Confusing syntax

[edit]

Category:Artiodactyla uses {{SimpleTaxa|familiae|Anthracotheriidae|=†|Cebochoeridae|=†|Dichobunidae|=†|Helohyidae|=†|Hippopotamidae|Raoellidae|=†}}. What multiple "|=†" mean? Are they intentional or should this be changed to {{SimpleTaxa|familiae|Anthracotheriidae|=†|Cebochoeridae|Dichobunidae|Helohyidae|Hippopotamidae|Raoellidae}}? --Jarekt (talk) 14:33, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Jarekt:
  • |=†| does not work
  • |Agriochoeridae|Agriochoeridae=†| works but is deprecated
  • |Agriochoeridae†| is the new syntax
I corrected Category:Artiodactyla

Thank you Liné1, Could you also look through Categories and Galleries in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. I am often at a loss on how to deal with duplicate parameters in bio templates. Especially multiple "source" and "auth" fields in {{Species}} and other templates. --Jarekt (talk) 12:29, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Jarekt:
About source=, I must always be my fault. There can be multiple sources using |source= |source2= |source3=
About auth= there should only be one.

Hello @Jarekt:
I corrected all the biology cat and gallery of Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls
This category is really impressive.
Do you know how that works?

Thanks for help with those templates, I do not know how this category works, but it is all handled within mediaWiki software. --Jarekt (talk) 19:59, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
