Created {{sortname ill}}
editI created {{sortname ill}} for using an interlanguage link instead of a standard link in {{sortname}}. I would have thought that this should be integrated in {{sortname}} by adding a language parameter, but the result of this archived discussion seemed to be that that wouldn’t be a good idea. If you feel this need should be filled in a different manner, please let me know. Joriki (talk) 22:30, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
I implemented the {{sort}} and {{sortname}} templates as new sort and name functions in Module:Sort/sandbox and switched {{sort/sandbox}} and {{sortname/sandbox}} to use this module. This will allow the module to be accessed directly to reduce the post-expand include size of pages with large sortable tables. If there is no objection, I'll copy this code to the main Module:Sort module and switch the main {{sort}} and {{sortname}} templates over to use the module as well. --Ahecht (TALK
