Panzer Tracts and {cite book}
[edit]Hi, Thanks for sorting out the {{cite book}} issue at Panzer I at the Help Desk.
What is your thinking about the pagination scheme of the dreaded Panzer Tracts series? As far as I can tell, Jentz & Doyle use ordinary hyphen-minus on the front covers, e.g. Panzer Tracts 3-1, and in page numberings, e.g. 3-1-17. {{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|2006a|p=3-1-17}}[1]
A slightly simpler way could be to leave out the volume number and just use the page number: {{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|2006a|p=17}} [2]
I know that cite book automatically formats normal page ranges with an en-dash,[3] which I normally try to insert anyway, but |pp=3-1-17–3-1-20[4] is very unwieldy. With too many hyphens I think it just gives up.[5]
Perhaps |pp=3-1-17–20 [6], or |pp=3-1-17 to 20[7] is easier to comprehend at a glance, although not exactly approved.
Am I interpreting the behaviour of the template correctly? Do you have any specific preferences? Cheers, MinorProphet (talk) 08:04, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

I want to know if you can consider dropping protection to extended confirmed since the module is only used about 2,000 times. This does not fall to the level of "high risk" that is needed to have the template protected at that level. Aasim (話す) 22:22, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- done. rationale for template protection here (permalink).

- Oh I see. Well, now it is possible to partial block in response to edit wars, so protecting in this manner is pointless now unless if there are a large number of people involved in the conflict. Aasim (話す) 22:52, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
