-== QUESTION about "Infobox Former Country" [template] ==
-This message is partly in response to the place at
-[[Template:Infobox_Former_Country/Instructions#Any_questions_about_these_instructions.3F]]
-where it says, "==Any questions about these instructions?==
-Leave a message with [[User talk:52 Pickup|52 Pickup]]."
-Today I made a change to
-[[Margraviate_of_Brandenburg]]
-(today's change:
-http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Margraviate_of_Brandenburg&diff=prev&oldid=243740084);
-(see also: previous change "A": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Margraviate_of_Brandenburg&diff=prev&oldid=225257951)
-(see also: previous change "B": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Margraviate_of_Brandenburg&diff=prev&oldid=225336288)
-I am not sure why some of those "year" portions of dates, were
-not appearing (being displayed) before today's change
-[the one with "oldid=243740084"].
-AT FIRST, I thought this [my idea for today's change] was just what the Dr ordered,
-since after the change, the "year" portions of dates, started
-appearing (being displayed) just fine.
-HOWEVER, then I started reading at
-[[Template:Infobox_Former_Country/Instructions]] and NOW, it does seem
-a bit like, the old code "should have" worked.
-ESPECIALLY since, I went back and looked at some old versions of
-[[Margraviate_of_Brandenburg]]
-and, in some of those old versions, (about 10 or 20 versions back)
-(I think), the "year" portions of dates, were appearing
-(being displayed) just fine - - EVEN THOUGH the years were being
-entered on a separate line ("sorta" like, BEFORE today's change).
-So - was there maybe some change in the [[Template:Infobox_Former_Country]]
-template, that caused something to stop working, that used to work OK?
-Or, was there something else, that affected stuff, that I do not
-understand <s>completely</s>?
-By the way (side question:)  What happens when some greenhorn
-looks at an older version of some WP page (an article) from (say)
-a few months ago, and that page uses a certain <nowiki> {{infobox ..}} </nowiki>
-template, that has changed since then?  Does the system show the
-greenhorn how it looked "way back when", with the then-current
-version of the <nowiki> {{infobox ..}} </nowiki> template?
-(and if not, then is there a way to "request" to see that?)
-(also, if it does use the then-current version of the template, then
-is there a way to "request" to see how it would look now,
-using "TODAY's" version of the <nowiki> {{infobox ..}} </nowiki> template?)
-Just wondering.  THANKS, --[[User:Mike Schwartz|Mike Schwartz]] ([[User talk:Mike Schwartz|talk]]) 23:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
