external image badlink
heya thad. can you change the redlink in the external images badlink template to wikilink to Images? Way helpful for the person being warned, and better than an empty article. JoeSmack Talk 06:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Update: Go for it. While my template is in user namespace, it's still a wiki. Edit it to your heart's delight. thadius856talk 18:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

badlink template
Your wording is flawed. Nearly all external links are to non-encyclopedic sources. Newspaper articles, corporate websites, editorials, official myspace pages, all are not encyclopedic, but constitute legitimate link targets. You should change the language so as not to confuse things on what's an acceptable link. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 04:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, explain the howto problem
Hi, saw you put the template into the horse breeding article. That's a new one for me. I would be glad to clean up that article to wikipedia standards (I already did some work on it, though it still has a long ways to go), but could you maybe give me a couple pointers on what you considered too much of a "how to" section? Just kind of a jump start to help me figure it out...thanks Montanabw 00:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Update: The entire Choosing a stallion section reads like a how-to guide. Yes, there is some useful information in there... it just needs to be reworked into different sections. Hope it helps! thadius856talk 04:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Good example, thanks! Will put it on the to do list, may take a while...at the moment am finding myself editing messy articles about ranches and cowboys... =:-O.  Montanabw 19:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
