User:Emperor/Tools

A collection of useful templates, bits and bobs of code and other stuff I find useful.

Templates

 * gcdb, gcdb series and gcdb publisher - ones I made


 * comicbookdb - another one I made


 * birth date and age - e.g. January 31, 1960


 * birth date and death date and age - for those that have died, as in this example I added to Georges Méliès: December 8, 1861 and January 21, 1938


 * cite web - e.g.


 * cite comic


 * comics-infobox-image-issue - for tagging infobox image problems


 * comics-stub - more specific ones are listed


 * descript-cvr - for comics covers, for example Thing (comics)


 * Comics story arc redi - for redirects e.g.

Infoboxes
The common ones I use mostly:


 * Infobox comic book title
 * Infobox comics story arc
 * Infobox comics creator
 * Infobox comics character
 * Infobox comics location
 * Infobox Graphic novel
 * Infobox comics meta series
 * Infobox comics creator biblio
 * Infobox comics genre

Redirect reasons
I am trying to add reasons for redirects, the full list is at: WP:REDIRECT


 * R comics with possibilities - for anything that could be an article


 * R comics naming convention - handy for making sure the naming is right and some links to SIA pages


 * R comics to section variant of R to section - so you can set up an article and point it to the right section in a page and it allows for easy updating, for example Brute (Reed Richards)


 * R from member - handy if members of a team aren't notable themselves


 * R from other capitalisation - always useful


 * R comics from alternative name variant of R from alternative name - useful for picking up alter egos


 * R from alternate character - for redirect to "alternate versions" sections or articles


 * R comics from related word


 * R comics from merge


 * R comics to list entry


 * R from alternative spelling


 * R from title without diacritics - if accents are used in the title


 * R to disambiguation page - handy for WP:SETINDEX when you need to link to a disambiguation page that occupies the top slot

Ready rolled templates
I often drop them in and do a quick re-edit as it saves time.
