The See Also section features two 'css-regions'. These are stub titles to pages under /apis and /tutorials. XRefs should reflect custom titles "CSS Regions API" and "Using CSS Regions to flow content through a layout." That problem, plus the fact that the tutorial sorted last in a long list of See Also links, led me to add a manual link to the tutorial with a hard-coded title. 79010 1 komoroske 2012-11-28 16:42:18 +0000 When I looked at that page, it looked (vaguely) right to me--the "Using CSS Regions to flow content through a layout" article is in the bottom section with the right title. Sometimes SMW does some aggressive caching so after you first edit you don't see the right values, but a few hours later it looks right. Generally you can go to Tools > Refresh on those types of pages to manually force it to regenerate. 79012 2 letmespellitoutforyou 2012-11-28 16:52:13 +0000 You're probably seeing the one-off "Other articles" link that I added by hand. The category-generated "css-regions" link between "getNamedFlows" and "Other articles" should appear with the custom title. The other "css-regions" link above "CSSRegionStyleRule" should appear as "CSS Regions API". I appreciate the point about caching, but this never appears correctly. 79015 3 komoroske 2012-11-28 16:59:03 +0000 I see what's going on. I need to update Template:See_Also_Section to select Page_Title in the query, and then Template:See_Also_Item to use that value if provided. I'll do this later today, hopefully. 79016 4 letmespellitoutforyou 2012-11-28 17:07:25 +0000 No rush, just noting one of the many little things that should get done sooner or later. ;-) 79040 5 frozenice 2012-11-28 20:20:27 +0000 I changed those 2 templates, because I had them open as part of my investigation of #20120 anyway. See_Also_Item now uses: [[{{{1}}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{!}}{{{2|}}}|}}]] (showing the full link instead of "Article" if no 2nd parameter gets passed) And See_Also_Section now selects Page_Title instead of API_name. I hope that's okay with you, Alex. Looking at the "Related articles" section of apis/css-regions/NamedFlow, there are 2 articles without a Property:Page_title. Actually there are tons of articles that don't include Template:Page_Title, could be a task for the bot to fix that. If the list now looks okay to you Mike, you can remove the additional link to the tutorial. :) 79043 6 letmespellitoutforyou 2012-11-28 20:36:10 +0000 Those 2 pages are legacy pages that I'll flag for removal. Thanks Re the rest, I logged a bug #20121 requesting templates provide more contextual info in see-also lists about interface members. I can hand-code each as a custom title, but ideally it should be auto-generated. I have roughly zero idea of how much templates can accomplish.
