Essay: Delete the Main Page

It appears that your Essay, viz., Wikipedia:Delete the main page, has been deleted. Aside from the irony therewith—which is hopefully not lost on anyone reading this—I was also disappointed to see that I couldn't read it for myself.

I hope you saved a backup somewhere off of Wikipedia. OzzyMuffin238 (talk) 05:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Ah, thank you for letting me know. I was umming and erring over whether or not to publish it, but seeing as someone else likes it, I'll ask for it to be undeleted and I'll publish it.—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 11:52, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Your essay, "Delete the main page"

I just wanted to notify you that your essay "Wikipedia:Delete the main page" has been moved into project space.

After your draft got undeleted, I saw it, and thought it was suitable for creation. So I submitted it on Articles for Creation. It got accepted, and now it's an actual project page now!

Probably should've notified you of this earlier, sorry. ApexParagon (talk) 06:59, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, thank you very much! I still need to do a bit of work on it, but thank you for publishing it.—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 12:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Your edit to "Rose of Sharon"

Greetings and felicitations. Your edit to "Rose of Sharon" broke three of the Lang templates, and I don't know how to fix the problem satisfactorily. Would you please be so kind as to take a look? —DocWatson42 (talk) 05:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Huh. What I did there was place text that was already in the template {{Script/Hebrew}} – which doesn't encode language information afaik, and just works to display diacritics and other markings slightly better – in the {{lang}} template, using the ISO language code for Biblical Hebrew, hbo.

Where it says 'invalid parameter 3', this is probably because the {{lang}} template alone doesn't support a transliteration parameter. Not entirely sure how I forgot this, to be honest; it's never had a transliteration parameter.

It used to be the case that changing {{lang|hbo| to {{lang-hbo| fixed this (displaying as "Biblical Hebrew: [Hebrew content], romanized: [transliteration]"), as this template had a transliteration parameter, and you could add the parameter |label=none after the text if you didn't want to repeat the language label. However, in recent times all the lang-[ISO code] templates seem to have been rolled into the template {{langx}}, which does the exact same thing.

In any case, simply changing the {{lang|hbo portion to {{langx|hbo should fix this. It should display like this:

Biblical Hebrew: חבצלת השרון‎, romanized: ḥăḇaṣṣeleṯ haššārōn

Thanks for letting me know. I hope this fixes it!—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 13:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
