Template talk:External peer review

URL parameter

It would be nice if we can have a "URL" parameter also. It will help people to go through the external peer reviews. For eg. if people can read the reasons why The Guardian reviewers gave particular rating to an article, they can help improve the article. 220.227.179.5 10:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Uh...right now both links in the template link to the same page. Or at least the template on Talk:Colloid does. --Ye Olde Luke (talk) 05:10, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Revision parameter?

It might help to add a revision parameter, since readers could then see exactly which revision of the article had been reviewed. The modified template could link to that revision and perhaps even provide a link to the diff with the current article. Does this seem like a sensible idea to everyone?

Collapsable?

This takes up too much space. How to collapse? Viriditas (talk) 01:02, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Tense adjustment

@WillowW, Violetriga, Psantora, Anonymous Dissident, Ms2ger, John Broughton, Dodi 8238, and Evolution and evolvability:

Hello all- This template currently uses the present perfect tense in the message it produces (has been reviewed), which is awkward when the date is given. Does anyone know how to make the wording depend on whether the date parameter is populated, so that if it is, the message will employ the simple past (was reviewed)? Examples:

• with date parameter populated: This article was reviewed by the Daily Planet on April 1, 1066
• with no date: This article has been reviewed by the Daily Planet.

@Eric: I agree with the change. It should be implementable with a simple {{#if:}} function. I'll have a go at it tonight. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 09:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

@Eric: I've implemented the change that I think should fix this now. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 10:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, @Thomas! So the #if/#ifeq is the wiki syntax for if/elseif statements? Is there a guideline somewhere for those functions? Eric ^talk 12:50, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

@Eric: Yes, they're called conditional expressions (a type of "magic word" I think). Here is the help page for them: Help:Conditional_expressions. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 05:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks!

Rename

This template is currently called "External peer review". I propose the "Externally reviewed" is more accurate, since peer review is a term with a pretty specific meaning. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 23:59, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

That does seem more appropriate. --RL0919 (talk) 13:02, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
