Richard & Paula,
Yes, this is related to the notice we were receiving last week about the Wikipedia Main page appearing out-of-date. This problem will solve itself over time.
 
How great to see this amazing progress though! Congrats on the work done. As I mentioned way back in my initial comments on the AfD for your list of 100 most notable works, I think this is a great idea, well within scope for Wikipedia, and a noble goal to strive for 100 articles on each painting. Go for it! If I have time I will chime in.
 
Hopefully your project will inspire other museums to produce such lists. As a sidenote, it's nice to see that the most recent addition to this list (added yesterday) links to my most recent article added yesterday that in turn links to another project posted here: Smarthistory. Cross-pollination of GLAM project articles - I LOVE IT!!

What's happening with that template is that the version appearing on the articles is a couple of weeks out of date.  All the red links that are blue when you look at the template directly are pages where the underlying link has been changed, even though the text displayed on the page is the same.

I'm guessing this is related to caching of template data in the aftermath of our server move over the last few days.  I'll post something at the Village Pump and see if we can get it sorted.

Richard, I'll take a look at the template and see what's going on.

The layout of that sort of template is pretty standard.  It's possible to add images, but with the wide range of screen sizes we're dealing with these days, I don't recommend it.

Hi all,

 

I wanted to take a minute to tell you a bit about the IMA e-Volunteer program, one that has been in place for a few years now.  Link here: http://www.imamuseum.org/support/volunteer

 

While there haven’t been a great number of people to work on it, there has been on outstanding e-Volunteer who has done a ton of work, Zambonia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zambonia).

 

As you can see on her user page she has created a huge number of high-quality articles about IMA artworks (and also spent a great deal of time researching the 100 most important artworks in the collection): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Most_Significant_Artworks_at_the_Indianapolis_Museum_of_Art  

 

Beyond just bragging about her work, I wanted to put a question to you all:

The Template seems to be broken … it is no longer showing blue links when it’s used as a template in an article, but when you see the template separately it shows blue links.

 

Thoughts? Can anyone fix this?

 

Example:

Aricle showing many links as red:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peasant_with_a_Wheelbarrow

 

The template showing many other links blue:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Indianapolis_Museum_of_Art_artworks

 

(Also if anyone had ideas or wanted to help make that Template look cooler, we’re all ears!)

 

Many thanks,

Richard
