How to link to French article

Hello Bearcat, Can you kindly help me with how I can create a link to a director's name on the French version of Dalton Muir's Wikipedia page in the Draft:Yorkton Film Festival Golden Sheaf Award - Best of Festival article for the The Edge of the Barrens, 1964. The link I created is the only way I know how to do this and is likely not correct. Thank you!!LorriBrown (talk) 17:16, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat Thank you for demonstrating the proper way to create the link! :- )LorriBrown (talk) 00:15, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. There's also a trickier way to do it if the French article has a disambiguated title, which even I can never actually get right without copy-pasting the model directly from the template documentation page, so ping me again if you ever run into a situation like that. But if the title of an English article would just be the same as the French one, then what I did here is the way. Bearcat (talk) 14:21, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to correctly name an award & how to add the award correctly to the category lists.

Bearcat, I've posted the first award for Best of Festival to the main space; however, I am having some doubts about whether I've named it correctly. The overall award name is the Golden Sheaf Award which started initially with the Best of Festival. Over the years they've added groups for the categories: Main, Craft, Accompanying & Special. There are 29 awards total that fall under these four groups. I've named the award the Yorkton Film Festival Golden Sheaf Award - Best of Festival but have looked at some other festivals and now wonder if this is correct. Perhaps it should be Best of Festival, Golden Sheaf Award (Yorkton Film Festival). Or some variation of that. Do you have any opinions on whether or not the titling for the page makes sense or would be easily found by searching - if so inclined to want to locate it? Perhaps it doesn't matter as long as the articles are consistently titled... I also am uncertain which existing categories to add it to and if a new category should be added for Yorkton Film Festival awards. Thank you!LorriBrown (talk) 17:37, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really have any advice on the title at this time, and would have to think about it some. My initial instinct is that as long as whatever articles you create are titled consistently with each other, and linked from the main Yorkton Film Festival article, the title format you use shouldn't really matter too much.

In terms of the category, a dedicated category for "Yorkton Film Festival" awards would be fine down the line when more articles are already in place, but would not be appropriate yet if only one article is actually done. As a rule, there generally need to be at least four or five articles already able to be filed in the category before the creation of a new category, so once you've got four or five articles done a category would be fine at that time. In the meantime, Category:Canadian film awards is fine — but watch out for the difference between that and the all-capitalized Category:Canadian Film Awards, which is for the specific defunct 1949-1978 Canadian Film Awards that turned into the Genies, rather than for all awards presented to Canadian films.

Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive advice! :-)LorriBrown (talk) 18:11, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

The references in some odd scrolling box are weird, I don't know any article trying this. Does it work on mobile? Does it work with screen-readers? Does it allow to find something (Ctrl-F or similar) in invisible parts of the references? And where is the alleged consensus to do this here? I've reset this to a normal {{reflist|30em}}, undo is simple after these questions are answered. –84.46.52.210 (talk) 15:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
