Temporary nicknames problem in infobox

Template:Ping: I tried to split the nicknames like this: | nickname = Template:Plainlist | nickname_subunit_1 = Template:Plainlist The 'unit' nicknames list works fine but not the sub-units list. None of the nicknames appear, instead the unit plurals are repeated. "It is not logical, Captain."

Any ideas? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 14:02, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

See my edit just now for |nickname_subunit_1=abc. Seems to work. BTW1: the "plurals" repeated you saw could be the (singular) names. These are repeated LH-side for subunits plurals, and then again for nicknames. (subunits are a horror already now, and then adding 5-lang lissts ... is daring; why not a section overview for stareters?). Ping me again if it still doesn't work (save that edit anyway so I can take a look). -DePiep (talk) 14:36, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

No, I still see the same abomination using Chrome at least, though how that could produce the 'false inheritance' I don't know. Let's sandbox it here: --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 14:53, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't see irregularities. Not in Chrome either. NB "centimE" says its the sungular name in LH side.

Now, the subunits are a horror, up for improvement but not this week for me. Then, trying to stack five subvariants × [value, names, plural, nick] into an infobox is not a good way to bring information in any way or thought. So I prefer spending no more time on this. (IOW, better stop stacking constructs in an infobox this way; try otherthing). DePiep (talk) 15:04, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem to park it for now. It is another edge case that is ugly but not broken. So as a reminder for when we come back to it, what I see is something like this (without the lines):

Nickname

	Swiss German
Template:Native name	for a 1
Template:Native name	centime coin;
Template:Native name	for a 5 centimes coin
Template:Native name	for a 50
	centimes coin.

Curious but one for another time. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:57, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Resolved

The problem appears to have been fixed. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 14:25, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

New banknotes

Please update the banknotes to the modern design. 178.197.197.244 (talk) 20:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia Italiana (IT:Banconote svizzere#Nona serie) has the new designs, so the table at Template:Slink should be techicnally easy to update, if anyone can supply the matching text?

Is anyone is able to make a fanfold image? (The editor who created the original has not contributed to Commons since 2013.) --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk)

₣: Is it official?

I found this symbol online and thought it was weird that this article didn’t have one. Fanmanlyer (talk) 10:17, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

No, it has no official status anywhere. Template:Unichar was a proposed currency symbol for the French franc (not the Swiss one). It never gained any legal or usage status and has fallen by the wayside. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:16, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
