The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (]).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
In 2017 these were changed to only be a <noinclude>
tag, I assume with the intent of making them do nothing since the topX templates now handle column-splitting themselves, but in practice what the midX templates now do is split the <ul>
tag where they're called, so with {{top3}}
you normally get:
vs. with {{mid3}}
after "c":
You can see an example in practice at this revision of farthing#Derived terms. The upshot is that (other than on mobile) the list ends up looking like it's nonsensically ordered. I propose running a bot job to scrub these templates from entries—it looks like they're linked a few thousand times apiece, so it shouldn't be overwhelming—and then deleting them. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 20:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
{{der-mid*}}
, {{des-mid}}
, {{desc-mid}}
, {{hyp-mid*}}
and {{rel-mid*}}
(along with {{trans-mid}}
once the new versions have been pushed; @This, that and the other any reason they haven't been pushed yet?). I also don't think we need to wait a month to do this; maybe a week at most. Benwing2 (talk) 02:38, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
{{mid4}}
. Since some pages seem to rely on the blank-line behavior of {{mid4}}
I did this carefully and only changed pages where it seemed fairly safe to do so (e.g. the line before or after begins with a *
, :
or #
or the {{mid4}}
occurs adjacent to {{top*}}
or {{bottom}}
). This biggest set of remaining pages are those using {{hu-verbpref}}
, which makes use of {{mid4}}
in a complicated way. The few other pages still using {{mid4}}
are mostly junk, e.g. Wiktionary:Easter Competition 2009 and User:KYPark/ㄱ. Can you take a look at {{hu-verbpref}}
and see if we can just remove the {{mid4}}
usages? Thanks! Benwing2 (talk) 05:26, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
{{mid3}}
as well, and again there are some left-over cases. Benwing2 (talk) 09:22, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
{{mid5}}
and am working on {{mid2}}
. Benwing2 (talk) 09:11, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
{{mid2}}
; it will be done in a couple of hours (but again there are some leftovers ...). Benwing2 (talk) 09:41, 1 January 2023 (UTC){{hu-verbpref}}
is just cosmetic. I'll get rid of it. This, that and the other (talk) 09:56, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
{{mid*}}
(also {{mid}}
), but please review and delete. Bot is running to remove {{der-mid*}}
now. Benwing2 (talk) 20:21, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
{{mid5}}
initially, and will continue with the others later. This, that and the other (talk) 23:40, 1 January 2023 (UTC)All deleted now. A separate RFDO is open for {{trans-mid}}
, see #Template:trans-mid. This, that and the other (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
