Trailing period[edit]

This template does not consist of a full sentence. I am considering removing the trailing period. Reasons:

The template does not consist of a full sentence.
One therefore adds periods intuitively after the template, often leading to two periods.
The only place in an english sentence where one can use this template is at the end.

Any objections? -- Tob 08:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This template does not produce working links.[edit]

The links produced all lead to the PlanetMath homepage. Current links look like http://planetmath.org/occamsrazor, and are produced correctly by Template:PlanetMath.

In March 2016 (see [1]), there was a redirect, but it is not active any more. A01401155 (talk) 10:56, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The template now has a urlname parameter, just like Template:PlanetMath. When that is used, the template produces working links. We now need to add urlname to all uses of the template. --RainerBlome (talk) 02:49, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
