- @Sohom Datta, @Waddie96: This is now causing an awkward newline when templates are used without a leading bullet - see Clematis Brook station#External links for the example I happened to see. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:28, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- Let me look into it. Sorry about that waddie96 ★ (talk) 21:32, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
Fixed, let me just confirm with more testcases. But I don't know how I missed that! But I didn't wrap it in a parent container!!!! See example below comparing before and now waddie96 ★ (talk) 21:48, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
Hmm, I can't get it to replicate the behaviour from the article below, but when I test edited it on the article it shows the fix because it positions correctly.See comparison after fix below... It was a rookie error of no container.... Silly me! waddie96 ★ (talk) 21:53, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Here Fixed waddie96 ★ (talk) 21:58, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- Here
@Waddie96: Fix now applied. If you find that you have a bugfix that potentially affects tens or hundreds of thousands of pages, and no one is responding within hours, please ping a template editor or admin directly. — hike395 (talk) 23:40, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Hike395 Hmm sure. Thought the enacting person would be subscribed waddie96 ★ (talk) 00:19, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
- I have reverted the above changes due to Linter errors and undesirable line breaks. I have added relevant test cases to the /testcases page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:39, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
Use centralized logo generation?
[edit]The templates that use sister project logos are inconsistent: they don't do alt correctly, they use outdated logos, and some of them don't even obey the CC license. To remedy this, I've created Module:Sister project logo, which attempts to standardize the correct use of sister project logos. I've updated the sandbox to call this module. You can see the results in the test cases:
- For logos that are PD, link and alt are both blank (per MOS:BLANKALT)
- For logos that are CC licensed, the alt field has been updated to be descriptive (per the discussion at Template talk:Sister project)
- The skin-invert-image class has been added to the wiktionary logo, to make it work in dark mode.
- The mediawiki logo has been updated to the latest logo
- The wikibooks logo has been changed to not have text. This text was unreadable at 16x16: the logo is now clearer.
What do editors think? Should I make the sandbox go live? — hike395 (talk) 11:53, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- Done No response, so I went ahead and promoted to main. If anyone sees any issues, please let me know. — hike395 (talk) 00:34, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Hike395: Thanks for doing this. There does seem to be an error now where {{Commons category-inline}} displays the default Mediawiki logo instead of the Commons logo. I think it's something to do with the parameter "project=commonscat" in that template, but I'm not sure which template or module needs adjusted. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:31, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for reporting this! It was easily fixed (by editing Module:Sister project logo/data), mapping "commonscat" to 'c'. — hike395 (talk) 04:01, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Proposal to consolidate Wiktionary logo dark mode filter
[edit]There's a proposal to consolidate the dark mode filter for the Wiktionary logo into Module:Sister project logo, for all uses of the logo. If implemented, I would entirely remove the use of Template:Sister-inline/styles.css, since it is redundant. Feel free to comment on the other talk page. — hike395 (talk) 18:53, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
