Usage of the quote parameter

I'm adding/updating {{cite web}} entries on articles of towns and cities in Poland. The citation is to an official Polish website. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the website is almost entirely in Polish. I wish to add instructions to the citation that show how to perform the relevant search. At the moment, it seems as if the only way I can do this is to use the "quote" parameter. See, for example, this edit. I realise that this is not the intended use of this parameter, but it seems the best fit for what I'm trying to achieve. Is there another more appropriate way of doing what I'm trying here? Does there need to be a new parameter, for example? Regards, Kiwipete (talk) 03:36, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Don't abuse cs1|2 template parameters. Put that extra stuff inside the <ref>...</ref> tags after the template's closing }}.

@Trappist the monk - like this? [1]. Kiwipete (talk) 07:20, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Requested edit to Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration

As with my previous edit request to the Configuration subpage, I have amended the local variable script_lang_codes to support an additional language being tagged in citation titles and chapter titles (this time Cherokee chr). As with last time, I have also amended the whole variable definition to balance the line-wrapping better, so please take the whole variable definition (lines 1177–1183).

Again, this is in no way urgent; the existing code correctly adds the IETF language tag to the text, this edit will merely suppress the error message reading Invalid |script-title=: unknown language code that appears when an unrecognised ISO 639 code is used and the resulting categorisation into Category:CS1 errors: script parameters. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 19:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

And as before, there is no need for hurry.

I agree, but I don't see why you've set |answered=yes on {{Requested edit}}; won't that mean that it is more likely to get overlooked? OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 20:38, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

The live module suite is updated from the sandboxen. Your change is in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration/sandbox so won't be overlooked when next we do an update.

Oh, do those happen regularly? — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 23:33, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

No. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:34, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Then surely {{Requested edit}} should keep |answered=no until the change is rolled out? — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 16:43, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

No, that just clutters Category:Wikipedia fully protected edit requests. The change is noted and queued for the next cs1|2 Module-suite update.

This page (Help talk:Citation Style 1) is for discussion on how CS1 templates format citations, not about which books can be used to cite what. Discussion about citing this book would belong at Talk:Water polo. Discussion about the book's reliability in general would be at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.
