Template talk:Todo: Difference between revisions

Line 45:

: It’s alright! I thought about something like that yesterday too when infoboxifying intervals pages: sometimes indeed you see something minor but don’t want to go all on, or don’t know how it can be made better, like more a question for others: “have you seen this? is this good enough?”.

: For an invisible marker, I immediately have an idea: just add an argument <code>invisible</code> and if it’s nonempty, then the template would add just categories (and maybe an empty <code>span</code> with a special class, so you can see it in the rendered page code if some need arises? and better a HTML comment inside it, with category names and the description). How do you find it? --[[User:Arseniiv|Arseniiv]] ([[User talk:Arseniiv|talk]]) 14:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

:: I think the todo in wikitext will be a good marker for itself. An HTML comment would only be visible in the HTML source (which is not normally inspected by wiki users). I'd plead for <code><nowiki>{{{inline|}}}</nowiki></code> to control the appearance within the article content (i.e. an opt-in solution). Since the auto-categorization is done, it ''is visible'' in any case. Two more suggestions:

:: 1) <code><nowiki>{{Todo}} -- never visible, but always categorized as ''todo''.</nowiki></code>

:: 2) <code><nowiki>{{Todo|comment}} -- always visible; not categorized if it's the only parameter</nowiki></code>

:: In this way we always have a visible effect in some form.
