Template previews

I noticed your attempts at twerking the backgrounds at template:Braille cell/core then reverting yourself. I just wanted to point out, in case you didn't know about it, that there is an option called "Preview page with this template" below the standard save/preview/show changes buttons, which will show you what your alterations will do to a page that uses the template you are modifying. Just FYI. Van Isaac, GHTV^contr_about 00:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VanIsaac: That doesn't work with core templates since the template itself is invisible. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {u - t? - _uselessc} 17:27, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll use the sandbox now, I thought the change would just work, but underestimated CSS' ability to not work —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {u - t? - _uselessc} 17:33, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming expiry of your templateeditor right

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "templateeditor" (Template editors) will expire on 00:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Template editor granted

Your account has been granted the "templateeditor" user permission, allowing you to edit templates and modules that have been protected with template protection. It also allows you to bypass the title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit editnotices. Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation.

You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.

This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a {{ping}} for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.

Colors

Heya! A couple months ago, you made this change to {{unblock reviewed}}. Your comment had to do with "dark mode compatibility", but the result for "unblock reviewed" when "accept" is set is an odd seafoam color #DFF2EB that doesn't seem to fit with anything. (It's a lovely color, certainly.) Where's it come from? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 04:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jpgordon: it comes from the Wikimedia Codex guide, search for background-color-success-subtle in [1]. It seems to fit in well as a pastel green per this example, but if you can specify why you don't like it I would be happy to hear. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {u - t? - _uselessc} 11:57, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't dislike it, it just puzzled me. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {u - t? - _uselessc} 16:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

light-dark

Hey, I saw you mentioning light-dark in a thread, but as I got an idea just after it being archived, I'm bringing this to you here.

We can get great compatibility with light-dark by using a fallback:

background-color: white; /* fallback to get 100% browser compatibility */
background-color: light-dark(white, black); /* will overwrite the first and be applied if the browser has support */

So, without the comments:

background-color:white; background-color:light-dark(white,black);

As dark mode users usually don't use older browsers, this should work for most of them, and it is quick and easy to implement! :) Arthurfragoso (talk) 16:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arthurfragoso: This isn't quite compatible. MediaWiki has the highest level of compatibility with versions of Chrome, FF, and Edge from 2022 and Safari from 2018. Thats not even getting into mobile browsers. light-dark() css browser compatibility is not that good, with most browsers only supporting from 2024+. We could revisit this in 3-4 years though. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {u - t? - _uselessc} 21:50, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if you understood that I said to use light-dark along with the fallback, and not using light-dark alone.

We can check statistical coverage at caniuse.

But I'd say to use in that way only in Templates that doesn't already contain a stylesheet page.

-- Arthurfragoso (talk) 22:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arthurfragoso: I understood. The problem is there are many browser versions that support MediaWiki dark mode but don't support light-dark(), so this wouldn't work. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {u - t? - _uselessc} 18:54, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
