Almost every link on every Jewish Research Page is now messed up
Whatever good you thought you might have been doing by editing links on all the Jewish Research pages did not work out well. Every link now is part of a sentence that ends with "by clicking [URL] her." Links are definitely not feminine :-)

First of all, the "clicking here." link was adequate because every browser reveals the target URL when the mouse is over it.

Second, showing all the lengthy URLs has a very cluttering effect on the page, making it less understandable.

Third, if some Wiki policy has been created to show all the URLs, then those URL need to be modified with some degree of respect for the context. With what you are doing, the entire sentence needs to be reworded.

Lastly, if you don't fix these pages, I think my best option is to just undo all your changes. When and if I get whatever policy you are following, I can go back and intelligently modify the pages to be compliant. This global search and replace business can never do it right.

I fixed the problem with the Jewish Family Finder template and added an additional template which includes to The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe. That is in English because the template is used on English Jewish research pages.

If you want it to show in Russian, you have to create a new bullet for the link in Russian and delete the template call.

Or, you can give me the correct Russian and I will do the editing.

I can do the same to replace the English template for the JewishGen Family Finder if you give me the Russian text.

We really appreciate your helping with this!
