Hi, SMcCandlish. In this edit of {{ para/doc}}, you added a link to species:template:para, saying "it's for update propagation." But 1. does this link really enable propagation, by bots or something automatic? 2. It is visible in {{ para}} page itself. Could you fix it? Thanks in advance. -- Ahora ( talk) 12:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I love Cite4Wiki and have used it hundreds of times. I would like for it to be better developed. I am not a developer and am not sure how I could help, but the tool has been very valuable to me and I am not sure how I could replace it if it were gone. Thoughts?

This edit explains how to write "ca.", which is still discouraged at MOS:#Abbreviations, WP:YEAR, WP:SMOS#Abbreviations, and maybe MOS:DOB, and after you must have read my complaint and ordeal at WT:Manual of Style/Abbreviations#Circa. Either allow "ca." or don't allow "ca.", I don't care which, but do it consistently. Art LaPella ( talk) 15:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I guess I'm more looking for advice here than anything. You undid the expandable animal list in this article. The original reasoning for this technique was to avoid having a list that completely dominates the article, which is supposed to be an article, not a list. Several other techniques have been used by various editors, including just deleting the list and creating a separate list article. Where someone has had the time, the lists have been shortened to just the "notable" animals and turned into part of the narrative (which I consider the best solution because these lists are almost never sourced and are often modified someone who says "I saw X at the zoo"). In any case, long lists are discouraged as is hidden content. If you have any more insight on the best way to handle such lists let me know. There are a lot of articles that I have handled in this manner so that they look more like articles than lists, and I don't really have the short term time to go convert all of them to narrative even if I consider that the long term ideal. Thank you. Don Lammers ( talk) 15:11, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
