Topic on User talk:Magnus Manske

Hi Magnus, is it possible to generate templates without table code (I mean start & end of the table)? You can see here the example with templates, where table code is unnecessary, because template already have table code inside.

So the "Monument" template there generates a new table for every entry? Because Listeria will create one row/template call for reach result.

The problem with the row template is that the number of columns doesn't necessarily match the ones defined by the bot. This is why I generally avoided using it.

commons:User:Lockal/Paintings_by_Jacob_van_Ruisdael works with divs.

If we want to match the layout of lv:Valsts aizsargājamie kultūras pieminekļi Aglonas novadā a solution with divs could work.

That Commons page currently hides the headers using CSS, an option to not include the headers seems like it would be useful there too.

The row template (Commons:Template:Wikidata list/Gallery) closes the table tag as well.

Hi Magnus, you are right, the "Monument" template generates a new table for every entry, but Jura1 is correct too about the number of columns. I hope I will have real data in week or two, than I will return with questions or proposals. Thank you all for ideas.

Now using the proposed "skip_table" parameter to suppress the table header/footer. Example diff, updated documentation.

A table_headerrow_template parameter could be handy as well.

How about row_wrapper_template, to get around the need of having a footer (table close) template as well? Rows would all be passed as $1, like {{wrapper|{{row}}{{row}}{{row}}}}

I think the source might be easier to read if the wrapper doesn't span across most of the page.

Personally I'd use something like this.

Hi Magnus, thank you so much!

Well here is a real list, generated by bot: Example. The list looks OK in general. Surely it has technology issues - it is too hard to edit the items and create new items in these lists now, so WLM community will prefer to work with original lists, as well as simpler issues - for example I can't group monuments in the same way as it was done in original list. But it is my project issues, the bot works perfectly --Voll (talk) 19:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
