Adding a link to the page on the other language wiki[edit source]
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 "{{#if:{{{2|}}}|at {{ill-2|{{{1|}}}|{{{2}}}}}|}}." to the display text. Lotje2 06:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I think this suggestion is a very good idea. You should go ahead and make this change. --Steve (talk| contribs) 12:56, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Fixing spacing[edit source]
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 at also started against the previous text. I didn't want to use a non-breaking space ( ) and found the best alternative is two thin spaces ( ). --Steve (talk| contribs) 16:26, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Positioning and size of this template[edit source]
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). I think there is merit in this suggestion, but wanted to open a discussion with others before going ahead with the change. Would do you think about reducing the overall size and about the suggestion that the template be reposition to the end of an article? --Steve (talk| contribs) 13:20, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Examples of what my thinking is:
 | It has been requested that this article be translated and added to all the Non-English versions of Research Wiki. |
or for a particular language and page title
| It has been requested that this article be translated and added to the Spanish FamilySearch Research Wiki at Foros de FamilySearch. |
