I do notice with the new code you gave me there are still issues as when it opens a new link it ends up like "span class=reference-text Gen 1:1" I saw something in the old code that included span class="reference-text", but didn't realize until now that was being automatically inserted into the URL, for some odd reason, by the reference/cite software itself, and not being manually entered by an editor. So complicated! :)

Knowing this, I ran some tests of the #replace function on my sandbox to figure out how to remove two separate search items from one text string, i.e. removing  and   from the generated URL.

So now try using this and see if it fixes that issue. ↑ {{#NewWindowLink:http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search={{urlencode:{{#replace:{{#replace:$3| }}| }}|$3}}

With AWB I actually myself do all the bot work around here Ah, so you're already a user of AWB. Nice. :) As I said, as far as regex goes, I just use the one that loads by default, which is found here.

As the infoboxes (including BibleBook, Person and Nation) I was thinking an entire revamp. I would rather have them look more like the infoboxes do at Wookieepedia (like on Padme, Anakin) with having it more of a box and not have the colums. It would still include the dividers on it (for example Chronological, Political, etc) but the name of the parameter wouldn't have a seperate box from the value rather it would just the parameter with a little space and then the value. Got it. I'll get those updated tomorrow. I still think the current red works fine, since it matches the color of the buttons and the navigation menu.

The auto-syncing thing I mean when I update the template it doesn't update the code on the pages. From the Noah article, when I update the actual source template the parameters don't update themselves and that has caused certain ones to not work unless I delete it and manually re-insert everything. In your example, you used  which is calling Template:Person, which is actually redirected to Template:Infobox Person. What this means is that whenever you update a page that is using  (and not  ), there is going to be a delay before you actually see the updates reflected on the page, due to the time it takes for the server cache to update itself, resulting from calling (using) a redirected template rather than the actual template. To "fix" this, you could run the AWB bot and use the Find and Replace feature to replace every instace of  to. Of course, you could do that manually, but it would simply be faster using AWB.
