== Question about [[Template:Multi-lang]] ==
== linking keywords with <nowiki><syntaxhighlight></nowiki> ==
Heyas =)<br>
I was trying to add the new ''version'' feature to the [[Template:Help/de|help template]] and stumbled upon a difficulty where I hoped you could help me with... I made a testpage at [[User:Zai Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/de]] but it acts weird... when i make a change to [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/version]] then the box is displayed at the test page. When I just edit and save the test page (without changing anything) it eats up the language bar. It acts somehow unexpectedly/random. I don't really know why it is... (o.O) Any ideas?<br>

:hm... the bug seems to be very strange. And it isn't part of the template.
:Please try the following and tell me what you see:
:*Log out of the Wiki and then browse to [[Quickie_Wiki_Intro/Usercategories]] (or [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/de]]). Notice: there is a language bar on top
:*Log in the Wiki and look at the same page. Notice: Language bar is gone.
:*Edit the article and preview. Notice: Language bar is visible in preview.
:*Save the article. Notice: Language bar is gone again.
:*Go to [[Special:Preferences]] and change the interface language (to German, for example). Notice: The language bar is visible...
:*Change the language back to English. Notice: The language bar is gone again...

Strife, I was wondering if you'd mind if I took the idea from the grids and downloads list that you have and turned it into a template since I know of a few places (my userpage for one :) ) where it could be useful and I didn't just want to copy off the code especially without your permission.

Heyas! =)<br>
It's good to be back! I've been away for far too long. Thanks for the pointers, RE: [[llPassTouches]] and [[llPassCollisions]]. I'll be sure to review my tweaks to [[touch_start]] ASAP and update as necessary. I'm very glad to see you're still around. ;)
It's me again... I wanted to ask for feedback/input on these two templates: [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/de|German]], [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/fr|French]].<br> It would be supposed to easily provide unified localized LSL cats so translators wouldn't accidentally connect an article to a wrong category when they'd choose another translation for the same word. I implemented a small test version in [[Template:LSL Function/de]], [[Template:LSL Event/de]], [[Template:LSL Constant/de]], [[Template:LSLC/de]] and [[Template:LSLGC/de]]. I tried about 5 different ways of implementing the template itself (without database-slaves) but they all failed due to either wiki limitations or parser function bugs (it worked well in the sandbox wiki). I'd like to try it in the German localization (can't break much content there at the moment...) and in case it works out fine, Gally would be willing to help me for the French implementation. Do you have any objections against the template (could it break something? slow the wiki down?) or input, thoughts, ...? Are there more templates besides the 5 I already altered, where I should pay attention to?<br>

:I've given a lot of thought to slaves in the past (there was a time I wanted a centralized function/constant/event description lookup for the "Also..." section). The correct way to implement them is to have a slave for each letter, the advantage is that slaves can have slaves. If implemented properly the cost is very small. The problem however is that you have to be conscious of the format. If you want to change the format you have to change the entire DB. I believe the best solution is to version each of the entries. Now at this point you need to take a step back and ask "Am I reinventing the wheel?" And the answer is "Yes". Essentially what you want is a database where you can feed it a key and get the stored value pair.
-- Oh, never mind! I see you updated the [[touch_start]] page. Excellent!
[[User:Nava Muni|Nava]] ([[User talk:Nava Muni|talk]]) 15:51, 3 January 2016 (PST)


:There is of course another solution to this problem. Make all the Categories smart so they can be included (like the PRIM_* flags), and pass it a parameter that tells it to only return the foreign language category name you specify OR you could make a subpage like we do for the translation version (which would be really smart) and just have the lookup table there.
:I honestly made about the most minimal edit I could. I really wasn't up for rewriting the article and what you wrote was good. I mostly lurk these days and only spring into action when there is some new function or constant that needs documenting or the documentation is globally contradictory.


:Anywho there are my initial thoughts on this. Last time I checked MW executes both sides of a conditional, so you need to make it so what is inside the conditional is not the template but just the name of the template (so it only executes text and not a template). -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' <sup><small>([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]])</small></sup> 01:42, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:I'm thinking of moving some of that content into templates or something, merging the touch event articles maybe, like [[llSetPrimitiveParams]]. The new Bento project has me excited.
