 * Help needed

This "Trump–Russia relations" sidebar template needs much more development and checking for any issues that might be involved: content, NPOV, etc.

It can be associated with a new category Category:Trump–Russia relations and Trump–Russia relations mother article (which shortly summarizes all the content found in related articles). The abundance of topics and Trump's history with Russia-related businesses, intrigues, people, women, and other matters justifies this move.

The documentation part needs to be created. I have never dealt with documentation before.

Any suggestions are welcome. Pinging a varied group (subject matter experts, template creator, admins): Soibangla, Andre, Tuckerlieberman, SMcCandlish, Volunteer Marek, Space4Time3Continuum2x, MrX, Muboshgu, Doug Weller. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:32, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry, not really in my wheelhouse. Doug Weller  talk 18:59, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That's okay. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:28, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what a template is, sorry. I should know, but I don't. Is it the sidebar with the list of links to related articles?
 * If so, are you asking for a simple review of which article links are included in / excluded from the sidebar...or do you think we need a more in-depth review of the text of each linked article?
 * The links you provided are red (i.e., not created yet). I don't see a template for Trump_Russia either. Are you referring to the template for "Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections"? Tuckerlieberman (talk) 19:10, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * See the page itself, not just this talk page. There you'll see a section for "Trump–Russia relations sidebar". That's the one under development. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:27, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks pretty good to me so far. Andre🚐 20:32, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you still need help with this? I've never dealt with templates before, so all I can do is suggest copying an existing one, e.g., Template:Donald_Trump_series and its documentation template Template:Donald_Trump/doc.  I can take a look at those tomorrow, see if I can figure them out.  Space4Time3Continuum2x  (talk) 19:12, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That's actually the template I used and then adapted based on some other templates. I hadn't thought of just using the documentation from that one but maybe I can figure out how to adapt it. Thanks. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 00:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, now I've looked at that documentation page and don't see how I can use it. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 00:14, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Right now, there is no Template: Trump-Russia relations. Wouldn't you need that first before you can create a Template: Trump-Russia relations/doc? And then replace the contents of Template: Donald Trump/doc? Like so (some lines only visible in the editor):

Trump-Russia related navigation templates
// ARE THERE ANY? OR THE SAME AS THE SIDEBAR CATEGORIES? // Articles about Trump-Russia relations are organized into several themes. Because of the large number of articles involved, full navigation is split among several navboxes: Duplication of contents across each of those should be avoided.
 * Donald Trump as a generic presidential biography template
 * Trump businesses focusing on Trump's business career in real estate and miscellaneous ventures
 * Trump family about family members, relations and ancestry
 * Trump media grouping Trump's media productions, media appearances and third-party works about Trump
 * Trump presidency focusing on the election campaign, transition and presidency
 * Trump executive actions lists the Trump administration's executive actions, including executive orders and presidential memoranda

There is also a navigation sidebar, Trump-Russia relations, which should only include a selection of the most relevant articles.

For the navigation sidebar Trump-Russia relations, the state parameter has no effect; however, the expanded parameter can have the following values to expand their respective sections on specific pages: Use of the expanded parameter on this template causes the Business interactions section to collapse automatically. Any other value for the expanded parameter will cause all sections to collapse.
 * Business interactions
 * Russian election interference
 * Investigations and reports
 * People
 * Deception and conspiracy theories
 * Categories

I'm just guessing. If this doesn't work: the template: Donald Trump/doc was created by editor JJMC89 and expanded by JFG. Both are still active on WP. Maybe they can help? Space4Time3Continuum2x (talk) 19:49, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
