Template talk:Commons and category

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sometimes articles have commons articles and categories about them. This is to incorporate both... it may nee some fidding with such as a second parameter since some cats will probably be in plurals. gren グレン 00:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's good. Just please spell things out. Some people, when they see "cat" will at first think you mean the animal, and not category. I fixed that mistake for you.--Fox Mccloud 20:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Add a label?

[edit]

Could a third field for a label please be added like: {{Commons+cat|Commons page|Commons category|label}}. The template uses the category name as the label, which may not be quite right in some cases. Similarly, the {{Commons}} template uses the second field for the label if present. Thanks. -Fnlayson (talk) 01:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

@Funandtrvl: Why did you add Special:Search to the category link? That makes the link a lot slower to load. Kaldari (talk) 17:10, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

because Template:Commons and several other templates also use it. In case there isn't an exact pagename match, it'll solve that problem. Of course, if you know of a code that will produce the same effect, within less time, please let me know and I'll be glad to update the template.
