Template applies to article but points back to different template
editI have this problem with Bash article. Latest stable software release/Bash is used in the article, but [+/-] sign points to Latest stable software release/Bash (Unix shell). It most likely happened because the article changed its title at some point. I could probably easily fix it by moving the template under new link, but that would break all other articles that use the template. What is the best solution here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by K4rolB (talk • contribs) 19:24, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Small must be removed
editBy including small in this template, it violates MOS:ACCESS, specifically MOS:SMALLTEXT, Avoid using smaller font sizes within elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes, and reference sections. This means that <small>...</small> tags, and templates such as {{small}} and {{smaller}}, should not be applied to plain text within those elements. In no case should the resulting font size of any text drop below 85% of the page's default font size (i.e. 11.9 px in Vector skin or 10.8 px in Monobook). The font size is too small.

- Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:30, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- I also fixed {{LPR}}, which had the same accessibility problem. Small text was displaying at 75% of the default font size in the infobox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Option to use / instead of brackets to separate release date and release version?
editI feel like that would help with consistency especially when used in conjunction with Template:Multiple releases Nathanielcwm (talk) 08:59, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Error: Preview and article do not produce the same result.
editThe template LSR, such as:
{{LSR
| article = Linux
| latest release version = 5.13
| latest release date = {{Start date and age|2021|06|27|df=yes}}
}}
does not produce the same result in preview like a live article.
In preview it shows the correct day difference (today (2021-07-06): "9 days ago"), But it shows Template:Latest stable software release/Linux ("1 day ago") instead, as it were 28 June 2021 today. Go, edit the previous link and check it out!

Resolved
No edit link if Template:Wikidata is used
editI think this template should able to detect whether {{Wikidata}} is used to display version number and date, to my eyes, if {{Wikidata}} is used, this template should hide the [±] link. --Great Brightstar (talk) 15:12, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Don't we need references item for this template?
editI think we need it.. as we do have when the version number is added from Wikidata, we can add a reference. Regpath (talk) 14:08, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
