Template talk:R:itc:EDL


 * I want to write the documentation page, but I can't figure out how to use the "entry" parameter. Could you give a hand? --Barytonesis (talk) 01:39, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Better? — JohnC5 01:25, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks. --Barytonesis (talk) 18:09, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Move

 * Can we move this to R:itc:EDL, while retaining this as an alias? --Victar (talk) 19:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That's ok with me. —Rua (mew) 19:09, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Done! --Victar (talk) 19:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I moved it back to R:De Vaan 2008. The people who prefer no lang prefix are as many as those who do, from what I remmber. --Dan Polansky (talk) 22:26, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , why did you move it back? Also, without pinging anyone. You could have still used the old name as it still works as an alias. --Victar (talk) 16:24, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That works both ways: those who prefer R:itc:EDL can use it as an alias. Again, the people who prefer no lang prefix for reference templates are as many as those who prefer lang prefix, from what I remember. However, I have no objections to the template being moved to R:EDL if that is what people prefer. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:51, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * In any case there should be  in it, as it treats Italic languages. Lang prefixes help autocompletion too, so when I type   into the search bar I see the complete template names of references dealing with Arabic and starting with F. In no case there should be reference templates   + a three-letter acronym because such a name lacks distinctive character. One recognizes what  is, because HJP in the context of Serbo-Croatian means Hrvatski jezični portal. Without this connection ”HJP” could mean anything. R:HJP is a terrible-terrible template name. Don’t create such templates.
 * I deny that there are people short of you who prefer no lang prefix. That’s just a reactionary reminiscence of the past when there was disorder of template names. Fay Freak (talk) 15:20, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no need to deny anything or write inflammatory posts like the one above; there was a Beer parlour discussion about this, but I cannot find it now. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:00, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * , I'm going to move this back to R:itc:EDL. It's what the people who use this template, like myself, prefer. If you wish to continue using R:De Vaan 2008 as an alias, or even R:EDL, you can do so. --Victar (talk) 15:23, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
