Hi, I'm finishing the page Complex number. Before this, the pages Imaginary unit and Gelfond's constant was done. Also, eπ and ee are irrational but none of them are known to be transcendental. 176.88.95.196 (talk) 09:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
I see from your recent edits at Dirac delta function and Common logarithm that you enclose systematically with ((nowrap)) a template ((math)) or ((mvar)) immediately followed by a punctuation sign. As far as I know, this is completely useless, as the parser treats as plain text the result of these templates, and, therefore, never split a line between them and punctuation marks (unless there is a space at the end of the content of the template).
I discovered this property of the Wikipedia parser with a similar rendering problem, the problem of formulas ending with a single brace: with "((math|{A))} is", the open and closing braces of set-builder notation are rendered in different fonts, because the closing brace is considered as being out of the template. "((math|{A} ))is" is rendered correctly, but the source looks strange. Surprisingly (for me), "((math|{A} )) is" is rendered correctly with only one space between the formula and "is", since the rule that several consecutive spaces are rendered as a single space applies here.
So, using ((nowrap)) as you did is not useful and makes the source harder to read. I have fixed this at Dirac delta function. Please, do the same in the other articles where you have added such ((nowrap)) templates. D.Lazard (talk) 14:30, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Please don't change math styling just for the sake of changing math styling, as you did in this edit: none of the available options for formatting mathematics on Wikipedia are ideal, and changing from one to the other is disruptive and tends to introduce errors. The specific guidelines for this are MOS:STYLERET (the general principle) and MOS:FORMULA (specific to math formulas). Thanks. --JBL (talk) 15:40, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Noted, I just tend to use mobile a lot and images have a harder time loading on data. Hellacioussatyr (talk) 15:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Also - please do not change my edit as you did here link - because the intention is to make the fonts the same to avoid confusing readers. If the formula has an italics lower case 'x' having a particular font, then the text that refers to that symbol should also be an italics 'x' with the same font style ---- not a different font style. Otherwise, you should change the 'x' in the formula in order to match the font. KorgBoy (talk) 12:14, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive edits. Math formatting does not need to be turned into templates. It is a disimprovement. It makes the formatting inconsistent. Template-math is uglier than math-math and doesn't format its variables in the same way. You are making the encyclopedia worse. Noting that you have been warned for this before and promised to stop but haven't. Stop. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:24, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Do not change ((block indent)) to use : for indentation in articles, as you did in Duality (mathematics). :-indentation is forbidden in articles, because it creates invalid html and creates problems for accessibility; see MOS:INDENT. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:28, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Please see en:Category:Pages that use a deprecated format of the math tags.--SilverMatsu (talk) 22:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Dear Editor User:Hellacioussatyr, am sure you are far cleverer than I am, and I don't know the current convention for deprecation of format. But I very much prefer inline format such as . My reason is that this format has just the same font as equations such as
Other formats have different fonts that definitely distract and might confuse a reader. I find your many format edits probably clever but certainly unhelpful and troublesome. I do not find loading on a particular device a good reason against this. I am sorry I don't have time to go through your edits and undo or revise most of them that I encounter.Chjoaygame (talk) 08:12, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Sorry about the above failure-to-parse response. It didn't show up on my preview. It just showed up when I published. I guess it may be due to some kind of nowiki or somesuch higher up on your page. I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps just deleting my comment would do the trick. Feel free; I don't want to mess up your talk page. But I do want you to read my message.Chjoaygame (talk) 08:20, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Hellacioussatyr,
I noticed a pattern that you change all <ul>
and <ol>
HTML style lists into *
and #
lists. I checked Wikipedia:Manual of style and I did notice any policy preferring *
and #
over HTML tags. Are you doing these changes to make articles compliant with some Wikipedia policy that I do not know about? (I'm asking because if your answer is yes then I would like to know this so that I can stop using HTML style lists.) Best wishes - Mgkrupa 21:21, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
*
and #
lists) Moreover, and actually what is the more important reason, it forces any :-indented <math> to be formatted using display="block", which is preferred due to accessibility reasons. I do still use HTML tagged lists in some pages where the situation requires more complex formatting; but for most cases that simply isn't necessary. Hellacioussatyr (talk) 21:28, 9 June 2021 (UTC)My understanding is that if using *
, then an :
indented <math>
expression would look something like this:
*Text
*:<math>z = \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} z_i</math>
:for all...
The equivalent using HTML tags is:
<ul>
<li>Text
:<math>z = \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} z_i</math>
for all...</li>
</ul>
I do not see a difference in how the :<math>
expression is display. They both appear to be displayed as blocks. Is this because of my browser or do you (or other people) see a difference? Mgkrupa 22:24, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
<math>
. Of course, I also have been indenting with colons in this very talk page, so the matter is complicated. More details are available here MOS:INDENTGAP. (However, note that ((block indent)) endorsed on the MOS page comes with its own issues, which is illustrated in earlier sections of this talk page.)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Inseparable differential equation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pearson. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi Hellacioussatyr, thanks for the accessibility adjustments you made to the page Dirac equation which I have been editing.
I wanted to ask about your removal of the collapsed proofs. This was a deliberate choice so that the proofs would not interrupt the narrative flow of the article and to declutter the page of technical details, while still including the details for an interested reader.
What were your reasons for removing the collapsibility? I'm a relatively new editor so I'm still learning the ropes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zephyr the west wind (talk • contribs) 17:42, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
MOS:COLLAPSE puts out the reasons for limiting use of collapsed content. In my experience, when viewing on a mobile screen there is no collapse option visible and it creates its own frame that has its own scrolling effects that can be difficult to navigate.

Hi Hellacioussatyr,
Just a heads up, since you've been recently replacing various formulas indented by :<math> by <math display=block> (for example), when you do that you need to add blank lines around the formula. Otherwise the mediawiki software generates incorrect markup, with the following text put into a bare text node not in a top-level block element. Cheers. –jacobolus (t) 17:16, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
I was trying to preserve the higher level : indent and not fragment the "list" even further. That is, all of them under the same semantic element. Did not know about this effect though. Thank you. Hellacioussatyr (talk) 17:21, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
<math display=block>
creates a "div" element. –jacobolus (t) 14:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
display="block"
on mobile screens, where if the formula doesn't fit it causes the whole thing to overflow and there is quite a large horizontal scroll space (?) (unsure of exact terminology), whereas display="block"
centers the image of the equation, and places it in its own element that can be scrolled horizontally independent of the rest of the page. You can take a look for yourself at [1] (current revision) and [2]. Actually, for this comparison even laptop screens might overflow because the formula is so wide.
