Some articles are likely to be subject of disputes during the time their contents are discussed in the political life. A template should be created to inform that a current policy is to be changed. Much precautions should be taken when editing it until the new policy becomes official. I also fear that the old policy description disappears, while it should be transferred under a historical section.
The idea came to me because of the upcoming French territorial re-administration ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comit%C3%A9_pour_la_r%C3%A9forme_des_collectivit%C3%A9s_locales). During the next few months (until 2014), the following articles are to be deeply modified, although nobody really know precisely how and to which extends (upcoming elections): Administrative divisions of France, Departments of France, Regions of France, Communes_of_France#Intercommunality, Overseas regions of France, and so on...
The template should go like: "This article is currently subject to important political discussions that will decide the way it is to be edited. The present content will become obsolete within a period of <TIME>, and should be moved into a historical section. If you want to update the present content, be very careful to use official and definitive informations linked with their proper sources."

Hi, template-making people! — Please could I have a template similar to {{inuse}} that says something like "This article is in the process of being translated from (article link) in the (foreign language) wikipedia. In order to reduce edit conflicts, please consider not editing it while translation is in progress" ? — The reason I need it is because otherwise I get annoyed by {{db-whatever}} spam from recent changes patrollers if I save it before I get as far as the references or indications of notability.

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct place, if it's not, please tell me where can I ask for it. I would like to improve the Template:Infobox Euroleague Player by adding the chance to put the height in meters, and the weight in kg, for the reasons explained at the talk page. I tried it, but I failed when I had to change the height and weight parameters to optional paramameters. I undid the changes in order to do not affect all the articles which use this template, but you can check my attempt in the history page. Could somebody help me with it? Thank you.

As [1] shows there are ~ 300 occurrences where the template generates links that are technically working, but not actually valid. When I mentioned the same thing in the german wikipedia (there with the leading slash only) two nice persons modified the template to correct those on the fly. [2]
This is a protected template used in several thousand articles, so apart from me not being able to edit it anyway, I would like somene with more experience than me to do the work.
From the discussion in the german wiki [3], I know that in some type of solution a problem can occur with encoded pathnames like the following, please check that this still works.

{{ Gnosticism}}, a template I have never edited (and I can not stress this enough), is fundamentally in need of redecorating.

Template:Location map helps make easy-to-generate locator maps for infoboxes. See, e.g. Phnom Penh. However, it uses only an equirectangular projection, which is pretty crappy for locations near the poles. I've noticed that the Alaska map is pretty atrocious. See the shape of Alaska in the Nome, Alaska infobox and compare it to the (more accurate) shape of Alaska in the Fairbanks infobox. Is there someone clever with math who can make an equation for a non-equirectangular projection (I know basically nothing about this topic so I can't suggest a better one) to create some alternative, non-horribly-skewed map for infoboxes of places like Alaska?

In the wee hours of the morning, I created the template {{ ifparadef}}, which can detect if a parameter has been defined, and if it's empty (or contains only whitespace) or not. However, even after a couple hours of sleep, I still can't quite wrap my head around all the transclusion logic necessary to fully understand its actual behaviour, so I'm still not quite sure if it will behave as it should (as described in the documentation). Happy-melon seems to have reviewed it already, which puts me somewhat more at ease, but I'd still appreciate more second opinions from other template mastaz (preferably those with a full night's sleep under their belt =D ).

Hi everyone. I don't know how to do it myself, and so I'm asking here. I'd be super grateful if someone could help. I'm after a simple template, something like this:
{{SeeAlsoSideBox|Political history of the Roman military}}
I want it to be on the right hand side. Closed at first, but when you click "show" to reveal a list of legal cases, which would be one below the other. So you click it, it would show for instance,
Preferably the standard light blue colour would be best. The heading of the box could be things like "Leading cases on consideration" or "estoppel" or something. If anybody could do this (I'm sure the experts can whip this up in a flash!) then it'd be superb. Please let me know. Wik idea 00:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Just to add one thing, I expect that if I want templates with different lists, that's a new template. But if some cool individual would just make one for me, then I can easily replicate more myself. Just don't know the codey stuff. Wik idea 00:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Isn't it already on the right side of the page? I'll add a parameter so that it can be chosen. About the two lines of text, it goes to two lines because it is being formatted to be centered.

Not sure what your asking with the second question but to create a specific template you would just put the {{ caselist}} code into a new template as you said. I could do it for you but it's very easy. (Also, I figured out why it wasn't showing up on the side for you). -- Yarnalgo talk to me 22:58, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I don't know what specific cases you want or what you want for the names of the templates so I'll let you create them. All you have to do is go to the template page (like
Template:Casebox consideration) and paste the {{
caselist}} code (exactly what you wrote for the last one on this page). Then to put it in an article, you would put in {{Casebox consideration}}
just like normal. If you want to give me a list of titles/cases I can make them for you but you should learn so you can do it in the future on your own. --

Now that the WP:Categories of the form 'Coastal settlements in ... ' are being used regularly then this suggests that a 'Coastal settlement' navbox would prove useful. Does such a template already exist for this need? If it does not exist then read on.
Proposed structure:
{{Coastal_settlements navbox |coast= |place= |settlement= |anticlockwise= |clockwise= }}
example:
{{Coastal_settlements navbox |coast = [[:Category:Coastal settlements in North Yorkshire|Coastal settlements]] |county = [[North Yorkshire]] |settlement = Saltburn-by-the-Sea |anticlockwise = [[Marske-by-the-Sea]] |clockwise = [[Skinningrove]] }}

I try at times to contribute to less edited corners of Wikipedia. Articles tagged with {{ expand}} are one source of such articles. Every once in a while I run into an article that has already briefly established the subject's notability but is nevertheless hard to expand, at least hard to do so using Google and other search engines. To save a future editor the trouble of going through what I did, I'd like a maintenance template that basically says something like the following:
The following article is about a
notable subject which appears difficult to expand using
web search engines and other online reference material. Please consult alternative
reference works to add to this article. Further information might be found on this article's talk page. {June 2009) |

I request a new date math template. Consider the common case when the only thing you know is that someone was a certain age as of a certain date, e.g. from http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/arts/television/20pbs.html?pagewanted=print
We need a {{ Birth year and age based on age as of date}} template that producing results just like {{ Birth year and age}}. The arguments for the example would be:
Based on that information, we know that Mr. Savidge was born in either 1957 or 1958. We also know that (in 2008) his age is 49/50 (between January 1 and August 19), and 50/51 (between August 20 and December 31).
As far as I know, we don't have a template for this (correct me if I'm wrong). Thanks.

For the "sanity check", none of the other birth/death date templates have a check like this and we shouldn't really assume they'll be mixed up. (See the note on {{ Age}}: "Note: This template does not check for incorrect input"). I'm adding support for the month to be named, either abbreviated or in full, so that "august" and "aug" will also work. It might me easier to just use the month abbreviations in the documentation so that there is less of a chance they'll be mixed up. As far as dual dating, I can't find any support for it in the other birth/death date templates so I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm not sure how big an issue it is and if it is necessary to add support or not.-- Yarnalgo talk to me 23:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

The template needs some new fields added to it. It is currently lacking a lot core ones. here is the basic discussion. More info of what's needed can be found at template talk:cite video game, but not everything there is needed (offhand i know issue and volume aren't needed). Also we need something like print=preoder/1st or 1stprint=yes - for print run editions as 1st print runs/preorders in a number of cases for video games contain special/exclusive content. This is not the same as version which tells the software's version. We may also want chapter as several games are formated/released as such. This would be in addition to level.

There's no template to request an article be transwikied to a Wikipedia in a different language. Many non-English articles seem to be created on English Wikipedia, when they should be created in some other language. But for GFDL reasons, a simple copy and paste is inappropriate, so there should be a way to request a transwiki to another language, like we already have for other Wikimedia Foundation projects (ie. {{ Copy to wiktionary}} , {{ Copy to wikibooks}} , etc - For English)
It also would be useful to adapt the transwiki templates for other Wikimedia Foundation projects to support selecting a target language. (for non-English articles that should be on say... German Wiktionary)

I think the american sidebar format looks much nicer and just because the data exists, it does not really add anything to the articles to include the past 10 years of university rankings for each university - as to whether we just build one template or two separate ones, my only thought is that the syntax is already quite long for the US template and there are really only the few international rankings that overlap so it might be less confusing if they were separate, though its no big deal either way Ajbpearce ( talk) 10:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I would like to make a sortable wikitable that has column spanning captabilities. A similar template was already setup in 2 parts by {{ Furry-con-list-start}} and {{ Furry-con-list-entry}} GreenReaper, however he is unable to help because of RL circumstances. Due to some of the compliexities of this template listing multiple Japanese titles translated into English for various platforms and operating systems that sometimes changed them when translated and the multiple relevant ways one can sort this (Alphanumeric, original japanese release date, original english release date to name the 3 most likely ones) a sortable template with columnspanning is necessary.
I have setup a basic format (minus the sorting mechanism) how I'd like the end result to be at User:Jinnai/VN. The problem I am running into particulary is making the second row header sortable and also sub-divided under the first larger one. Using a basic "wikitable sortable" makes the top header sortable, but not those underneath. In addition, I need the notes section, as mentioned above, to span the entire length. Finally, the "link" header, should also not be sortable. 陣 内 Jinnai 22:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Did some testing and I was trying to get the text to wrap like it does in the template I listed above. Unfortunatly my attempts failed. Looking at that example I cannot see how they got it to wrap. Nor could I figure out if there was a way to use overflow:auto

The {{ Rtd}} and {{ Rb}} templates are used on talk pages to archive discussions where files tagged with {{ di-replaceable fair use}} were deleted after being tagged with {{ replaceable fair use disputed}}.
Currently, these templates are not substituted, they don't allow the signature of the closing admin to display properly and, despite the claim at {{ Rtd}}, does not categorize these talk pages in Category:Talk pages of deleted replaceable fair use images. I've created a subpage here of three example inputs and their outcome, all problematic, as well as a desired outcome. Basically, the end result should substitute both templates, include the admin's signature on the {{ Rtd}} template and the {{ Rb}} template should add the aforementioned category to the file talk page.
Hopefully this isn't too complicated of a request. — ξ xplicit 22:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Some articles are likely to be subject of disputes during the time their contents are discussed in the political life. A template should be created to inform that a current policy is to be changed. Much precautions should be taken when editing it until the new policy becomes official. I also fear that the old policy description disappears, while it should be transferred under a historical section.
The idea came to me because of the upcoming French territorial re-administration ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comit%C3%A9_pour_la_r%C3%A9forme_des_collectivit%C3%A9s_locales). During the next few months (until 2014), the following articles are to be deeply modified, although nobody really know precisely how and to which extends (upcoming elections): Administrative divisions of France, Departments of France, Regions of France, Communes_of_France#Intercommunality, Overseas regions of France, and so on...
The template should go like: "This article is currently subject to important political discussions that will decide the way it is to be edited. The present content will become obsolete within a period of <TIME>, and should be moved into a historical section. If you want to update the present content, be very careful to use official and definitive informations linked with their proper sources."

As [1] shows there are ~ 300 occurrences where the template generates links that are technically working, but not actually valid. When I mentioned the same thing in the german wikipedia (there with the leading slash only) two nice persons modified the template to correct those on the fly. [2]

Template:Location map helps make easy-to-generate locator maps for infoboxes. See, e.g. Phnom Penh. However, it uses only an equirectangular projection, which is pretty crappy for locations near the poles. I've noticed that the Alaska map is pretty atrocious. See the shape of Alaska in the Nome, Alaska infobox and compare it to the (more accurate) shape of Alaska in the Fairbanks infobox. Is there someone clever with math who can make an equation for a non-equirectangular projection (I know basically nothing about this topic so I can't suggest a better one) to create some alternative, non-horribly-skewed map for infoboxes of places like Alaska?

Not sure what your asking with the second question but to create a specific template you would just put the {{ caselist}} code into a new template as you said.

I don't know what specific cases you want or what you want for the names of the templates so I'll let you create them. All you have to do is go to the template page (like
Template:Casebox consideration) and paste the {{
caselist}} code (exactly what you wrote for the last one on this page). Then to put it in an article, you would put in {{Casebox consideration}}
just like normal. If you want to give me a list of titles/cases I can make them for you but you should learn so you can do it in the future on your own. --

For the "sanity check", none of the other birth/death date templates have a check like this and we shouldn't really assume they'll be mixed up.

I'm adding support for the month to be named, either abbreviated or in full, so that "august" and "aug" will also work. It might me easier to just use the month abbreviations in the documentation so that there is less of a chance they'll be mixed up. As far as dual dating, I can't find any support for it in the other birth/death date templates so I'm not sure what to do about it.

Additional parameter required - name with subpage of Interwiki synchronization page for producing corresponding link to it in template output. This template will be used on articles that produces conflicts. Also it can be useful if template add article to category with name, for example, "Articles with interwiki conflicts". Please, ask me for further details if needed. Thanks in advance. DixonD ( talk) 11:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
The template needs some new fields added to it. It is currently lacking a lot core ones. here is the basic discussion. More info of what's needed can be found at template talk:cite video game, but not everything there is needed (offhand i know issue and volume aren't needed). Also we need something like print=preoder/1st or 1stprint=yes - for print run editions as 1st print runs/preorders in a number of cases for video games contain special/exclusive content. This is not the same as version which tells the software's version. We may also want chapter as several games are formated/released as such. This would be in addition to level. Finally isolang should be removed as it is redundant with language. 陣 内 Jinnai 22:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I would like a template that I could put on the talk page for articles that use some material from a non-English wikipedia article, but where the original article is in English. The existing template implies that the original article is the non-English article. For instance, I would like to acknowledge that some of the material in the article Diamond Rock came from the French article Rocher de Diamant. Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 15:17, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
(undent) You can use {{ Frenchtrans}} which gives the output:
This is meant to be used in the external links or reference section in the article (not on the talk page). Also see the template page because there are more options (specific revision, article name). -- Yarnalgo talk to me 05:57, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

There's no template to request an article be transwikied to a Wikipedia in a different language. Many non-English articles seem to be created on English Wikipedia, when they should be created in some other language. But for GFDL reasons, a simple copy and paste is inappropriate, so there should be a way to request a transwiki to another language, like we already have for other Wikimedia Foundation projects (ie. {{ Copy to wiktionary}} , {{ Copy to wikibooks}} , etc - For English)
It also would be useful to adapt the transwiki templates for other Wikimedia Foundation projects to support selecting a target language. (for non-English articles that should be on say... German Wiktionary)

I'd like to see a template that generates a link to a "Random article in this category". It might include a small pair-of-dice icon. There is a Wikimedia tool http://toolserver.org/%7Eerwin85/randomarticle.php that would do most of the work, but I'd like an easier to use template that could be simply inserted on housekeeping category pages. I set up one link using the tool at Category:Unreferenced BLPs, but I think other backlog categories and stub categories need such links and could benefit from such a template. The level of depth should be a parameter, defaulting to one. Making it easier and more fun to do mainenance is in Wikipedia's best interest.-- agr ( talk) 21:14, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Currently UK university pages have huge, unwieldy and usually incomplete rankings wikitables on them ( for example see University of Bristol) - In contrast american Universities have the nice and simple Template:Infobox_US_university_ranking could a similar template be produced for UK universities using the rankings used in the wikitables on any UK university article? - Thanks Ajbpearce ( talk) 18:44, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
I think the american sidebar format looks much nicer and just because the data exists, it does not really add anything to the articles to include the past 10 years of university rankings for each university - as to whether we just build one template or two separate ones, my only thought is that the syntax is already quite long for the US template and there are really only the few international rankings that overlap so it might be less confusing if they were separate, though its no big deal either way Ajbpearce ( talk) 10:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I would like to make a sortable wikitable that has column spanning captabilities. A similar template was already setup in 2 parts by {{ Furry-con-list-start}} and {{ Furry-con-list-entry}} GreenReaper, however he is unable to help because of RL circumstances. Due to some of the compliexities of this template listing multiple Japanese titles translated into English for various platforms and operating systems that sometimes changed them when translated and the multiple relevant ways one can sort this (Alphanumeric, original japanese release date, original english release date to name the 3 most likely ones) a sortable template with columnspanning is necessary.
I have setup a basic format (minus the sorting mechanism) how I'd like the end result to be at User:Jinnai/VN. The problem I am running into particulary is making the second row header sortable and also sub-divided under the first larger one. Using a basic "wikitable sortable" makes the top header sortable, but not those underneath. In addition, I need the notes section, as mentioned above, to span the entire length. Finally, the "link" header, should also not be sortable. 陣 内 Jinnai 22:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Did some testing and I was trying to get the text to wrap like it does in the template I listed above. Unfortunatly my attempts failed. Looking at that example I cannot see how they got it to wrap. Nor could I figure out if there was a way to use overflow:auto

The {{ Rtd}} and {{ Rb}} templates are used on talk pages to archive discussions where files tagged with {{ di-replaceable fair use}} were deleted after being tagged with {{ replaceable fair use disputed}}.
Currently, these templates are not substituted, they don't allow the signature of the closing admin to display properly and, despite the claim at {{ Rtd}}, does not categorize these talk pages in Category:Talk pages of deleted replaceable fair use images. I've created a subpage here of three example inputs and their outcome, all problematic, as well as a desired outcome. Basically, the end result should substitute both templates, include the admin's signature on the {{ Rtd}} template and the {{ Rb}} template should add the aforementioned category to the file talk page.
Hopefully this isn't too complicated of a request. — ξ xplicit 22:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
