Template talk:Current events

message: Is there a reason not to just add something like subtle border-radius: 0.25em to the div boxes and border-radius: 0.25em 0.25em 0 0; to the header boxs? just feel like that would go a long way in making current events just look nicer, but would be very simple and subtle. 173.246.232.42 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 15:41, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding border radius?

message: I've noticed that this template is getting extremely wide. This is due in part to the inclusion of the location of the "Upcoming holidays". The current width offender is "May 29: Feast of Corpus Christi (Catholicism in the U.S.)". I propose that we get rid of the location part. This should be covered in the article.

:Width is an ongoing problem.  Just keep an eye on it, and if something is too wide, find a way to make it narrower.  Be bold! -- ke4roh 15:14, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

message: :October 4: CA 48th Congressional District Primary (U.S.)
There are 435 U.S. Representatives in the House.  I don't think one special election belongs on this page.  If you disagree, please come up with a short way to express it so it doesn't make the Current events side bar too wide. -- ke4roh 15:14, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Special elections 

message: I argued some time ago that we should not be listing ANY deaths on this page.  Recent Deaths is the place for them to go, and any debates about notability or otherwise of individuals should happen there and only there.  This page should provide a link to Recent Deaths, but not list any of them.  Otherwise we end up with 2 separate lists of people who have died recently, and neither of them necessarily contains entries that occur in the other list.  This is a dumb outcome, and we're smarter than that.  JackofOz 01:27, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Then we shouldn't have elections, trials or holidays either.  The deaths of well known politicians and such is news and thus should be listed on the current events template.--Kross | Talk 03:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of Nguyen

message: I've removed the wikilinks to the first reference to each country, in the template of ongoing trials - they needlessly clog up the page, and were not evenly applied.  I feel it is much cleaner now, and nobody reading the list of trials wants to go "ooh, the United States...what country is that?" Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 01:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've Googled and searched Wikipedia but haven't been able to find any significant event which would lead to February 15th being "Harry Potter Day".  I love the HP series as much as any fan, but why is this listed in the Wikipedia as an observed holiday? --BakerQ 16:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The individual day pages (e.g. Portal:Current events/2017 October 5) are transcluded at WP:ITN/C. The change to use this template rather than template:Current events header means that the headers here ("Current events of October 5, 2017 (2017-10-05) (Thursday)") and subheaders (e.g. "Law and crime") are appearing in the TOC at that page (WP:ITN/C) whereas they did not with the old format. I've had a quick look at the code but it's well beyond my ability to understand. See also Wikipedia talk:In the news#Portal:Current events. Thryduulf (talk) 12:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  This template is causing problems at [[WP:ITN/C]] 

message: Instead of "Month Num, Year (Day)" I think the heading would look better as "Day, Month Num, Year" or "Day Num Month Year". So instead of "April 8, 2018 (Sunday)" it would be "Sunday, April 8 2018" or "Sunday 8 April 2018".  Nixinova  T  C  06:47, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

message: To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!
WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recen research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.
Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[WP:CEN]] is now open! 

message: I noticed this a while (some weeks) ago but was too lazy to report it until now.
Steps to reproduce:
# Use Vector 2022.
# Go to Portal:Current events or wherever you can see the template in action, including the actual template page.
# Notice the issue: https://i.imgur.com/9NFp805.png
However, it looks as expected if you use the mobile version of Wikipedia (en.m).
Expected behavior:
# Use Vector Legacy (2010)
# Repeat step 2 from above.
# It looks just like before the breakage: https://i.imgur.com/vvgnoSX.png
Tested in a vanilla profile in newest Firefox on Linux.
I looked into the history of this template but even the change that was made a month ago does not fix the issue. To me it looks like the skin "broke" this template somehow. I have not seen any other problems related to the skin, so this is quite a weird issue. NetSysFire (talk) 03:30, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
