Forum talk:Cite source, a new citation template
Current state of things[[edit source]]
Hi. I am very happy that the template has received such a warm reception and is now being rolled out. As expected, there are a number of issues that I've noticed or been sent off-wiki messages about (I was never going to have been able to catch everything in testing). However, I am on a somewhat unfortunately timed holiday without my computer so my editing capacity is limited. I'm getting through what I can but it will be over a week until I'm able to get everything fixed. In the meantime, I am very happy to receive bug reports and issues for any of the templates involved here, either on Template talk:Cite source, or (especially for critical issues ideally requiring quick attention) through an off-wiki channel like Discord (or you can send messages in both places at once).
I thought it would be fun to have an automatically updating pie chart showing usage of {{Infobox Story}} against {{Infobox Story SMW}} so here we go:
- {{Infobox Story}}: 2,541
- {{Infobox Story SMW}}: 8,163
As you can see, there’s quite a bit to go. When I’m back with my computer, I’m planning to try and automate this process with a bot. Until then, the slow rollout helps me spot issues and fix them before they become widespread. Bongo50 ☎ 18:59, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
