Template talk:Otheruses-number
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Similar to Template:Otheruses, I'd use "For other uses, see ...".
It would be nice if we could include this later into a template for the year page header. -- User:Docu
Why not have actual article name there?
The template currently contains:
- :''For other uses, see [[{{PAGENAME}} (number)|number {{PAGENAME}}]][[Template:otheruses-number|.]]''
This expands to something like:
- For other uses, see number 1000.
Why not change it to:
- :''For other uses, see [[{{PAGENAME}} (number)]].''
This expands to something like:
- For other uses, see 1000 (number).
There is no silly link with the label a full stop and we have shown the actual name of the article linked to. I cannot see any reason not to implement both of these changes. Brianjd
- When I created it, I made it mirror what was hard-coded at the top of the year pages this is now used on. I guess there's no reason for it to be that way. So go ahead and do it - Be bold! The final period is linked back to the template for ease of editing - it's less of a hassle than tracking down the template name in the code; you can see it on other templates too. I'd say leave it; it doesn't harm anything. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 21:54, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The current version expands to the following, e.g. on 1000:
- This article is about the year 1000. For other uses of 1000, see 1000 (number).
Depending on the placement, this wraps to two lines. Personally, I'd favor a shorter version, e.g.
- This article is about the year. For other uses, see Number 1000.
If the first line of the year page would state that it's about the year (like 2004: "2004 is a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. It was designated the:.. "), we could even do away with "This article is about the year", but currently most articles don't do this. -- User:Docu
