I would also suggest that the type field be moved immediately underneath the other names field, from its current location at nearly the bottom of the infobox. In most cases, the software type is a two- or three-word summary of what the piece of software is used for, which is most useful for someone

I'm working on an article for a software project that has several major contributors that I want to list in the infobox, and not all of them are developers. In this case, one of them is a project manager. This infobox only provides the option to indicate "author" or "developer", which both link to

Just a little note: I haven't really fixed the module, I am still going to improve the error message. What I did is that I let Cite Web report the most trivial and common error. It is quite probable you will encounter the old error message when there are less trivial errors in a reference. In that

Plural paramaters are fine on a technical level but a huge pain to maintain. If there is an overwhelming consensus, we can still implement it. Other than that, the easiest way to get rid of "(s)" constructs would be to make the parameters generically singular or generically plural, as some other

Currently, the template is set up to prevent any of the field labels from wrapping. Where the author or operating system fields are used, this can lead to the data being squished and can result in the infobox being substantially longer than necessary. Further to

Actually, for initial release ("released ="), for "latest release version" and for "latest release date". The reference should be shown for initial release, "latest release version", and {{start date and age| should be used for "latest release date", see

My own attitude to this problem has been that it isn’t actually a problem. I personally find the wrong pluralization less annoying than the (s) ending, and the classic style used in print is still grammatically acceptable (eg,

To my understanding the "Latest release" shows the value from
Wikidata that is marked as "preferred" which is not always the latest/highest value (e.g. version number or date). This is missleading.
