Wouldn't it make sense to add the {{tl|NoWiki}} code somewhere to the Edit box? I keep forgetting how I can make a url/square brackets/accolades appear without them invoking a template or so. Thy

Can't change the population density per square mile in the infobox section.

[[User:JanekD30|JanekD30]] ([[User talk:JanekD30|talk]]) 18:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:Because it's auto calculated from population_density_km2. Also see [[Template:Infobox_settlement]]. [[User:MarMi wiki|MarMi wiki]] ([[User talk:MarMi wiki|talk]]) 21:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

== Include format when copying table cells ==

Please consider including formatting—e.g. background, alignment, etc—when copy/pasting cells in a table. It seems easy enough to include the whole content in the cell—e.g. <code>||{{highlight|align{{=}}center style{{=}}background:yellow {{!}} 243,567}} {{!!}}</code>—rather than selecting out the text part only—<code>{{!!}} align=center style=background:yellow {{!}} {{highlight|243,567}} {{!!}}</code>. Is it?

Perhaps later, one could also think of implementing ''paste values'' and ''paste format'' options. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Guarapiranga|Guarapiranga]] ([[User talk:Guarapiranga#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Guarapiranga|contribs]]) 15:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)</span>

== Table cell background colour ==

Please consider including a palette of background colour options on the editor ribbon. Cheers. [[User:Guarapiranga|Guarapiranga]] ([[User talk:Guarapiranga|talk]]) 07:56, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

== editor has lines mis-spaced ==

Using Chrome to edit page, there is a dummy blank line in editor window. Cursor position on screen when editing then does not match the logical position within the data, so editing mistakes will happen.

[[User:Spike &#39;em|Spike &#39;em]] ([[User talk:Spike &#39;em|talk]]) 09:59, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

:[[File:Wp editor.gif|thumb|example of visual editor problem]] All the lines below "Stephen Henderson" are mis-spaced, so I can type on that blank line and it puts text in the next real row about "Vicente Guita". I have tried resizing browser width to no avail. [[User:Spike &#39;em|Spike &#39;em]] ([[User talk:Spike &#39;em|talk]]) 10:08, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

::Actually, if I make browser window so wide that the 3rd line (starting <nowiki>"{{updated"</nowiki> is on one line, then the problem goes away. [[User:Spike &#39;em|Spike &#39;em]] ([[User talk:Spike &#39;em|talk]]) 10:12, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

{{VE Bug2

| description = Editor has lines mis-spaced, changes made to page do not appear where expected

| intention = Editting table contents

| steps =

#Clicked on Edit Source on the Appearances and goals section in Player Statisics

#Was met by a screen with a phantom blank line and squiggly lines indicating misspelling in places where there is no text

#When I click on some text in middle of page to place cursor and then type, the new text appears in the line below (the line that ''should'' be where the cursor was place should the phantom line not be there

#It happens each time I edit the page

#<s>It seems to depend on where a long line of text at the top of the table is split when window is resized. If split is in the hyphen in the middle of "crystal-palace" in the url,</s> the strange behaviour happens with a browser width of between 1214 and 1569 px.

:I think this is still a bug, as it does behave strangely, but I stopped the problem occurring in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2019%E2%80%9320_Crystal_Palace_F.C._season&diff=929545155&oldid=929464643 this edit] by removing a large amount of whitespace at the end of the "Stephen Henderson" line. I've left a copy of the problem-some table (with the whitespace) at [[User:Spike 'em/sandbox/Tab1]], which I can still reproduce the problem with.

How do I change this picture? Don Salas y Castro lived way before the onset of photography. There are no known pictures of him; however, it is known for certainty that he was a bi-racial man, with African features. This picture is totally inaccurate.

== VE producing <nowiki>{{safesubst:...}}</nowiki> inside ref in frwiki ==

Hi. I tried to report this problem on [[phab:T241586|Phabricator]], but quickly closed without investigating... On frwiki, it has been several weeks/months that VE is creatings things like <code><nowiki><ref>{{Lien web|langue=|auteur1=|titre=Red Star 93|url=https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_Football_Club|site=https://www.redstar.fr/|périodique=|date=|consulté le={{safesubst:Aujourd'hui}}}}</ref></nowiki></code>. The <nowiki>{{safesubst:...}}</nowiki> (Aujourd'hui means today) is supposed to be initialized with the date where the reference has been added (it's the access date). The template doesn't define this default value in the TemplateData (cf. [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:ApiSandbox#action=templatedata&format=json&titles=Mod%C3%A8le%3ALien%20web API call]: "autovalue": ""), but in some situations it seems to be added nonetheless by VE. Any idea on where to look and how to fix this problem? --[[User:NicoV|NicoV]] ^{([[:fr:Discussion Utilisateur:NicoV|Talk on frwiki]])} 18:56, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
