Template talk:Pin section

Line breaking

I just introduced a parameter for this template allowing pinning for temporary periods of time. It displays the end date in the message box. However, when I turn on a custom time display in my user preferences, the line breaking gets a bit weird. I assume this is because of too many non-breaking spaces implemented in the custom time display preference software, so if anyone wants to address this, that's probably the place to look (I think?).

Suppressing display in archives

It might make sense to suppress the display of this template when a section is archived. I'm not sure how to do that, though. Would someone else be able to test this out in the template's sandbox? DesertPipeline (talk) 11:09, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Parameters added by Sdkb

@Sdkb: Parameters were added in . Template:Pin_section/doc explicitly says "There are intentionally no parameters." Either the doc should be updated or this should be undone.

Additionally, |2= is passed to {{Pin message}} but this template perhaps mistakenly isn't passing it to {{DNAU}}. 174.89.12.36 (talk) 03:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this, IP! Looking at the revision history, it appears that I added documentation when I made the change, but it was a casualty of JzG's accidental mass-rollback which was never properly cleaned up. I've restored it now. Sdkb ^talk 04:10, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Stray code

Do other users see at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#ChristieBot error reporting -- where to look the stray code "{{subst:DNAU|{{{1}}}}"? CMD (talk) 02:42, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

That was because the person who originally inserted it forgot to substitute it. It's fixed now since a bot did it automatically. That incorrect text appears if you use the template without substituting it, since it wasn't designed for that case. Aidan9382 _(talk) 09:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Ah thanks, explains it. CMD (talk) 09:47, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
