Hangon templates?
Please prepare hangon templates for new pages that may otherwise be subject to speedy deletion. Thanx. Parker Gabriel 21:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think this template would be helpful. Even if you put this kind of template on the new pages, they will be nominated for speedy deletion as long as they meet criteria for speedy deletion. If you are writing a new article and the article is too short or has not much refereces, you would want to create your user subpages and develop the article there. eDenE  03:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Quick access to user templates
I have written a couple of templates that I find useful. For example, I have one that produced a kind of indented message box. By typing  , I produce:

Now I would like to have some convenient private way to refer to this template quickly and easily. I'd like some kind of private use variable which gets expanded immediately, so that it is never actually saved into a page, but substituted before being saved; much like the  convention for substituting my signature. If I could let $T be a sort of local variable that got replaced with  User:Duae_Quartunciae/T , then I could just type $T/inset (for example) and get my template full name. Is there any such facility for quick typing of long template names? Or indeed any such definition of local variables for convenience in substituting frequently repeated text into a wikitext edit box? A roughly equivalent solution would be to add customized buttons to the toolbox. &mdash;Duae Quartunciae (talk · cont)  15:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you are referring to the magic words? I don't quite understand what it is you are asking. If you want to include the whole page name without typing it out, you could try using , or somthing similar.  Hope this helps —   Scottjar   →   Talk   19:35, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * He is trying to define his own variables so that he can enter something quickly. But I don't think there is such function. eDenE  20:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You got it Edene. I guess I need to hack a script to add buttons to the toolbox; and that is not a template request. I'll try somewhere more appropriate. Thanks everyone, consider this request closed. &mdash;Duae Quartunciae (talk · cont)  04:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

parameter depending background
Hi,

Is it possible to make the background of a cell in a table depended of a parameter value?

I'm working on a template for national field hockey teams. I'd like to make the template multiple usable, so for countries from Europe, Oceania, Pan-America etc.

The value in the columnheader Continental Championship depends on the 'continent' parameter. Now the cells in this column must depend on this parameter. Example the row 1984, if 'continent' is Oceania i'd like to have the cell in the column Continental Championship stay green (in 1984 there was no Oceania Cup). If 'continent' is Europe than fill the cell with the results of the 1984 ECh.

I got 2 versions, both doesn't give the result I'd like to have.
 * Template text1
 *  |1984 
 *  |- }} 
 *  |- }} 


 * Template text2
 *  |1984 
 *  |- }} 
 *  |- }} 

McSmit 10:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * If  is , then cell background is.
 * If  is   and   is given, then no cell background and the text inside is.
 * If  is   and   is NOT given, then no cell background and the text inside is.

| 1984
 * {{#ifeq: {{{continent}}} | Europe | {{#if: {{{1984EC|}} | {{{1984EC}}} 1984 EC | not participated }}

I haven't tested, but this should work. If it's not working, it would be nice to give me the link for the template you are currently working on :D eDenE  16:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

DCAU
Could there be an external link template to the DCAU Wiki? Plenty of articles here link to that Wiki (Green Arrow, Darkseid), and I think they should be uniform. The template should be similar to Template:Sww. --217.129.169.136 14:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * This goes up against the Wikipedia policy at Reliable sources/Examples, which state, among things, "Wikis, including Wikipedia and other wikis sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation are not regarded as reliable sources." There's a whole discussion about a similar Marvel Universe Database here. In any event, before jumping into Project-wide linking, we need to arrive at a consensus. We're jumping the gun here, and these links appear to violate policy. --Tenebrae 14:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean to linkspam nor to violate any Wikipedia rule, but there are other linking templates to Wikis, namely Template:Memoryalpha and Template:Sww. I didn't think it was a big deal, since those already violate the Wikipedia policy at Reliable sources/Examples. I suppose I jumped the gun, so I'll ask over the WikiProject_Comics. --217.129.169.136 14:42, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism
I've requested this before but it got archived before anybody took up the request, so I'll try again. I could try to make it myself but I have no experience coding more complex templates like this one. The wording and template name are fairly specific this time, so it shouldn't be too much work for someone who knows what they are doing. Richard001 00:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:un-r (Template:un-reverting) (un=user notice)

Thank you for your efforts to fight vandalism (Optional link to diff). Your attempts to restore the page to a good version have not been fully successful however [Optional comparison of your edit and a full reversion] Please be sure to revert vandalism in future edits. Not reverting runs the risk of missing part of the vandalism, or not restoring text the vandal may have damaged or removed. This results in the vandal succeeding in damaging Wikipedia, which may encourage them to continue. Also, please be sure that you revert to a clean (vandal free) version. Looking at recent diffs in the page history is useful here. Thanks, and please continue helping to keep Wikipedia vandalism free!

 * Note that all additional fields are optional; the template works fine without them. Now, I didn't want to go outside what you gave me, but is it OK if I add a "[[Image:Information.svg‎|20px]]" to it? That way it looks more like a user warning, but it's up to you. Also, if anything needs to be fixed, just say so :) Cheers,  A r k <font color="#CC7722">y <font color= "#b7410e">¡Hablar!  20:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

LGBT oddities
On pregnancy, someone's become offended by our use of the pronoun "she"; I've put a notice at the top of the page to the effect of "this article uses she for simplicity's sake; see also male pregnancy and transman for male-identifying pregnancies" or whatever (it was worded better), but it'd be nice to have a generic template to the effect of "This article uses the pronoun [he or she, would be an option] for simplicity's sake, though examples of this occuring in the opposite gender do exist. For more information, see [optional parameter here]", just to let people know so they don't get offended. I bet a lot of people never thought about transmen pre-op becoming pregnant, so it's informative as well as preserving the editor's sanity. Kuronue | Talk 13:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm hardly an expert in the subject, but would this have many uses? If there aren't more than 5 or 6 articles that would use such a template, it may be easiest just to copy and change the text that's already there. Mr.  Z- man  17:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Articles shouldn't be written to account for every possible variation. Doing so will make the prose convoluted and confusing.  Truly notable variants can be discussed in their own section/article.  If we really end up with a lot of "FooBar in other gender" articles, I'm guessing it would be best to handle them on a case-by-case basis.  <font color="#00F">&mdash;dgies tc 18:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Manipulation template
I would like to add a template that indicates that a Wikipedia article is subject to systematic manipulation by a company or other entity that has multiple user account and tries to subtly bias the article in their direction. Here is my suggestion:

That this is a relevant scenario was shown not only by the WikiScanner, which sadly can only identify IP addresses and is blind to the scenario I mention, but also by the example of leaked MediaDefender mails, that clearly proof that manipulation attempts took place and by looking at the recent edits are still taking place, although on a more subtle level. Manipulation attempts by a group of users with usernames can only be prevented by having other users very carefully looking over all the edits, something that might not happen normally per WP:AGF. I am unsure if this template is already in the correct format and where to submit it to become official, so I am posting it here. --84.178.123.32 10:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Summary style template
This is one we seem to have a need for, but I can't find anything similar around. To be placed on the article that should be summarized:

This article should be summarized in (target article).

And on the target article:

This article should include a summary of (article to be summarized).

I've recently seen a suggestion of merging Criticism of Greenpeace with Greenpeace. A merge is clearly not the solution, yet nobody seems aware of what the obvious answer is. This template would be useful in such situations. It could be placed on the talk page or article page, like similar templates. I suggest the name Template:Summarizein and Template:Summarizefrom. It could even be a single template with a parameter for choosing which version, though this would probably be simpler. Richard001 10:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, never seen that one before... Thanks. I'll create a redirect for to it.

Actually, they're not really the same, are they? One is saying 'harmonize', the other is saying 'a summary of x is omitted; please include one'. Is there any way to 'harmonize' these two into one template? If I added it to the greenpeace example above editors might be confused as to what I was suggesting. Harmonize would generally be for situations where content is present in both articles, but doesn't say the same thing. It could at the furthest stretch mean this, but it would certainly be a source of potential confusion. I've tried broadening the scope by editing the template, but I think it might be better just to create a new pair. Richard001 06:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, Richard: ✅. I've made it so that the article field no longer needs the  prefix, and each field has the potential to work independently from the other (for example, the "to/from" field could be filled out with no article, or vice versa, and yes, they both work fine together =D).

Infant age
I need help creating a new template for infant age or possibly a combination birth date and age template. I have looked at the templates at Category:Date mathematics templates. I think a template converted age for infants under 1 year to ## mos. and ## days and switched to ## yrs and ## mos. from say 1-3 and then just years above. However, maybe I need two new templates for age in months and days and Age in years and months. Where can I seek such help. I have sought help at
 * Birth date and age - Template_talk:Birth_date_and_age
 * Age in years and days - Template_talk:Age_in_years_and_days
 * User current age's leading editor - User_talk:Alfakim

I also recently posted at Category_talk:Date_mathematics_templates, but that page does not have an active edit history.

The help desk directed me here.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 22:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem with integrating the parameter into the first two templates provided is that they're fully protected. The userbox should be relatively easy, though. However, because of the protection issue on the first two templates, you'd have to go to their talk pages, place an editprotected tag on them, and then gain consensus for the change. This scenario would make the template operate like   and work off a main template. Otherwise, I could create a totally new template that would do the same thing without being a parameter on a template. Hope this helps, and happy editing, ( <font color="#483C32" face="Verdana">ar <font color="#483C32" face="Verdana">ky ) 23:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It seems the people who edit these pages are not in favor of further parameterization of the templates. Therefore, I would appreciate either
 * a new template in which age formating can be parameterized with Y=Y/N M=Y/N D=Y/N.
 * new separate templates for age in months and days and Age in years and months.
 * a new  template that parametrically chooses either age in months or age in months and days for below age=1 and age in either years and months or just months for ages 1-2 or 1-3 and just age above.
 * a new  template that automatically chooses either age in months or age in months and days for below age=1 and age in either years and months or just months for ages 1-2 or 1-3 and just age above.
 * a new  template that parametrically chooses either age in months or age in months and days for below age=1 and age in either years and months or just months for ages 1-2 or 1-3 and just age above.
 * a new  template that automatically chooses either age in months or age in months and days for below age=1 and age in either years and months or just months for ages 1-2 or 1-3 and just age above.

It is possible something else closely related to these ideas would work as well you are the programmer and anything you can come up with would be helpful.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 12:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it makes sense to modify Birth date and age to show days and or months for sub-year ages. That being said, it might be a bit tricky to make it work, and it would have to be tested rigorously with many possible combinations of variables in that template.  Only when you're positive it will have no effect on existing usage should you use editprotected or make a request at WP:REQT. <font color="#00F">&mdash;dgies tc 22:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Sure, I can add that feature. Also, the reason the template is messed up on its own page is because it uses mathematical expressions, and, since no variables are defined on the page itself, the template freaks out and displays all sorts of error messages (I hope that makes sense =D).

The picture on this template doesn't work.

hyphy

Can someone fix this or make a new one? Sorchah 23:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If you mean user hyphy, the image was deleted . It's not a template problem so much as an image problem. Anomie 03:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what I meant.


 * So I could change the template by just putting a new image in? Sorchah 04:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. Or if you have an image of a US school bus that has a free license, you could just upload it to that name. Anomie 11:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Amplifier Infobox Template
For WikiProject:Guitarists, I would like a template for amplifiers. It should be similar to the already existing infobox for guitars. I was thinking of something along these lines:

Euroleague roster template
Hi. I created an Euroleague roster template, very similar to the NBA one. The problem is that in Europe there are a lot of players with two nationalities, and in these templates you can only specify one. Could you add an option to add another one if it is necessary. For example, in the Template:CB Girona, Ariel McDonald should be american and slovenian. Thank you! :-) MontanNito 01:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Template:WP conlangs
I did a fairly perfunctory clone from Template:WP languages. I'd like someone who knows what they're doing to go through it and
 * check that all appropriate links are changed (one gotcha: WP:CL uses the WP:Lang infobox)
 * prettify as relevant
 * add an 'importance' grading in addition to the 'quality' one - e.g. Template:WP Sexuality
 * add a usage page and/or link somewhere in the template explaining how to uses its paramaters - e.g. Template:Uk-crime
 * add an infobox on WP:CL a la WP:Lang (top right) showing totals and links to categories of articles by relevance & by quality
 * make it handle assessment comments subpages
 * make sure all relevant categories exist (e.g. I had to manually add (and <-- doesn't work without nowiki tags, wtf?))
 * anything else that'd improve the template or project page (or the interaction between the two)

Please feel free to comment here or on my talk page if any of that is unclear. While I'm a programmer, I'm not much of a designer and I'm not familiar enough with the fancy style wikification used in templates to be comfortable doing this myself.

As a higher-level suggestion, it would be good to have a metatemplate for this, so that the template code could just look like this (psuedocoding...):

Ditto for the project page infobox of articles by quality/relevance, etc. That way, it wouldn't have to be redone a bunch, and the code could be consolidated into something that's better maintained.

Thanks! Sai Emrys  ¿?   ✍  01:11, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I've made a pass at it in Template:WP conlangs sandbox, but I've messed up something or other. I can't tell what. Code is cobbled from Template:WP Sexuality, Template:WPBiography, and Template:WP languages. Someone please fix and move over into the non-sandbox version? Thanks!

Audio requests
Would someone be able to add the capacity to have subcategories given in audio requests, as with requested pictures? Something like would produce 'Category:Requested audio of animals'. The category is approaching its second page and separating e.g. music from zoological requests is very difficult. Richard001 07:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Dita Von Teese
Is there any chance of a userbox for fans of Dita Von Teese? something with a Martini Glass as the image, and text that, "this user is a fan of Burlesque and the Art of Teese", I'm not sure how these things work (if anyone can tell me how to make this myself, that'd be better), but I think this'd be nice.

User warning template for an editor who cited a non-reliable source
I'm looking for a template similar to Needsource, but for cases where an editor did provide a source but the source was not considered reliable. If such a template doesn't exist, would someone be so kind as to create one? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Ancient event
There are many articles documenting ancient historical events about which facts are scarce, conflicting and/or subject to debate. There are several competing chronologies making it impossible to accurately date ancient events. The exact dates and details of many ancient events may never be known. This fact is a recurring problem for editors and unless stated within individual articles, not apparent to the reader. A template similar to current and future is needed to warn the reader that an article documents or is related to such an event. Donnie Love 23:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

There should be a userbox that says: "This user is an RBD addict" The picture should be the cover of Empezar Desde Cero. Empezardesdecero123 00:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Templates for entire media franchises
I had this idea to create templates for whole media franchises. I thought this when I was monitoring the pages for large media empires like The Simpsons and Pokémon, as they had many different types of media. I thought up of some fields and wrote them down, I'm looking for someone who could decode the HTML for it if it's a good idea.

Could anyone say if this is a good idea on my talk page? Thanks, æt<font color="#008000">'ə' rnal <font color="#808000">ðrAعon 08:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Abba userbox
<div style="float:; border:px solid ; margin:1px;" class="wikipediauserbox"> I've done a bit of snooping around and I haven't been able to find an Abba userbox. (I'm a little surprised actually.) I've created one here User:Supasaru/Sandbox and I like its simple look (as shown here).

My question is this: Can someone help me with the whole Category:Wikipedians who like xyz thing? As far as I can tell, that category doesn't exist, and I'm not sure how to create it and then include that in my userbox.

 * As far as I can tell, none of the other "user is a fan of band" userboxes (listed on Userboxes/Music/Bands) have this kind of categorization, so I don't think you need to start a new one here. Andrwsc 20:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for checking for me. I just assumed that because userboxes for TV shows (like ones for The Simpsons & for Buffy) added a , so music-related userboxes would do the same. • <font color="#1100ff">Supā <font color="#ff0011">saru  21:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Need parameter to suppress two table rows
In Family Guy character, I'm trying to add an optional format parameter where "format = short" will suppress the "Character information" and "Show information" bars. Default (if format is empty, not given, or !="short") should be to display these rows (in other words, unchanged from current).

Have tried surrounding these sections with an #if statement, and substituting ! for pipes, but I'm not seeing the solution. I've gotten some (to me) paradoxical results that lead me to believe I don't understand what's happening. Sandbox. / edg ☺ ☭ 01:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

ReelzChannel Template
I would like a template that provides links to articles on the movies website ReelzChannel. The template would be similar to Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb.
