Default behavior
[edit]Shouldn't it default to something like {{PAGENAME}}/styles.css if no param is specced? jp×g🗯️ 23:01, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- This was implemented in Special:Diff/1093428599/1234206479 by User:Pppery.
- A side-effect of this change is how the template without parameters is shown on /sandbox pages. E.g. transclusion of
{{uses templatestyles}}on Template:Wiktionary redirect links to both Template:Wiktionary redirect/styles.css and its sandbox version Template:Wiktionary redirect/sandbox/styles.css, but on Template:Wiktionary redirect/sandbox it only links to the latter. - Perhaps the line
prefixed = prefixed:gsub("/doc","")should be expanded to remove/sandboxfrom the string as well? —andrybak (talk) 03:56, 24 November 2025 (UTC)- Honestly that behavior seems correct as-is to me. The sandbox links to the sandbox CSS, as that's the CSS the sandbox normally uses. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:57, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- True. Let's leave it then. —andrybak (talk) 07:48, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Remove Module:TNT on my own wiki?
[edit]
I've copied this template into my own MediqWiki install. I'm not publishing in any language other than English and I don't really want to install the JsonConfig extension, so I need to remove the call to Module:TNT so that it will work on my wiki. Can anyone tell me what I need to change in order to do this? Thanks. Redheadkelly (talk) 21:02, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

- @Pppery: Per my comment at Template talk:Uses TemplateStyles -- I momentarily forgot this was a module and not a template so the "quick fix" would not be doable by me -- wouldn't it be somewhat smarter to give a default val of
{{PAGENAME}}/styles.cssif this was called with no param? jp×g🗯️ 23:02, 6 July 2024 (UTC)- Makes some sense. Done. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Discussion on use of this template outside of template space
[edit]There is a discussion on the use of this template outside of template and module space, and more generally, the use of */styles.css pages in namespaces other than template and module space. Your feedback would be appreciated at
