→Template-protected edit request on 3 August 2023: Clarification about roles of template and module. |
|||
Line 77:
::::There are two relevant entities here: [[Module:Find sources]] and [[Template:Find sources]]. The module is the sort of core, which contains the structure for adding links, whereas the template is what determines which links are actually used, and is what appears on many talk pages. There are [[Module:Find_sources#Available_templates|a few other templates]] that also use the module core.
::::Adding AP and Reuters to the module is something I'd support, as they could feasibly be used. But adding them to the find sources template in addition to ''NYT'' is something I'd oppose, as that'd be the first step down the path that ends with us listing every large-scale reliable news organization, and then we have something that's no longer one line but half a dozen, contributing to talk page bloat and [[banner blindness]]. We need to think about that actual workflow that someone search for sources for an article goes through. It's generally not to go to the website of every reputable news organization to see what coverage they have; rather, it's to use Google News, which will bring up stories from the ''NYT'', AP, Reuters, and all the others. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>{{u|</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}}</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 18:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
::::: Clarification: the template selects the [[Template:Find sources#How this works|search ___domain]], and the module config files determine which links are displayed for each search ___domain. [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 23:00, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
