Template talk:Commons-inline/Archive 1

Changed 'at' to 'on'
I changed the word 'at' to 'on' to better clarify that the media is about x topic. I understand that the original meaning indicated that the items could be found in (or at) x category or x article but I think that the text change more clearly describes that more info on x topic can be found on the Wikimedia Commons site.

Question with regards to this template and the non-inline template
According to MoS on Wikimedia sister projects, "common interproject link targets have standardized templates which allow them to be easily distinguished from normal external links, and these templates should generally be used". However, when I randomly pick articles that use this template, they appear on external links area and looks too similar that unless you really look for them, you thought it is an external link. Doesn't this template violate MoS then? Honestly, the box design looks much more distinct and comprehensible than inline, and the box design has been there long before inline was created.

Deletion ?!?
Are you joking ? This template is necessary for alignment in some pages... And WHY don't you create the section (for articles) OTHER PROJECTS for other wikimedia projects ? Could be they considered simply as "external links" ? I don't think so, they are part of the body of Wikimedia, not simply external (external) links as official sites, touristic sites, myspace, spam... External ? Internal ! Please, reform these policy instead to delete this template. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.17.247.60 (talk) 16:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Template without the word "Media" ?
Is there a related inline template (or workaround) ? -- πϵρήλιο  ℗  11:08, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Explanatory note needed at the top.
This should be a version of the one at the other template: "This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons, containing a gallery of related media. Note that it does not link to a Commons category, which will give a larger selection of media; for that use Template:Commons category." Also we should have the bit with a usage figure.
