Another generic author name
I've just cleaned up a few articles where the author field ended with "(View posts)" (sample diff) -- John of Reading (talk) 09:26, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Translated Quote Parameter
Since there is a parameter for "translated title", and there is a parameter for "quote", I suggest a parameter for "translated quote". Currently I tend to write a translation of the quote in brackets after the quote, but this is probably not optimal, since the source itself is not the source of the translation (just as we usually cannot attribute a "translated title" to the source).

- If the quotation is important to the article, put it in the article body and cite it. Quotations require citations; citations do not require quotations. But, if you must:

- Oh, I didn't know we actually had this. I guess it was because it's not available from the visual editor 😅. Sometimes I used
|quote=to give a fuller version of a quotation from the article itself, and sometimes it was to make clear how a source supported a claim, since it was a large webpage source and I can't give page numbers. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 13:30, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Istro-Romanian-language sources
Hello. I frankly have no idea if this is the appropriate venue for this.
Istro-Romanian is one of the Balkan Romance languages. The others are Romanian, Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian. Adding a parameter |language=ro/rup/ruq in a citation template will produce (in Romanian/Aromanian/Megleno-Romanian)
, but |language=ruo does not produce (in Istro-Romanian)
. An example is reference 50 at Istro-Romanians. I fixed it manually with |version= but I don't see why Istro-Romanian should be excluded from Wikipedia's technical code, or whatever the root of this is. Note that there is already Template:Lang-ruo so it's not a problem of "ruo" or of the language not being integrated anywhere within Wikipedia's code.
Can this be fixed? Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 20:17, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
