small
edit@Primefac: the small parameter was deprecated several years ago, so it doesn't do anything anymore. We are gradually removing this parameter from each banner template. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:45, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

- Okay, so this might be a dumb question (because I'm genuinely not trying to be a twat about this) but aren't those two different things? Like... if I changed the name of the parameter here to
|condensed=
or similar, would it still really be a "small" parameter? I thought the small parameter you are discussing at the module talk was actually part of the banner shell itself, not the text input by the end users. Primefac (talk) 13:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)- Sorry if I'm being unclear! I removed the parameter in 2020 but I obviously missed the other part which WOSlinker removed the other day. So yes technically the small parameter was still having an effect, but only a minor part of its original behaviour. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:08, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, I thought that was the case! We added in some extra functionality with that value but in taking a look through uses I'm not seeing a ton. If it's in more places than I expected (via tracking cat) I'll start a discussion about potentially re-adding it under a new param name. Thanks for the patience!

- I wouldn't describe it as extra functionality - it was just to reduce the amount of text because there wasn't enough space for it all on the small version, which doesn't now exist. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:25, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
