Errors in date handling.: reply to Pppery

: {{ping|RexxS}} I don't think this worked in any version of the module before the one you just created. [[User:Pppery|Pppery]], [[User talk:Pppery|the demodulator]] 22:07, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
:: Alert: {{u|χ}}, the module you simplified has cropped back up again as [[Module:Ordinal-cd]]. [[User:Pppery|Pppery]], [[User talk:Pppery|the demodulator]] 22:20, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
::: {{re|Pppery}} It has always worked on Commons using the modules there: [[:c:Module talk:WikidataIB/testing #Earliest and latest date as qualifiers]]. Restoring the enwiki versions to the ones used in Commons fixed the problem illustrated by the first invoke in my previous post. So it's difficult to see how the changes/deletions made to the Commons modules since they were originally imported were ''not'' responsible for the error, but I don't intend to quibble about it. However, I really think we ought to be trying to keep modules working fully, rather than worrying about keeping the namespace tidy. In the long-term, I'd really like to consolidate the functionality of most of the dependent modules into WikidataIB{{snd}} it's currently about 100kB or about the size of one or two images, so not a big load on the servers. But I need to find the time to sandbox a series of changes to reduce the number of dependencies. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 22:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
::: Unfortunately, when trying to fix a problem that manifests itself on enwiki and not on Commons, the simplest fix is to re-import the contents of the modules from Commons. I recommend checking the testcases following changes from known, working code. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 22:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
