Glossary templates question
Hi. I've recently been learning about and implementing the glossary templates at a few articles, and am greatly appreciative. So first off, thanks! (They've been happily received at Glossary of chess and Glossary of chess problems, and nobody has objected to them at Glossary of botanical terms.)

There's a complication at Glossary of ancient Roman religion, where, the editors are very receptive to the possibilities, but are wondering if it's possible to retain the per-entry [edit] links, that they currently enjoy from having each entry in a ====sub-header====. Any suggestions? -- Quiddity (talk) 04:23, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I think these modes of layout are going to be fundamentally incompatible. An HTML heading cannot be inside a DL glossary list item, or vice versa. I would not be surprised, however, if someone has implemented some template somewhere to put an "edit" link on things other than H# headings, perhaps on DIVs or any block element.  Something like that could work.  If not yet, it surely can be done, but might have to be done at the MediaWiki developers level, since it's something that will require back-end Javascript.  Maybe ask on Village pump (technical)? — SMcCandlish    Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  05:47, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * PS: The last sentence of Template:Edit section explains what the problem is. We'd need a way to forcibly generate a MediaWiki page section number on a per-block basis, or there's nothing for the   code to refer to. Small price, really; it's not that hard to edit the "J" section instead of the "Jupiter" entry.  If the entries are so incredibly detailed and long that this  a problem, then template-structured glossary markup isn't a good idea anyway, and the entries really should be sections. — SMcCandlish    Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  05:56, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * PPS: I've raised the issue at Village pump (technical). — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  06:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Much thanks, particularly for the detailed explanation. I'll leave the decision up to that page's primary editors, and if they choose not to use the templates now, perhaps revisit the decision in a year or two, or if FL status is sought. Enjoy the rest of your vacation (shooo!) -- Quiddity (talk) 06:18, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

TfD for new Cite_web/smart
I am contacting you, per wp:CANVAS, after contacting other negative or positive editors, as a user previously opposed to quick, fast citation templates, in considering the latest TfD discussion. In this case, the template {Cite_web/smart} is finally the big upgrade to entirely replace {Cite_web} with a faster version that carefully checks the parameters to only invoke the massive {Citation/core} for any rare parameters, else quickly formats a cite. See TfD of 11 August 2012:
 * WP:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_August_11

This notice is only an FYI, as announcing the discussion under way. Feel free to oppose the template, support the template, ignore the discussion, or even delete this message. The TfD just started, so there should be, at least, 7 days (18 August 2012) to consider the issues. Thanks. -Wikid77 (talk) 21:38, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Cite4Wiki and Highbeam
Hello, I was wondering if you're still working on cite4wiki? If you are, would it be possible to update it to recognize it's on a highbeam.com URL? They have a few meta tags that include all the information needed for a cite. It would be very helpful. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 05:36, 13 August 2012 (UTC)


 * User_talk:MarkAHershberger was talking about porting it over to a JetPack codebase, but I'm not sure where that's gone. I've dropped him a line about it.  I haven't touched Cite4Wiki since that discussion was raised.  If it's not going to be ported, it could certainly be updated to do something special on Highbeam, but you don't have to wait for me. Just open the add-on (rename it with a .zip extension and it will unzip), and edit the rules file yourself. It's pretty much self-explanatory if you look at the extant examples. Then zip it back up, and rename the extension back, and restart the browser. — SMcCandlish    Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  05:52, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
