Welcome

I just wanted to welcome to the wiki. It looks like you are doing a good job, keep it up. ^_^ -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 06:06, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks:) -- Mako Nozaki 15:14, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

You might want to instead rename the categories to something that are meaningful in Japanese, instead of forcing them to be internationalized English titles. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for advice Strife:) But many of categories have been already created with the name of such format... It would be difficult to fix them... I'm thinking inserting conversion of category name in LSL_Header/ja, which will have a map of Japanese name and XXX/ja, after finishing catching up with English pages. -- Mako Nozaki 15:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

About Template:LSL ConstRow

Once upon a time I had this great idea: make it so constant information can be accessed via template call. The devil was in the details. It was too costly to implement for PrimitiveParams. Sure I could have centralize the constant information but it would have been too difficult to edit. Eventually the project was shelved but before that happened Template:LSL ConstRow was written and deployed assuming the functionality would be provided. There is no harm in using it but it really should have been streamlined when work halted. I'm pretty sure the template would not have worked properly considering changes made in 1.13 to the parser (or was it 1.14?). -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 06:22, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

I see. I guessed you were trying to provide the constant assignment expression on the tooltip when I looked at it. I can't just ignore the semicolon at the end of string on it, and it was the only reason I tried to modify the template, so it is ok:) Anyway, cool template -- Mako Nozaki 06:43, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Another facet of the project is to provide tooltips for function links. A few months ago I figured out a way to make the project work (more or less). Every template that exists outside of the layout template call needs to be moved into a parameter of the call. Seeing as this is a huge amount of work, it remains on the back burner. But as I go through the articles I'm updating them to use the new "inject-x" parameters (which are actually an improvement, not just a means to an end; they solve a chicken-and-egg problem). It will probably be 6 months to a year before we see tooltips and automated descriptions in the link tables. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Template:Interval internationalizations‎

I've updated Template:Interval, it tries to include the international version of Template:Interval/Footnote if it can find it; if it can't it falls back to the english version. The additional parser cost is trivial. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
