Just noticed what you have done with the Indexes at the top of the American Pipe Brands & Makers lists. WOW! This is fantastic! I love how that works so much. Turned a cumbersome process into a very accessible way to explore and search. And I see your expanding that to the lists for other countries too. Thank you for that excellent solution and doing all the work! sethile

I began to use templates which are incredibly helpful for this type of things. What I still try to figure out is how to implement note boxes as on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Note. Magna (talk)
I've been intending to make use of templates since the very early days of Pipedia, just never followed through with it! Super helpful to have you start in with them. I'll definitely try to follow your lead on that... The note boxes look really cool! Hopefully you get some clarity on how to implement those as well.
It's very helpful to have your help and expertise raising the bar a bit! Happy Holidays! I think I will resolve to learn templates and just generally get better with harnessing the potential of Mediawiki in 2023. I feel like I've only been scratching the surface ;) sethile
We are definitely only scratching the surface .. Mediawiki is such a huge application with so much features. But I think we only need some of these. My goal is to give the pages a somehow cleaner and more professional look. The information that has been gathered here is so valuable. Thank you for starting this project and I whish you a Happy Christmas! Magna (talk)

Parser Functions

We should have the Extension:ParserFunctions live now! Let me know if you have any problems. sethile (talk)

Great! I will give it a try .. maybe tomorrow ;) Magna (talk)
It works like a charm! (8-P)> Magna (talk)

Dunhill Page

Forgive me for using this "User Talk" field, but I don't have your email or any other way of contacting you. I see you've been making nice improvements on Dunhill's page and I'm happy for that. I see you deleted a lot of images today. Please, did you find something wrong? I'd be grateful if you'd give me the courtesy to communicate if you have to make any big changes.

Thank you. Greetings from Brazil. Yang: yang@forciori.com.br

Hi Yang! This "Talk"-Page is intended to be used for that! :)
Don't worry! I havn't deleted any files. I just renamed the images of the Dunhill catalog of 1951 so others won't overwrite them. This has happened quite often (e.g. have a look at https://pipedia.org/wiki/File:001.jpg). So in general it would be smart to avoid filenames that just consist of numbers. I just have prefixed the catalog images by a proper name (but missed the one usage you fixed). BTW: you can sign your comment using ~~~. Magna (talk)
That's nice, thank you for adjusting that.
In fact, those that did not receive names were automatically added by the batch tool (the ones that were added one by one have names and, yes sometimes it is difficult to add more than 100 images one by one, you know?). Looking at the page closely you will notice that "smart" was not only a guide but a principle. ;)
Thank you for your valuable tips. =T
