Propose a new character conversion tag
|
|
Hello all,
First of all, I should say since I'm not a native English speaker,
there may be some rough English below. I apologize for any
inconvenience.
As you may know, we have two kind of Chinese characters, zh-hans and
zh-hant. So per that we have a character converter on zhwiki. Now we
have -{}- for single conversion, -{T|} for title conversion, -{A|}-
for article-range conversion and a template {{noteTA}} for a better
view. But since we are dealing with some templates, we found it's very
disappointing because we can only use -{}- for many, many times since
any other tag would effect on the rest of the article which transclude
or substitute this template. So hereby we propose a -{R||} tag which
only have effect on quoted texts. Maybe it can use like this:
-{R|zh-cn:FOO; zh-tw:BAR;|Some FOO and some BAR.}- and it will only
convert from "Some" to "BAR", with no effect on other text in the
article, like "FOOBAR" here. So that we would easily deal with those
conversions in a template. Thanks.
Best regards,
Jimmy Xu
