[edit] Title parameter
It would be nice if this template supported an optional title parameter, for cases where the commonscat has an unfortunate name. For example, Generic Mapping Tools would really benefit from a link to the commons category commons:Category:GFDL-GMT. But using this template one is stuck with text explicity referring to the rather ungainly GFDL-GMT. Would it be possible to add a parameter to allow us to override the display name of the link in circumstances like these (perhaps using markup like {{commonscat|GFDL-GMT|Generic Mapping Tools}})? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 12:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- You can already change the target, e.g. {{Commonscat|GFDL-GMT}}, but this changes the visible text as well. Is that what you wanted? If not, I suggest you add {{editprotected}} to this talk page, along with the exact change you want made to the template page, i.e. the code as well as the result. That'll make it easier and hopefully quicker as well. SeventyThree(Talk) 05:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] surprising interaction with images
In the course of adding another image to Fremont Bridge (Portland), I discovered a peculiar side effect of {{Commonscat}}. I intended the image appear midway down the left side (as in the present article version), but putting [[Image:Fremont bridge pedal 1230.jpeg | thumb | left]] in the middle of the article mysteriously showed the thumb at the bottom left.
After several confused attempts, I surrendered and placed it at the top left as that seemed the only other place allowed. Another article did it correctly somehow, so that led to determining {{Commonscat}} "drags" all images below it (in the wikitext) to the bottom of the article. Is this intentional? If so, perhaps the template page could mention the recommended placement of the template reference. — EncMstr 05:25, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] de:Vorlage:Commons2 has been deleted
de:Vorlage:Commons2 has been deleted --84.137.17.88 12:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks - I presume it has now been replaced with de:Vorlage:Commonscat so I've updated the interwiki link to use that. -- Solipsist 13:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What is the purpose of this template?
See title. Simply south 21:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- The template links to a corresponding Wikimedia Commons category, which may have further pictures, video, etc. for the topic at hand. It's usually placed in a "See also" or "External links" section from what I've seen. Carl Lindberg 17:03, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Different size than Template:Commons
The size of the images is just a bit different, you don't even see it if you don't see the templates next to eachother. But for the perfectionists among us... maybe the size could be made the same. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bart v M (talk • contribs) 15:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
