Could you fix the script error in this page? Frietjes (talk) 20:05, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing… —Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:06, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Frietjes:  Done thanks for bringing that to my attention. I HATE these. If you are curious as to the problem, it was a Unicode NBSP. Jonesey95 educated me on these here. I had never heard of this issue. If you copy and paste the date to this website you’ll see you get July 5, 1968 when it should just be July 5, 1968. Module:Person date doesn’t play well with Unicode NBSPs (which aren’t allow on Wikipedia but sneak in via copy-paste).

Out of curiousity, how did you find this issue? I’d like to check if there are more that I can fix… — Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:12, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found it in Category:Pages with script errors. Thank you! Frietjes (talk) 20:20, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve added that category to those that I watch. appreciate it! —Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:26, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno, Explicit, and Primefac: I am working on a proposal to redo {{Infobox Australian place}} as a wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}. I am debating whether to do this as a TFM or as a RFC. It would seem it fits the bill for a TFM as I am in essence merging it with Infobox settlement. On the other hand, my proposal on the mater (which is still a WIP) is LONG… User:Zackmann08/australia tfd has my notes as they currently look, as I said, still a WIP. My concern is that this is FAR too long for a TFM and would be better suited for a RFC. As frequent closers of TFDs/TFMs I have pinged you for your input. Do you have any opinion on which route I should take? Thanks in advance for your feedback! —Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:15, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal doesn’t necessarily need to be huge; if you can get a wrapper sandboxed that does everything you say, your TFD statement can just be essentially “here is my wrapper, see it works in <testcases>, these are a few reasons why it’s a good idea…” and let discussion go from there. Based on the 2020 TFD, though, you’ll definitely need your proof of concept before you nominate. As far as the TFD/RFC question goes… this gets into the weeds of why a wrapper is a Good Thing for this template, and an RFC will likely not bring in the types of people who will know/care about these sorts of distinctions.

Address all of the issues raised in the previous TFD, then propose a merge and show your work using the testcases page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:22, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just saw your changes in the Motorsport venue info boxes, but I did nit see your motivation and changes in the motorsport venue infobox. Why did the parameters changed as lowercase, and why was the time zone information removed? Especially, the timezone information could be relevant for the motor racing circuits especially in the countries with multiple time zones. Apeiro94 (talk) 12:31, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
