Hi Clayton and hi all,
First I would like to apologize for writing a second reply to this post,
but since I've a bit changed my mind I need again some of your knowledge
for me,
1- not to go on in a wrong way,
2- to go faster if in a right way...
Many thanks in advance !

Thank you very much for this feedback.
- Unfortunately the first one is not (yet) a template. It's more like a
wished result.
I'd be happy to succeed in assigning such icon with the parameter
"Module". If the value is "Base", then its icon, and so on.
Perhaps the solution with #if - and/or other things like that ?
Perhaps another but even better solution should be to create
[[Template:CitePage]] ?
There is also the possibility to use a method something like what we
used fro the Tip, Note etc.. take a look at the Documentation/Note and
Documentation/Tip templates. They are basically the same layout, but
use different colors and icons based on Tip, Note, Warning etc. The
same could be possible for the CitePage idea... for example:
{{CitePage_Base
|MetaData1
|MetaData2
|Link
}}
would give you the layout etc for a link related to Base. We could then
have one for Writer, Calc, etc.. and also one for General. Each could
have their own icon (and colors or other layout if needed), and no #if
magic needed.
Perhaps you're right and I'm wrong, perhaps (I hope for myself too)
we're right both. But for me - to define that - I need to go further. (I
feel like a child when writing English... Sorry again for grammar
mistakes of a French man...)
In fact I wanted to test the behavior of the parser functions extension
and created three (four with the translation) templates yet. The two
others, Icon and Color, can be shown in the Help section :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:CitePage
Does it look correct ? (uh, I mean not (more) about presentation but
about general working ?)
And (trying for me to translate it and) for us all, obviously more
comfortable to develop if someone else in interest. (For me a little/big
change in behavior - to write in English)
FR talk (it's a draft):
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template_talk:FR/CitePage#Param.C3.A8tres
I try now to maintain the two (main) pages synchronized, but not with
the talk page. However I'll try to get the best from each one
duplicated... sorry there are examples (WhatLinksHere) for FR only...
I appreciate your efforts in English :-) My French is poor. I don't
use it enough.
Thank you very much for your encouragements. There's so much I don't
know the only real good think for me would be going to USA again for two
or three months (I've come only a week :-/ ), but... money is money,
time is money, and business is... business ! (As you can see for me too
the idea of having a little more money in my pockets make dreams, all
but original... Fortunately (!) there are other ways to stay happy :-) )
Anyway, thanks again. I try to do my best writing with simple words...
I'll try this way. Writing give me the response. It's a Wiki and even a
bad test could give something good to extract. Moreover I'm nearly a
beginner with html "commands", and translation work could be easiest for
me than searching in EN sources alone without having any "lightened"
discussion...
This time I'd need more your appreciation on the subject, because of the
content that I don't know very well about. The two questions are inside :
1. *licenses* display rules :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template_talk:CitePage#Licenses
2. And the following section (three *versions* parameters) on the same
page, because I don't like their names and I see again an opportunity
for a "OOoVersion" template, who could not authorize fantasist values.
As often said, perhaps less is more...
That's the nice part about the Wiki. you can experiment, and put the
ideas out there for comments and feedback. I'll keep thinking about
this... maybe I can add something to your ideas.. or maybe we need a new
extension to get the Wiki to do what's needed (new Wiki extensions are
easy to add).

What I tried yesterday was to install mediawiki on my debian ! But if
it's a success, I don't know about php and need to read more again for
this purpose, just to could start my own local laboratory where I could
even crash everything quite happily :-D Hopefully I'll ask in the
Debian French forum, they'll give me precious advices, I think...
Have a good day,
Regards,
Dominique
