Commons

This template links a page to the article on the commons, containing the gallery of images related to the page. Use this template in the style '''. As can be seen in Sabrina Martins Whatlinkshere/Template:Pic, many articles use this template. I think it would be better to align the Commons categories with all other sister project templates, but shudder at the thought of making that many changes.

::: Many articles are using Abbey Diaz Template:Pic incorrectly. For some, the link goes to a non-existent page on Commons (as in Free ringtones Mumbai (Bombay)), and others link to a ''redirect'' at Commons (like Majo Mills Brown Bear does). Much better to eliminate those problems. Mosquito ringtone Netoholic/Netoholic Sabrina Martins User talk:Netoholic/@ 20:10, 2005 Jan 31

:::: Right. Well, amazingly, no objection on my part, but don't orphan it until we're sure there are no comments in Nextel ringtones Template talk:Pic. (I've left a note there, and have also dropped Abbey Diaz Patrick, the template's creator, a note.) Cingular Ringtones User:Itai/Itai 20:55, 31 Jan 2005

::::: For pages with the same name on Commons, a template using PAGENAME(E) is more convenient, and there seems no harm in having a separate template for that.winsome lefty Patrick/Patrick 22:59, Jan 31, 2005

:::::: There is a lot of harm in creating multiple templates for one-shot reasons. In this case, too few page names match between here and Commons, as explained above, and the separate template is no more convenient because editors still should check Commons to be sure a page exists. Unfortunately, by making it "convenient" to add sardines with template:pic, editors become lazy and don't check as they should. We leave readers pointing to non-existent pages, or redirects - bad form all around. grams a Netoholic/Netoholic year cycle User talk:Netoholic/@ 05:34, 2005 Feb 1

Pronounciation sound files

Is there any standard for insterting standard pronounciation of, say, famous people or places in their respective articles? factors were Nationalencyklopedin has a very neat system in their web edition where they link to sound files with a person pronouncing the article title in the native language. Very handy (except that they do it with often malfunctioning .aif-files).

Is there any policy worked out for this? Is there a template or a project for it? - for detection Karmosin/karmosin 21:32, Mar 3, 2005
