Template #6 Issue #1
Jun 17, 2017
Damn you're good.
There is missing like half of content. Listicle items
admin
I am, thanks.

Note to admin: there's missing "Listicle" content, but I believe that page source that IV gives to my template is not the same as view-source:URL of the page.

I will resubmit this issue with information about an IV bug, if it is a bug, or resubmit my template, if it's my issue (need some time to investigate).
Declined by admin
Yes, he is. It's ok now.
Accepted by admin
The issue is solved for the new version of the template but it was still valid for the earlier version.

Template #11 Issue #1

This gallery is not related to an article. They are neither related to the topic, nor "read more", just a random gallery at the end.
chuchu
So read more is optional :)

Template #11 Issue #2

This is not a cover on the source page.
Missing first photo in the slideshow.
Accepted by admin
Template #16 Issue #1
Jun 18, 2017
Missing one more author
admin
I've reached the template size limit ("Sorry, your template is too big" when trying to save). Anyway, this one is not very critical, since it's not an author of article, but a credit for illustrations.
Declined by admin
It is acceptable to only include the author of the text.
Template #18 Issue #1
Jun 18, 2017
So, let's the show start.
1. Page is not generated for target page: this page is suggested when you press "Add template" or "Check other templates" button.
Accepted by admin
Template #19 handles this page.
Template #18 Issue #2

Rudimentary content not removed
Accepted by admin
Template #18 Issue #3
Jun 18, 2017
Missing an IV for a target page.
Accepted by admin
This page must generate IV. Template #19 supports it.
Template #19 Issue #1
Jun 18, 2017
No IV
admin
I didn't support any more subdomains than I do already, including those you report, because I've reached a template size limit.
Declined by admin
The template creator really hit a size limit. There is not much he can do about it without removing working code.
Template #18 Issue #4
Jun 18, 2017
Missing a big cover image.
Accepted by admin
The cover is required in this case.
Template #19 Issue #2
Jun 18, 2017
There is no loss of information if you make slideshow out of gfx. Ofc loosing some visual feature, but content remain
admin
This interactive element must be unsupported, because usually this comparator tool is essential to images it contains.

In all cases I've met this element it was essential: without it, it'd be very inconvenient and not clear for a reader why there's a slideshow with 2 visually the same pictures. Or it would just take too much time and pain for a reader to find a difference between them.

This one is a good example of how usually this block used and why it's essential:
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/nationalgeographic.com/template18/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.nationalgeographic.com%2F2015%2F12%2F151229-before-after-earth-features%2F

I slightly agree that in article you've reported this block is not that much essential, as in other articles. But I can't really do much here, because there's no way to identify in what cases this block is essential to images it contains, and in what articles it's not.

If there would be such image comparator block in Telegram IV, I would support it in my template.
Declined by admin
While a slideshow can be generated instead of the widged on the original site, it's probably the best to @unsupport it.

If the site's owner would have wanted to create a slideshow instead of using such a slidebar, they probably would have.

As the template creator already wrote, this is used to display changes in things (like the lake he linked to) directly - overlaying.

This should be preserved and it's not possible to display such stuff in IV yet.
Template #19 Issue #3
Jun 18, 2017
You know there is a lot of pages on which both templates are f*up
admin
I didn't support any more subdomains than I do already, including those you report, because I've reached a template size limit.

Speaking about, as you say, "f*up"'ing. Nope, for now I've found only one valid issue for my template, which is not very critical compared to other's templates.

Template #18 Issue #8

Nested lists must either be formatted, when possible, or just be marked unsupported.
Accepted by admin
Template #19 Issue #4
Jun 18, 2017
If u see nested lists, then you should format them, not mark unsupported
admin
This is not the case.

While it's possible to format nested list of second level, it becomes impossible at level 3, 4 or more.

This page visually (and logically) describes a discussion tree (level 1 – topic, level 2 – subtopics/questions, level 3 – answers/etc).

In instant view it just becomes a garbarge-formatted text no matter how many <br>s or extra symbols you put inside of it. Especially when elements contain too much information, like in this case.

There should be some ability to add padding for the text from IV side for cases like these.
Declined by admin
Marking nested lists as unsupported is legit. The reporter's template doesn't support those either. There hasn't been a good solution for 3 level nested lists yet, which look good on all devices.
