Educate me

[edit]

Quesiton for ya… This change that you made. What is the purpose? Obviously no objection, but for my own edification, is there some benefit to using the template over the redirect and/or to capitalizing? Looking to learn. Thanks! — Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:37, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's just that there's one less template in the "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" list if you ever look at that list when editing the page. The capitalizing was just for consistency as you have some upper and lower. No technical reasons for that. And I only did it due to removing the redirect. Wouldn't have bothered doing if that was the only thing I was changing. -- WOSlinker (talk) 20:51, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha. Makes total sense. Thanks. —Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:07, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for content of deleted template

[edit]

If you are able, can you please retrieve the deleted contents of Template:Taxonomy/ from before 16 January 2022, when it was deleted? I do not have access to deleted page contents. I think it may have been deleted in error. You can place the contents in User:Jonesey95/sandbox or another appropriate place. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:40, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95:, the revision before the 16 Jan 2022 was:

{Placeholder <strong class="error">error message</strong>}.
<noinclude>
{{for|a list of templates in the "Template:Taxonomy/" namespace|Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Taxonomy/}}

This template is called whenever processing taxonomy templates passes the top of the hierarchy, because the parent of "Life" is the empty string.

Deleting this placeholder template will raise false errors with [[Template:Taxobox]], through [[Template:Taxobox/taxonomy cell]].  The content of this template must begin with a brace for proper functioning.
</noinclude>

Thanks! I will continue to investigate. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:33, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
