Template talk:quote-news

archiveurl

At [[Chicago]], the text Chicago Tribune, [archiveurl= page 20]: displays. It isn't immediately clear to me what causes this. It isn't obvious in the page source (of Chicago), and I presume it isn't intended... it should probably just display Chicago Tribune, page 20: instead? - -sche (discuss) 07:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

The problem is in one of the branches of {{quote-news}} — specifically, the branch that's activated by {{{1}}} being **. It contains this:

{{reference-news|
...
pageurl={{{pageurl|}}}
archiveurl={{{archiveurl|}}}|
...
}}

when it should contain this:

{{reference-news|
...
pageurl={{{pageurl|}}}|             <-- notice the pipe at the end
archiveurl={{{archiveurl|}}}|
...
}}

. So, at [[Chicago]], {{reference-news}} is being called with a pageurl argument of archiveurl=. —Ruakh_TALK 11:57, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Need to add edition

Newspapers can have an edition (e.g. Electronic, Morning, Afternoon, etc.) and thus this template should add an optional argument to specify the edition being quoted. Also, why don't we add a quote field to the template as is done in the quote-book template? WilliamKF (talk) 19:37, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Coauthors

The |coauthors= parameter doesn't seem to work. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 05:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
