The soon-to-come third version of the usability extension, Citron, will be able to collapse templates in the edit window: http://usability.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Updated_Citron_templa… The problem with this approach is that sometimes collapsing is harmful to the readability of the wikitext. For example, huwiki has a template which looks like this: "Water is generally thought to be wet, {{citation needed|text=though some argue it is actually dry}}." That is, it can be used to select a specific part of the text and mark it as problematic. There are many similar templates which annotate a section of the text without breaking its flow; of you collapse the template, the text becomes much harder to read. The reason I'm asking about this is that we're just about to reorganize some template parameter naming conventions, and would like to consider future compatibility with Citron, and the only solution to the above problem I can think of is to have a whitelist of template parameter names whose values will be visible even in a collapsed state. (Being able to define such parameters with per-template settings would be more flexible, but I suppose it is very expensive to do so.) So, is there a chance Citron will have such a feature in the future and there is value in giving all such parameters a common, distinctive, non-numeric name? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
