== Infobox Emacs ==

Hey! Wanted to drop in and say thanks for the awesome work you did for the [[User:Layer-09/Sandbox/Infobox Emacs|Emacs infobox]]. I noticed you're implementing it into the [[Emacs]] article. In the spirit of keeping things maintainable I created {{tl|application infobox}} based on your modifications, which you can use. It's not perfect, for sure, there's lots of work yet to be done, but it's a good start. I'll leave it to you whenever you have time. And if you want to coordinate/pair up on modifying templates or implementing infoboxes, I'd be eager to :)

P.S. Emacs in this context is ''unique'' because it refers to both the editor and the language. So separation of concerns-wise, I only added the application fields in the infobox, but if you feel '''strongly''' about it, you can do a similar {{tl|language infobox}}.

P.P.S. Please feel more than free to edit {{tl|infobox}} and {{tl|application infobox}} btw, I just made them to be able to track the infobox usage, and have a unified way of distributing changes, but otherwise go wild :) [[User:DoggoBit|DoggoBit]] ([[User talk:DoggoBit|talk]]) 23:14, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:Hello! Thank you for the compliment! I do like your version much better. I took some chances with the infobox, since I was not entirely sure if its use case was fitting this wiki well enough. I've tried implementing your version in the Emacs page, but I'm not sure why the image is not centered and why it refuses to scale to <strong>300px</strong>.

:You've made some tremendous work on the templates, and I love your main page redesign. I would be more than happy to collaborate with you. If there were any feedback to offer, I'd say that the infobox names from now on should be "Template:Infobox X", instead of putting the category first. Wikipedia style.

:I've been working on a new way to display commands or code blocks similar to the <strong>Commands template</strong>. The idea is to include a "Copy" button and a fixed <code>$</code> prompt that doesn't get copied when using the button. Line numbers are removed to keep things clean. If you like the idea, perhaps you could give it a try. [[User:Layer-09|Layer-09]] ([[User talk:Layer-09|talk]]) 09:47, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
::Oh awesome, yeah, I agree on the infobox naming, I'll rename them shortly. For the commands, that would be super cool to have; I tried to do something similar but I couldn't figure out how to inject the prompt symbol. I did modify the {{tl|file}} to include {{tl|code}}, though (which is a wrapper around <code><nowiki><syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code>, in case either of them are useful to your {{tl|commands}} [[User:DoggoBit|DoggoBit]] ([[User talk:DoggoBit|talk]]) 15:17, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
::By the way, I created a [[NixOS Wiki:WikiProject Templates]] to coordinate some of these efforts, in case anyone else wants to join in. [[User:DoggoBit|DoggoBit]] ([[User talk:DoggoBit|talk]]) 22:30, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
