message: Can we add a parameter similar to the one that can be used with ? In other words, if the original link to the media article still works, but a link was added to the archived page anyways, then the main link would point to the original page. Paul (talk) 01:09, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

message: This template is used on talk pages to record instances of the articles being used as a source in the press. It apparently was originally used for coverage about WP and still has vestiges of the old usage. The template creates a link (labeled "details") to Wikipedia:Press coverage 2018. This should be changed to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a press source 2018 (for the current year).
The documentation includes:
This can be removed entirely as I don't see how it is currently applicable; no reason to update the link.
The whole template should probably be renamed from  to  to avoid confusion. MB 19:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: We would need to establish consensus here for adding a  parameter to the template just like the one in citation templates as described at , and then we would make an  request here. I support the idea. Biogeographist (talk) 00:33, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Sounds reasonable to me. Should we use the text or the set of symbols with Template:Closed access, etc.?  talk 17:51, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I would recommend the symbols listed at , as in citation templates, as much more compact than "subscription required". Biogeographist (talk) 17:58, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

text: There's a discussion toward the end of the archive that would propose to remove this bad pass-through implementation of the cite templates and instead allow a list of citations to be added directly into the page of interest. I will look at implementing that personally... :) --Izno (talk) 19:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

message: It has been reported in many press articles that the Russian government blocked Wikipedia because of the ru.wiki article corresponding to Cannabis smoking. This is described at Censorship of Wikipedia#Russia. Can the Press template be applied on the en.wiki talkpage? ☆ Bri (talk) 23:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't use  on Talk:Cannabis smoking to reference an article about the ru.wiki article, since the different language wikis are separate projects. Often the article content is very different between different language projects, so they are not the same article unless one was translated from the other and has not been considerably altered.

message: In the usage of this template at Talk:Taiwan, the first news article listed displays an error saying "author has generic name". Help:CS1 errors#generic name says the solution to this is to use the |author-link= parameter to link the author's Wikipedia article, instead of including the link within the |author= parameter. However, it seems like you can't do this with the Press template because it doesn't support the author-link parameter, even though the underlying  template does. Would it be possible to add support for this parameter to the Press template so that this error can be resolved? Thanks. – numbermaniac 15:02, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The way this template is currently coded, basically replicating all the parameters in , is a horrible way to do it, and is guaranteed to lead to issues like this. I'd suggest we re-code it to instead rely on Module:Template wrapper.  talk 21:34, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
