Template talk:Jewish Encyclopedia

message: I just created :de:Template:JewishEncyclopedia. I'm not sure if I did everyting correctly as this was the first template I translated. Is there a way to create an "in other languages" link? It doesn't work with de:Template:JewishEncyclopedia or any other non-colonized variants. — Sebastian 21:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  German translation 

message: Although I have altered the template code and the documentation. It is not my intention to break the usage as has been previously used. Therefore taking the example in the old documentation:
 * 
It still produces:
* 
The major change that I have made is that the template is now a wrapper around the  template. This means that it will work with short citations just as  does. Because  places a full stop at the end of the template the previous trailing string about PD source would not look correct so now all the information is in the preceding string. This has been done for quite a few of the templates in the :Category:Attribution templates.
The other major visual change (apart from the removal postscript) is an icon at the start of the prescript. This can be turned off with "noicon=1". It is there to show readers and editors of a wikipdia article that the original either resides on Wikisource or somewhere else on the net as a public domain article.

thread_title:  Expansion 

message: The "accessdate" parameter has been renamed "access-date" in most templates. I think this template should also support both options. Debresser (talk) 21:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

replies: text:  it is academic because there is no reason to use it as, all usage ought to have a date. The disadvantage of including it is it complicates the code. -- PBS (talk) 06:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: From WP:CITE "For web-only sources with no publication date, the 'Retrieved' date (or the date you accessed the webpage) should be included, in case the webpage changes in the future. For example:  or you can use the accessdate parameter in the automatic Wikipedia:refToolbar 2.0 editing window feature." --This encyclopaedia has publication dates. -- PBS (talk) 09:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  That page also says: "Citations for World Wide Web pages typically include: ... the date you retrieved (or accessed) the webpage (required if the publication date is unknown)", which confirms what I know from my experience, that access-date is customarily added to web citations, even if a date is also added. The line you quoted adds to that, that when the date is not given, you should add the access-date. The template code will not become significantly more complicated if the access-date parameter is added. Nor should that be a factor, really. In view of this, do you still see any reason to say the question is academic? Debresser (talk) 13:23, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The publication date is known and included by default. It is not a web page but encyclopaedia page(s).  Complication in code should  always be considered. -- PBS (talk) 15:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  You are missing the point. The template already has the "accessdate" parameter. The question is just that we should add support for "access-date" with the dash as well. The same is true for "archiveurl" and "archivedate", which have been renamed to "archive-url" and "archive-date". This should be completely trivial. Debresser (talk) 23:48, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Access-date 

message: Even if not yet documented in the current article (oldid 820842043), the template supports parameters like "author" and "author2", as shown in Judah ibn Verga#References. 
This allows users to the exact attribution of the articles of the Jewish Encyclopedia to the related authors, as it is done by the linked website jewishencyclopedia.com.
Maybe useful to add those two parameters in the section titled "Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)". Hope to hear some comments.Have a good day.Micheledisaveriosp (talk) 14:34, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Authors' attribution 

message: In this edit in 2016 you introduced a message in red if the article name is not indicated. Apart from the fact that you never updated the documentation page to indicate that a "title" (including "wstitle", "article") parameter is mandatory, I want to raise the question if indeed this should be the case. I am talking not about Template:Cite Jewish Encyclopedia, rather about Template:Jewish Encyclopedia, which is only stating the fact that a certain publication is used, and for that purpose it is not relevant which article. In addition, if a certain Wikipedia article uses more than one Jewish Encyclopedia article, then the situation because completely ambiguous, which of them should be mentioned (or perhaps the template should be added twice). In short, I strongly feel that in Template:Jewish Encyclopedia the article parameter is better left out. Debresser (talk) 03:54, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
