Talk:Snippets/LQT Archive 1

(Sub-) Page for each snippet?
As the list of snippets is growing I would suggest giving each snippet its own (sub-) page for providing a talk space for a more targeted discussion on each snippet. --Nakohdo 08:58, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support If and when we do this we might as well move it to "Snippets" or "Code snippets" at the same time since "jQuery" may be too specific (ie. sometimes a one-line JavaScript without using jQuery functions works fine, or perhaps a CSS-only trick).
 * This would also allow better searching as the name of the snippet will then be in the page title and thus searchwhat=title&prefix=Code_snippets can be used. Krinkle 11:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds fairly reasonable. I'm not sure if "code snippets" is too generic or not. There are two ways to go, maybe: "JavaScript snippets" or "Code snippets/PHP/Foo" / "Code snippets/JavaScript/Foo". Maybe I'm overthinking this, but a more generic title might lead to more generic content... not sure if that's a feature or a bug. --MZMcBride 02:00, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It should be limited to front-end development. Anything that can run from site scripts, user scripts and gadgets.
 * Unless we use categories. Which allows some snippets to be put in "CSS" as well as "JavaScript" and other under "PHP".
 * Because of linking to this page from other wikis it's important to try to move it only once and for all. Krinkle 02:11, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅. Moved to Snippets, created Template:Snippet and Category:Snippets (and subcategories) Krinkle 21:30, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Snippet to hide "Snippets/" from link names on Snippets category pages
This snippet makes the links on Category:All snippets et al. a bit more readable:

 * This is similar to the following script from pt.wikibooks: b:pt:MediaWiki:Gadget-Títulos simples.js. Helder 16:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link. I suppose we will stumble across many re-invented wheels as this list will grow over time ;-) --Nakohdo 18:18, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's a different version a bit like the prefixindex-snippet, without calling  and   twice


 * Thanks again. Krinkle 18:32, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


 * and  don't need to be called either.   can find all links within a table within an element with an id attribute set to mw-pages.   can be used to set the text for all matched elements. That is why text can take a function with index and value passed. Here's a version that takes that into account:
