Template talk:Article history

message: While implementing my bot I noticed some talk pages have a DYK image (e.g. Talk:2022 United States infant formula shortage) and article history doesn't seem to have (at least a documented) way to include that in its DYK parameters. We should probably preserve the image in the template, so is it desirable to add a functionality for that? Also ping . 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 08:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Please add the "hide" button to collapse this template. Most of the large banner groups have this option other than this, which leaves this sticking out. See Talk:Marvel Cinematic Universe as an example. Gonnym (talk) 13:43, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

message: It would be great to make this template as compact as possible in its collapsed form. The current failed GA text says:
: XYZ was a Topic good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
This text takes up a lot of space. I wonder if it can be shortened. Possibly the text could be cut down to just 1 sentence in the 'collapsed' state, or perhaps it could be shortened to e.g.
: XYZ was a Topic good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. If editors believe there was a mistake or if it has been improved since then it can be renominated.

replies: text: I would support this; in particular, the line "There may be suggestions below for improving the article" at the very least is problematic. GANs may have been archived since then so there's a good chance they're not "below". Aza24 (talk) 21:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can the text for failed/ex GA/FA be made more concise? 

message: Could someone familar with modules create the parameter maindate1 as an alias for maindate please, so that edits like this keep the relevant page in :Category:Featured articles that have appeared on the main page twice. Thanks.  — Voice of Clam (talk) 07:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

message: A change was recently made to the GA topics, and now "football" (among other things) is a valid topic for GA.  The sports section at GAN is now divided into football and other sports. GARs are listed at GAN under the relevant topic, so when Australian rules football was GARed recently, it appeared in "Other sports reassessments" because the topic was taken from article history.  I changed the topic to "football", which has corrected the placement of the GAR on the GAN page, but now the talk page AH banner says "has been listed as one of the good articles" instead of "has been listed as one of the Sports and recreation good articles", so it appears AH is aware of the GAN topic list.  What needs to be done to make it aware of the new key words? Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 23:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

message: I have started  to cater to the obvious demand (175 uses), even though portals don't have content review processes anymore (as far as I am aware). Still on the todo list include supporting MFDs and Wikipedia:Portal peer review (which this template never supported). I realize that these are historical processes, but that is kinda the point of these templates: documenting history. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
