More than four domains

[edit]

There are some RSP sources that have more than four domains mentioned. For example, the 'uses' column for WP:DAILYMAIL has a show/hide toggle in the last column that hides links for eleven different domains. Currently, the ISR template has space to list four domains (from which it generates three links each). Given that an Infobox is a kind of summary, I'm not sure it should have 11 domains in the box (thus 11 headers, and 11 × 3 links); that seems counter to the spirt of what an Infobox is for. (Then again, I've seen some military infoboxes with very long lists of combatants, but I've never been a fan of those; I think it should be more of a summary.) So, it would be my preference to limit the number of domains that are covered in the Infobox, with perhaps some way of signaling that more domains can be found in the body of the page. One way to do that would be a number-of-domains field, just before the first one, so if that number was '11' but the user could only see four in the Infobox, they would know to look elsewhere for the others. And we could link the '11' number in the box to the place on the page where they could be found. Other ideas? Mathglot (talk) 09:11, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does 'shortcut' belong?

[edit]

Does 'shortcut' belong in the Infobox? I think it doesn't. Shortcuts are related to Wikipedia navigation, and have nothing to do with a particular source, and that argues for perhaps keeping it on the page (if appropriate) but excluding it from the Infobox. Page shortcuts generally float top right on a page; sometimes lower when attached to individual sections. In addition, some rows have more than one shortcut.

Title vs. name

[edit]

Probably need to add a 'title' param, so we can have unlinked titles; such as at Bloomberg, in the bottom section, and some others that do not correspond to an article. 'Name' should not be used for this, as it is in a couple of pages. Mathglot (talk) 19:48, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
