Restore reasonalt parameter

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please undo per WP:BRD this edit [1] that removed the reasonalt parameter from this template. --Bsherr (talk) 17:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Primefac (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bsherr: Can you now share the reason you wished for the change to be reverted? --Deskana (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think I know. I meant to remove the redundant and unnecessary parenthetical text, but I made a mistake and also unintendedly removed the reasonalt parameter. I've fixed that mistake now. --Deskana (talk) 22:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's it precisely. Thanks for your patience. Regrettably, this parameter is not documented. I will endeavor to fix that. Bsherr (talk) 22:37, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Glad it worked out! --Deskana (talk) 14:15, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be an empty edit request (I have commented out the copy/paste of the entire template code, which was not helpful). Did you wish to make a request to change the text in this template? – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:22, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request for dark mode enhancements

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please merge the main template with the dark mode enhancements in Template:School block/sandbox. Waqar💬 16:32, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. For this one, Waqar, the sandbox had an old version of the template when you edited it. For future reference, it would be helpful if you first copy the main template to the sandbox. (For example, click "View source" at Template:School block, copy the code, then paste it into Template:School block/sandbox.) SilverLocust 💬 07:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, thanks! I'll make sure to copy the main template to the sandbox before editing it in the future. Waqar💬 08:46, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
