Template talk:NWT Community External Links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template was created by David Oberst as a standard set of links for External Links section of articles on communities in the Northwest Territories. As first created, it is bringing in the Statistics Canada census profile links provided by my {{StatcanProfiles-NWT}} template, as well as the link to the Prince of Wales Community Names document which seemed to be present in most of the articles' links. If there are other links that should be present for all communties they could be added here as well. - David Oberst 00:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Substitution

Shouldn't this template be {{subst}}ituted? If it isn't, it's highly susceptible to spamming vandals. Additionally, if they were substituted, they could be moved as inline citations. For your consideration. --67.142.130.29 02:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm still working out the best way of setting this up right now, which subst-ing would defeat. You'll notice it has only been added to 3-4 communities so far. I've found that most of the NWT community articles have inline text quoting the 2001 census numbers (there is no NWT community infobox), so I'm likely to change this to allow for putting it in a genenal "References" section to avoid having to do a footnote on the actual number in the text. As for vandals, any template is vulnerable to this, for instance {{Politics}} on politics articles, etc. If once it is finished people think it should be subst-ed I can request a robot to do so. - David Oberst 05:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
