I just created de:Template:JewishEncyclopedia. I'm not sure if I did everyting correctly as this was the first template I translated. Is there a way to create an "in other languages" link? It doesn't work with de:Template:JewishEncyclopedia or any other non-colonized variants. — Sebastian 21:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC) (I stopped watching this page. If you would like to continue the talk, please do so here and ping me.)
Although I have altered the template code and the documentation. It is not my intention to break the usage as has been previously used. Therefore taking the example in the old documentation:
* {{Jewish Encyclopedia
|article=Atonement
|url=http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=2092&letter=A#6426
|author=[[Kaufmann Kohler]]
}}
It still produces:
The major change that I have made is that the template is now a wrapper around the {{
cite encyclopaedia}} template. This means that it will work with short citations just as {{
cite encyclopaedia}} does. Because {{
cite encyclopaedia}} places a full stop at the end of the template the previous trailing string about PD source would not look correct so now all the information is in the preceding string. This has been done for quite a few of the templates in the
Category:Attribution templates.
The other major visual change (apart from the removal postscript) is an icon at the start of the prescript. This can be turned off with "noicon=1". It is there to show readers and editors of a wikipdia article that the original either resides on Wikisource or somewhere else on the net as a public domain article. -- PBS ( talk) 07:55, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

?Thank you for the link, but I fail to see how it answers any of the questions I have posed to you. Are you going to engage in a productive conversation or continue to bring up things not directly relevant to the edit? Do you consider yourself to be a "very experienced template editor"? -- PBS ( talk) 20:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
@ PBS and Debresser: Thank you both for your efforts to improve this template. As part of my work to clean up Wikipedia:Database reports/Polluted categories, I run across templates such as this that are on user sandbox pages and categorize them in article categories. I believe you agree that it is appropriate to make some edit to this template to prevent miscategorization. I use {{ main other}} because it is easy for me to remember and type. Since I am an inexperienced template editor, could you please help me understand if Is there an advantage or disadvantage to using #ifex instead of {{ main other}}? Thanks!

The "accessdate" parameter has been renamed "access-date" in most templates. I think this template should also support both options. Debresser ( talk) 21:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
@ PBS: Why was this necessary addition never made? Debresser ( talk) 03:54, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Even if not yet documented in the current article (oldid 820842043), the template supports parameters like "author" and "author2", as shown in Judah ibn Verga#References.
This allows users to the exact attribution of the articles of the Jewish Encyclopedia to the related authors, as it is done by the linked website jewishencyclopedia.com.
Maybe useful to add those two parameters in the section titled "Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)". Hope to hear some comments.Have a good day. Micheledisaveriosp ( talk) 14:34, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
@ PBS: In this edit in 2016 you introduced a message in red if the article name is not indicated. Apart from the fact that you never updated the documentation page to indicate that a "title" (including "wstitle", "article") parameter is mandatory, I want to raise the question if indeed this should be the case. I am talking not about Template:Cite Jewish Encyclopedia, rather about Template:Jewish Encyclopedia, which is only stating the fact that a certain publication is used, and for that purpose it is not relevant which article. In addition, if a certain Wikipedia article uses more than one Jewish Encyclopedia article, then the situation because completely ambiguous, which of them should be mentioned (or perhaps the template should be added twice). In short, I strongly feel that in Template:Jewish Encyclopedia the article parameter is better left out. Debresser ( talk) 03:54, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
