#
[tantek] ^ gRegor, why the static inclusion of template contents rather than dynamic template usage there?
[Jo] joined the channel
#
gRegor Not sure I follow
#
[tantek] check out the diff
#
[tantek] and contrast the code to the prior. e.g. yours uses inline spans rather than {{gregor}} or {{gRegor}}
#
gRegor oh I'd have to look up the MediaWiki syntax and reasoning, whenever I set up the `~~~~` years ago, I think I had to use the SUBST: syntax to include my sparkline
#
[tantek] ohhh you're using a tilda signature to do that ok
#
[tantek] it just means if you ever update any of the things in your sparkline, there will be a bunch of static legacy copies left behind
#
gregorlove.com edited /User:Gregorlove.com/sandbox (+136) "/* testing */ signature" (view diff)
#
gRegor Interesting, seems to do it even when I just have `{{gRegor}}` in my signature
#
gRegor wait, no MediaWiki seems to be switching it to `{{SUBST:gRegor}}` even when I set it explicitly to `{{gRegor}}`. I click "Save" and the page reloads with it like that. Huh
#
gRegor I don't mind, though
#
gRegor I use the tilde signature pretty sparingly
#
gRegor It's because the box is checked "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link to your user page)". Without that, the result is https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Gregorlove.com/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=113066

gRegor what is 🍍
#
Loqi 🍍 pineapple in the context of social media, especially Mastodon, was a late 2010s symbol meaning "welcome" and can also be sent in emoji form as a means of saying “hello,” “welcome,” or “aloha” https://indieweb.org/%F0%9F%8D%8D
#
[tantek] 🍍 gRegor!
#
gRegor what is void
#
Loqi The void describes the destination for writing site-owners. We muse on why we write and create on our sites and wonder whether anyone is reading our sites and feeds. Joy helps https://indieweb.org/void
