== Template applies to article but points back to different template ==

I have this problem with [[Bash (Unix shell) | Bash]] article. ''Latest stable software release/Bash'' is used in the article, but  [+/-] sign points to ''Latest stable software release/Bash (Unix shell)''. It most likely happened because the article changed its title at some point. I could probably easily fix it by moving the template under new link, but that would break all other articles that use the template. What is the best solution here?  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:K4rolB|K4rolB]] ([[User talk:K4rolB#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/K4rolB|contribs]]) 19:24, 19 March 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Small must be removed ==

By including small in this template, it violates [[:MOS:ACCESS]], specifically [[:MOS:SMALLTEXT]], {{xt|Avoid using smaller font sizes within elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes, and reference sections. This means that {{tag|small}} tags, and templates such as {{tlx|small}} and {{tlx|smaller}}, should not be applied to [[plain text]] within those elements. In no case should the resulting font size of any text drop below 85% of the page's default font size (i.e. 11.9&nbsp;px in Vector skin or 10.8&nbsp;px in Monobook).}} The font size is too small.

:::I also fixed {{tl|LPR}}, which had the same accessibility problem. Small text was displaying at 75% of the default font size in the infobox. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 02:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

== Option to use / instead of brackets to separate release date and release version? ==

I feel like that would help with consistency especially when used in conjunction with [[Template:Multiple releases]] [[User:Nathanielcwm|Nathanielcwm]] ([[User talk:Nathanielcwm|talk]]) 08:59, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

== Error: Preview and article do not produce the same result. ==

The template LSR, such as:

<code><nowiki>{{LSR

| article                = Linux
| latest release version = 5.13
| latest release date    = {{Start date and age|2021|06|27|df=yes}}
}}</nowiki></code>

does not produce the same result in preview like a live article.

In preview it shows the correct day difference (today (2021-07-06): "'''9 days ago'''"), But it shows [[Template:Latest stable software release/Linux]] ("'''1 day ago'''") instead, as it were 28 June 2021 today. Go, edit the previous link and check it out!

:{{Resolved}} It was a purge problem -- [[User:ZH8000|ZH8000]] ([[User talk:ZH8000|talk]]) 20:07, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

== No edit link if Template:Wikidata is used ==

I think this template should able to detect whether {{tl|Wikidata}} is used to display version number and date, to my eyes, if {{tl|Wikidata}} is used, this template should hide the [±] link. --[[User:Great Brightstar|Great Brightstar]] ([[User talk:Great Brightstar|talk]]) 15:12, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
