Template talk:Unsigned2

message: I often find myself copying and pasting a line from a history page to get the parameters into this template. The only annoying part was adding the pipe between the date and username. Behold, addPipesToHistory, a script that will add a sort-of-hidden pipe that will be copied along with the other text. I thought this simpler CSS version might work, but it turns out the added content does not get selected. If you try it and have any trouble, let me know, and I'll do what I can to help. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-17 05:52:43Z
:interesting! I went at it the other way round... in User:Lar/moretabs/monobook.js function addUnsigned2() takes an unpiped history comment as input and tries to figure out where the pipe belongs. It's suitable for invoking from a tab or tabmenu. (and yes, teh second arg on the second substr is not needed...) ++Lar: t/c 06:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested edit 

message: Could we have a simple explanation on the template page to describe its function such as:
:This is a reversed version of  so users can just copy (1) the time and (2) the username from the edit history into the template, without needing to re-order it.
Also advise the user to subst (if the admin doing this agrees with me on this point). Thanks, ~ hydnjo talk 15:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested edit 2

message: This is part of a double edit request.  This page should include an extra unnamed parameter that would allow a user to be listed as a modified username.  For instance, User:SPLATCO who prefers to be linked like $plat or User:Chzz who prefers to be linked like  Chzz  ► .  This edit would add an extra parameter that would then be sent to the  template.  The edit would look like this:

Once we have Lua templates though it will be easy to make all these templates significantly smarter, so we won't have to worry about template order and whether or not to add the  anymore.

thread_title:  Deprecated template? 

message: I've added lowercase sigmabot III to a talk page (Talk:Gypsy Rose Lee) for its next scheduled run, and I'm adding templates to any section ending in an insigned comment, to make sure they all archive correctly. But I think I'm getting some of Unsigned2's base code instead of results, see text below.

I did use the subst version of the template. And the very top of the main article for the Unsigned2 template also has the above text on it right now, instead of any actual username, so I suspect there is something busted. CleverTitania (talk) 05:46, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You must provide a username, and for it to be picked up by lowercase sigmabot III, you also need to supply a timestamp.  will fix it: for the first, I used ; for the others, I used  and  respectively. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:37, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for fix this. My impression was that the templates were supposed to pull in the username and IP address from the page's history, not that they needed to be added manually; and the instructions for the bot didn't say anything about adding timestamps. But this is my first time using the bot and the templates and I might've missed those details somewhere. I  appreciate the assist. CleverTitania (talk) 14:22, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The documentation says that users copy the time and the username from the edit history. Also, bots like lowercase sigmabot III select threads for archiving based upon their ages; so a timestamp is necessary for the bot to know the age of the thread. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:19, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
