Angry smiley

Can we please have a smiley for "angry". Suggest File:Face-angry red.png is a good one. Mjroots (talk) 09:30, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Done.

Publicity for this template?

I was just looking to create one of these for myself and I'm glad to see someone has already done the work, maybe this should be more commonly known somehow? Egg Centric 07:39, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Would be great to have a thumps up or thumps down Egg Centric 07:40, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

How about one with the smiley face person doing a "V"- peace sign?

Combine templates?

Is there any reason not to combine these templates into one. It would certainly make finding just the right smiley a little easier and also create a consistent syntax?

These are the template that think should be combined:

• {{Smiley}}
• {{Smiley2}}
• {{Oldsmiley}}
• {{Sert}}

All thoughts are welcome. - MrX 15:08, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

@MrX: As it is, I don't see the harm in having several templates. They may share similar moods/parameters (wink, raspberry, angry, sad, etc.), but the smileys themselves are different (compare, for instance, these three set to "sad": {{smiley|sad}} ; {{smiley2|sad}} ; {{sert|sad}} or these three set to "tongue": {{smiley|tongue}} ; {{smiley2|tongue}} ; {{oldsmiley|tongue}} ); which allows for editors to choose between them if they have a preference. And if we managed to combine the options from all four templates into one, wouldn't that make it more cumbersome to use as well as upset the appearance of smileys already placed on pages across Wikipedia? benzband (talk) 16:17, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

OK, it probably was not a great idea to combine them after all. - MrX 00:44, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Change the redirect ("p"/"P") to this template..?

Hello. I'm thinking that a template {{p}} as a (more standardized, less garbled-looking and easier) means to render page numbers (mostly within <ref>s, e.g. "p. 1") might be worthwhile. (So, too, might {{pp}}, etc.) If so, this would mean this template {{Smiley}} would need a different redirect. Would that be acceptable..? Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:13, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

There are four other redirects to this template: {{(:}}, {{(-:}}, {{-)}} and {{=)}}. The documentation could be updated to refer to one of these instead. However, there are approximately 900 transclusions of {{P}}, which a bot would need to change. Be aware that the redirect is in active use and a lot of people would be surprised by a change. - PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 21:17, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposal to change template for Wikidata

Wikidata uses two concepts repeatedly, P and Q. Template:Q makes a link to Wikidata items. Template:P currently redirects to Template:Smiley, but could go to Wikidata properties. Since the concept of P is so fundamental to Wikidata, and since the current P redirect to smiley is only used about 1500 times, I propose to take over Template:P for Wikidata. Any objections? See Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:P for usage. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:27, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Test...

New Description parameter wanted

By default, if I use the smile emoticon, hovering over it displays the words 'smiling face', but I might want to change this to things like Smile, LOL, LMAO, Thanks, I love it, You cannot be serious (provided that's not being used as a Personal Attack), Oops - how foolish of me, or something in the native language of the editor I'm talking to, and so on. So what would be nice is to add a new 'desc=' parameter that defaults to what we currently display but can be entered by us (perhaps including some documented 'no words' option (such as two or more blank spaces), as no words would normally give the default).Tlhslobus (talk) 06:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

(PS: If this suggestion is in the wrong place, please let me know where the right place is). Tlhslobus (talk) 06:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I've now created the new section below using the 'Submit an edit request' button in the 'View Code' part of this template's Template page, but, as indicated below, I'm not sure that my edit has been successfully submitted, nor where to report this apparent problem.

Template-protected edit request on 14 December 2017

By default, if I use the smile emoticon, hovering over it displays the words 'smiling face', but I might want to change this to things like Smile, LOL, LMAO, Thanks, I love it, You cannot be serious (provided that's not being used as a Personal Attack), Oops - how foolish of me, or something in the native language of the editor I'm talking to, and so on. So what would be nice is to add a new 'desc=' (or 'display=', or whatever) parameter that defaults to what we currently display but can be entered by us (perhaps including some documented 'no words' option (such as two or more blank spaces), as no words would normally give the default).

Note 1: I have no reason to expect this to be controversial, tho I guess it's always possible that I'm mistaken. Tlhslobus (talk) 06:56, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Note 2: I had to add the above description manually, as it did not appear when I submitted it by the recommended procedure (which also had the same effect in the Preview second time around), so I don't know whether the request will be ignored, nor where to report this apparent problem.Tlhslobus (talk) 06:56, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't see it as being exactly controversial. But since it's a material change, let's let it sit for a few days just to make sure nobody has a problem with it. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:56, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

The "canonical" parameter name for changing tooltips (the title HTML attribute) would be |title=. The request seems completely non-controversial, since it would greatly improve the functionality of the template for essentially no overhead (indeed, using the parameter would skip the entire first switch test if implemented properly). The only issue is sandboxing it and doing some tests to make sure the safesubst stuff is implemented properly; we want the output to be clean regardless what parameters people use. -- SMcCandlish ? ¢ >^???_??^?< 22:16, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Not done Doesn't seem to be any "content" type objection, however you will need to sandbox this and prepare the exact code you want changed, then reactivate this request. -- xaosflux ^Talk 01:01, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

• 1) Thanks for your reply, xaosflux.
• 2) However based on my few previous Template changes, and given that it's the holiday season, it may (or may not) well be sometime in January before I even find out whether I have or can acquire the necessary skills to make the sandbox change myself unassisted (always assuming I haven't simply lost interest by then, and/or in practice felt forced to spend my time on other things, as is obviously already the case right now).

• 2b) So, although I might well enjoy the challenge and the learning process, it might greatly speed things up if somebody else with far greater relevant experience were to try to make the change right away.

• 3) Also, on a related but separate point, where should I (or anybody else) report the apparent problem that I encountered with our system producing a blank change description here, as already mentioned by me in my Note 2 above?
• 4) Regards, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Tlhslobus (talk) 11:08, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

• (2) Really anyone who wants to work this up can, if they are not a template editor once worked up, reactivate this and someone patrolling the requests will get to it. (3) When you Clicked "View Source" then "request an edit" did you end up on THIS page, or something else? You can report with details that to WP:VPT. -- xaosflux ^Talk 12:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks.Tlhslobus (talk) 13:54, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

And the reported problem with edit requests has now been fixed (see here).Tlhslobus (talk) 12:35, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
