[edit]

Add a single alternate option for wikisource below the existing entry where it reads

"| wikisource|source|ws|s = Works related to {{{links|}}} at Wikisource"

with the text of the option being

"| wikisource2|source2|ws2|s2 = The full text of {{{links|}}} at Wikisource"

to allow a specific inline link where the is only a single specific text on source and not a selection of sources related to a subject.

Sorry forgot to add that the line

"| wikisource|source|ws|s = Wikisource-logo.svg"

would need to become

"| wikisource|wikisource2|source|source2|ws|ws2|s|s2 = Wikisource-logo.svg"

The List could also be changed

"| wikisource|source|ws|s = Texts on Wikisource"

to

" | wikisource|wikisource2|source|source2|ws|ws2|s|s2 = Texts on Wikisource"

but this isn't necessary as long as it's documented that the wikisource2 option doesn't work with the list parameter Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, I'm not sure where to start with updating the documentation - it doesn't look very well documented already. Tra (Talk) 21:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

16x16 to 12x12

[edit]

I propose that the icon size is reduced from 16x16 to 12x12 so that the icon is about the same size as the default text size. -- PBS (talk) 17:34, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of Wikivoyage and Wikidata

[edit]

Please add the WMF's two newest projects, Wikivoyage and Wikidata. I have corrected the template on Template:Sister-inline/sandbox and the changes can be clearly seen here. As clarification, the following lines must be added:

to the first list of links
    | wikidata|data          = Wikidata-logo.svg
    | wikivoyage|voyage|voy  = Wikivoyage favicon.svg
to the second list of links
    | wikidata|data          = 
    | wikivoyage|voyage|voy  = Travel information on Wikivoyage
to the third list of links
    | wikidata|data          = 
    | wikivoyage|voyage|voy  = {{{links|}}} travel guide from Wikivoyage

Although not transcluded on any templates at the current time, there are plans to use them soon (ie, for Template:Wikivoyage-inline). Thanks in advance. JamesA >talk 12:21, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but the sandbox was not synchronised before you started editing it, so I can't copy it over. Can you take a look? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:16, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the confusion. You were right, there were some differences, but I've synchronised the template and readded the links, so it should be fine now. Thanks. JamesA >talk 01:23, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I've tried using this template to add inline links to Wikidata, as there doesn't appear to be a Template:wikidata-inline equivalent to Template:wikidata. However, despite using various combinations of parameters, all I get the wikidata logo, with no text and no link.

Can anybody advise on what combination of parameters I should use. Thanks. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 09:12, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can someone update the Wikivoyage logo? Thanks. Nick1372 (talk) 19:56, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undoing a revert regarding a valuable option regarding the text of inline sister links.

[edit]

I re-inserted a reverted edit after improving the accompanying example. Here's why I think it belongs:

Sometimes we need to override the default text of an inline sister link. This is likely to occur when a sister's namespace has a chaotic structure. A good example is Wikiversity, which has a complex set of subpages. Also, Wikiversity is full of student efforts, which also clutter up namespace. In the example provided, I made a link to a category which has an address in namespace that is not optimal for the inline text. The only reason I can see for not showing the example is that the pipe structure i.e., ''(namespace|title)'' is so obvious to editors that there is no need to mention it. But people who skim pages looking for this option might not notice the pipe structure. I thought an example would be nice here.--guyvan52 (talk) 23:39, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(the same person adds this on the next day:)

I am still not satisfied with the current choice of an example. The original (reverted) edit was:

{{sister-inline
|project=commons
|links=[[commons:Dog|Click here for a link to "Dog" on commons]]
|short=yes
}}

I suspect this was reverted because it seemed to endorse casual language in sister-links. But the current example involves the rather subtle issue regarding the word ":Category" in namespace titles, something that will not "jump out" at the reader. Perhaps this is better:

{{sister-inline
|project=commons
|links=[[commons:Dog|''Text-that-the-reader-sees'']]
|short=yes
}}

Text-that-the-reader-sees

Multiple extratext parameter used

[edit]

Hi,

If you search for extratext parameter, you will find three used. As the description this parameter, only would be exist after last switch. Wrong output at: at WikibooksTestTest (multiple 'Test' output) -- Alireza (talk) 15:17, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi All, there is a RFC on a topic of interest to this page at Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and navigation templates#RFC: Should Sister Project links be included in Navboxes.3F. Please join the conversation, and help us figure out the role of links to other Wikimedia Projects in Navboxes, Sadads (talk) 14:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can "|link=" be added so that the logo image does not link to its image page?

Thanks, NapoliRoma (talk) 21:23, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: It must be clickable to provide attribution for the images. — JJMC89(T·C) 22:15, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The Wikiversity logo was updated in 2017 to File:Wikiversity logo 2017.svg, but this template still uses File:Wikiversity-logo.svg. Please replace = Wikiversity-logo.svg with = Wikiversity logo 2017.svg. Thanks. GreenComputer (talk) 02:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Since Cookbooks is one of Wikibooks' two sub-projects, I think it should be referred to as Wikibooks' Cookbooks; for instance: Deviled egg at Wikibooks' Cookbooks. Does that sounds natural to native speakers? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 21:27, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Issues I have are that the subproject's name is "Cookbook" (sing.), not "Cookbooks" (pl.), and that the correct possessive style for singular nouns (isn't "Wikibooks" a singular noun?) ending in "s" might be "apostrophe s" ('s) as in Wikibooks's Cookbook, if we go by the MOS.

That sounds good as well. No opposition from me. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 09:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It has been reworded so that possessiveness is not needed. It's now "the Wikibooks Cookbook subproject". P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 03:07, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
