Is this template too complicated?

Hi,

Is this template too complicated? For instant, what is the function of the parameter "freeform" (idem for "debug") ?

The following code would be easier (limiting itself to the parameter ticket, id, or 1), wouldn't it ?

	The permission for use of this work has been archived in the Wikimedia OTRS system; it is available <template error: no id or ticket is specified>Category:Items missing OTRS ticket ID for users with an OTRS account. To confirm the permission, please contact someone with an OTRS account.

Yes, it is too complicated. Unfortunately this is I think because different wikis use different parameters for this and the template tries to support them all. I have no idea what the freeform thing is. I'll check how this template is used and see whether I can simplify it. -- Bryan (talk to me) 19:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:ConfirmationOTRS

Is there anything stopping a bot from converting the image pages now using the deprecated {{ConfirmationOTRS}} to use {{PermissionOTRS}} instead? /Lokal_Profil 01:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Working on it.. Rocket000 09:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

And  Done. Rocket000 12:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Add a tickmark to the template

I was confused recently by this template. I thought it meant that somebody had only submitted an ticket, not that it had also been confirmed. The reintroduction of a green checkmark icon of some kind would make things far clearer, as would a change in wording/emphasis of "archived"; perhaps replacing it with "verified and archived". --Tom Edwards (talk) 11:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a very good point to replace "archived" in "verified and archived". For the icon, I don't think a checkmark icon is clearer than the OTRS logo. And this logo is very useful to identify an OTRS permission on first glance.--Bapti ✉ 15:24, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Perhaps I'm nitpicking here, but it would be better to highlight only the words "verified and archived" (that way they stand out against the supporting text).

Also, I wasn't very clear about what I had in mind for the image. See the replacement above-left. :-) --Tom Edwards (talk) 11:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe it's better to higligt only "verified and archived".

For the picture, I see your point but i think it's quite dissapointed to strike the OTRS logo with a green checkmark. Perhaps, it would make more sens to have the checkmark on the left for exemple instead of over the logo.--Bapti ✉ 18:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I think the current version is fine. No need to change the images. - Rjd0060 (talk) 18:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Link to people with an account

The template says "To confirm the permission, please contact someone with an OTRS account.".

I propose changing the link to Category:Commons OTRS volunteers for obvious reasons. Any reason not to? - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree with this change especially as there is a link to m:OTRS/personnel on Category:Commons OTRS volunteers :)--Bapti ✉ 20:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Without objection, motion carried. Cirt (talk) 16:14, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, hope there is no problem with that. I think it just makes sense to do it that way. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
