Editing Module talk:Hatnote (section)

== Implement [[Template:Category pair]] in this module? ==

[[Template:Category pair]] is a specialized form of hatnote which takes two arguments ("preceding" and "succeeding"), checks for their existence, then produces a hatnote if one or both exist. Right now, the template code is ugly, and it can be easily implemented in Lua. I've implemented it in [[Module:Geological time]], but I think it should belong in a more central module.

What do editors think of adding an entry point in this module for [[Template:Category pair]]? — [[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 07:42, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

:The proposed functionality should probably be its own module rather than being implemented in this module, but otherwise, sure, it seems like a good target for Luafication, and you've already written most of the necessary code. I'd probably tweak the design a little (more static format-strings that are easily translated, less concatenation-based formatting)  but that's mostly my style. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">{&#123;[[User:Nihiltres|<span style="color:#233D7A;">Nihiltres</span>]]&#8202;&#124;[[User talk:Nihiltres|talk]]&#8202;&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Nihiltres|edits]]}&#125;</span> 18:23, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
::Seconded - we use a separate module for e.g. [[Module:Cat main]], so having a [[Module:Category pair]] would follow that pattern. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr.&nbsp;Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪&nbsp;talk&nbsp;♪]]</sup> 00:33, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

:::Thanks! I'll implement it as its own module. — [[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 05:13, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
