[edit] TfD
- This template was listed on templates for deletion, but there was no consensus to delete. See the log. Dan100 (Talk) 15:50, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Some may prefer Template:move2, which has only the first two arguments. Septentrionalis 18:46, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Trouble with :Image syntax
I suppose this template isn't often used for Images, but I just tried to use it, and of course I had to use the :Image notation so it wouldn't inline the image...but that broke the [[Talk:{{{3}}}]] link (by putting :: instead of :). I'm not savvy enough to fix the template to avoid this, but I thought I'd point it out. — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 00:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re [1]
- ...the talk page link should be featured, so people don't accidentally start a discussion on the WP:RM page. I also thing bolding both titles is easier to read.
No-one else seems perturbed, so I'm happy to let your preferences ride. Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 02:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I think that Mets501 format is better than David' alternative, but I would like to go back to the original format we went for when we moved from conversations on WP:RM to having the discussions on the talk page an: [[Talk:{{{1}}}]] — [[{{{1}}}]] → [[{{{2}}}]] – {{{3}}} because the link to the talk page is the most importand of the links, as it is where the discussion takes place. If this is done there is no need to emphasise any of the links with bolding. This format was originally reflected in this template (see first entry Revision as of 18:17, 30 May 2005 and lasted until it was changed earlier this year Revision as of 18:58, 28 March 2006. --Philip Baird Shearer 23:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move section
According to the {{Move}} template, a section should be created on the article's talk page with the title "Requested move". To make the "Discuss" link more accurate, I've added "#Requested move" to that parameter. As you know, if a link contains a section name that doesn't exist, the link goes to the top of the article. This won't hurt anything if the section is called something else (or isn't there at all), it will help when procedure has been followed correctly.—Chidom talk 21:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
