Request for proper capitalization

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

Google

Is there any reason that Module:Find sources/links/google sets the results per page to 50 instead of the user’s preference (or if it’s by design, why not 100)? Also, can we document the as_eq parameter with a link to say, this documentation? —LLarson (said & done) 16:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the Module:Find sources/links/jstor template generate an HTTPS link to JSTOR instead of the current HTTP link. The JSTOR search URL appears to support HTTPS. In Module:Find sources/links/jstor, please change http://www.jstor.org/ to https://www.jstor.org/ instead. --Elegie (talk) 05:53, 17 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

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

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 google.com/image?tbm=isch instead of google.com/search?tbm=isch. 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 protocol-relative URL scheme is now obsolete so I changed it to use https:// instead. If this is applied and works out I might make some similar changes to the other Google URLs.
