Temporary nicknames problem in infobox[edit]

@DePiep:: I tried to split the nicknames like this:

| nickname =

Swiss German: Stutz^{[note 1]} for a 1 franc coin (en Stutz), or loose change in general (Stutz); Füüfliiber^{[note 1]} for a 5 francs coin
Swiss Standard German: Einfränkler for a 1 franc coin; Zweifränkler for a 2 francs coin; Hunderter for a 100 francs note; Ameise for a 1000 francs note
Swiss French: balle(s) for ≥ 1 franc; thune for a 5 franc coin
Swiss Italian:

| nickname_subunit_1 =

Swiss German: Einräppler^{[note 1]} for a 1 centime coin; Füüferli^{[note 1]} for a 5 centimes coin; Füfzgerli^{[note 1]} for a 50 centimes coin.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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
Rappen (German)	Einräppler^{[note 1]} for a 1
centime (French)	centime coin; Füüferli^{[note 1]}
centesimo (Italian)	for a 5 centimes coin
rap (Romansh)	Füfzgerli^{[note 1]} for a 50
	centimes coin.

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

Resolved[edit]

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

New banknotes[edit]

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

Wikipedia Italiana (IT:Banconote svizzere#Nona serie) has the new designs, so the table at Swiss franc § Banknotes 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)
