Customization instructions

Template:Also To add custom entries, adapt this code, and place it in your common.js:

// Add custom Character Inserter entries
window.charinsertCustom = { 
	"Insert": ' Mention: {\{u|+}}  {\{ping|+}}', 
	"Wiki markup": ' Mention: {\{u|+}}  {\{ping|+}}' 
};

that will append the {{u}} and {{ping}} code to the indicated menus.

• Note1: The "+" in those items, is where your cursor will appear after the text is inserted, or if you already have text highlighted when you click them then that text will be properly surrounded by the templates.
• Note2: You can also remove or change the word "Mention:" - anything that is followed by a colon seems to get turned into a heading - Use_underscores_for_multi_word_headings: like so.
• Note3: use a dot ( . ) for any spacing needed in such things as inline css class or id assignments. For example. -- the space needed between the words span and class in <span.class="plainlinks">+</span>
• Note4: to include a single literal \ use four backslashes ( \\\\ ) (will appear as double-\ on menu display.) E.g. <math>\\\\scriptstyle{+}</math>.

Interface-protected edit request on 4 April 2019

Template:Edit interface-protected Please replace line 46 with

            'IPA (English)': 'ˈ ˌ  ŋ ɡ tʃ dʒ ʃ ʒ θ ð ʔ  ɑː ɒ æ aɪ aʊ ɛ ɛər+ eɪ ɪ ɪər+ iː ɔː ɔɪ oʊ ʊ ʊər+ uː ʌ ɜːr+  ə ər  ɒ̃ æ̃  {\{IPAc-en|+}} {\{IPA|+}} {\{angle.bracket|+}}',

per recent changes made to Help:IPA/English (see Help talk:IPA/English/Archive 17#Inconsistency in length marks and Help talk:IPA/English/Archive 21#RfC: Proposed deprecation of /ᵻ, ᵿ/), and the fact that {{IPA-en}} has no use in the main namespace any longer (compare Special:Search/hastemplate:IPAc-en vs. Special:Search/hastemplate:IPA-en).

Nardog, can you format that in the style as currently used in the source esp. with the nbsp's etc ? It's a bit difficult to figure out what has changed here for me otherwise... —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:44, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:Re I honestly don't know what you mean by that, but here's the diff of the proposed change, if that helps. Nardog (talk) 13:13, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Nardog - I've made the change requested (see the diff here). Take a look and verify that everything looks correct, and let me know. If something is incorrect, please let me know immediately. :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:10, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:Re Thanks, it's working properly for me. Nardog (talk) 18:13, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Nardog - Great! Thanks for letting me know. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:14, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Replace with something else when editing code

When a user is editing a Lua module or a templatestyles page, the normal edittools aren't particularly useful. What do people think of replacing it with a simple "cheatsheet" for the relevant programming languages, when such a page is being edited? --Yair rand (talk) 22:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

ſ

I missed long s from the Latin characters list. It can be handy when quoting old texts. Please consider including it. Thanks to the customization instructions, I was able to do it for myself. --Error (talk) 11:32, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
