Template talk:Cv-unsure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template seems to not work. If I follow the instructions, I see:

[[69.140.173.15]] suspects that this article (specifically [{{{2}}} this version]) is a copyright violation, but without a source this can not be definitively determined. If this article can be shown to be a copyright infringement, please list the article on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. If you are certain that the article is not a copyright violation, you should give evidence below. Please do not remove this tag without discussion.

I have put the URL in question after the second | character, but it doesn't link properly. 69.140.173.15 03:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The instructions are wrong. You need to type 2= before the url because the equals sign in the url screws it up. Also it double links the sig--you should just type your username. I've left this unsubsted so you can click "edit this page" to see what I've done and that it works.

I went ahead and changed the instructions about the url. I think the template itself should be modified to prevent it trying to link my already linked sig. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed edit

I propose to change the portion of the template that says

(specifically <span class="plainlinks">[{{{2}}} this version]</span>)

to

{{ #if: {{{2|}}} | (specifically <span class="plainlinks">[{{{2}}} this version]</span>) |}}

in order to allow for the possibility that parameter 2 is empty. I hope this will get people to be more bold in using this tag. (If this will make more work for those who screen articles that are thus tagged, a compromise might be to leave the instructions unchanged.)
