Steve, here is an example of how the template could look if we added the ability to point to a page on another wiki. The example below was created by adding <nowiki>"{{#if:{{{2|}}}|at {{ill-2|{{{1|}}}|{{{2}}}}}|}}."</nowiki> to the display text.

I noticed that the final full stop was separated from the sentence if only the first parameter was used. To fix this I moved the new code right up against the previous text, but then found that when the second parameter was used, that the new text within the parameter starting with {{xt|at}} also started against the previous text. I didn't want to use a non-breaking space (<code>&nbsp;</code>) and found the best alternative is two thin spaces (<code>&thinsp;</code>). --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 16:26, 4 July 2012 (UTC) | |||

It has been suggested that this template be made smaller and added to the end of articles, so as to lessen it's visual impact on the overall content of a page (see [[FamilySearch Wiki:Contributors Meeting 12 July 2012#Translation_request_template]]). I think there is merit in this suggestion, but wanted to open a discussion with others before going ahead with the change. | |||
Add your thoughts. What do you think about reducing the overall size and the suggestion that the template be repositioned to the end of an article? | Add your thoughts.

:I think what you have suggested is excellent. I will allow for "maintenance" kind of attention to those articles that are needed in other language wikis without detracting from the purpose of the articles. I hope others will chime in on this so that we make sure we understand the intended process and how the template helps. [[User:Lembley|Lise]] 13:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
