I initially created this simply the way we output errors in a centralized place, in case the way the MediaWiki parser function extension ever changes how it evaluates errors.

(Of course that's not always possible given the limitations of the template language, but at least one can try rather than produce incomprehensible output.) So this template is really great! But I wish I had known about it before.

(And I know any reply would probably start "er, it's called error, it's pretty obvious", but that's not the problem which is not "what does <span class="nowrap"><code>{{error}}</code></span> do?" but "what do I do to produce error output?"). <a href="/wiki/User:SimonTrew" title="User:SimonTrew">Si Trew</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SimonTrew" title="User talk:SimonTrew">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z-I_wish_this_was_more_widely_known" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:33, 29 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z-I_wish_this_was_more_widely_known"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z-I_wish_this_was_more_widely_known"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-SkyLined-2010-06-29T14:07:00.000Z-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z"></span>I know what you mean. I wrote this template to try and generalize all errors. As afar as I can tell not too many others have started using it, unfortunately. Another similar problem is that I frequently stumble upon multiple templates that do essentially the same thing.</dd> <dd>I think the best way to solve this, would be to have an up-to-date list of templates by category that includes name and a short description. I do not believe it will be easy to find somebody to create it and I think it will be even harder to maintain.</dd> <dd>One contributing factor to this wild growth of templates is that people copy templates from other languages and translate the names in various ways. So, you could end up with multiple copies of the same template (for example: "sizeof_string", "string_size", "char_count" and "string_length").</dd> <dd>Anyway, glad you like it :D — <a href="/wiki/User:SkyLined" title="User:SkyLined"><span style="font-family: monospace, monospace; color:#008000;">SkyLined</span></a> <small>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SkyLined" title="User talk:SkyLined">talk</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-SkyLined-2010-06-29T14:07:00.000Z-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SkyLined-2010-06-29T14:07:00.000Z-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SkyLined-2010-06-29T14:07:00.000Z-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T10:33:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-SimonTrew-2010-06-29T14:59:00.000Z-SkyLined-2010-06-29T14:07:00.000Z"></span>Yeah, it's not so much a question of my saying "how do I get it in red and so on", like I can do <code><span style="color:red"> ... </span></code> and all that, but I always have this feeling that somewhere, probably more than once, someone <i>must have done this already</i>, leading either to searching (usually with futility) a load of existing templates that <i>appear</i> to do something similar but are not coded to be reused.

Unfortunately, I haven't as much time as I used to, so unless somebody else can have a look, this message serves as a "note to self" in case I ever find myself less busy with other things. — <a href="/wiki/User:SkyLined" title="User:SkyLined"><span style="font-family: monospace, monospace; color:#008000;">SkyLined</span></a> <small>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SkyLined" title="User talk:SkyLined">talk</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-SkyLined-2010-09-02T14:51:00.000Z-Template:FormattingError" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SkyLined-2010-09-02T14:51:00.000Z-Template:FormattingError"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SkyLined-2010-09-02T14:51:00.000Z-Template:FormattingError"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Error_message_style_(guidelines)_available?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Error_message_style_(guidelines)_available?-2010-09-07T08:26:00.000Z"><span id="Error_message_style_.28guidelines.29_available.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Error_message_style_(guidelines)_available?-2010-09-07T08:26:00.000Z"></span>Error message style (guidelines) available?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Error_message_style_(guidelines)_available?-2010-09-07T08:26:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Error&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Error message style (guidelines) available?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DePiep-2010-09-07T08:26:00.000Z-Error_message_style_(guidelines)_available?"></span>Are there guidelines, styles or good examples for the message-text?

The script errors in the module unit tests are fine, as the template will not trigger them (it will either show <code>{{{1}}}</code> or whitespace, depending on whether 1 is specified). They might be helpful for other modules that use this module, though, so I'm going to avoid actually programming in <code>{{{1}}}</code> to the module code. :) It seemed like everything else was working, so I've updated the template. — <i><b><a href="/wiki/User:Mr._Stradivarius" title="User:Mr. Stradivarius"><span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span></a></b></i> <sup><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mr._Stradivarius" title="User talk:Mr. Stradivarius">♪ talk ♪</a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T13:37:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:54, 4 April 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T13:37:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T13:37:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z"></span>The error text stays hidden (instead, another error text is shown. ~btw, are errors listed (categorised) somewhere? -<a href="/wiki/User:DePiep" title="User:DePiep">DePiep</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:DePiep" title="User talk:DePiep">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-DePiep-2013-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:57, 4 April 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T13:54:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T14:02:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T13:37:00.000Z"></span>Note: again, the module still checks for these two arguments: <code>message = args.message or args[1] ...</code> while only one (unnamed param 1) exists.

I do agree coding that return text is undesired; at least is could be a blank.</dd> <dd>As a minor point: why not move the "message = nil" setting to the <code>_error</code> function, together with its next arg logic? -<a href="/wiki/User:DePiep" title="User:DePiep">DePiep</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:DePiep" title="User talk:DePiep">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T15:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:37, 4 April 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T15:18:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z-Mr._Stradivarius-2013-04-04T15:18:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T21:07:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z"></span>Since I cannot prove my point in the sandboxes, I rest my case. -<a href="/wiki/User:DePiep" title="User:DePiep">DePiep</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:DePiep" title="User talk:DePiep">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-DePiep-2013-04-04T21:07:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:07, 4 April 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T21:07:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DePiep-2013-04-04T21:07:00.000Z-DePiep-2013-04-04T20:37:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="I_pity_the_foo..." data-mw-thread-id="h-I_pity_the_foo...-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-I_pity_the_foo...-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z"></span>I pity the foo...<span data-mw-comment-end="h-I_pity_the_foo...-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Error&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: I pity the foo..."><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Foo_(disambiguation)" class="mw-disambig" title="Foo (disambiguation)"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-50.64.119.38-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z-I_pity_the_foo..."></span>Foo</a> might not be the best example for an unrecognized word in the usage section. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/50.64.119.38" title="Special:Contributions/50.64.119.38">50.64.119.38</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:50.64.119.38" title="User talk:50.64.119.38">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Error#c-50.64.119.38-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z-I_pity_the_foo..." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:52, 20 September 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-50.64.119.38-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z-I_pity_the_foo..."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-50.64.119.38-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z-I_pity_the_foo..."></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Wbm1058-2017-09-20T22:02:00.000Z-50.64.119.38-2017-09-20T19:52:00.000Z"></span>There are only a few words that are recognized in mathematical expressions.
