Template talk:Ep
Difference?
- What's the difference between this and Template:epp? I know epp creates links like this: (The Line), but {{ep|206|true}} does the same thing. So, do we need both?-- Lost Soul talk contribs 15:38, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- Not really.
It looks like the reflexes formerly only on epp are also now on this.(Actually, I take that back -- epp just invokes this template with the |true reflex, so that reflex has always been here) Of course, since most people don't subst: this template, we'd have to update all of the links from epp to ep|true before we could get rid of epp.--Hardvice (talk) 15:46, 4 November 2007 (EST)- I think we could go a step further, and make it so this template automatically italicises, reducing any need for you to put {{epp|206|true}} at all. So, if you have {{ep|206}} it'll automatically make (The Line) or whatever. The only problem I see is with the many places that use template:epp; if we redirected that template to this one, would that solve it? Or would someone have to go through manually and add that extra 'p'? :)-- Lost Soul talk contribs 15:49, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- If we made it a template alias, all of the references to epp without a |true would convert to just the normal ep. So yes, we'd have to manually update it.--Hardvice (talk) 15:51, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- Not entirely sure I understand - sorry! - but my knowledge of wiki syntax and stuff is relatively basic. I still do think however we should stick to one or the other....-- Lost Soul talk contribs 15:53, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- Actually, the |true reflex on this one is used by epp, which is {presumably) why it's not documented. What I was saying above, though, is that the many, many places where epp is used don't have |true (since that's a reflex of this template). If we just convert epp to a redirect, all of the (Genesis)es will convert to Genesises.--Hardvice (talk) 15:57, 4 November 2007 (EST)
