Strad, the folks at the museum where I'm the WIR have asked how to add a field — Executive Director — to {{Infobox museum}}, but I'm clueless on the topic. Can you give me the just-the-part-you-need-to-know version of how to do that? Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 00:29, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TransporterMan: Sure. :) That would be something like this: add a new label, add the parameter, and then renumber all the parameters below. The sandbox version I made adds both an |executive director= and an |executive_director= parameter. You should probably ask if it's ok on the talk page before adding it, and if you do add it don't forget to update the template docs.

Thanks, Strad. I didn't know if changing the label numbers on the following items would mess something up, but I now see how you've done it. I appreciate the help and hope all is well with you. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:06, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Your recent edit to {{Unbulleted list}} has, I think, made it display with bullet dividers, not newlines, between the items; in its present from it seems to be superfluous to {{Hlist}}. I imagine that's not what was intended? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:09, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: Hi there. :) I think you might have misread the revision history - my last edits to Template:Unbulleted list and Module:List were both in 2014. Where are you seeing this bullet divider/newline problem? Maybe I can work out what's going on. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 00:26, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, so I did – so sorry to have troubled you for nothing! Where I'm seeing it is in the infobox at Geometry of Fear, and it looks as if it's a bug feature of {{Infobox art movement}}. I'll ask at the village pump or something. Sorry again, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: Yes, that's caused by all the lines that look like | class1 = hlist in {{Infobox art movement}}. It adds the hlist class to the <th> and <td> cells in the infobox. The hlist class is defined in MediaWiki:Common.css, and is what makes all the {{hlist}} templates output horizontal lists. (Without the CSS, they would all just display in the default list style, which has each bullet on a separate line.) — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 02:27, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to this discussion at

Ah, so you two have met. This IP address belongs to a person Codename Lisa and I call "flyboy". He has been

WP:ANI

but Codename Lisa reverted him. He didn't dare stage an edit war there, because if admins investigate him, things are revealed that are not to his advantage, especially since Codename Lisa and I are keeping a list of all his IPs with which he has operated so far.

But of course, the reason he has chosen you as the recipient of this message is that you are considered Codename Lisa's friend (rightly or wrongly). What's better than sowing discord between friends? Divide and conquer, you know. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 11:22, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
