Template:Documentation is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should be proposed here first. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use ((edit template-protected)) to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories. Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

I recently added a bunch of Unicode data modules containing the names of ranges of code points, such as Module:Unicode data/names/000 (see a table listing all the name data modules at Module:Unicode data/doc § Data modules), based on the ones on Wiktionary. Ideally they should all have some text describing the range of code points that they apply to and be placed in Category:Unicode data modules. On Wiktionary the documentation of these modules is generated automatically by wikt:Module:documentation (so they do not have documentation pages). Could the same thing be done in Module:Documentation here on Wikipedia? I'm not very familiar with how the module works, and maybe it would be irregular to do it this way. I could also create a documentation template and add it to all the documentation pages of the modules. — Eru·tuon 21:00, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the CSS styling for this template is added in MediaWiki:Common.css based on the css class added by cfg['main-div-classes'] = 'template-documentation iezoomfix'. Rather than being specified in common.css, the css should be specified locally in the module. As seen in User:DannyS712/template sandbox 2, the current versions of the sandbox (Special:Permalink/905739909) and config sandbox (Special:Permalink/729280654) include the css locally within the template (demo: using safemode, sitewide css is ignored, but the css added by the module isn't) I propose that these changes be implemented:

• Change to module: [1] (without the first line that uses the sandbox config) (and potentially leaving the class, rather than replacing it)
• Change to config: [2]

This could be done without removing the html class currently used, even while removing the css from common.css, so as to remain compatable with current user scripts that may rely on the class. In time, it could be removed, but I see no hard in leaving it for now. Thoughts? --DannyS712 (talk) 17:58, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Given the lack of comments, in a few days (unless there are objections) I will: add the css code to the config, add it to the module while leaving the current class declaration in case it is used by scripts, and then request that it be removed from the common.css. --DannyS712 (talk) 19:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With no response I decided to remove it from here and try somewhere else.--WikimeSteve (talk) 17:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
