At the moment {{Rp|15}}, {{Rp|page=15}}, {{Rp|15-16}} and {{Rp|pages=15-16}} give: :15, (p15), and :15-16 (pp15-16). This means an inconsistent mix, plus language translation issues that would involve editing the references rather than just the supporting text (I don't think p/pp would be recognized in non-latin character sets eg Japanese or Chinese). To resolve this I plan to change the template so that the (p15) and (pp15-16) options just display at numbers. The at option {{Rp|at=front cover}} displays (front cover), so translations isn't needed. Njt (talk) 10:42, September 23, 2019 (EDT)

I think (p15) would be understood in foreign languages, since it’s commonly seen everywhere, but :15 and (15) look funny and are confusing to me, and may be unclear in any language. In particular, (15) just looks like another citation. Just my 2 cents!
