Today User:Zvn edited section "Removing elements". He changed this:

:''To move an element simply attach it in another place with <ttcode>appendChild()</ttcode> or <ttcode>insertBefore()</ttcode>.''

to this:

:''To move an element simply attach it in another place with <ttcode>appendChild()</ttcode> or <ttcode>insertBefore()</ttcode> and remove the original element with <ttcode>removeChild()</ttcode>.''

I am just a beginner javacoder, but I think that is wrong. There is no need to remove the item from the old position manually, that happens automatically when one has inserted it in a new position.

Line 93:

Is there a reason the code is written <code>document.editform.wpTextbox1.value = "{" + "{wikify}}\n\n" + document.editform.wpTextbox1.value;</code>? Why are the two left brackets separated? [[User:Dimpizzy|Dimpizzy]] ([[User talk:Dimpizzy|talk]]) 17:42, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

:Probably to keep {{t|wikify}}'s content from getting substituted into the code, which can happen if you don't wrap your scripts in

<syntaxhighlight lang="js">//<nowiki>

scriptGoesHere();

//</nowiki></syntaxhighlight>

::Ah ok, I just saw the sentence in the page after the code explaining why as well, and I came back here to delete this topic, but you were too quick! [[User:Dimpizzy|Dimpizzy]] ([[User talk:Dimpizzy|talk]]) 17:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
