Imaginary Conversations template

[edit]
Discussion moved from User talk:Sgconlaw.

Hi. Can you make RQ:Landor Imaginary Conversations? This time I actually want it to be complicated. {{RQ:Landor Imaginary Conversations|3|Alfieri and Salomon the Florentine Jew}} should produce '''1828''', {{w|Walter Savage Landor}}, ''Imaginary Conversations'' - Alfieri and Salomon the Florentine Jew and so on, depending on the volume (w:Imaginary Conversations will tell you the date each volume was published). --Quotedude56 (talk) 15:13, 27 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yep, I'm pretty pleased with the template. Except the slight problem that it doesn't do anything like what I want it to. PS sorry for being a consistent thorn in your side bugging you about templates. --Quotedude56 (talk) 11:16, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
OK, so now if I fuck up the template it doesn't break too much. I'll use this template do all the Landor quotes and see if it gets fixed somehow later. --Quotedude56 (talk) 11:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Done Done. Templates have to start with "Template:" (note the colon), otherwise the page is interpreted as a mainspace entry. Oh, and some of your volume numbers seem wrong – you indicated the quotation at cub to be in volume II but it's actually in volume I, while the one at left-handed is supposed to be in volume I but I don't see it there. Please either check the PDFs at the Internet Archive or at least look at "w:List of Landor's Imaginary Conversations". — SGconlaw (talk) 16:56, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
