Sandbox for testing things.
Contents
2x comic template test[edit]
Test template: User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
Experimental template, adding a "2x" button to automatically link to the double-resolution comic images on xkcd.com.
Comics as of 1084[edit]
Comic 1084 was the first comic to include a 2x image, so for all comics as of 1084, automatically insert a "2x" button to link directly to the higher resolution image on xkcd.com.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1084 | date = July 20, 2012 | title = Server Problem | image = server_problem.png | titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. }}
Result:
Server Problem |
Title text: Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. |
Comics up to and including 1083 (no 2x image)[edit]
For comics before 1084, no double-resolution image exists, so they should not have a "2x" button.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1083 | date = July 18, 2012 | title = Writing Styles | image = writing_styles.png | titletext = I liked the idea, suggested by h00k on bash.org, of a Twitter bot that messages prominent politicians to tell them when they've unnecessarily used sms-speak abbreviations despite having plenty of characters left. }}
Result:
Comics without a number[edit]
Template:comic is also used for one-off comics hosted outside of xkcd.com, for example, Category:Extra comics. Those comics don't have a "number", and should also not have a "2x" button.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | date = October 22, 2015 | title = XKCD Marks the Spot | image = world_polio_day.png | before = Original blog post on ''gatesnotes'': http://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot | titletext = World Polio Day XKCD comic | ldomain = gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot# | lappend = | extra = yes }}
Result:
XKCD Marks the Spot |
Original blog post on gatesnotes: http://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot |
Title text: World Polio Day XKCD comic |
Omitting 2x button[edit]
If the "2x" button target is broken, or if the button just needs to be omitted for whatever reason, that can be done with the new omit2x
parameter.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1084 | date = July 20, 2012 | title = Server Problem | image = server_problem.png | titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. | omit2x = true }}
Result:
Server Problem |
Title text: Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. |
Overriding 2x target[edit]
Alternatively, if the "2x" button needs to link to a different filename (for example, if the filename on xkcd.com doesn't match the filename on explainxkcd.com), the alternate filename can be specified in the override2x
parameter.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1084 | date = July 20, 2012 | title = Server Problem | image = server_problem.png | titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. | override2x= contextbot_2x.png }}
Result:
Server Problem |
Title text: Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. |
This could also be used to add a "2x" button to older comics, if appropriate.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1 | date = September 30, 2005 | title = Barrel - Part 1 | image = barrel_cropped_(1).jpg | titletext = Don't we all. | override2x= contextbot_2x.png }}
Result:
Barrel - Part 1 |
Title text: Don't we all. |
Note, however, that omit2x
takes precedence over override2x
.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1084 | date = July 20, 2012 | title = Server Problem | image = server_problem.png | titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. | override2x= contextbot_2x.png | omit2x = true }}
Result:
Server Problem |
Title text: Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'. |
