Template talk:Project infrastructure

Hijack

@Hooray: This idea is too useful, so I might hijack it ;) I'll move this from {{Project URL}} to {{project infrastructure}}. Then the default option can be mode=url. I would like to have a mode=name returning SourceForge, and mode=abbrev returning sf. I will then use this in the {{repo link}} family of templates to make the subtemplates 100% independent of the current infrastructure, so that the links will be timeless :) This single template could end up being the sole reference to SourceForge and other infrastructure on the whole wiki.

yes, that was the idea - I was just expecting to spend a few weeks doing this, and not to come back realizing that you finished the whole thing in a few hours. So, thank you very much for doing this. It is good for us to learn from the sourceforge transition and try to prevent certain issues in the future.--Hooray (talk) 06:43, 26 February 2016 (EST)

probably need to extend the template a little to support this use-case: http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Template:Forum&action=history

I guess an optional 'urn' parameter for appending to the URL, as well as a 'text' parameter to change the name of the link would do. Then {{forum}} could transclude this template.

Done.
