Hyphenated Listname does not Expand
[edit]So, I added Casting (performing arts) to the Pre-production list, but trying to Expand that section within the Casting (performing arts) Article using |expanded=Pre-production fails to show the links under | list2name = Pre–production and I noticed the same behavior for | list4name = Post–production whereas Expanding
| list1name = Development and | list3name = Production and | list5name = Distribution seems to work just fine. I can only surmise that the Hyphen is preventing the Expand, somehow. Ideas? Comments? Criticisms? <chirp chirp> "Bueller? ... Bueller? ..." ThanQ IA ~<}:^> GreyElf (talk) 22:21, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- I should also add, the same thing happens with Spaces as with Hyphens. For example, neither "See also" nor "Related topics" will expand. However, in the case of "Related topics" if you only
|expanded=Relatedinstead of|expanded=Related topicsit will expand as the List Name is only One Word:| list6name = Related...so, unless the Space/Hyphen issue can be solved as the Template now stands, then perhaps your List Names should change to a Single Word (e.g., Preproduction, Postproduction, Seealso, etc.) & the Documentation should be changed to advise/instruct Editors exactly what String to use for the various Parameter Values. Hope that helps. ~<}:^> GreyElf (talk) 23:05, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
