Dead link
Probably because of housecleaning at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve bank web site, the US template includes a dead link. The link that works is here, but I don't know how to fix templates. If you know how to fix this one, please do. Finetooth (talk) 16:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think I fixed it - here is a Test[1] with the reference below. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Reference
- ^ Staff. Consumer Price Index (estimate) 1800–2012. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Retrieved March 31, 2013.
Non-footnoted footnotes
Is there an equivalent of this without the ref tags? If I'm putting the {{inflation}} info itself in a footnote, I don't want another footnote linked to from within that, I just want the whole lot inline. Does that make sense? Pseudomonas(talk) 09:58, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- This would really be a helpful feature. Perhaps a "noref" parameter could be added to suppress the generation of the ref tags, or even better, the template could be split, with {{Inflation-fn}} generating the ref tags, and calling upon {{Inflation-src}} to generate the contents. That way, we could call {{Inflation-src}} from within a footnote. —mjb (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Final period
I'd like propose a change to this template to either remove the final period from the footnote produced or to at least make it optional by adding a "postscript" parameter as in {{citation}}. --Malleus Fatuorum 20:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
No-country parameter handling broken
The docs say "When no country parameter is provided, or when an invalid country is provided, the generated footnote is a generic one:" but the examples, {{Inflation-fn}} and {{Inflation-fn|xyz}}, do not seem to be generating anything at all. —mjb (talk) 22:06, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Dates
The current template produces a footnote of "Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Retrieved December 7, 2010" Is there any way of producing one that could produce one as "Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Retrieved 7 December 2010"? (Or is there a version that does that already?) I've had comments from reviewers of articles who want to see all the dates in the same format if possible. Cheers. - SchroCat (^ • @) 17:52, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- This feature has been available (for US only) since 1 September 2011. It's not documented, but you just need to add the parameter

Title
At it currently stands that footnote generated by this template reads "Consumer Price Index (estimate) 1800–2008." I note, however, that the page title reads "CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (ESTIMATE) 1800-" Could the template be adjusted to show the correct title, i.e. to remove the 2008 date? Cheers - SchroCat (^ • @) 07:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- Titles do not take all caps from their sources
- This would be a miscitation, at the time this data was gathered, the source was 1800-2008, which is why there's a date indicating when the data was extracted. Fifelfoo (talk) 08:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not talking about the caps, I'm talking about putting in the CORRECT page title: "Consumer Price Index (estimate) 1800–" What is currently there is a mis-citation. I'm proposing the correct one it used instead - and one that reflects the fact that it's gone 2008 and the templaet still works in the intervening three years. - SchroCat (^ • @) 09:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
