This should be moved to "Girl:" space. Which would leave us with the delightful "Girl talk: Interrupted", just like in the playground when I was even younger. Splash - tk 22:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it mandatory to WP:SUBST this template? If so: 1) why? 2) stating so explicitly, like on Template:Unsigned would be good. /skagedal^... 10:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't see why it would be mandatory. As a matter of fact, we're trying to improve the text right now, and it wouldn't be so bad if that were reflected whereever this template has been used. — Sebastian 21:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I never liked the word "interrupted", it always seemed curt to me. So here's a proposal that came up at WP:RD/L: Reword the text to "-- OriginalPoster - (continues after intermediary text below)". I will do that soonish if there's no objection. — Sebastian 21:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To me the only meaning of intermediary is an agent. How about insertion? —Tamfang (talk) 16:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's better - I'll use that. — Sebastian 22:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason for the parentheses around the text “continues after insertion below,” after the non-parenthesized dash? They seem unnecessary to me. —Frungi (talk) 07:29, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve removed them. If anyone disagrees, please do discuss. —Frungi (talk) 22:54, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should the example entry include "(5 years, 10 months, 6 days ago)"? That becomes outdated one day after it is posted, so I can't think why we'd want to encourage anyone to do that. —Salton Finneger (talk) 19:11, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that. My guess is that you have the Comments in Local Time gadget enabled in your preferences, and it mucks with the example. (If you don't want to see date differences anywhere, see the gadget documentation page I linked for information on changing its settings.)

I've made a change that I hope stops the gadget changing the example wikicode. It should still change the resulting text, to match what you see where this template is in real use. Is this looking alright for you now? – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 21:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Now it looks sensible. I still see the years/months/days ago in the example results of the code, but not in the suggesting coding to get those results. Thanks. —Salton Finneger (talk) 03:23, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
