question

You placed a template here. It looks like a useful template. But you replaced the source URL with this template. Since it doesn't take the reader directly to a web-page in the archive where the image can be found shouldn't templates like this supplement the source URL -- not replace it?

Hi. Good question. More info here on the template: Template:ONT. Since the source is given with the reference code, it should be okay to use instead of the URL. From looking at several other images, it seems the URL isn't always used (probably not a good idea). I have put the URLs back to be on the safe side. I uploaded a few of the Ontario Archives images and included the template, but and I went back and put in the URLs. Thanks for mentioning this. B Crawford (talk) 07:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Ah, It works intermittently? Intermittent problems are the worst! Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 11:24, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
