Template talk:Ec

can someone please a) remove the parameter and then b) run a bot to go through and subst: the inclusions? - Y0_ ich_halt  15:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Why and why? (just curious) --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|16px|]] Brains12 \ talk 15:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * style and server. also, to indicate the number of ecs we've been adding x2 all the time and ddn't have any problems with it :P - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 17:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Improving it doesn't mean you have to be fixing something broken :P. I'm sure we didn't complain when we wrote out edit conflict ourselves, but this template just made it easier. Just as we may not have complained that we had problems with x2, the parameter improved the template. You don't even have to use it, just let it stay as  or, if you really want, x2. The parameter is helpful, in my opinion.
 * I don't mind if existing usages of it are substed, but I like using it without subst -- the whole point of this template is to show an edit conflict as easily as possible. Having to type out would be more than (ec) or (edit conflict). --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|16px|]] Brains12 \ talk 18:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ya, I'm not a big fan of the parameter also. It just appeared one day and I was like "Huh? What's the point?". As for the bot run, why does it matter if it's subst? When it's not subst, it makes the page easier to read when looking at the raw text. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  貢  23:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * because raw text always strains server less than a template inclusion. and the parameter makes this raw text unneccessarily long, because subst: of course also keeps it. - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 09:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * After a lot testing with substitution, the only solution I found was using a second template (or using ec) for substitution. Otherwise it was not possible to provide a template with both functions (include and substitution) where the substituted code was without any parser functions. So for substituting, use ecs now. poke | talk 11:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict x4) (test) - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 12:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * nice work :) - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 12:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really.. I would like to have one solution for both :P (wtb tag :P) poke | talk 12:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * especially since now it's even more stuff to type >.> i'd request a button be added to the format help button bar. - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 12:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * more stuff to type?  instead of  ? :P poke | talk 14:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict) <- test - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 15:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * if i use subst:ec it's even longer than before, so i have to type  to effectively reduce length. - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 15:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * is there a way to make it be substed with or without parameter? - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px]] 16:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That's why I created the ecs version ;) And no there is no auto-subst thing. poke | talk 17:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
