::Please fix the broken \abs and \norm LaTeX that you introduced into https://en.xen.wiki/w/Dave_Keenan_%26_Douglas_Blumeyer's_guide_to_RTT/Tuning_computation and anywhere else you might have used them. I notice that \cdot works here, but I found it broken in one of our D&D articles recently and so I just changed it back to the literal unicode character "·".

== Template edit question ==

Could you plz explain what problem is solved by changes like [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Template:Inaccessible&curid=15693&diff=171378&oldid=167252 this]? Thanks in advance. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:04, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

: Often times, what'll happen if you put categories inside of an <code><includeonly></code> tag on a template and then show it on the documentation page, is that the categories will show up on the template page itself despite the tags. The stuff inside the <code><includeonly></code> tags will be visible on the transcluded page, and the template will be put into categories it's not meant to be in.

: For example, on [[Template:Who]], if [[:Category:Pages with unattributed statements]] had just an <code><includeonly></code> tag without the <code>#if:</code> statement, the template and its associated documentation page would get put inside the category even though they themselves aren't supposed to be there.

: The <code>#if:</code> statements I've added explicity check the name of the page (including the Template namespace) in order to exclude the tcategory from its page and the associated documentation.

== Pls respect others' spelling choices ==

I saw you replace en dashes with em dashes, replace ''modeling'' with ''modelling'', etc. Feel free to use whichever spelling and style you believe is more correct in your own writings, but others are entitled to do that too. So pls refrain from changing that unless for maintaining consistency within an article. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 09:49, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

: Again, pls stop replacing en dashes with em dashes where they can be used interchangeably. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:: Was it on [[3L 4s]]? What I did on that page was replace hyphen-minuses with minus signs (not en dashes or em dashes). [[User:ArrowHead294|<math>\overrightarrow{\,\,\scriptsize\text{ArrowHead294}\,\,\,}</math>]] [[User talk:ArrowHead294|(speak to me)]] 16:01, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

::: There's a lot of them which are not replacing hyphen-minuses in the first place, like this edit of [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=17%2F16&type=revision&diff=182974&oldid=182969 17/16], and you were doing it even after I notified you, like these edits of [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Chords_of_orwell&curid=1434&diff=183060&oldid=160702 Chords of orwell] and [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=27edo&type=revision&diff=183064&oldid=182578 27edo]. I can only guess you were you using a script to edit the pages. You're supposed to know what you have done but scripts allows you to skip reading thru the changes, which I strongly recommend against. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 11:48, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:::: I wasn't using scripts to edit anything, but I just noticed now that spaced en dashes are also used in this way. Thanks for letting me know.

== Scale tree template ==

Are you aware that by replacing the manual scale tree tables in mos pages with the template, you've removed all the comments? Next time pls remember to restore them, or if you can't bother, don't replace the manual table with the template. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

== Random little formatting edits? ==

What is the point of including the nbsp, <nowrap>, changing the dashes, etc? -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 01:42, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

* Non-wrapping stuff makes sure stuff that's supposed to stay together stays together. Sometimes I change dashes in order to keep the formatting consistent and make sure that appropriate punctuation is used in appropriate places. [[User:ArrowHead294|<math>\overrightarrow{\,\,\scriptsize\text{ArrowHead294}\,\,\,}</math>]] [[User talk:ArrowHead294|(speak to me)]] 02:08, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

== Regex, magic words, etc. ==

Pls only use them where necessary. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 14:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

: Found the problem: {{tlx|PAGENAME}} and the <code><nowiki>{{lc:</nowiki></code> directive in {{tlx|ED title}} were missing <code><nowiki>safesubst:</nowiki></code> directives, so they weren't substituting when I tried to substitute the entire template.
