Template talk:From Camerapedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Usage
To credit Camerapedia in general, add {{From Camerapedia}} to the article.
To credit a particular article titled XXXX within Camerapedia, add {{From Camerapedia|XXXX}} to the article. (For example, {{From Camerapedia|Pentax}}.) If the title of the article includes one or more spaces, use underline(s) instead; for example, {{From Camerapedia|Guess_focusing}}.
[edit] Why the awkwardness?
Because Camerapedia does not (yet) appear within the Interwiki map, the template cannot (yet) be rewritten to create such simple links as [[Camerapedia:Fuji|Fuji]], and instead has to create the slightly awkward [http://camerapedia.org/wiki/Fuji Fuji]. There's no handy pipe character ("|"), and there's a certain degree of potential ambiguity: thus the need for underline(s).

- I've added the 'localurl' parser function to the template. This replaces spaces with underscores and encodes other characters. So I've edited the articles that use this template with underscores in the parameter, and replaced them with spaces. Works so far! --Imroy 20:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
