Editing Module talk:TableTools (section)

== Bug in deepCopy ==

Has anyone tried p.deepCopy which was apparently merged in from [[Module:Table]] by {{u|Pppery}} in [[Special:Diff/884153516|diff]]? The function has a bug: in function <code>_deepCopy</code>, the three occurrences of <code>deepcopy</code> should be <code>_deepCopy</code>. If the function has never been used, perhaps it should be deleted? I see the documentation mentions that it has some benefits over mw.clone, but I don't think functions should be included in this massively used module unless they are needed by established modules. Also, there has to be some kind of testcase for each function. Searching shows there are a few modules using their own deepcopy functions, but I can't find any trying to use this one. Please don't fix the bug yet because if the module is to be changed, the proposed changes should be in the sandbox for a week or so to give others a chance to tweak things. There are a couple of comment inelegancies that might be fixed if the module is updated. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 04:02, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
: I have no objections to deleting the functionality. Kind of embarassing that I made a mistake like that when editing a highly-visible module. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 04:42, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
