Template talk:MW version

Changes
I originally started out just to make a couple of small changes to the template, but have ended up re-writing a good bit of it. Since the changes wouldn't readily fit into the edit summary, I'm listing them here:


 * Fully converted to a table (previously there was an unusual inter-mixing of cells and bordered text.
 * Made cell padding consistent.
 * Moved optional revision to appear centered immediately below version number.
 * Removed comment area when no comment is present.
 * Removed redundant default value with which could never be used due to the outer #if statement.
 * Removed redundant category already present in /doc page.
 * Debatably made the logic easier to read.

Overall, I think this looks better, but if there are any concerns, please feel free to revert, change, or discuss...I'm easy! – RobinHood70 talk 19:37, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Link version number
Can we get this template to link the displayed version number to the release page for that version (e.g., MediaWiki 1.18)? The template is just a little too complicated for me to give it a try... Maybe later, if someone doesn't beat me to it. [g] - dcljr (talk) 08:09, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Get rid of tooltip
What relevance is it, on a page like API:Properties, to state that such-and-such version of MW is no longer supported? The tooltip is pointless and should be removed. This, that and the other (talk) 07:24, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Broken due to translation markup
/ The recent addition of translation markup appears to have broken many uses of this template in e.g. Help:Magic words. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 00:03, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅. Help:Magic words and Help:Patrolled edits should be marked for translation by a translation administrator. Thanks. --Shirayuki (talk) 00:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ - thank you Shirayuki for fixing and Tbayer (WMF) for catching that! --Varnent (talk)(COI) 16:21, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
