Heya, I'm currently trying to get [[Wikipedia:WP:ProveIt|WP:ProveIt]] to work identically there as it would do here, for the most user friendly citing experience possible. This means I'm mass importing thousands of pages, and probably most of them are useless. It's okay though, nobody has to see them and tidying up won't be necessary. {{smiley}} -[[User:NottNott|NottNott]] ([[User talk:NottNott|talk]]) 17:31, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

:{{Re|NottNott}} Looks like ProveIt just uses [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-ProveIt a few citation templates]. Why not just import those? [[User:Heddy|Heddy]] ([[User talk:Heddy|talk]]) 17:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

::(Huh, looks like the notification system is bust. It was working earlier, I literally tested it!)

::It's not quite that simple although I wish it was. We also have to import the TemplateData from the documentation pages with every template because ProveIt relies on the TemplateData to generate the fields for citing. [[Template:Cite web]] has no TemplateData on it, but [[Template:Cite web/doc]] has detailed TemplateData on it. I'm not sure if ProveIt is looking to the template instead of the documentation for the TemplateData, and something funky needs to be done with transclusion, or whether ProveIt is just taking its time to update its information. -[[User:NottNott|NottNott]] ([[User talk:NottNott|talk]]) 17:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
