Time templates

Your recent changes to these templates have been introducing errors to some of the pages they are included on, and so adding them to Category:Pages with script errors. You can see the errors also reported on the template pages: e,g this version of Template:Current daylight saving offset in New Zealand is a member of the category. Please can you check any other templates you have changed for errors, either fixing the errors or undoing your edits.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 09:25, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Some recent edits to something (not sure what) added over 20 pages to Category:Pages with parser function time errors. For example, User:Ikmac has

{{User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone |ET|12h=yes|place=Ottawa}}

and that displays Error: Invalid time. Would you please check whether your edits have had an unintended impact. Johnuniq (talk) 01:16, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

I have reverted User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone to the last good revision 792059418. Please check your edits. –Wefk423 (talk) 15:05, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Template:~ does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Your edits have been creating numerous error message across different user pages that used such userbox. Please test your edits in the template sandbox. Wefk423 (talk) 17:40, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Your recent template edits

Please slow down and obtain consensus before making edits to highly-used templates like {{Offset}}. Your edits may have caused the template to give incorrect results in some cases. Thank you. Enterprisey (talk!) 20:32, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Your addition of a template indicating that Template:Time Zone should be added

I have reverted almost all of your additions of this template during an AWB run on August 10. Infoboxes are not mandatory, and many of the pages present complex historical information that would be hard to represent using an infobox. Others already have one or even two other, more appropriate boxes: Time in Europe, Time in the Middle East, Time in Africa, Time in Russia ... A few, such as Jet lag, are not time zones at all. I found only one page where I felt the addition of the template would be a clear improvement: Sri Lanka Standard Time, which was instead using Infobox:School with an ad hoc illustration. You could more usefully have performed the substitution of templates yourself rather than slapping on a maintenance template. In fact, since unlike me you understand templates well, I request you fix my edit, which leaves an error message regarding the "Current time". It struck me that there are some remaining regions of the world that don't have their own boxes like Time in Africa, etc., so if you really feel there should be an infobox whenever possible, consider creating Time in Oceania or Time in Asia instead. But in many cases there are informative graphics in use that are as much or more useful, such as the International Dateline one. Yngvadottir (talk) 06:23, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
