== Accidental short-circuit in ternary expressions at lines 51 and 73 ==

This module has a mistake at lines 51 and 73, in the instances of {{code|1=or (nullIfMissing and nil or [foo])|lang=lua}}; these lines attempt to output <code>nil</code> if <code>nullIfMissing</code> is truthy and otherwise <code>[foo]</code>, but because nil is falsy, the <code>or [foo]</code> will always trigger, and as such the expression simply short-circuits to <code>or [foo]</code>. {&#123;'''[[User:Lemondoge|Lemondoge]]'''&#124;[[User talk:Lemondoge|Talk]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Lemondoge|Contributions]]&#125;} 22:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

{{Edit template-protected|Module:Storm categories/categories|answered=yes}}

Could you please replace [[Module:Storm categories/categories]] with what's at [[Module:Storm categories/categories/sandbox]]? It includes many new scales for various events (most of which were pegged to the existing scheme and the drought ones were discussed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/New Weather Infobox|here]]) and icons for the Beaufort scale I produced. The new scales are properly displayed at [[Module:Storm categories/sandbox]]. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]^{[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]} 11:45, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Please update the current template with the version currently in the sandbox ({{comparePages|Module:Storm categories|Module:Storm categories/sandbox|compare}}). Please be careful not to copy over the top and the <code>demo</code> function of the module, which imports sandbox modules; only the relevant parts changed under the first few lines.

{{Editedit template-protected|Module:Storm categories/categories|answered=yes}}

Three significant changes were made to the template:

Change "Supertyphoon" (Line 215) to "Super typhoon" [[User:Wolf20482|<span style="background-color:purple; color:white;">'''wolf20482 🐺'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Wolf20482|talk]]) 13:38, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

* An <code>isEqual</code> function was introduced to check if two categories are equal (while also checking aliases),

:{{done}}<!-- Template:ETp --> – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 15:21, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

* <code>nullIfMissing</code> was renamed to <code>nilIfMissing</code> in all relevant functions.

* <code>_name</code> was fixed to respect the <code>nilIfMissing</code> parameter, which it previously did not.

== EditTemplate-protected edit request 18on 20 April 20232025 ==

I've created the [[Module:Storm categories/testcases|testcases page]] for future reference and for showing that the changes work (see [[Module talk:Storm categories/testcases|run results]]). Please let me know if there's any additional changes that need to be made.

This line should be included as an alias for the "subtropical" category (i.e. placed right below the definition for "ss" near the bottom of the code):

== Template-protected edit request on 6 May 2023 ==

In case it's necessary, the agency responsible for warning on tropical cyclones in the South-West Indian Ocean has begun using a new category for subtropical cyclones with maximum sustained wind speeds at or above 35 kt. This should be reflected here for use in an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024-25_South-West_Indian_Ocean_cyclone_season), which includes a storm that has been recently designated with this category.

Please replace the text on the [[Module:Storm categories/categories]] page with what's currently at [[Module:Storm categories/categories/sandbox]]. The change includes more new scales as well as the addition of dozens of status icon images.
