Request for Input / Suggestions on Pacer/Recap templates[edit]

Rhadow, Funcrunch : I'm not 100% ready to submit these drafts, but I would like your opinion if you have time. Do these template drafts make sense to you? I'm thinking about also making a Short Citation format which links to the full document at an optionally-specified page number. Something like {{PacerRef|CREW|Trump|2017|title=...|case-state=XX|case-district=...|pacer-num=...|docket=yes|doc-number=...|att-number=...|at=paragraph #|pages=...|page=...|pdf-page=...}}. Any advice or comments come to mind? Dakleman (talk) 05:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused, where are the drafts you are referring to? Funcrunch (talk) 14:14, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for being unclear, Funcrunch, but I was referring to {{Cite Pacer Docket}} and {{Cite Pacer}} which I demoed on my sandbox. PacerRef, for Rhadow's benefit, would be generate an internal link similar to those in the sandbox's references, but with the option to hyperlink to a specific page of the Recap-archived PDF for speed of confirming what original sources say. Rhadow, if I was going to build an automated template for the infobox, I would need to make it a LUA Module that parses the XML formatted case metadata on Recap and a substitution-only template so that every page view doesn't general a fetch of the XML. Seems like overkill for my ambitions this month. Dakleman (talk) 16:11, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly case law (on or off of Wikipedia) and templates are not areas I have expertise in, so I don't have any particular opinions or suggestions to offer. Thanks for the ping regardless. Funcrunch (talk) 16:43, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, for your time. I have moved my 3 templates to the Template namespace Dakleman (talk) 20:13, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
