Hi, can we please have the wiki templates imported that handle citations and legends? They are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Legend -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 15:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC) | Hi, can we please have the wiki templates imported that handle citations and legends?

:{{ping|Sekhet}} I don't think we need to have ''all'' of them. I would say that with web site, book and journal is enough. There's a problem though, and it is that Wikipedia's citation templates use Lua modules. I have zero knowledge on Lua, so I don't feel comfortable importing the modules without being able to maintain them afterward. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 20:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC) | :{{ping|Sekhet}} I don't think we need to have ''all'' of them.

{{ping|Ondo}} May we please have the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion MediaWiki extension for transcluding sections]? This would be useful for something I'd like to do with the articles listing neutral names. If we have this extension, then I'll be able to create articles such as "List of neutral Hebrew names" and "List of neutral names about nature," and then use transclusion of sections to make an appropriate selection of names from the alphabetical name lists appear in these other articles as well, without having to manually duplicate each name entry in multiple places. If you find a different process for automatically accomplishing this, which would be more efficient than this particular extension, then I'd appreciate it as well. Otherwise, so far it appears that this extension is the most appropriate for this task. -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 04:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC) | |||
