Incorrect extra space at end of links
editWhen using the template {{Tfm2}} according to the instructions
{{subst:Tfm2|TemplateName|OtherTemplate|text=Your rationale for nominating the template. ~~~~}}
as found in the template's documentation, we obtain:
- Template:TemplateName (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:OtherTemplate (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:TemplateName with Template:OtherTemplate.

Notice that a space character is appended to the end of most of the links produced in parentheses after the template name. In particular, the link labelled "subpages" points to Special:PrefixIndex/Template:TemplateName /, with an extra space before the final / symbol, thereby not linking to the correct list of subpages of the intended title, which would be obtained by the link Special:PrefixIndex/Template:TemplateName/.
The error seems to have been introduced some time between February 4 and 21, 2024, as seen by contrasting the following two examples:
- Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 February 4#Template:Interwiki copy, where the "subpages" link correctly points to Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Interwiki copy/
- Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 February 21#Template:Facebook page, where the "subpages" link points to Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Facebook page /, which is incorrect
The error does not occur with {{Tfd2}}, which works correctly.
Furthermore, if (against the instructions) we transclude {{Tfm2}} by omitting "subst:", then it seems to work correctly. The code
{{Tfm2|TemplateName|OtherTemplate|text=Your rationale for nominating the template. ~~~~}}
produces
- Template:TemplateName (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:OtherTemplate (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:TemplateName with Template:OtherTemplate.

which seems to be correct, without the trailing spaces.
I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone figure it out? Set theorist (talk) 18:50, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Possibly the problem has been fixed, some time between July 29 and August 9. Set theorist (talk) 10:38, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
