Template talk:Educational assignment
Looks like that's an accidental(?) but pointless fork of this one. I think it can be replaced with a call to this template. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 09:08, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Can we add[edit]
Functionality to link to external sites, namely dashboard, like [1]? I tried to do this but the link is broken, see [2]. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:35, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Interwiki links work. Special:Interwiki says outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org is
wmfdashboard:so you can use that.[3] Are assignments ever on sites not run by the Wikimedia Foundation? PrimeHunter (talk) 07:44, 23 June 2020 (UTC)- Pinging Piotrus - if the above sorts it out, great! If not, I've written a small module which will just perform a rudimentary check on whether a param is a protocol'd URL or not, and return appropriately, which could be included here.

- @Naypta: It seems confusing to use the same name as {{Autolink}} which does something different. And we already have {{Linked}} which detects if the argument is already linked. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:07, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- @PrimeHunter: Ah, brilliant - I didn't know about {{linked}}, sorry! Although, having said that, doing the entire thing in wikitext there hurts my head to look at
I might suggest that we turn that template into a module call, but I'll move it away from Autolink anyway, for the reason you've pointed out. Cheers! Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 11:13, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

- @PrimeHunter: re "re assignments ever on sites not run by the Wikimedia Foundation?" It is probably rare, but possible. Not that I can think of any example right now, these days the dashboard is all the vogue. For now I will use the interwiki link, thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:16, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
