tophats or hatnotes?
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_hat_(disambiguation) - no mention there of "tophat" to mean what Wikipedia calls a "hatnote". Could we standardize here? -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 22:41, June 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * If I had to guess, I would say it was just a typo that never got caught; Wikipedia's always referred to those templates as hatnotes or dabnotes (though the distinction between those terms was never very clear to me, and they seem to have standardized/converged on the former). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:02, June 27, 2016 (UTC)


 * Good point - I've just switched out the word. Thanks! 18:00, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Not enough types?
What types such as Template:Nihongo, Template:Ruby or Template:Translation belong to? These are heavily used on wikis about franchises that didn't originate fro English-speaking countriesFortressMaximus &#35;realcanon #TruEU &#35;2016YearofMecha (Talk) 22:40, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Order of listing
They would be much easier to add if they were listed in an obvious order so that we could quickly scroll to the one we wanted if we know it. How about alphabetical? -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:11, June 21, 2017 (UTC)

Bulk edit template type is having issues
I'm trying to click on the bulk edit template type link for a category on a wiki that I have admin rights on, but nothing happens. A list of options to set all the templates in a certain category as a certain type doesn't show up, so I can't use the bulk edit template type feature. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 06:34, July 21, 2017 (UTC)
