Module talk:Country population
Static Row Numbers
Hey, Jts1882, would {{srn}} be useful in this module? — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 (talk) 21:59, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Done- FYI, you can't just add templates or tags to wikitext output generated in a module, as they won't expand properly. You need to use
frame:expandTemplateorframe:extensionTag - P.S. I don't think the template {{srn}} is a good idea. It's to short to make it clear what it does and looks like one of the short note citation template, which could confuse people. Better to use the full template name which gives an indication of what it is doing. — Jts1882 | talk 08:56, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Bottom alignment
Jts1882: Rows seem to be valigned to the bottom. I had a look at the code, and could only find bottom alignment for the header row, which is fine. — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 (talk) 01:07, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Flaglist vs Flagcountry
Jts1882: Wouldn't {{flaglist}} be better for alignment than {{flagcountry}} here? — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Template wrapper
I started a template wrapper for this module bc I wanted to pass the list of countries as a template (like the {{List of countries in South America}}), bc the MW engine processes modules before templates. The main function here is commented with called from template
, but I got stuck passing through the arguments. Did you already create the template you referred to there, Jts1882, or can you help me beat that one into shape? Cheers. — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 ☎ 08:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
