Template talk:See
This is what User:Member mentioned when creating the page: intended to replace the <see> tag, which violates the Manual of Style (http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:External_links#External_link_format) Member (talk) 23:02, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- I believe our tags are going to be updated along with the next MediaWiki update, so we're kind of stuck in limbo until then. --Peter Talk 00:13, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Even so...wouldn't a tag like <see> be better served by a template? --Member (talk) 02:21, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- There is a template... {{listing}}. This one appears to be a pointless duplicate? K7L (talk) 04:11, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Is it possible to specify subcolours in this template to distinguish different types of places on the map? Soshial (talk) 22:46, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
- {{listing}} takes a parameter "|type=..." which can be one of:
- see (steelblue)
- do (gray)
- buy (teal)
- eat (chocolate)
- drink (black)
- sleep (navy)
- listing (forestgreen)
- other (forestgreen)
- city (blue)
- go (brown)
- vicinity (maroon)
- view (royalblue)
- gold (gold)
- lime (lime)
- magenta (magenta)
- mediumaquamarine (mediumaquamarine)
- orange (orange)
- plum (plum)
- purple (purple)
- red (red)
- silver (silver)
- (default colour is fuchsia)
That won't work with {{see}} as it's hardcoded to pass "|type=see" to the {{listing}} template, generating a steelblue marker. I haven't tried all of these other colours, but supposedly they're listed in {{listing}} or its subtemplates, so (if it worked, and it looks broken) {{listing|type=orange|name=Yukon Orange Growers Association|lat=90|long=-90}} should generate an orange marker as 1 Yukon Orange Growers Association. at the North Pole. Frozen orange juice, anyone? K7L (talk) 01:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks! Plum and magenta don't work BTW. Soshial (talk) 10:10, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks a LOT, K7L for posting this! There used to be a cheat sheet at the map server (I think), showing all these but it was taken down some months back. ϒpsilon (talk) 13:30, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia and Wikidata fields
editI'm not seeing them when I click on the "See" icon to the right of "Listings", nor am I seeing them in the template, even though the history shows that they were added. What do you think accounts for this? Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:32, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
