Hi, recently there was a VP discussion about a signature bot. Is anyone capable of writing a SineBot clone and sticking it somewhere to run continuously on Commons (i.e. WMFlabs or TS)? [[User:Mono|'''Mono''']] 15:24, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

== Display issues of language templates ==

+

+
There are two kinds of display issues of language templates:

+
# The text in parameter 1 is not displayed due to a = in the text. The 1= in the beginning that avoids this problem is missing. Examples: [[Special:Permalink/28178560]], [[Special:Permalink/69118001]], [[Special:Permalink/24951271]]

+
# If there are a certain number of language templates that are used as {{en}}Some sample text, the [[meta:WM:LS|''language select'' feature]] effects all texts to be displayed after each other (with the language names in a block above). Examples: [[Special:Permalink/42105123]], [[Special:Permalink/31255164]], [[Special:Permalink/72387078]]

+

+
We have [[:Category:Template:De with no text displayed]] and [[:Category:Template:nl with no text displayed]] where pages with these problems for {{tl|de}} and {{tl|nl}} are in. The vast majority of cases has already been fixed for the former category. A large fraction of pages in these categories do not have one of the two problems described above, since there are not (yet) enough language templates to trigger the ''language select'' feature.

+

+
I think that there should we maintenance categories for all languages templates, but fixing would not be feasible without getting assistance by bots. The main task would be to move the text after a language template inside it:

+
:{{en}}Some sample text

+
:{{en|Some sample text}}

+
or

+
:{{en}}Some sample text with a = in it

+
:{{en|1=Some sample text with a = in it}}
