Template:11link (or related template) has stopped auto-capitalising first character

Hi PBS, I believe your recent changes to this template, or another, has changed the behaviour in some cases (pardon the pun) — whereas before using all lowercase e.g. constable would result in the correct article being shown, Constable. The 11link template used to redirect to {{tl:EB1911 intra-article link}} which (used to) automatically capitalise the first letter, the documentation on Template:EB1911 intra-article link/doc for "abyss" states that it should link to the article name "Abyss". There's hundreds (maybe thousands) of article links using lowercase copied from Gutenberg that used to work OK, now the links using all lowercase are broken.

@DivermanAU Thanks for pointing that out. I have reverted my changes to Template:EB1911 Intra-Article Link and Template:11link. It is my intention to only have one template but I will have to do some further development to implement it successfully. In the mean time please use the one in the MOS {{EB1911 article link}}. At the moment {{11link}} has been used in many EB11 article to massively over link words in them and a search on that link will allow us to target such articles sometime in the future. -- PBS (talk) 07:25, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Template:Sfrac

Hi. I have noticed that you added the font-size parameter to the {{sfrac}}. I tried to use it, but it it makes no difference in the size of the characters, so it seems to me it got broken somehow. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:58, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Only now I found out that it does not work in Chrome, but it works well in Firefox. So I guess there is nothing to be done about it. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 19:09, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Water Supply

Looks like you've been able to spend the time that I didn't! Unfortunately I started proofreading this but other stuff kept happening and it went out of my mind.

I see you found some earlier uploaded diagrams. I should have said that the first thing I did was upload all of them, with consistent appearance and naming. On Commons, they are "EB1911-Water_Supply-<n>.png". You're welcome to fix the remaining missing diagrams, of course. Sorry, I have to run (again). DavidBrooks (talk) 16:51, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I may not have been clear. I did upload all 21 images, consistently named, early February. You found something uploaded by Francois-Pier last October, which I wasn't aware of when I did the duplicates. He(?) uploaded an impressive number of EB1911 images late last year; the Water Supply batch have descriptive names while I used figure numbers. DavidBrooks (talk) 20:37, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Portal:Wars of the Three Kingdoms

Hi. Long time empty portal. Do you think that it may be better as a redirect or the while? Even a redirect with a sub-heading. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:04, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Treaty of Vienna (Seventh Coalition)

Hello. May I ask about the source of the text of Treaty of Vienna (Seventh Coalition), and especially about the source of the footnotes? -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 16:15, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
