Are you talking about me? It's quite disrespectful
to misspell someone's
name.
Yes, sorry. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I mistyped.
{{Commonscat|Cultural heritage monuments in
Lombardy|etichetta=Patrimonio culturale in Lombardia}} (see the
Lombardy list page[1]).
but the template is deprecated[2] on it.wiki, is maintained for
compatibily (it may be bot-substituted). Also, if you look at the
page[3] the second parameter is ignored (so the compatibility is not
complete).
That's an easy fix. Just pass along the parameter to the other template.
Yes, I understand that it's a problem that could be easily fixed, and
I have asked for a change of the template, which is protected since it
is deprecated, to solve the problem, but as I said in a previous
e-mail the discussion[*] on it.wiki stalled. Very shortly, my request
to change the template was rejected because the template is
deprecated.
The template
in use on it.wiki is {{interprogetto}}[4].
That's incompatible with the bots at the moment. You can change it to the
other template, but that means you loose the functionality. I suggest you
file a bug to get it implemented. I don't plan on doing it, but you might be
lucky and someone else implements it. Probably the hardest part is to build
an overview of these multivalue templates and the fields these templates are
using.
Yes, I also know that (and you already told me, I think on IRC, that
you were not going to implement support for {{interprogetto}} or any
templates other than {{commoncat}}), I also understand that using
different templates on different wikis will add a big overhead to the
process with very little benefit, and myself I would better use
commonscat everywhere, the main problem on it.wiki being the fact
that {{commonscat}} is deprecated.
And yes again, as you said probably the best thing to do is to prepare
a list of these templates and see where they are used, to see how many
wikis will benefit from such a modification before implementing it. In
the discussion it.wiki it was pointed out that {{commonscat}} is
deprecated also on fr.wiki[+] and on en.wiki is a redirect to
{{Commons category}}[°].
That said, Maarten, I didn't want to sound harsh in my previous email,
the templates you added to the lists were indeed a solution (and if I
have not thanked you for that, then I have forgotten to do so)
although it is not a definitive solution for it.wiki since the
deprecation of the template (and also the bug with the parameter).
I hope this is clearer than the previous email.
Ciao,
Cristian
