Cempty and Cnone

Sorry, but what is the differences between these templates? Because I can't find in the documentation any references to CEmpty. Redjedi23 (talk) 10:25, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you type into the search bar "template:CEmpty", you can find {{CEmpty}}. It's one of the standard table formatting templates that are available to use. Van Isaac, GHTV^cont_WpWS 19:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanisaac Yes, I know. The problem is that I don't know when I should use {{CEmpty}} instead of {{CNone}}. They are very similar, but the first one is not documented. Redjedi23 (talk) 13:02, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bug?

At Sheryl Crow discography#2000s, there seems to be a bug with this template that causes it to format incorrectly as data-sort-value="" style="background: #ececec; color: #2C2C2C; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; " class="table-na" | —. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:5D5:7FF3:8C6:E734 (talk) 21:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GIGO. Should be fixed now. Primefac (talk) 14:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with Dark mode.

When using Dark Mode, the {{Not yet}} template retains its light color.

The {{N/a}} template, however, changes color to match the mode.

If this is the wrong location, please let me know. Redacted II (talk) 01:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC) Courtesy links added, no content change. Primefac (talk) 13:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sohom Datta, is this just a case of adding the var for dark mode as you did here? Primefac (talk) 13:20, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It took a bit more messing around, but the template should be fixed :) Sohom (talk) 13:44, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Redacted II (talk) 14:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dark mode fixes with skin-invert

I think it would be a good idea to add the class skin-invert to all the templates that lack it (currently only one or two have it).
Here's an example with {{yes}} and {{no}}:

Example without skin-invert
Foobar	Foo	Bar
Barfoo	Yes	No

Example with skin-invert
Foobar	Foo	Bar
Barfoo	Yes	No

Here's a screenshot in dark mode:

Pinging Jonesey95 because you've been active in this area. — Qwerfjkl talk 17:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I posted about this issue a few months ago (somewhere; I can't put my finger to it right now) when the dark mode was just starting to emit Linter errors. I was hoping for a systematic fix so that we didn't need to edit every one of these templates and hope to get it right. I am still hoping for such a fix, maybe a shared CSS file so that if we get it wrong, we don't have to go back and fix all of them again. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:25, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
