"Variables" section

Talk status
This discussion is done as of 2024-03-31.

I'm tempted to remove the "Variables" section, as Gentoo_Wiki:Article_Blueprints/Variables and Template:Gentoo_variable seem empty. Is there any more information on this ? I can't see where it is used... Kyoreln (talk) 19:19, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

I have removed the reference to Gentoo_Wiki:Article_Blueprints/Variables. I have also requested to have that page deleted and I have opened a new discussion on its talk page. Glibg10b (talk) 13:13, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Deprecated calls

Talk status
This discussion is done as of 2024-04-22.

I can't find an alternative to the deprecated source tag. The combination of nowiki and pre does not work with nested pre. Nested pre is required by Template:RootCmd. --Lars Hint (talk) 14:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Found it, syntaxhighlight works perfectly. --Lars Hint (talk)
You beat me to it. I found it by starting at the implementation of {{CodeBox}} and going deeper and deeper. — Waldo Lemmer 14:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for trying to help. :) --Lars Hint (talk) 14:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Row ID

Talk status
This discussion is still ongoing.

Is there a specific reason why row identifiers (e.g. id="cpu") are present in the table? Most contributors don't like it, so they don't use it. --Lars Hint (talk) 14:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Optional sections

Talk status
This discussion is still ongoing.

Some blueprints use the following format:

(optional section blah blah)

And some use another one:

<!-- optional section blah blah -->

Which one should be preferred? --Lars Hint (talk) 15:30, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
