At the bottom of the article titled Chlorine dioxide under "External links", the first time says "Media related to Chlorine dioxide at Wikimedia Commons". The capitalization of the initial "C" in "chlorine" appears to be inconsistent with the conventions of WP:MOS, so I clicked on "edit" and found this: ((Commonscatinline)) I had not seen this template before. Can and should this template be edited to fix this? Michael Hardy (talk) 04:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

. I've fixed Chlorine dioxide. — hike395 (talk) 09:01, 1 February 2022 (UTC)I might've encountered the same thing editing at Violet Keene. When using |1=
and explicitly beginning with a lowercase character, the template apparently triggers Pi bot (talk · contribs) to think there's no matching category. Can a fix be implememted to unconfuse lowercase capitalization of the variable in |1=
? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 14:46, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

, which I think is what you were looking for? —Joeyconnick (talk) 19:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

is a problem when (I thought) MediaWiki was capitalization-agnostic. Thank you very much for the assist, regardless! — Fourthords | =Λ= | 21:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)FYI Template:Wikisourcecat inline (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) has been nominated for deletion. It appears to also be a commons category inline link template -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 05:21, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
i come across external links which contain only this template. i assumed this template was created to mingle with other links in external links section instead of seperate box (commons category template). is it reasonable to delete external links section with Commons category-inline template and update template commons category in other section?<_>jindam, vani (talk) 16:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
If box-type templates are not good, either because they result in a long sequence of right-aligned boxes hanging off the bottom of the article, or because there are no external links except sister project ones, then consider using "inline" templates, such as ((Commons category-inline)) in the "External links" section, so that links to sister projects appear as list items
This template places some pages into Category:Inconsistent wikidata for Commons category, while ((Commons category)) with the same arguments does not. Compare cc and cci. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
