Linjeskift

Hej!

Din bot har indsat en noinclude i {{km}}, men desværre også et linjeskift. Nu har jeg fikset det, men hvis botten har gjort det samme i andre skabeloner, skal du nok lige gå den efter. --Palnatoke (diskussion) 3. nov 2014, 11:19 (CET)

Tak – jeg ordner det. Mvh. Cgtdk (diskussion) 3. nov 2014, 11:23 (CET)

Software changes this week

• VisualEditor now tells you if you're editing a re-used reference. This helps you avoid changing it if you just want to add a new one. [52]
• The icons in VisualEditor's template editor tool for adding more fields are back, along with other fixes. [53] [54] [55] [56] [57]
• After November 6, all wikis will have the tool to edit TemplateData. [58] [59] [60]
