Parameters to add

It would be good to add an image parameter. Jon (talk) 18:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Agree, I've just gone ahead and done this. Used on Les Plywood project. If anyone wants to roll it back feel free --Danspencer101 (talk) 23:59, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Great work. I wonder if it would look better without the thumbnail border?
I tried removing the |thumb| argument but doesnt seem to have done much. More research required I think... Danspencer101 (talk)
adding |border|frameless| to the template seems to have worked |Danspencer101 (talk)


It would be possible to automatically add page to categories based on the status, creator/s and date created (year). With varying degrees of trickiness.
As well as creation date, completion and dormant date parameters could be added. Jon (talk) 16:58, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Add usage

It would be good to add example usage code in the documentation section. Jon (talk) 18:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

QR Code

More info about the QR Code. Is the QR Code used on many project pages? Does it link to Nottinghack homepage or wiki page of project, or customisable? Jon (talk) 17:14, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Example of pages using QR Code


The QR Code image on the Vending Machine page seems to be links to the wiki page its on. However, if you click through the hyperlink that the template generates it shows a different QR code that is a dead link due to a spelling mistake in the URL. See this image.

Anyone know how we can change this?

Side note, Does anyone actually use QR codes anyway? --Danspencer101 (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

This was a simple fix so I just changed the URL. Still questioning if we need the QR at all though--Danspencer101 (talk) 22:44, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Project type

There are two main types of projects - ones by members and hackspace infrastructure projects. Is it worth having a parameter for this? Jon (talk) 17:14, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
