Discussion About Old Bug in 'Separator' Template Originally Placed Mistakenly in Page Header

Apparently Template:Separator doesn't handle WikiText well. I ran into some problems with it when working on adding a parameter to Template:Part. Apparently it chokes if there aren't spaces around the WikiML tags. I've worked around this in Template:Part but it still might need to be noted here. -- ShadowWolf 13:48, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

Could you provide an example of something it breaks on? The following all work fine without any spaces:

 Bold

apparently a problem in Template:Part itself. Doesn't matter now that {{part}} has been deprecated. - ShadowWolf 21:47, 11 August 2007 (EDT)

In other news... I'd like to add {{title}} and {{info}} here but I suck at explaining things in an easy to comprehend manner. (Witness the documentation provided with any template I've put toqether) If anyone wants to do this… — ShadowWolf 21:47, 11 August 2007 (EDT)

Story universe template

I changed the example of the {{Universe}} template on this page to something that wouldn't create needless pages on the Special:WantedPages list, but I can see how an example using "{{Universe|Universe Name}}" would be more descriptive than one using "{{Universe|Xanadu}}". If anyone believes that this example would be better the way it used to be, feel free to change it back! - RunsWithFurs 00:46, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Because it's meant as an example page, that change doesn't work well. Also... the {{Universe}} template doesn't just add that little float (or shouldn't - don't know if the change I made to it survived the crash) - it adds a semantic property. Don't need that on a Help: page :) -- ShadowWolf 17:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Makes sense. I was concerned (needlessly) about that page being placed on the list. I'll just be ignoring that entry, now. - RunsWithFurs 22:45, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Template Importing?

I've already asked this here, but I just wanted to repeat it here in case nobody looks at the page containing that thread very often: can somebody import Wikipedia's 'In5' template to Shifti for me? I'd like to be able to use it in order to properly indent the paragraphs of a story I'm working on.

Never mind, I just created a new template. — RandomDSdevel (talk) 19:19, 9 February 2015 (EST)

Should that new template be documented here, though? — RandomDSdevel (talk) 18:57, 27 February 2015 (EST)
