Inline styles?

Right now it's

<div class="boilerplate afd vfd xfd-closed archived mw-archivedtalk" style="background-color: var(--background-color-progressive-subtle, #F3F9FF); color: var(--color-base, #000); margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-subtle, #AAAAAA);">

This seems to be some kind of dark mode thing? I don't really understand though -- shouldn't we be trying to use stylesheets for stuff and not inline styles? Moreover, we already have styles (e.g. afd, vfd, xfd-closed), I assume these are styled somewhere already -- why do we have inline styles in the afd-top template at all? It seems like a gigantic headache. jp×g 🗯️ 05:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My thought process here for adding inline styles was twofold:

I was unsure if adding templatestyles could cause the WP:PEIS limit to be breached on bigger pages
If the {{afd top}} template was substituted, it could cause issues due to the fact that the styles might not being carried over

To my knowledge afd vfd xfd-closed don't apply any specific styles and while the inline styles do take precedence over other user-generated styles, the behaviour of the inline CSS will be analogous to it's previous behaviour if the CSS variables defined for vector-2022 are absent.

I know this isn't a discussion that many would want to jump into probably and close it, but editors are starting to bring out the pitchforks about the TfD tag, not only here (most recent) but also at other pages (like this). So either it gets closed or we disable the notice, because at this point, whoever wanted to see this discussion already saw it. Gonnym (talk) 12:26, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Tfd links

I was wondering if it is possible to add another link for an "insource" search link and not cause any significant performance issues to the TfD pages. Gonnym (talk) 11:49, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this would be for templates that may be substed or otherwise hard to tell transclusion count? Primefac (talk) 18:29, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a lot of times when I'm not sure about a template I search with insource to make sure it's not hidden away somewhere in might-be-used scenario. Gonnym (talk) 11:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
