Template:Bl
Hey, can you use the preview button instead of making heaps of (very) minor changes? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 09:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree that this is annoying. I tried using preview, but it wouldn't show my changes because the template hadn't been purged. From now on, I'll use a test template; I'll experiment on it, and port the final results back to bl. Hope this helps. :). However, I can't think of any more changes to make for the time being. Thanks for the feedback. :) —Immutetalk 16:57, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, since the template wasn't includeonly'd, it was showing the changes, but the switch had no default so the end result was an empty span. You should've given it something to parse.
 * In the case of includeonly'd templates, you can just change the starting includeonly tag so that it's no longer valid (remove the < from it perhaps), so that it'll show the template normally. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 17:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the transcluded documentation; I, at least, couldn't see changes with it. I see what you did with the template.  Very clever!  I'm looking at the documentation for templates now; it's clear I need to learn more... —Immutetalk 17:15, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I wasn't talking about the documentation part, of course you wouldn't be able to see the changes there as until you press save, your changes don't actually exist to anyone but you. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 17:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * So how can I see my changes? (Also, someone other than I just had the great idea of adding alt-text to these labels!) —Immutetalk 17:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Like I said, unless the template in includeonly'd (in which case you just need to break the includeonly tag), you just have to give it something to parse. Now that the switch has a default, it'll always show [X] instead of just nothing. If you want the other switch options, you'd do it the same as what actually using the template does, so in this case, is the only input, so you'd feed what you'd normally put in the template to it, so for a it'd be , etc. – ultradude25  ( T &#124; C ) at 17:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Oh, no worries :) Didn't mean to complain. --31stCenturyMatt 17:29, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
