Wikipedia talk:Talk page templates

subst this page
It may be a good idea to 'subst' all templates on the WP:TS page, because now that page shows up in a whole lot of unrelated categories. Radiant_* 08:54, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Mixing requirements sets and the end of discussion on standards (?)
It seems to me that you've fallen into a trap that everyone does at one time or another when doing work of this kind, that of mixing implementation (or system requirements) with user requirements. The whole business about the code here is a system requirement and should be divorced from and considered separately from standards about appearance of the templates. Before going on, though, it seems that the standard as outlined on the project page is the standard, period, and that discussion is over essentially, considering the fact that people are changing templates to "conform" at present. Is that correct? Courtland July 4, 2005 14:01 (UTC)

What the?
CSS is messed up somewhere. Please have a look at talk:G-caron:


 * 1) "The CSS for this template should be changed"—there ain't no template there.  Please rewrite the note so it makes sense.
 * 2) "See Template Standardisation "—that link redirects. Please correct the capitalization in the CSS.

Thanks. —Michael Z. 2006-01-24 03:22 Z 

Improving template code
I've made a proposal for converting disambiguation templates from table layouts to CSS-based ones atMediaWiki_talk:Common.css. —Michael Z. 2006-11-07 05:32 Z 

Request for clarification
Does this guideline apply to talk page templates that are not at the top of the talk page, such as rfctag? &mdash;harej (talk) 18:48, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, any template that goes anywhere on a talk page should use this standard. (Unless it is an example showing of a template that normally should be placed in some other namespace, like an article template.) And I see that rfctag now uses this brown standard (when it is is placed on a talk page, on its template page it shows other colours). --David Göthberg (talk) 17:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
