How do you link to non-english pages? I tried s:XX:article and XX:s:article where XX represents the two-letter country-code but it didn't work.-- Adoniscik. Could you add another field for the language, and default it to English? ( talk) 19:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC) reply

I was wondering how to link to foreign wikisources as well. Even if best practice demands English wikisources, there are occasions when it's useful to link to foreign ones. Singinglemon ( talk) 17:20, 9 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Both {{ws|''[[s:de:Die araner mundart|Die araner mundart]]'' at German Wikisource}} and {{ws|''[[:de:s:Die araner mundart|Die araner mundart]]'' at German Wikisource}} correctly yield " Die araner mundart at German Wikisource." with a link to the German Wikisource. You can put either the s: or the XX: first, but be sure to use the double brackets to create the link; that isn't done automatically with this template. To link to a page at the multilingual Wikisource, type [[oldwikisource:Title]]. + An gr 12:26, 15 July 2009 (UTC) reply

{{ edit protected}} Shrink the icon from 15px to 12px. This has been done for {{ 1911}} and others and seems to allow it to fit in-line much more gracefully. I think a similar benefit would be realized here. Bob Burkhardt ( talk) 18:34, 28 September 2010 (UTC) Bob Burkhardt ( talk) 18:34, 28 September 2010 (UTC) reply

Thanks. Bob Burkhardt ( talk) 18:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC) reply

Catholic Encyclopedia is not the best example to use because it has its own dedicated template called {{ cite CE1913}} and it is much simpler to use:

{{cite CE1913|wstitle=The Knights Templars}}

returns

Herbermann, Charles, ed. (1913). "The Knights Templars" . Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company.

I have altered to use another example. -- PBS ( talk) 20:34, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Can a |ps= parameter be added to allow users to remove/replace the end period. – BoBoMisiu ( talk) 20:35, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply

 Done @ BoBoMisiu: I've added the |ps=no parameter to omit the period. Let me know if this is not what you were looking for. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:08, 1 July 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Xaosflux: yes, thank you. – BoBoMisiu ( talk) 13:29, 1 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Please copy sandbox to main.

Besides using a module, this improves the functionality of the template.

Now instead of giving...

{{Ws|[[s:Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019|Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019]]|ps=no}}

Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019

You can just give...

{{Ws|[[s:Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019]]|ps=no}}

s:Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019

And get the same result. Forcing the s: to appear (no one should ever want it to) is still possible, see Template:Ws/testcases. Psiĥedelisto ( talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 03:32, 4 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Oppose the change. If you know the pipe trick this should pose no problem. The question we should be asking, rather, is why [[s:...]] is required in the first place. Perhaps we should also reconsider |ps= when you can manually put a period after the template. At any rate Lua is overkill. Nardog ( talk) 03:41, 4 July 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Nardog: Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act does work, would you look at that. What a waste of an hour. Psiĥedelisto ( talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 03:51, 4 July 2020 (UTC) reply

In case I wasn't clear, I don't see why what is now rendered by

{{ws|[[s:Ecclesiastical History of the English People|''Ecclesiastical History of the English People'']]|ps=no}}
{{ws|[[s:Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019|Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019]]}}

shouldn't be rendered by

{{ws|Ecclesiastical History of the English People|''Ecclesiastical History of the English People''}}
{{ws|Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019}}.

. If the intention of the previous construction is to allow things other than a simple link to a Wikisource page (as done in John of Gaunt#External links), then it's almost as if this template shouldn't be used or at best it should be done by e.g. {{ws}} with no parameters showing just the icon. Nardog ( talk) 04:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Psiĥedelisto:  Not done I agree with Nardog; this is unnecessary feature creep. Besides, converting templates to Lua shouldn't be done simply for its own sake, unless there's some strong need for the template to use Lua. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 14:46, 4 July 2020 (UTC) reply

It makes sense to add the parameter class=noviewer to the icon. See this discussion. -- Nachtbold ( talk) 20:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC) reply
