Can somebody create a template that combines <blockquote>...</blockquote>
and <poem>...</poem>
so that when quoting poems and the like, you won't have to explicitly invoke both or put <poem>...</poem>

15:36, 16 December 2015 (UTC)Would it be possible for someone to create an alternative template for {{ Hangugeo}}? This template would have been perfect if it didn't accompany the Hangul with parentheses. Per {{ Track listing}}, song titles in different languages and scripts should be used in a different parameter - see Template:Track listing#Smile by L'Arc-en-Ciel as an example.
For reference, it would essentially be the same as {{ Nihongo2}}, which only requires the input kanji. There is currently no template that only requires the input of Hangul. — ξ xplicit 03:15, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

American football uses two primary and long-standing formulas for rating passing efficiency (typically used for the quarterback, but valid for any player who attempts passes). Both formulas use passing attempts (ATT), completions (COMP), passing yards (YDS), touchdown passes (TD), and interceptions (INT) with upper limits and omissions of negative portions of the formulas. The formulas can be seen here, including links to citations supporting the formulas and media-usage:
Request is for two templates which take the respective parameters and output the rating:

Hi, in many articles about sport competitions or biographies we use a link to the page of the specifical broken record for some gold medal winner, it could be an olympic, world or continental record. I think, we can optimize and standarize it with an unique template. This template should have two parameters, one for the kind of record (olympic, world, european, etc.) and the second one for the sport (athletics, swimming, cycling, etc.). So we can name the template:RCD, and for example, to call this page List of world records in swimming, we can use it in this way: {{RCD|W|sw}}. I try to make the template with this code:
{{#switch: {{{1}}}
| O = Olympic
| M = world
| E = European
| Am = American
| Af = African
| As = Asiatics
}}</nowiki>
{{#switch: {{{2}}}
| at = athletics
| sw = swimming
}}</nowiki>
[[List of {{{1}}} records in {{{2}}}|'''{{{1}}}R''']]
but it is not good writen. Can you help me to improve it. Thanks. Leonprimer ( talk) 01:37, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

I am an amateur with templates that require more knowledge and usage of codes I do not understand. I am now requesting that somebody create or would help in the process of creating (if you don't mind) a season table for the NHL teams, such as 2016–17 Montreal Canadiens season#Schedule and results. I do not know if the template would require an extra template for the header of the schedules (e.g., 2016-17 Game Log). Parameters should include month (for the month of the games; would also need to include the record of that month as seen in the example used above), game (indicate the number of that game, e.g. game 82), visitor, score, home, OT, decision, attendance, record (team record of the season, e.g., 45-12-8), pts (points achieved as the season progresses), recap (recap of the game, would be identified as [http://website.com Recap]). For more examples, please see 2015–16 Montreal Canadiens season#Schedule and results where each parameter which would be used is explained better. In other words, I want a template that is a copy-paste of the current table(s) used now to create the scores and schedule. If any of this is confusing or you have any questions, please ping me.

I'd like to request a template that would show the colors of certain livery schemes used on various vehicles. My main intention is to use it for public transit vehicles (such as buses and trams) and for locomotives/railcars. I guess it would be an infobox by Wikipedia terminology, but it would be placed under the main vehicle infobox or in the respective article sections.
On how I imagine it, it would show the livery name, the period, an optional image (thumbnail), the main and misc. colors in labeled boxes, and an optional note that the livery colors are not precisely defined and are just approximations. I have made a quick mock-up of the intended look, it might need refinement because I don't know technically what is feasible in an infobox. The mock-up: http://i.imgur.com/TFSFDZy.png
I'd imagine that the template would take parameters such as name, period, an optional image filename, then color parameters like front1/front2/front3/front4/side1/side2/side3/side4/text1/text2 etc., and a yes/no for displaying the note about approximation. I don't know if it's feasible or relatively easily done, but it would help if the colored boxes would support grades from one color to another (this would of course double the color parameters). Also it would be useful if the boxes would show given color names/part names, or lacking that, the box's description (eg. Side main color #1) in tooltips. Furthermore it would come handy if a default color could be defined for each box group, so for each box with no parameters given, that color would apply.
As I want to make this clear, I don't intend this template to visually emulate the liveries themselves (in their looks), just to indicate the most used colors by "surface area" seen from different views (front/side/rear), so with some vehicles, only a few boxes would have a color set as a parameter, and with some vehicles, many more would be used.
What could be feasibly done about this? Thank you for any help in advance! Rev L. Snowfox ( talk) 17:09, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
The template {{ Non-free video game screenshot}} is producing an unnecessary category Category:Screenshots of games if the first parameter is left empty, i.e. if two pipes are typed after the template name instead of one.

I'd like to request the creation of a catalog lookup template for
Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center (TBRC) digital library Resource ID Numbers. Their database contains a vast wealth of useful information about Tibetan authors, texts, places and institutions all linked to one of these RID numbers. In the case of texts, this RID number links to a publicly available digital copy (pdf) or e-text. All their data is provided under a Creative Commons CC-BY (3.0)license. These TBRC RID numbers are now widely used as authoritative references by scholars working in the field of [Tibetan studies] and in web resources such as the
Treasury of Lives (a peer-reviewed collection of Tibetan biographies),
Himalayan Art Resources (the world's largest educational resource for Himalayan Art and Iconography, cataloging over 85,000 images - and source of many images found on Commons and used in WP articles),
Rigpa Wiki articles on persons and places. This template would be very useful in all articles related to Tibetan persons, lineages, places, and institutions; within various infoboxes used for such articles; as well as in citations to Tibetan authors and texts. I think the TBRC-RID would also make a very useful Wikidata item as it contains many entries for subjects not found in other databases. The template might link, either directly or via Wikidata, to the TBRC item through the
TBRC Public Data Interface. I would see it working something like the ISBN template (although the TBRC database covers much more than texts). Thank you.

I have added notice banners about not using the deleted images in talk pages, like one at Talk:Umpqua Community College shooting, one at Talk:Tales of Eternia, one at Talk:"Heroes" (David Bowie song), or one at Talk:I Will Remember You (Sarah McLachlan song). I have done that in other pages. Well, I used {{ notice}} and the "X" stop sign logo.

In some articles, one section becomes so big and notable, some fell like it can become an independent article. This is happening in article TRAPPIST-1. Section "Planetary System" is so big and notable, I decided to make an article on it. (It needs some major help right now). While reviewing the section I thought it would be a good idea to place a template to help editors improve the new article, but I couldn't find the right one. The template I am suggesting is a template about the size of an {{ Expand-section}} and contain text like "This section is being moved to an independent article. You can help by contributing to the article." It is quite similar to merge templates or move templates.

Hi, I'm looking for assistance from template writers in updating {{

{{ Duflu}} is a template which is used to add boilerplate text about a poorly translated article to the bottom of the Project Page Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English so the article can receive attention from translators and proofreaders.

The specification for this change can be viewed at Template talk:Duflu#Edit request - add optional arg to link original lang page.

I was rather shocked to find that there doesn't seem to be a template for moving a section from one article into another existing article. There are the split section and merge templates, but there isn't a section merge template.

The genesis of this request is an article that was recently deleted after an AfD discussion. The article had existed for over 5 years, and during that time, it had been translated into three other language wikis. I am looking for a way to inform the editors on those language wikis about the deletion, so that they can decide whether or not to initiate AfD proceedings for the translated pages.
I imagine that such a template would go at the top of the article and say "This article was translated from English Wikipedia on <date>. As of <date>, the original article no longer exists because of <reason>. The discussion that led to the deletion of that article is <here>."
I don't believe that the template should push for the translated article to be deleted, since that is up to the editors of those language wikipedias. It could contain a link to the new AfD page, if they want to use it.

For templates like Template:Cleanup, I would like to suggest adding a period (full stop) for those parameters which are followed by a new default sentence. For example, if you add "reason=" here, in the displayed text two more sentences come after the manually added reason (Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please help improve this article if you can). And I think people tend to forget to put in the period since you don't see the follow-up part when you add {{cleanup|reason=}}. What do you think?

{{
strip full stop|string}}
or {{

, which can work substituted or not (using
Extension:StringFunctions for instance), such that warning box templates could then start to defer to that common functionality... It's possible that such a template already exists (to add or strip the full stop), but I failed to find one when searching a bit. —

This page in a nutshell: A template that takes wins and losses as input and outputs a one loss record followed by the win percentage. So, for example, with inout 60,40 the output would be 60–40 (.600) |
Motivation
There are many articles about coaches in which won loss record and winning percentage are displayed. For example, see: Jim Flanery
One of the entries is: 269–183 ({{ Winning percentage}})
Note the summary lines in the Head coaching record as well as the last line of the infobox.
In this particular case, the 2016–17 results need to be added to the table as a yearly entry and the totals must be updated. This update require an edit to the:
While this isn't terrible onerous, the current values are typically portrayed as wins–losses followed by a template (Winning percentage) that calculates the ratio. To do the update, the wins must be updated, the losses must be updated, and then the two entries to the Winning percentage template must also be updated.
It would save time if a single template (I'll call it "winning record") would take wins and losses as input and produce the record followed by the percentage. With this template, the wins and losses could be updated once.
So for example "Winning record|60|40" would generate "60–40 (.600)"
I do not see this as replacing the existing template. There may be cases where you just want the percentage, and there may be cases where you just want the record. (As an aside {{ Win-loss record}} exists, but doesn't seem to be used on article I edit.)
One caution - I mainly work on basketball articles, where ties are almost nonexistent, so if someone wants to make this general, for use in sports such as hockey, the template should take an optional third parameter for ties. I don't know how the percentage is calculated in those cases, so unless someone supplies the rules, it could be a two parameter template.
Regarding articles it would be used for, almost every blue link in List of current NCAA Division I women's basketball coaches could use it, and I suspect men's college as well as professional basketball articles, and probably other sports as well.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 17:53, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Where a parameter is required in a replacement template, Template:Deprecated template shows the required usage, but incorrectly encloses it in square brackets instead of curly braces. Please revise the presentation, so that what it tells the reader to use can actually be copied and pasted. See Template:WikiProject Kenya for an example that doesn't work. – Fayenatic London 17:39, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
For example, Amarillo redirects to Amarillo, Texas, and Framingham redirects to Framingham, Massachusetts. There are many more of these, since many city/town names are unique. However, there is currently no category that categorizes this form of redirect. The template and category combination I am requesting would be one that would be used with {{ rcat shell}}. To make sure that the category doesn't begin empty, here are some redirects that should be categorized here: Little Rock, Pasadena, Yonkers, Duluth, Peabody, Dracut, Newburyport, Passadumkeag, and Meddybemps. (This shows that some are large cities that aren't quite large enough to have an article title without the state name, while others are small but unique.) HotdogPi 18:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

I use the ping template a lot. I realize it isn't all that hard to use, but it requires dropping the name of the user into the template which isn't terribly hard, but sometimes I mistype, or sometimes I try copying and pasting and don't get it exactly right, and, as is well known, if you send the message and don't get it exactly right, it's a bit complicated to fix it. I fully understand that if I'm partway down the page and want to ping someone who made a comment well up the page I need to do this, but nine times out of 10, I'm pinging the person in the line immediately above. How hard would it be to create a template, which I'm temporarily calling auto ping, which does not require a parameter but searches the immediately prior entry for signature and defaults to that user name? It could then be a button on the editing template, easy to enter.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 17:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
At present Infobox military unit Template:Infobox military unit is used for police/law enforcement unit articles.

Or else you use the Infobox law enforcement agency Template:Infobox law enforcement agency . Which means the whole police/law enforcement agency and not a specific unit such as LAPD SWAT uses LAPD Metropolitan Division. It's like using Template:Infobox national military for a military unit.

Templates for regular users looking at Sockpuppet Investigations, including in the title of this request, when a user makes a request for a CheckUser, would seem nice to have, mainly to remove the strain of repetitively typing the common phrase "Requesting CheckUser" when requesting for a CheckUser's intervention in an investigation.

I want to create a template resembling the one at Talk:Rock with You or Talk:Tales of Eternia or Talk:Umpqua Community College shooting. The template should notify readers which images are deleted and cannot be used. I can come up with Template:deleted image or Template:FFD deleted image, but I don't know other name is suitable for it. Over time, I have used {{ notice}} and file:Deletion icon.svg for the banner. I previously requested one, but it got archived. -- George Ho ( talk) 20:29, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello. When embedded, the spacing between regular text and this template is certainly bigger than usual and, to my mind, too big in fact. As an instance to what I mean you may have a look at the article section Martin Heidegger and Nazism#Speech to Heidelberg Student Association. Is there anything that could be done to reduce the spacing in general and if so, wouldn't that be a reasonable act in terms of typographical improvement?

At the moment, AWB has a bug when catching "Unbalanced brackets" on some FIFA articles. This is because instead of ending with a template, the tables end with an extra curly bracket, which AWB catches as unbalanced unnecessarily. A template to end the Two-Leg tables and similar tables will fix this bug. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) ( talk) 23:04, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
I'd like to request an infobox be created as a way to add easy information about important indoor and arena football games. This would be used for leagues such as Indoor Football League, Champions Indoor Football, and other similar leagues that may arise, which their championship game articles currently use Template:Infobox NCAA football yearly game, and Arena Football League, which the ArenaBowl articles currently use Template:Infobox gridiron football single game. jd22292 (Jalen D.

At User:CJK09/TemplateSandbox I'm trying to make my first ever template, which would simplify the addition of simple discography tables to music-related articles. As seen at User:CJK09/TemplateSandbox/testcases, the template works when only one album is entered, however when I enter more than one album, the album entries stack horizontally instead of vertically (the intent is for the entries to stack vertically). The code can be seen here. What change must be made to the code to fix this? Thanks, CJK09 ( talk · contribs) 05:45, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
With many of us Wikipedians having to deal with the potential outcome of natural disasters (Hurricane Irma in my case), we may need to use a Wikibreak template in preparation for the incoming storm in case we're affected. I'd like to request a template, called {{Weather-related}}
, be created to show that a user is on a Wikibreak as a result of an impending or ongoing natural disaster. Thanks!

The templates Template:Tennis sm tournament, Template:Tennis sm header, Template:Tennis sm match, Template:Tennis sm footer... all seem to have been written with only the men's tennis tournaments in mind. The ladies got left out. From what I can see, 90% of these templates will work for both sexes. It is used for things like specific tennis seasons such as 2017 Roger Federer tennis season. The only item in these templates that won't work for the women is the category level of the Tennis sm tournament. Right now we have:
the women's equivalents that need adding would be:
If these categories are added, the template should work well for the women too... so I won't have so much hard coding. I wasn't sure which template held the category info so I listed them all. Thanks. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 22:12, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Not sure this is the place for this request, but I've already tried the help desk and WP:VPT and been redirected to here, but anyway... I'm wondering if there is a centralized area on Wikipedia where editors who are having trouble with template coding can come and ask experienced coders for help. Those of us who work on articles related to music singles and albums often use three templates in those articles: {{ Single chart}}, {{ Album chart}} and {{ Certification Table Entry}} (and its myriad of sub-templates). Because these three templates link to many different sources outside Wikipedia, they tend to be quite dynamic (because the outside websites frequently get revamped or restructured), regularly leading to a lot of broken links.
The problem is that most of the editors who work on these articles are good at creating content, but unable to modify the templates unless it's a basic fix. And the two editors who created the templates in the first place are no longer active on Wikipedia, so we have to ask for outside help. There are a couple of coders who have very kindly been helping us out as and when they can, but it would be nice if we didn't have to pester the same people over and over again, and just place our requests at a centralized help desk staffed by coders, and whoever has some time available can say, "I'll take a look at it". Thanks for your help. Richard3120 ( talk) 14:11, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Since P.R. dumping seems to be a recurring problem I would like to suggest a new tag something like the POV tag called PRD which will warn readers that the article reference may have been modified to cast positive or negative "public relations" spin.

Considering the aforementioned template, I would like to ask whether it is possible to improve it in such a way that portal links can be included in templates like Template:US Air Force navbox for instance, with the proper portal icon displayed instead of the general "no-name" one (as it is the case currently).-- Tuchiel ( talk) 18:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Is there a chance to improve the column functions in a way that ugly hypertrophic spacings due to "conflicting" elements (like the image on the right here) do not occur anymore?-- Tuchiel ( talk) 18:41, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Would it be possible to improve the settings for {{clear}}
in such way that really always only a regular paragraph is created? Sometimes, when articles use this template in sections with images, the subsequent spacing is clearly larger than usual — cf. e. g.
Germany#Biodiversity! And that's what I'm driving at… The same applies to <div style="clear: both;"></div>
as such, of course. Hoping for your comments--

Could somebody remove the colon in the template standard phrase Wikispecies has information related to: …? This would be of benefit to a standardization, e. g. compared to Template:Commons, which does not use a colon here. Kind regards-- Tuchiel ( talk) 15:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Considering those, I'd like to point out the following issue: When I tried to use Commons category-inline and Wikispecies-inline in the same section ( Eurasian wolf#External links), I would have had to put an extra blank line between them since otherwise they both would have been displayed in the very same line and not one below the other. Is there a way to generally fix that for future reference (for the cited section, I think by now it's fine the way it is now)?-- Tuchiel ( talk) 15:58, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Could someone create something along the lines of Template:Sockpuppeteer but instead link to long-term abuse? At SPI, long-term abuse cases generate the message "A long-term abuse case exists at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Example." A template like this would be great for tagging user pages, as in many cases, there is nothing on them that directly indicates that a long-term abuse case exists. Template:Long-term abuse does not exist and would probably be an appropriate title. Home Lander ( talk) 02:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Currently, Wikipedia uses this template for articles that have been the subject of disclosed paid editing. My concerns about this template, and my reasoning for a new template or modification of the current one are as follows:
With all of the above being said, I propose two solutions to the problem as I see it. I also realize that there may have been policies that I have overlooked. My proposals are:

Hello! Due to a problem with this template that took me quite a while to figure out, in fact, I ended up on Help:Cite errors/Cite error references missing key by clicking on the respective link at the end of the error report "Cite error: A list-defined reference named "..." is not used in the content (see the help page)." Finally, there I found out that the error explained in the third example had occurred in my case: I forgot to remove the ref-tags. Thus my question: Wouldn't it be possible and useful in cases like these to receive an error report identifying and directly addressing the type of error occurring as far as defined (or dealt with within the examples on the help page)? I am quite certain that this could make life a lot easier especially for less experienced authors like me… Now, I hope this is not a totally silly idea, and to receive some comments.

It would be quite worthwhile to create a template which is capable of calculating the vote share percentages on its own, instead of relying on editors to calculate it. That way we can ensure accurate percentages in addition to ensuring consistency when it comes to numbers past the decimal place. Ideally this template would just take in the candidates, parties, and votes for each and would calculate the rest of the information. See Template:British Columbia provincial election, 2017/New Westminster for an example of the current usage of the template. Jon Kolbert ( talk) 00:15, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I've been trying to wrap my head around coding templates for a couple days, but I really can't seem to do it. I want to make a template to similar to Template:Long plot regarding production section. We recently (in December) updated the manual of style to discourage production section bloat which often consisted of excessive announcements to the public and dates people were cast. We found these to be non helpful and there was a consensus against including such information,
I want to build a template (and maintenance category) which would read something to the extent of "This film's production section may excessively rely on routine announcements which are discouraged by the Film Manual of Style" You can help by removing or condensing such information"

For Japan related lists, specifically those in
Template:Cultural Properties of Japan,
Template:Cultural Properties of Japan - structures and perhaps some others I am missing, it would be good to have a slightly modified
Template:nihongo. The parameters should be the same as in the nihongo template, but instead of arranging them inline they should (1) appear vertically stacked above each other, (2) horizontally centered in the cell and (3) the romaji should be printed smaller. For an example of what it should look like, see for instance
List of Important Cultural Properties of Japan (Shōwa period: structures). Instead of typing align="center"|[[Kon Family Residence]]<br>{{nihongo2|金家住宅}}<br><small>''Kon-ke jūtaku''</small>
, I would like to just write: {{nihongoc|[[Kon Family Residence]]|金家住宅|Kon-ke jūtaku}}

Every song on The Wall seems to have the song immediately before it and immediately after it on the article and we could save the confusion with a template. Case in point Waiting for the Worms. In addition the album in question is a concept album that is a story so much so that they made a film ( Pink Floyd – The Wall) out of it, so having the next track so you could follow the plot would be a welcome and useful addition to the wiki page of every song.

It should look like the normal Teahouse talkback but should not say that the person being notified can respond on the page being linked to.
It should be put on a user talk page if the thread has been archived but there is no evidence the editor or IP has seen the thread, such as a ping, a reply or a previous notification, or is a veteran editor who would know where to go.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Recently, I was browsing through several different articles on the history of computers, and I realized that there was no template for obsolete storage formats. I was attempting to learn about them, as I had been intrigued by the ZipDisk article, and I had thought that perhaps it would be a useful resource, allowing for Wikipedians to easily browse these types of articles. There could be sections split up by company, with links to articles on interesting mediums like UMDs, ZipDisk, Clik! drives, WORM drives, Punch cards, SuperDisk, and other interesting obsolete storage formats on Wikipedia. I wanted to also request a category, but I can't find a place to request that. I would also make the template, but I haven't learned how to yet. Over the summer I will work on that. Also, I don't know where to put this, but someone moved HVDs onto the tape section of the ecma standards template. How do you fix that? SuperChris ( talk) 19:33, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

I've noticed small discography pages tend to just contain a short intro, for example, "This is the discography of [genre] [producer/artist/singer/musician] [subject]." Can someone please make a template to substitute this intro or something similar to start a discography page?
