Add gray border

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

This template looks odd, it uses the same color that the Wikipedia software uses to highlight a comment on a talk page (when the user copies a link to the comment or it's linked to from somewhere else)

I suggest adding a 1px border, not dissimilar to the one used in the {{talk header}} at the top of this page. FaviFake (talk) 10:46, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Added TPER since nobody objected.--FaviFake (talk) 11:07, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:40, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I keep forgetting. Here's the change: in Template:Committed identity/styles.css, change:

Empty-string hash detection

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Committed identity.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

There are several cases of user having empty-string hash there by some mistake (I did send them a message). These could be easily detected. See my proposal (diff) in the template sandbox. (Usable test case is in user:Mykhal/tmp, revisions for production version: 1319511046, sandboxed version: 1319511141). —Mykhal (talk) 07:31, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mykhal, what do you think of my tweaks on top of your changes? I've switched Template:Committed identity/testcases to use Template:Test case to make the demonstrations clearer. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:55, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrybak: Changes are not bad (but my intended possible further improvements would probably involve moving more things from switch outcomes to common code, rather than the opposite direction – maybe the error message does not have to include the hash value). —Mykhal (talk) 06:28, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
