== RfC of potential interest ==

An RfC is underway that interested "watchers of this page" wound enhance by participating, I hope that many will! The discussion is located at [[Wikipedia talk:Twinkle#RfC regarding "Ambox generated" maintenance tags that recommend the inclusion of additional sources]].

== Request for proper capitalization ==

{{edit template protected|answered=yes}}

For proper capitalization, could someone please edit [[Module:Find sources/templates/Find sources]] to change "highbeam" to "HighBeam" and "wikipedia" to "Wikipedia"? Thanks! [[User:GoingBatty|GoingBatty]] ([[User talk:GoingBatty|talk]]) 18:47, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

== Google ==

Is there any reason that [[Module:Find sources/links/google]] sets the results per page to 50 instead of the user’s preference {{small|(or if it’s by design, why not 100)}}? Also, can we document the {{code|as_eq}} parameter with a link to say, [https://www.google.com/support/enterprise/static/gsa/docs/admin/72/gsa_doc_set/xml_reference/request_format.html#1076745 this documentation]? —<span style="text-shadow:0 0 .15em #900;color:#900">[[User:LLarson|LLarson]]</span> <small>([[User talk:LLarson|said]] &amp; [[Special:Contributions/LLarson|done]])</small> 16:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

:{{Done}} Having waited a sufficient amount of time with no objections, I [[Special:Diff/883390443|removed the 50-results-per-page parameter]] from the Google search. —<span style="text-shadow:0 0 .15em #900;color:#900">[[User:LLarson|LLarson]]</span> <small>([[User talk:LLarson|said]] &amp; [[Special:Contributions/LLarson|done]])</small> 03:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

== Regarding the latest revision to this template ==

Regarding {{plainlink|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Find_sources_mainspace&diff=779308468&oldid=627620316|name=this revision}}, “‹ The template below (Find sources mainspace) is being considered for merging. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. ›” can be seen in the template itself and on pages which use it, such as [[Ping (video gaming)]]. Shouldn’t it be surrounded with <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> tags?<br><font face="Papyrus"><font color="#0020C2">―</font><b>[[User:PapiDimmi|<font color="#0000A0">PapíDimmi</font>]]</b> <small><font color="#571B7E">(</font><b>[[User talk:PapiDimmi|<font color="#4AA02C">talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/PapiDimmi|<font color="#4AA02C">contribs</font>]]</b><font color="#571B7E">)</font></small></font> 19:40, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

: Way too late, but no, it is intentional for TfD tags to show up on uses. [[User:Pppery|&#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery]] ([[User talk:Pppery|talk]]) 22:41, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

== Please use HTTPS URL for JSTOR link ==

{{edit template protected|Module:Find sources/links/jstor|ans=yes}}

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the [[:Module:Find sources/links/jstor|Module:Find sources/links/jstor]] template generate an HTTPS link to JSTOR instead of the current HTTP link. The JSTOR search URL appears to [https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=%22Albert+Einstein%22&acc=on&wc=on support HTTPS]. In [[:Module:Find sources/links/jstor|Module:Find sources/links/jstor]], please change <code><nowiki>http://www.jstor.org/</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>https://www.jstor.org/</nowiki></code> instead. --[[User:Elegie|Elegie]] ([[User talk:Elegie|talk]]) 05:53, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

== Update Google Images to use new-style URL and forced HTTPS ==

{{edit template-protected|Module:Find sources/links/google free images|answered=yes}}

I switched the Google Image search format string to a newer format at [[Module:Find sources/links/google free images/sandbox]], and was hoping for it to be applied to [[Module:Find sources/links/google free images]].

The current template uses the old-style Google image search URL format, with <code>google.com/image?tbm=isch</code> instead of <code>google.com/search?tbm=isch</code>. Currently the old format redirects to the new format, but I think it would be better to just use the new format to avoid any broken links in the future. Also, the [[Wikipedia:External_links#Specifying_protocols|protocol-relative URL scheme is now obsolete]] so I changed it to use <code>https://</code> instead. If this is applied and works out I might make some similar changes to the other Google URLs. Thanks, [[User:Habst|Habst]] ([[User talk:Habst|talk]]) 15:04, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

== Some google searches using this module have "-wikipedia" at the end ==

Line 44 ⟶ 10:

An example of what is occurring:<br>

On [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edmonton_%26_Area_Land_Trust&diff=876878265&oldid=876814312 this diff] you can see [[Template:Article for deletion/dated]] at the top. The first two ''Find sources'' links search with "-wikipedia" included in the search term, which seems to negatively affect the results coming back.<br>

I'm hoping that someone may know what is wrong so that this can be corrected. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Vanstrat|Vanstrat]] ([[User talk:Vanstrat#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Vanstrat|contribs]]) 02:09, 5 January 2019 (UTC)</small>
