Too wide above side bars

If possible, please fix this so that it is only as wide as the template it is above. It's causing trouble on some pages where it displays above a side bar. If there is already a setting for this, please make that easier to find in the instructions. Late Night Coffee ☕ (talk) 09:56, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Could you give an example page or two? Primefac (talk) 10:15, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Someone on the help desk showed me how to fix it using "type=sidebar" and it worked. Late Night Coffee (talk) 16:05, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Good to hear. Primefac (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

It's fairly obvious in the instructions too, I just didn't read very carefully. Late Night Coffee (talk) 16:06, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Template:Tfm → Template:Template for merging – This template is a holdout to the general trend (i.e. WP:TPN) towards expanding template names for clarity (see e.g. {{afd}}, {{mfd}}, {{cfd}}, even {{tfd}}). The primary argument made in 2016 was essentially "{{subst:tfm}} was how everyone used the template, so why change?" but the shortcut will still work after moving the page. However, because of that discussion in 2016 I feel like moving it now unilaterally would be problematic, even though consensus on the matter appears to have changed over the last ten years.

• Support easier to understand, I woudn't know what "Tfm" means and the old title will still be a redirect so people can still use this title. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:33, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
