Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Larger suggestions/Global templates and modules/Proposal
Appearance
- Problem: Templates are different on each wiki and language edition. When you edit in multiple languages or multiple wikis, you have to re-learn the syntax for the templates. For example, in English Wikisource, writting "wikisource" hyphenated on two pages would be
{{hws|wiki|wikisouce}}
, while in the French Wikisource, it would be{{tiret|wiki|source}}
. This makes contribution in multiple languages really difficult. - Proposed solution: Have a global library of templates and Lua modules, where it is possible to access the templates from any wiki.
- Who would benefit: Anyone contributing in multiple languages or on multiple wikis
- More comments: See mw:Global templates and Wikitemplates for previous and ongoing efforts to make global templates a reality.
