This may be rather pedantic, but couldn't we do:

Seems like it's the same thing, only simpler and more consistent. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It is not pedantic at all. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my code. It's always good to have a second pair of eyes, and I am always amenable to improvements.


 * In answer to your question, the replacement of  with   will not work because the Wiki template engine makes a distinction between undefined parameters and empty parameters.  Because there is a third unnamed parameter to this template,   will be defined as an empty string if it's left empty in the call, and in these cases   will be rendered as an empty string and not as.


 * There are ways around this (e.g. forcing the parameter to be specified; giving names to parameter 3 and 4), but they all involve adding complexity to the calling (paradigm) template, which is the main thing we are trying avoid. --maikxlx (talk) 11:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Huh. Quite right.  Nevermind then. :-)  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 11:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

You may want to consider wrapping the self-reference in ['s, rather than ' bolding: this produces &lt;strong class="selflink"> which can then controlled/modified in CSS for presentation of references to the same page, rather than just &lt;b> which can't be distinguished from other bolding.

Could look like this:

#|

(don't try to put the # inside the conditional, you'll get an odd side effect ;-) Robert Ullmann 08:22, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
