Broken formatting

It looks like this 2009 edit broke the formatting of this tag. Formatting should probably be all-italics (as it was before this edit), but if not, it should then be completely un-italicized.

(Since this was the result of an action to use a standardized meta-template, there may be other similarly broken tags -- I haven't explored further.) NapoliRoma (talk) 18:52, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't see why this is broken? Italics is what you get when you ask {{citation}} for a CS1 citation with title and url only:

PD from the {{citation|title=Air Force Historical Research Agency|url=https://www.afhra.af.mil/}} →

PD from the Air Force Historical Research Agency

Later --- I changed the meta-template to generate an external link if given an agency+url (without article or title). This makes this template generate a sentence without italics. I'm not 100% sure this is correct: let's see if this generates any complaints. — hike395 (talk) 15:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. The main issue I noticed was that the name of the agency was italicized, while the rest of the tag wasn't. Company/agency names are not italicized.

In the {{citation}} example above, you specified the agency name as a title -- they're actually the publisher; the "publisher=" parameter won't be italicized. ("title" would be for the name of a work, such as a book or journal, which should be italicized.)

So, having the entire message be the same style is appropriate. But, Wikipedia style would be for the entire text of a footer tag like this to be italicized -- see any {{disambiguation}} page, for example. Regards, NapoliRoma (talk) 17:05, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
