Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:IOS version history which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 17:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move "Table of versions" section higher up

I think most people using this page for looking up the version number to name mapping of the Ubuntu versions and the support dates. Thus I think the table of versions should be moved up as it is on several other version history pages:

Any objections for re-applying http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Ubuntu_version_history&oldid=1149043560 ? Tyilo (talk) 21:45, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would make it very different in section order from:

Keep in mind WP:NOTMANUAL as far as looking up support dates and such. Also what about the version timeline? - Ahunt (talk) 21:51, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request to reopen discussion

explicit, this is completely outrageous! U should not have closed the template while weighing the majority !votes without considering other users' opinions, which, unfortunately, only two seemed to be interested. Reopen that discussion now for fairer results!197.0.40.125 (talk) 15:20, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me?
1. This is an appropriately notified TfD. Those interested have participated. Reopening will not make a difference and will not suddenly attract others for no reason.
2. All you do is say you do not want the template to be deleted without much reason or discussion. You only provided one train which I responded to and you have never responded to that. Why are you on this crusade and why are you so interested? Aaron Liu (talk) 15:27, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, excuse me, for a moment. That specific TfD U were typing about was not appropriately notified to all users. To make an appropriate notification, users who have recently been editing articles or related templates should instead be notified. Not notifying users under a particular WikiProject. Not notifying to a limited number of WikiProjects. This is one of the many problems of how a result could be made through falsification and, perhaps, through non-admin or little to non-experienced users. Go back and restore the discussion for an unlimited time and we will ©.197.0.40.125 (talk) 15:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProjects are in fact for notifying related articles and template, what more would you want? You have still not explained why you so desperately want this template to be kept and there is no reason why reopening the discussion without anyone else knowing about it would help.

Formatting

1. My problem with the ellipses is not that they weren't wrapped in brackets. My problem is that they are the single unicode character … instead of the MOS-prescribed ....
2. Removing spaces from templates, which you re-did in your recent edit, is NOT helpful. It gives no benefit to the reader and brings a lot of difficulty to editors navigating the template code. I have also preserved the removal of surrounding spaces from equal signs in my revert.
3. {{Version}} is a template. It changes on its own, and by transcluding it we automatically sync with upstream changes of what the legend should look like. You replaced the template with a snapshot of it for no apparent reason, which is not very good.
4. We have a very long reference list, for which separating into columns of 30em helps a lot.

While this was not a reason for my revert, I'd like to say that replacing HTML tags (<blockquote></blockquote>) with their template wrapper equivalent does nothing at all. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:49, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In case if anyone is wondering Y the user commented with the second person, the above user was referring to my recent activity on the article.197.3.152.166 (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
