Template talk:Other uses of

message: Per WP:DAB guidelines, article titles should not be placed in italics in top links. Please keep this template in-line with existing guidelines and otheruses templates, or explain why we should switch to a new style of formatting. --Muchness 07:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The word "italic" or "italics" appears nowhere on that page. In fact, the examples there are italicised.  Other templates of this kind are fairly inconsistent. -- Netoholic @ 07:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  In the top link examples given on WP:DAB, the header sentences are italicized, but the article titles are not individually formatted. It was the article title formatting that I had issue with, since there's no precedent for this style of formatting in other widely used dab templates or in WP formatting guidelines. --Muchness 07:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Formatting

message: It seems really irresponsible to me to use this template and others like it.  I just edited a page atop which a notice said
:"For other uses of colour separation, see ..."
What it actually meant, as far as I could tell, was "For other uses of the TERM "colour separation", see...".
How about "For other uses of slave labor, see ..."?

message: For example on Pugs,  yields:
However, titles of articles in hatnotes should have an initial capital, since that's the normalised form of article names (e.g. from ). So this template should capitalise its second argument when it reuses it and adds " (disambiguation)" as the link. Unfortunately, since m:StringFunctions isn't installed on WP, this doesn't seem to be possible. Hairy Dude 02:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Please apply Special:Diff/953627233/986361870 to suppress categorization of talk pages and user pages into :Category:Hatnote templates using unusual parameters. This is similar to what Module:Hatnote does since Special:Diff/967664662. —⁠andrybak (talk) 11:07, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I've found a bug in my previous diff. I didn't realize that the variable currentTitle was used for the string field .prefixedTitle, rather than the title object itself. Fix is ready in the sandbox: Special:Diff/986376893/986687262. I've tested this change in preview mode on a user page from  :Category:Hatnote templates using unusual parameters. —⁠andrybak (talk) 11:37, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
