Colon

I think the colon should go. In prose writing, a colon separating (in this case) "related to" and the object is not accepted. Drmies (talk) 21:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

You got that right! Rich Farmbrough, 02:05, 7 May 2012 (UTC).(Using some automation)

It's a job for {{Commons}} though. Rich Farmbrough, 14:31, 7 May 2012 (UTC).(Using some automation)

Cat for empty parameter 1

I propose to track uses of this template that don't have an explicit Commons category set. The purpose is to prevent page moves from changing a valid use to an invalid use, by filling in the parameter 1. Code is in the sandbox. You can try it in the newly created testcases page.

Should we be doing the same to {{Commons category-inline}}? Keith D (talk) 19:48, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Wrong edit

Maybe this made it wrong? Newone (talk) 16:52, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

What is wrong? Keith D (talk) 23:58, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Reverted the doc on "use colon"

I reverted the doc which claimed "use colon to put this template all by itself". Simply you can stash it in the last section, regardless of the presence of the "external links" section, as written in WP:SIS#Where to place links. Or, you can use {{commons-inline}} like:

• Media related to Polar bears at Wikimedia Commons

Why italics?

Why is the category rendered in italics? (I think this occurs in {{Commons}}.) {{Commons-inline}}, IMO correctly, doesn't do that. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 24 April 2013: Check Wikidata errors

{{edit protected}} I'd like to add a snippet of code that would check for errors in the data stored on Wikidata. This won't change the page text in anyway, besides adding a tracking category. This would have the benefit of correcting errors that are present on Wikidata as well as errors that may exist here on the English Wikipedia. Wikidata data was imported from multiple wikis, so by identifying these errors, we can potentially correct them on multiple wikis extremely easily.

{{#if: {{#property:P373}} | {{#ifeq: {{#property:P373}} | {{#if:x| {{{1| {{PAGENAME}} }}} }} | | [[Category:Articles where the Commons category differs from Wikidata]] }}

I haven't created this category yet, so if the accepting admin could create it and add {{hiddencat}} to it. Legoktm (talk) 09:58, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm test driving this on the Dutch Wikipedia. It's a bit more extensive. It adds 5 possible categories:

1. Local link same as link on Wikidata (1 is set). Good! At some point in the future we want to remove the local contents (move to 3)
2. Local link different as link on Wikidata (1 is set). Need fix!
3. Local page title same as link on Wikidata (1 is not set). Good! All done
4. Local page title different as link on Wikidata (1 is not set). Need fix!
5. No link on Wikidata, we need to import something

You might want to wait a bit until we got all the bugs out of it and just copy that code. Multichill (talk) 20:07, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Wow great. Sounds like a good idea :) Legoktm (talk) 02:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Very nice idea, I like it! -- Duesentrieb-formerly-Gearloose (?!) 12:24, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
