Template talk:Scholia-inline

Template-protected edit request on 29 December 2021
Greetings and felicitations. While I have the permission(s) to edit the template, I do not know how to make this change. Would some please be so kind as to add a small version of the logo (this one: ) to the template, as is the case with the Commons-inline template? (I've made the example Scolia logo the same size as the Commons logo in its inline template.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 05:57, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sandboxed, and if this is what you would like to do, then it can go live.  P.I. Ellsworth &numsp;- ed.  put'r there 18:46, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * it is noted that you haven't made the change nor responded. Is there anything I can do to help?  P.I. Ellsworth &numsp;- ed.  put'r there 14:11, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry—I didn't realize that you had commented. (I'm afraid I only very rarely check my watchlist.)  Yes, that is precisely what I was looking for—thank you. ^_^ —DocWatson42 (talk) 14:33, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Can this please not be done? The template is used inside references (not really sure that it adds anything of value there), e.g. in Buller's moth (currently ref 3), and having an image added inside that reference to give emphasis to Scholia seems overkill. Fram (talk) 14:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Does this template even work? From e.g. Epstein–Barr virus, I get links to Wikidata (ok), here and here. This happened on different pages (I removed it from some pages thinking it was page dependent, but now it seems to be a template issue). Fram (talk) 14:42, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * okay then:, looks like there is a need for more discussion and to work toward a consensus if necessary before adding the image to this template. I tested the sandbox version (in preview) at both Buller's moth and at Epstein–Barr virus, and while it looked pretty good in the latter's Ext. links section, it didn't really look so good when installed inside a reference citation as it is at Buller's moth. Fram, this template works okay, but it looks like some editors are mistaking it for the non-inline version at template Scholia, which operates differently. The "topic" parameter in that template uses the article title to generate a box on the right side of a page, while this inline template does not use "topic" in the first parameter and instead uses the Wikidata Q number. I fixed the link on the Epstein–Barr page. It's an easy fix, so you might want to consider fixing the links rather than removing them.  P.I.

 * Thanks, but while it now technically works at Epstein-Barr, it doesn't seem to belong there: "Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries" (repeated ad nauseam), "This query yielded no results." (idem)... The only thing it gives are "Wikipedia mentions", for which we already have a "what links here" function. So I'ld rather remove it than have it fixed. Fram (talk) 17:21, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Your call. It's only transcluded 13 times, unlike the box template that's transcluded 2229 times.  P.I. Ellsworth &numsp;- ed.  put'r there 18:04, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Should work with no parameter, like the main template
I think this template should be made to work without a parameter, much like Scholia can do. —  void  xor  16:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
