When you use {{Cite Q}}, you need to ensure that the citation style remains consistent with the original. At Arbanitis, for example, the style for the authors was "LAST, FIRST/INITIALS", and this should be maintained. I do agree that the "et al." needs expanding, but this should be done by over-riding the Wikidata formatting of the authors' names. I personally think this is always required; how else can we ensure consistency?
Peter coxhead (
talk)
10:18, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Peter coxhead, Thanks, Peter. Consistency is good. However, when subsequent authors are excluded (using options available in Cite Q), one loses the automatic linking to author (which happens when an author string is converted to an author and when someone writes an article about the author). I like the subsequent linking of authors directly to their work which comes about automatically when using cite Q. When you suppress the multiple authors (far prettier) you lose the automatic linking when someone later does an author disambiguation or writes an article for the author. When there is a pre-existing article for an author, then one can use the authorlink parameter. However, when no article has been written for an author there is no way that someone "correcting" the cite Q can automatically ensure linkage. Thus, for me consistency comes at a terrible cost to Wikipedia.
MargaretRDonald (
talk)
05:06, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
I don't at all suggest suppressing all the authors; I never do this. What is needed at present, in every case in my view, is to explicitly include all the author names within the use of {{Cite Q}} to ensure that the style always remains consistent with the article's existing style, regardless of what happens at Wikidata. Ideally, as has been discussed before, there needs to be some way within {{Cite Q}} to force a particular author/editor name style, in a similar way in which templates like {{Use dmy dates}} force the citation templates to use a particular style for dates.
Peter coxhead (
talk)
08:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks,
Peter coxhead, However it is not about suppressing author names. The reversion you made in Arbanitis meant that Graham Wishart and Rowell will not pop up as author links when articles for these authors are written, without someone going explicitly to Arbanitis and making an edit to create an author link. (As do the changes I made after your reversion). It is this capacity for the future links that makes me desire to use cite Q. If in article is close to FA, then I would probably probably agree with you on the issue of consistency. (And I agree with you. It would be great if wikimedia put some more money into the development of cite Q to deal with this issue.)
