Forum:Storylink template

Forums: Index → Community Proposal → Storylink template

Hi, I'm from over at TFWiki.net: the Transformers Wiki, and I have a suggestion for you guys. I've noticed that you cite all your fiction sources at the bottom of the article. Over at tfwiki, we have a {{storylink}} template. It works like this: {{storylink|whatever you're referencing}}. This will put a small box like thing after your information, stating where the info you're putting in comes from. I realize that implementing this system will take a hell of a lot of time, but it's just a suggestion. You can click here to see it in action. Thanks for your time, guys! -- Spdyer 19:53, 8 November 2012 (EST)

While the template is neat, I think Halopedia's best interest would be to stick with the way we've always cited sources. It would take an awful long time to completely change from one method to another with the amount of articles we currently have. Thanks for the suggestion.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 16:55, 10 November 2012 (EST)

I wouldn't mind a wikipedia-style referencing system where holding the cursor over the footnote icon brings up a small textbox. Rather than reformatting the articles, it would be an edit to the code itself, and should be implemented on all referenced articles. Not saying we need to, but if we're thinking of any changes this would be my suggestion. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 19:17, 10 November 2012 (EST)

That's what I thought also, but you're welcome anyway. -- Spdyer 00:38, 11 November 2012 (EST)
