			::My main purpose for raising a merge is that office hours are using [[Template:Jira]] a lot for inclusion in agendas, which are typically just ad-hoc lists. Since they use lists this means that [[Template:Issue]] is unsuitable as while they could switch to using a table, not all agenda items are JIRA issues. So really what I'm thinking is that [[Template:Jira]] could do with supporting some of the features that [[Template:Issue]] has that it lacks, namely the ability to specify issue type, resolution and so-on, so you can get the same icons. I was thinking an abstract template might be good to prevent redundancy, but as I say I'm not great when it comes to the complexities of templates on the wiki, is there a way to maybe extra just the important bits, namely the type and resolution tables, so that both templates can be getting their info from the one place (making it easier to update)?

			== Replacing JiraIssue ==

			Already hinted at this, but we shouldn't really both this template and [[Template:JiraIssue]] as they both do almost exactly the same thing. The main difference between the two templates is that any title entered is display in addition to the JIRA issue ID, while this template will only display the title. For compatibility I'd like to propose that if a title is entered then it should be displayed in addition to the JIRA issue ID. However, if the title is entered using the <code>alt</code> variable then it replace the issue ID, this way we should be able to get both behaviours allowing for explicit JIRA links, and inline links from part of a sentence.

			For example:

			<code><nowiki>{{Jira\|VWR-7830\|Automatically change group on group land}}</nowiki></code>

			Would produce:

			[https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7830 VWR-7830 - Automatically change group on group land]

			While the following:

			<code><nowiki>To view my JIRA issue please {{Jira\|VWR-7830\|alt=Click Here}}!</nowiki></code>

			Would produce:

			To view my JIRA issue please [https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7830 click here]!

			== Updating the format of this template ==

			As I mentioned on [[Template:JiraIssue]] I'm thinking it might be nice if this template could be expanded to be more consistent with [[Template:Issue]] to support type, resolution etc, creating plainer links only if those bits of information aren't provided, so we can include as rich or as simple a jira-link as we like.<br />
			For example:

			<code><nowiki>{{Jira\|VWR-7830\|Automatically switch active group on group land\|type=nf\|resolution=open}}</nowiki></code>

			Would look like:
