Subst

Why this template should always be used with subst: ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:e35:8a8d:fe80:dc2a:4cc2:f69c:9e36 (talk) 15:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting issue that's bothering me.

There is something about this template that is causing the text immediately following it on the same line to end up in a <code>-style box. This happens whether it is transcluded or substituted.

Examples:

{{WikiThanks}} Some text that follows. produces

Thank you Some text that follows.

While {{subst:WikiThanks}} Some text that follows. produces

Thank you

Some text that follows.

This does not seem to happen if a newline (<br />) is inserted immediately after the template. Examples:

{{WikiThanks}}<br/> Some text that follows. produces

Thank you
Some text that follows.

and {{subst:WikiThanks}}<br/> Some text that follows. produces

Thank you
Some text that follows.

I don't know if it's an issue with the template or something else. But it's a minor thing that's seriously bugging me. --talk2Chun^{(talk) (contributions)} 20:43, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the issue has now been fixed. If it is fixed, the following text {{subst:WikiThanks}} Some text that follows. should produce

Thank you Some text that follows. --talk2Chun^{(talk) (contributions)} 14:33, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Talk2chun: Yep, I fixed it with this edit - a simple case of removing a newline that had been incorrectly added by M.O.X (talk · contribs) with this edit in 2010. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:40, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Redrose64. You've made a WP editor (i.e. me) significantly happier with this fix. --talk2Chun^{(talk) (contributions)} 21:51, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should the sunflower be replaced since it's the old mediawiki sunflower?

This template uses the old mediawiki sunflower image which is both raster and doesn't reflect the current Mediawiki logo, compared to which is vector and would likely fit as an update to this template. Example below...

Template-protected edit request, January 27, 2026

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Per my edit requests to related templates (one here), this template could also use a wrapping fix. I've also removed this strange undocumented parameter |icon=, which seems to require full image markup as input to do its job. (Why even use a template at that point?) I looked through this search result, and there appear to be no transclusions that use this parameter. Let me know if you have any questions!

{{{icon|[[File:Tournesol.png|{{{size|33px}}}|alt=🌻]] }}}<!-- Template:WikiThanks -->{{{1|Thank you}}}

<span class="nowrap">[[File:Tournesol.png|{{{size|33px}}}|alt=]] {{{1|Thank you}}}</span><!-- Template:WikiThanks -->
