Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/templates

This page displays the contents of all New Jersey–related templates for easy access and organization. For a pure list of the templates that does not display their contents, see the main WikiProject New Jersey page's template section or WikiProject New Jersey/templatelist.

If adding templates to this list, remember to add them to the pure list (which does not also display their contents) at WikiProject New Jersey/templatelist. Longer template sections that consume a lot of space (such as the county box templates) should be added to the end, while shorter template sections should be listed in a somewhat descending order of importance from the top.

Usage notes

 * The following had been proposed in WP:NJ's template section. However, I believe this has been resolved in the standard New Jersey template, and if it has not been, it should be resolved in that template so that the template does not have to be added to every article again. //MrD9 03:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The template Template:New Jersey New is a more streamlined version that could or should go at the bottom of all New Jersey-related articles. The main issue has been deciding the cities to be included. Once you get past Newark, Jersey City, Paterson and Elizabeth (all over 100,000 as of the 2000 Census), you start running into municipalities that are mostly suburban sprawl over a large area, rather than your classic city as in most states. Hackensack (42,677 residents), Atlantic City (40,517) and Hoboken (38,577) are all cities that people might be familiar with, yet they rank merely 42nd, 44th and 53rd on the List of municipalities in New Jersey (by population). How can a list be chosen that objectively reflects the cities / municipalities that should be included?


 * WikiProject U.S. states/state templates contains a list and display of U.S. state and territory templates (in a layout similar to this page's). Ideas can be taken from the other states' templates to potentially improve New Jersey's template.

User award templates
To use, type: message ~

Usage notes
This template uses the 'extended' assessment scale. To the right is a complete listing of the available classes to be used when assessing pages related to WikiProject New Jersey. One of these classes should be given for every page with the template.

The template should be placed at the top of the talk page for the article. The syntax for using the template is as follows:

 

Adding the attention=yes parameter will add the article to Category:New Jersey articles needing attention.


 * see WikiProject New Jersey/Assessment for instructions on assessing articles

Collaboration of the Week templates
These templates are involved with the New Jersey Collaboration of the Week, a collaborative effort to reduce the number of nonexistent New Jersey articles and to improve the quality of existing articles about New Jersey.

Usage notes

 * The NJCOTW has been unused for some time. This does not mean that interested editors could not revive the project.

History template
This is a small, right-aligned box to go at the top of New Jersey history articles.

Municipality templates
This template will be a vertical box that goes in the top right of the articles of New Jersey's municipalities. It has not yet been developed, and before it can be developed, consensus must be reached on whether or not it should be created. If it is created, it must also be considered whether or not it should appear on nonincorporated areas' pages, and if it does appear on them, if it should be for that specific area or just a clone of the box for the incorporated area in which it lies. Other issues may also have to be considered.

Originally, "Template:Infobox Town NJ" had been proposed for this purpose. However, I suggest some variation of Template:Infobox NJ municipality or Template:Infobox NJ muni (or some other version, but using some variation of "municipality" rather than "town"). //MrD9 03:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

School Report Card template
This template goes at the bottom of New Jersey high school, school district, municipality and other unincorporated area, and other relevant pages. It produces a link, often in the "External links" section of a page, to the New Jersey Department of Education's school report cards. There are two "versions" of links this template will produce: one for a school's report card and one for a school district's report card. Both, however, are created by this one template, with the parameters determining which type of link to produce.

Template

 * NJReportCard :
 * Note: This template does not show up correctly on this page becuase there are parameters that must be filled out. See Template talk:NJReportCard for syntax and usage instructions.

Usage notes

 * This template is usually preceded by an asterisk, since it is usually used in a bulleted list of external links. Example: *

Usage notes

 * Template:NJ Legislative 37 has been created as a sample paragraph to be included in a "Federal, State and county representation" section for each municipality. I have already created such a section on the Teaneck, New Jersey page and have completed all of the 70 municipalities in Bergen County, New Jersey, all of Hudson County, New Jersey and almost all of Essex County, New Jersey and Passaic County, New Jersey, a total over 110 of 566 New Jersey's municipalities.

Usage notes

 * The only issue is those counties (e.g. Hudson County, New Jersey) with County-level wards as opposed to elections at-large. We shouldn't list all the Freeholders in the county on the page for a particular township if only some of the Freeholders represent that municipality. Alansohn 17:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Essex County has wards, but with 21 towns, on a first pass, on the town pages, I just swapped in thenew NJ Essex County Commissioners template to replace the Freeholders template. To refine that would require splitting the Commissioners template into at-large and ward levels. Bruce Esrig (talk) 02:22, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

County templates
These templates list the municipalities in their respective counties. Many of them also include other unincorporated areas, important landmarks, and links to pages with other significant or important information. They are to be placed at the bottom of the pages of their respective municipalities and on the bottoms of other relative pages.

Usage notes

 * I've started work on creating municipality templates for each county. I created model templates for Bergen, Hudson and Passaic Counties and added the template links for each municipality page within these three counties. See Template:Bergen County, New Jersey, Template:Hudson County, New Jersey and Template:Passaic County, New Jersey for the samples. Anyone want to grab any of the other 18 counties? Any thoughts on how to list CDP's and other unincorporated areas? Alansohn 13:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll try Template:Essex County, New Jersey. I'm not sure what CDP's are, but what about well known neighborhoods that even have their own zip codes, e.g., Short Hills, etc.? "Short Hills and Upper Montclair have separate zip-codes and practically function as more upscale, near-separate towns within towns. Upper Montclair and Short Hills both have separate business districts" Essex County, New Jersey? In any event, I guess I have jumped on board to this project (but with limited time -- more like dipping my toe in!) Sholom 14:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Err, one question already. The township of Nutley is a Walsh Act town.  Should that be listed in the townships line, or have a separate line for Walsh Act towns. (I'm a neophyte here, but I am tending towards the latter view).  Thoughts? Sholom 14:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Usage notes
Both of the last two templates do not show up correctly on this page because there are parameters that must be filled out. See each template's talk for syntax and usage instructions.
