Template talk:Chess diagram

Description of suggested change: There's an ugly empty row below the chess board if the caption is set to a single newline (see e.g. King's Gambit, Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, Petrov's Defence, Two Knights Defense, and Sicilian Defence). Instead of fixing all these articles, let's get rid of this once and for all so that our eyes may finally stop hurting.

This has been added to the sandbox. There is an error in the live version of this module (since May 2013 apparently) and seems to be an issue with the escape patterns in lines 243 and 244. I have made a possible fix in the sandbox. Can you comment on this @Frietjes? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

MSGJ, seems fine to me. I was first learning LUA back then, so I may have made a mistake with the escape patterns. if it works fine with these changes, then go for it. Frietjes (talk) 16:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Just a heads up, this template doesn't render properly in the Timeless skin when using a narrow width (Like with a cell phone). Bawolff (talk) 08:28, 25 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

It seems to have worsened with the TemplateStyles migration in Special:Diff/1270301621, in particular the td {text-align: center} rule. Although even before that, the notations are still off. – SD0001 (talk) 12:24, 25 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Fixed the regression in Special:Diff/1271734817. Something still needs to be done about the table wanting to occupy the full width, causing the top and bottom notations to be misaligned and the right-side notations to be far away from the board. – SD0001 (talk) 12:36, 25 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The styles Timeless adds to .thumbinner at low widths are causing the mess. – SD0001 (talk) 12:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm pretty certain you know this, but i'll say it anyway: it is very much possible to add css rules which only affect a specific skin, by plugging .skin-<skin-name> as part of the rule's selector, so it should be possible to amend/override any skin-specific rule in a way that will not affect and will not harm the display in other skins.

Change use of 26x26 pixel images of amazons (File:Chess Adt26.svg and File:Chess Alt26.svg) to 45x45 pixel images to be consistent with other pieces (File:Chess Adt45 Amazon.svg, File:Chess Alt45 Amazon.svg, File:Chess Adl45.svg, File:Chess Add45.svg, File:Chess Ald45.svg, File:Chess All45.svg) PharaohCrab (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Just a heads up, I made a template based on this one that can show how a game unfolds at {{Chess viewer }}. I thought people involved in this template might be interested or have opinions. Bawolff (talk) 21:25, 3 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
