User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (20/03/2021)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (20/03/2021) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP), as of March 20th 2021.

Due to circumstances at present, both on and off the wiki, these notes will not be particularly well sorted for now.

Inter-Wiki Stuff
As you may have seen in Discuss or been notified via Announcements, one week ago TyA made a thread to draw attention to a two-week quality-of-life bug fixing project being carried out at Community Central.

On the subject of fixing problems, some of the issues with image thumbnails (such as the wrong ones being displayed) in articles, on category pages and in the 'Popular Pages' sidebar have been addressed. The images used for wiki articles on Fan Feed doesn't appear to have been adjusted yet.

There was also the site-wide Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy, which made me a bit concerned, seeing as I only discovered it about a month after it was announced, with it to go into effect on April 1st and only a short time to make any necessary changes, but Herald and OH&S assured me that things would be OK. Still, the Manual of Styles and Policies have been due for a cleanup for a while (and previous plans for it on my part have stalled like most of the others).

Hlist Hover Text Problem
During tweaks to some of the newer infoboxes, a template/code incompatibility problem was found concerning Template:Hlist.
 * Hlist is used to produce a horizontal list divided by dots (e.g. Dream Ranker Arc • Jailbreaker Arc • First Year Arc)
 * In the example case, Dream Ranker Arc · Jailbreaker Arc · First Year Arc, produces: Dream Ranker Arc · Jailbreaker Arc · First Year Arc
 * It also works when superscript text is placed after the entries. For example; A which produces A. In that case, for Level Upper Arc • Big Spider ArcA • Poltergeist ArcA • Sisters Arc which produces Level Upper Arc • Big Spider ArcA • Poltergeist ArcA • Sisters Arc, Level Upper Arc · Big Spider ArcA · Poltergeist ArcA · Sisters Arc produces Level Upper Arc · Big Spider ArcA · Poltergeist ArcA · Sisters Arc.
 * A problem occurs though when using span code to display text when the cursor is hovered over existing text. For example, A, which produces A , or †  , which produces †.
 * For example, manual example Level Upper Arc • Big Spider Arc A • Poltergeist Arc A • Sisters Arc, which displays as; Level Upper Arc • Big Spider Arc A • Poltergeist Arc A • Sisters Arc.
 * When using Hlist ( Level Upper Arc · Big Spider Arc A · Poltergeist Arc A · Sisters Arc ), this happens instead: Level Upper Arc · Big Spider Arc A · Poltergeist Arc A · Sisters Arc.
 * Without the superscript: Level Upper Arc · Big Spider Arc A · Poltergeist Arc A · Sisters Arc
 * For example, manual example Toaru Majutsu no Index Struggle Battle † • Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Puzzle † • Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Puzzdex † • Dengeki Bunko: Crossing Void • Toaru Majutsu no Index (MMO) • Toaru Majutsu no Index: Imaginary Fest • Toaru Kagaku no Railgun: Spectrum Story, which displays as; Toaru Majutsu no Index Struggle Battle † • Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Puzzle † • Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Puzzdex † • Dengeki Bunko: Crossing Void • Toaru Majutsu no Index (MMO) • Toaru Majutsu no Index: Imaginary Fest • Toaru Kagaku no Railgun: Spectrum Story.
 * When using Hlist ( Toaru Majutsu no Index Struggle Battle † · Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Puzzle † · Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Puzzdex † · Dengeki Bunko: Crossing Void · Toaru Majutsu no Index (MMO) · Toaru Majutsu no Index: Imaginary Fest · Toaru Kagaku no Railgun: Spectrum Story ), this happens instead: Toaru Majutsu no Index Struggle Battle † · Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Puzzle † · Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Puzzdex † · Dengeki Bunko: Crossing Void · Toaru Majutsu no Index (MMO) · Toaru Majutsu no Index: Imaginary Fest · Toaru Kagaku no Railgun: Spectrum Story.
 * Without the superscript: Toaru Majutsu no Index Struggle Battle † · Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Puzzle † · Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Puzzdex † · Dengeki Bunko: Crossing Void · Toaru Majutsu no Index (MMO) · Toaru Majutsu no Index: Imaginary Fest · Toaru Kagaku no Railgun: Spectrum Story.
 * As can be seen, the items with the hover text are omitted from the list.

In light of this, Ollerus reverted the horizonal dot lists in the navbox which had hover text items from Hlist back to the manual layout (along with all the other ones in the navboxes - whether this was due to a miscommunication on my part or another factor, I am not sure).

Template:Unbulleted list also seems to have the same problem.
