Improved Template:Languages
User:PureMisery/Template:Languages
Pros
- Improved alignment and margins of the layout.
- Optimized the CSS styles and the HTML output.
- Usage of
<bdi>tags prevents some hypothetical multilanguage problems. - Added additional default empty values for parameters.
- Localizated the
Language:string.
Cons
Additional testing should be performed.
Remarks
I don't understand the point of creating external links with uselang property. Since there is not enough localized pages, the mediawiki interface language just keeps changing back and forth to English.
I think it would be beneficial to use wikilinks. Internal links don't open new windows, the URLs are prettier and self-links appears as bold text.
Usage of TOC templates
The abomination below should be replaced with {{TOC right}}.
<div style="float:right;">
{|style="margin:0px 0px 5px 10px;"
|__TOC__
|}
</div>
{{TOCright}} is too obsolete and should NOT be used. Thankfully it appears only on a few standard MediaWiki pages.
By the way, __TOC__ isn't supposed to be placed in a table. Otherwise it get swollen due to the border-spacing table property and the display: table-cell property of the .tocnumber, .toctext classes.
