Yfmcpxpj's Sandbox
Sandbox for testing things.
2x comic template test
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 up to and including 1083 (no 2x image)
1084 was the first comic to include a 2x image, so comics before that 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 as of 1084
For comics as of 1084, 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'. |
Omitting 2x button
If the 2x button is broken or needs to be omitted for whatever reason, that can be done with the new omit2x
parameter.
Code:
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test | number = 1085 | date = July 23, 2012 | title = ContextBot | image = contextbot.png | titletext = If you read all vaguebooking/vaguetweeting with the assumption that they're saying everything they can without revealing classified military information, the internet gets way more exciting. | omit2x = true }}
Result:
Overriding 2x target
If the 2x button needs to link to a different file (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 = 1085 | date = July 23, 2012 | title = ContextBot | image = contextbot.png | titletext = If you read all vaguebooking/vaguetweeting with the assumption that they're saying everything they can without revealing classified military information, the internet gets way more exciting. | override2x= server_problem_2x.png }}
Result:
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= server_problem_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 = 1085 | date = July 23, 2012 | title = ContextBot | image = contextbot.png | titletext = If you read all vaguebooking/vaguetweeting with the assumption that they're saying everything they can without revealing classified military information, the internet gets way more exciting. | override2x= server_problem_2x.png | omit2x = true }}
Result:
