There is a proposal to convert this template to use {{ navbox}}. Please feel free to join in the discussion here. — hike395 ( talk) 04:20, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
To editor The Transhumanist: not for anything, but your recent rename of this template from "Quaternary footer" makes it different from its associated navbars: {{ Period navbars}}. Do you think they all should be renamed? Paine Ellsworth put'r there 11:26, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
{{PAGENAME}}
", that allows automated use of articles, templates, categories, portals, and so on, that share the same title (other than namespace). A similar magic word in
WP:AWB is also useful only when the titles match. At the Portals WikiProject, we were able to create 2600 portals using a creation template that calls various components based on their matching titles, using {{PAGENAME}}
. For example, in the wikicode of
Portal:Judo, {{PAGENAME}}
translates to "Judo", and is used throughout the page to transclude the lead from
Judo, pull the links out of
Template:Judo, display a cattree of
Category:Judo, and set the page's category to that as well.I would suggest keeping the word "footer" in all of these navbox names. Geological period navboxes tend to be misused by editors, being placed on inappropriate articles or in odd places in good articles. Having a name that describes the usage is helpful to minimize misuse. — hike395 ( talk) 10:36, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
It's no surprise that I am confused by this. Another concern is "should we capitalize?" For example, it appears to be standard with these geological-period templates to uppercase "Period", "Era", "Eon" and so on. Should this template then be titled "Quaternary Period"? Perhaps an agreement can be made to use the root name followed by "footer", which in this case would be "{{ Quaternary Period footer}}" or "{{ Quaternary period footer}}"? Would one of those be acceptable to everyone? Paine Ellsworth put'r there 14:34, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
{{Quaternary footer}}
". So if
The Transhumanist agrees, then that is how we will proceed. If there is still no agreement, then I think we should revert the recent page rename and open a requested move to rename it "{{Quaternary period}}
".
