Template talk:JCW-selected-source

Convert to module

@Galobtter:, since you helped with Module:JCW-selected, could you help here too?

The idea of the template is it has two parameters, |source= and |note=.

• |note= is a plain jane field that returns what you input.
• |source= has a list of valid codes, but failing that, returns the plain input.

The issue here is that is that it only supports one valid code at a time, e.g.

• {{JCW-selected-source|source=BLJ}} → [Beall's journal list]
• {{JCW-selected-source|source=DOAJ}} → [Lying about DOAJ]
• {{JCW-selected-source|source=CIRC}} → [WP:CIRCULAR / WP:MIRROR]
• {{JCW-selected-source|source=BLJ, DOAJ}} → [Beall's journal list · Lying about DOAJ]
• {{JCW-selected-source|source=CIRC, [https://example.com]}} → [WP:CIRCULAR / WP:MIRROR · ]

whereas the desired output would be supporting multiple codes. For the last two, this would look like

• [Beall's journal list · Lying about DOAJ]
• [WP:CIRCULAR/WP:MIRROR · ]

That would be much appreciated. Each code in |source= would be comma delimited. And if you don't have time, that's ok too, I'll just ping someone else. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:36, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

 Done, kinda, simpler to use Template:MultiReplace in a template. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:55, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

@Galobtter: Whatever works. It's still LUA, so it's still unpenetrable to me. But I can build on what you wrote. Thanks a bunch! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:59, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
