Template talk:Jira
tweaking to make it more usable
If the string parser functions were installed (it's listed in Jira), you could skip out the alt parameter and expand the abbreviation to the full name.
As it stands I could probably tweak this a bit :-D

https vs http
The current template uses https: to access to jira.secondlife.com. I think http: is better for this purpose, because (1) http is lightweight over https, and (2) an https: URL is rendered with "Locked" icon that may scare users.

Do to the way JIRA keeps session information, we have to use https for it to work throughout JIRA. We could log onto JIRA, and then later use the wikipage to get directly to a jira issue and edit it without the need to relogin. It is a bit of a pain because of the potential lag, but it heals the relogin issue. Normally, users would have raw jira accounts, and the http method would work fine, but the SL users have a special user account that doesn't work currently as a raw jira user account. This template is used heavily for the triage agendas, so we can expect the need to edit without constant a re-login prompt.
How about an optional variable to this template?

Link decoration
I would like to add <span class="plainlinks"> to this template in order to make the links look nicer. It would also solve "looks scary for new users" problem, Alissa Sabre referred to in the previous comment.
Objections?
(P.S.: Just partly related, but is there a way to have a link beeing not underlined?)

- I have no problem with plainlinks being added, I don't think the underline decoration can be removed. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 09:52, 12 September 2008 (PDT)
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.
For example:
{{Jira|VWR-7830|Automatically switch active group on group land|type=nf|resolution=open}}
Would look like:
VWR-7830 [A, C] - Automatically switch active group on group land
Minus all the external/secure link icons of course, not sure how to get rid of those…
