Is there a reason Template:CS1 language sources uses Module:Cs1 documentation support/sandbox?
Looking into supporting {{CS1 language sources}} categories for Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 84, I found that {{CS1 language sources/core}} invokes a function from Module:Cs1 documentation support/sandbox rather than Module:Cs1 documentation support. Is there a reason the sandbox hasn't been synced to the main module and the template updated to use it instead of the sandbox? If not, I'll probably go ahead and do that.

- That comes from this edit 17 November 2024. Editor Gonnym?

- No idea why I left it like this. If there are no issues you see with it, I can sync with the live verison. Gonnym (talk) 18:20, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
Citation templates script-title
For the various {{citation}}/cite templates, could we make it so that script-title is an adequate replacement for "title"? When referencing a non-English source, to my understanding it's more appropriate to use script-title and not title, but when doing so I get a warning message in VisualEditor that tells me that title is required. seefooddiet (talk) 14:42, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is not a failing of cs1|2. But, it is yet another failing of visual editor and templatedata. All cs1|2 templates accept
|script-title=regardless of the presence or absence of|title=. If you believe differently, please give a real example of such failing. - —Trappist the monk (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- I had suspected it was a problem of visual editor and template data. Is it possible to fix/work around? To my knowledge it isn't. seefooddiet (talk) 19:45, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- In these cases, besides putting the original title in
|script-title=, it is often useful to put a romanization of the title in|title=. Kanguole 19:51, 4 May 2025 (UTC)- Imo romanizations of titles are often excessively long and useful to few (difficult to read). Instead, I use
|trans-title=. But if you use that param instead of title it still triggers the warning in VisualEditor. seefooddiet (talk) 19:57, 4 May 2025 (UTC)- I typically use all three, but it is true that Chinese and Japanese romanizations are more useful than Korean ones. But the reference list is out of the flow of the article text, so space is not at a premium. Kanguole 20:06, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- I'll still respectfully withhold from using it though; it's an extremely rare practice for Korea-related articles on enwiki. I've basically never seen it done. seefooddiet (talk) 20:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
