Few tips & tricks

When page number does not make sense use {{sfn|Fine|2009b|loc=§ Poglavlje II}} !

In that case, the page number does not make sense. If you want to make it explicit where the revelant text is located in longer online sources, you can use the parameter "loc" instead of "p" to indicate the section. For example, you could use "{{sfn|Fine|2009b|loc=§ Poglavlje II}}".

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bosnian genocide denial into Milorad Dodik. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:59, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Diannaa, I was sort of aware of this but didn't know that it's required to do something in that regard. So, basically, this copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution would suffice and can be used as a template in edit-summary (if copied text is short or not substantial) and in TP (if there is a lot of copied text). I think that in this case - Bosnian genocide denial > Milorad Dodik - I am a sole contributor of copied text, and it is not particularly intricate narrative it's more of a listing, but if I understood correctly, in case of being sole contributor then, maybe, it could be unnecessary. Please, just to be on the safe side, let me know if I understood this correctly? Thanks again, and stay safe.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 15:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Santasa99. The edit summary is mandatory whether you place a template on the talk page or not. The talk page template is optional. You are correct that if you are the sole author, attribution is not required, but it's still helpful for patrolling admins if you do so. — Diannaa (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, of course, I know that edit summary is mandatory on its own, that's elemental, and yes, it could be that I have done it before. However I am not sure that I am able to remember where, but if I do I will put this temp to appropriate TP. Also, most likely, when and if i used bits of text from one article for writing in another, then, it was again probably my own. Anyhow, I will be sure to use it every time I am reusing any amount of text from now on. Cheers.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 16:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

excess mapframe formatting copy&pasted from a template

Hey, I noticed you have some sort of a boilerplate for mapframe additions to Bosnian articles, most recently in [1] but it's broken, it's using the variables parsing of a template, but that's not the use case in article space, none of that code does anything much there.

Can you please adjust it like this: [2]

I noticed this by accident, it breaks the preview in the popups. This is found in over a hundred articles, and I've been cleaning it up as I go along, but please stop adding it in new ones at least. TIA. --Joy (talk) 18:49, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

I picked it up from Template:Infobox mapframe and I am using it for at least few years now. It doesn't/didn't work always but it worked better than all other shorter variants, so I used it in most cases -I even tried your way but it did not work at the time- I guess it depends on how particular Infobox is coded. I have to say that it's a first time that I see it breaks popup preview like that. Just now I tried your way again and it works (at least it works in settlements and military installations)! It would be perfect if it works in all Infoboxes. By looking at template TP, it seems that Mapframe template is a work in progress, constantly improving. So, you continue removing excess code whenever you encounter infobox with it, and I will help clearing whenever and wherever I recall I used it. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 20:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. There can be differences between infoboxes, yes. Some actually have optional mapframe=yes support embedded, some have image_map, some have some third parameter, some even have no facility to add this except something completely generic at the bottom. It's a bit annoying to have to deal with. I've recently worked on improving a few of these. If you notice one that's not being friendly to mapframes, please feel free to ping me about it. --Joy (talk) 20:22, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome. Yes, it is annoying, but sometimes, in some IB it is enough to insert simplest one, like {{#Infobox mapframe|wikidata=yes}}, another time I had to improvise and remove only bits of the big one to get it work. No problem, I will. Thanks Joy. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 20:49, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Also the wikidata=yes parameter is implied, so the most typical use case would be just calling {{infobox mapframe}} and that's it. --Joy (talk) 08:30, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

True. However, it did not work before in most Ib's, but it seems as if now works in most cases. It should be used for nodes and ways, but relations, like buildings and urban, historic sites require different ikons with dif.spec.color, zoom, etc. I found that Ib for springs has only embedded and embed parameters, which is shame because Dinaric karstic wellsprings are always complex sits and more than often protected as heritage sites. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 10:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Is that about {{Infobox spring}}? --Joy (talk) 13:07, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that one.It has only child and embedded parameters. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 14:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

That template has | image3 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|onByDefault={{#if:{{{pushpin map|}}}|no|yes}}... so all you have to do to get a mapframe there is to pass a | mapframe = yes parameter. I documented this now on that template's documentation page. --Joy (talk) 10:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I came across your edit for this, have a look at how to replace that so the mapframe doesn't go at the bottom but at the image3 position. --Joy (talk) 11:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Joy on both advices - this second problem was particularly annoying.

Please, let me know if there anything else I can do to help. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 22:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
