Categories for Proposed features
User Xxzme changed the names of the categories to Proposals with "..." status. I would propose to change them to Proposals with status "..." or Proposed features with status "...". Though I am not a native English speaker either, it sounds more natural and fluent to me. —M!dgard [ talk ] 12:00, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- I agree, it does sound better, but I don't think it makes a huge difference? Interestingly enough, it also seems that the server has stopped updating the categories when he was banned.. leaving part of the pages in the old
Proposed features "..."categories until now.
two tags
Currently it's not possible to give two tags in key= parameter. Even |key={{Tag|mtb:scale}}, {{Tag|mtb:uphill:scale}} doesn't work. See Proposed features/mtb:scale. maro21 22:29, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- I have introduced a new
taggingparameter for that very purpose, can be used like e.g:|tagging={{Tag|mtb:scale}}, {{Tag|mtb:uphill:scale}}. --Push-f (talk) 07:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Template breaks if name is empty or contains a template
{{Proposal page|name=}}
produces [[Category:Proposals with undefined or invalid status|]]
{{Proposal page|name=deprecate {{tag|foo|bar}}}}
produces [[Category:Proposals with undefined or invalid status|deprecate foo=bar]][[Category:Inactive features|{{{status}}} deprecate foo=bar]]

Difference between proposalDate and rfcStartDate?
What differentiates proposalDate and rfcStartDate? And do they both have the status "Proposed"? Adavidson (talk) 04:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
draftStartDate and proposalDate category links confusing Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Proposals with
There is an issue when you want to list proposals with {{Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Proposals with ...}} because the two parameters "draftStartDate" and "proposalDate" displayed in the box have links to the categories (Category:Proposals with ... status). E.g. if you want to display a list of all proposals with status "Proposed" you get also proposals with other status:
- Proposal:Goods conveyor (← links)
- Proposal:Shuttle train (← links)
- Proposal:Landcover (← links)
- Proposal:Kerb (← links)
- Proposal:Monastery (← links)
- Proposal:Key:roller coaster (← links)
- Proposal:Green alley (← links)
- Proposal:Amenity=student accommodation (← links)
- Proposal:Cluster (2015) (← links)
Could I remove those two category links from the box? --Chris2map (talk) 14:47, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- I found a workaround by setting the links as external links, see Special:Diff/2596599. --Chris2map (talk) 15:57, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Add warning if incorrect 'state'
In the process, I did set a start date but forgot to update the status-tag. It would be nice if the rendering showed a big error warning, so I could have caught this earlier. --Pietervdvn (talk) 11:17, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- There is information at the top: "Proposals with undefined or invalid status (inactive)". There is also a category. maro21 18:38, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Darkmode colors
I wish the background colors to get corresponding dark variants.
I don't know if there is significance to these, or if there are other default colors to use, instead of me choosing some by eye.

overlong line for tagging
Example Proposal:DisabilityDescription.
The list of tagging is (depending on view-width, device, configured skin text-size, etc.) too long.
It does get broken at some point, but the infobox still extends past the right end of the page.
I guess that's two separate issues. One that it doesnt shrink to a nevessary width, and two that it doesn't break the content of the Tag where appropriate. –Cyton (talk) 11:43, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- With the example you mentioned at the beginning the template parameters "key" and "value" shouldn't be used but the parameter "tagging" instead. (Replace "key" with "tagging".) --Chris2map (talk) 12:39, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
