Template Usage

I noticed in a couple of your edits that you changed {{iw}} to {{s}}. They are very similar, however {{iw}} can take an extra input for text in parenthesis (making it able to distinguish between Sonic the Hedgehog (film) or Sonic the Hedgehog (character)). Changing them to {{s}} causes the links to sometimes not work as intended; doing so in the previous example would link to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise instead of the film or character. --CanvasK (talk) 22:33, February 16, 2021 (EST)

I honestly had no idea that was the case, and simply thought they were interchangeable to the point of being a matter of preference. Thanks for the heads up. 72.184.7.232 08:41, February 17, 2021 (EST)

I can see that. If you see {{s}} with 3 inputs feel free to change it to {{iw}}, because at some point {{s}} had 3 inputs and was used interchangeably but was changed to have a different role. --CanvasK (talk) 09:01, February 17, 2021 (EST)

Looking at your recent edits it seems you may have taken my input a little too far. You don't have to change every case of {{s}} you come across to {{iw}}, only the ones with 3 inputs (ie {{s|wiki|foo|bar}}). There's no harm in doing it for the 2 input ones, but I hope you don't feel obligated to do so. --CanvasK (talk) 00:32, March 1, 2021 (EST)
