the series of gif files also needs copying over to English WP. This will give a much better look and more informative presentation to the first order geographic divions of Turkey. Carlossuarez46 19:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
OK so I created {{TurkishProvince}} but need to copy over the .gifs that are called, how is that best done, they are MetaWiki'ed at the Turkish WP site, but I don't know how to extract them from MetaWiki to the English WP site.

It would be great if someone could create a users template for people who lived in Baltimore, MD. If you want any suggestions about style and content, drop me a line on my talk page.

Several articles are USA-centric, such as Intelligent transportation system discussing Suburbs and "homeland security" as if these are universal social phenomena. A template that would flag that would be useful so that non-US people can come around and add perspective.
There may be a need for other "X-centric" templates.
Samfreed 14:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
It does, but the USA-Centric problem is so common it deserves its own category. It would also allow non-USA wikipedians an index to focus on. Samfreed 10:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
The following three templates are being proposed for deletion: Template:Exclusion, Template:Inclusion-Section, and Template:Exclusion-Section. These tags, although useful in drawing attention to talk pages where the relevance of content is disputed, can also fuel disputes by being used in revert wars. As a result, I am requesting a more general template to identify disputes. The template may be worded in the following way: "The relevance of particular information in this article is disputed. It may have been included or removed by an editor as a result. See the talk page for more information." -- backburner001 00:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I have been editing an entry and have been advised that there is something called a 'video template' which can link a video or DVD reference number to an external site/database which can then use the code for a search.

I have seen lot of images with tags that require a fair use rationale without a one completely. A template to place on either the image or the uploaders talk page would be helpful. I don't have any ideas on how it should work. Most likely close to how {{subt:nsd}}/{{subst:nld}} work. Thanks!!! 01:29, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you have a Supreme Court case template, but not one for other court cases. It would be nice to have an easy way to format and link to a decision for federal district and appellate court decisions. —This unsigned comment was added by 65.102.51.155 ( talk • contribs) .
I know that it would be a very simple template to make, but I've noticed that a template something along the lines of the following would be useful, as the disambiguation template isn't specific enough:

I believe it would be a good idea to have a small template on pages with profanity. i have seen and dealt with small children who have inadvertantly come upon pages with multiple profanities.
it might say something like: "WARNING: This page includes adult language, and is intended to be read by adults" or something. Vulcanstar6 00:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Request that it be in the same format as what was witnessed for the template at the bottom of the Australian Open page, with links to each individual year of the event (years currently being researched for inclusion, but already with pages already extant, to differing degrees of detail, for the 1911, 1912, 1950-1960, and 1965 races). Request that it be incorporated at the bottom section of the Indianapolis 500 page. -- 67.37.6.30 05:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
a template that works like the db... templates, but shows the reason as being spam or advertising —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bill Sayre ( talk • contribs) .
The usage of the Succession box template for US Senator is remarkably un uniform. The class of the senator is sometimes included, but sometimes not. Likewise, the name of the second senator of the state delegation is sometimes mentioned, but sometimes not.
Consider for example the Trent Lott page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Lott
It states that Lott is class 1 and that he serves alongside Thad Cochran.
His predecessor is John Stennis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Stennis
Here, we are informed of his class (class 1) but not of the name of the senator who served alongside him. Yet this information is available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Congressional_Delegations_from_Mississippi#United_States_Senate
His predecessor is Theodore G. Bilbo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Bilbo The succession box informs one neither of his class nor of the name of the senator he served alongside of.
Wikipedia would benefit from a more uniform page presentation. One cannot take it upon himseff to correct such pages until a uniform template is agreed unpon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.162.244 ( talk • contribs) .
I suggest that inline versions of the cleanup-date, citecheck, abbreviations, confusing, copyedit and technical templates be provided, for use if only a single paragraph or a few sentences of an article need to be cleaned up or corrected. 138.88.19.65 05:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
I would like a template that would alert readers to deal with articles with Chinese in the following ways:

Recently, individual days such as June 10, 2004 and June 11, 2004 have been getting their own articles, listing the news events happening on those days. My suggestion is for a template, similar to Template:yearbox allowing one to navigate throught time by day, months and years. There is currently no standard form of these articles, compare March 31, 2004 to April 1, 2004. Perhaps we need a Wikiproject:dates? LukeSurl 23:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

13:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)Taking a look at Delta Force 2 and other games in the series, it appears we could really do with a template to join those articles together. As it is, there are seven games and one expansion that need to be added, to avoid the annoying list at the bottom of each of their pages. The games that need to be included in the template are:

I was thinking that it might be a good idea to have a template indicating that a given page is about fictional material, seeing how some pages about characters do not mention that they are from a fictional universe until the middle of the article. Arctic Gnome 20:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I would to request that a template be made for the Barbershop Harmony Society... It would be nice if the template could contain the following things: Different Districts that make up the B.H.S, the past international champions, and a spot to put external links. You dont have to go through all of the work of making the complete template in its entirety, just the basic format of that. thanks in advance and feel free to contact me -- Zack3rdbb 21:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you... Thats exactly what i was looking for. -- Zack3rdbb 22:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
hai,
i want to create a template for a "stock chart" .please give me necessary "guidance" on this.
thank you.
Mainly because I suck at finding out where to edit a template proper, I need two.
Well technically one but the infobox: one is for soapopera charcters. character, real name, age, spouse(s), family, first appearance, last appearance, status, occupation, portrayed by, etc. something like the charmed characters infobox just without the magic. maybe have a core cast one and a supporting cast one. possibly a family one. Look at me getting all greedy.
The other is a better one for the people infobox. person, birth name, dob, place of birth, date of death, place of death, cause of death, notable relatives, occupation, known for, etc.
Or whatever someone can come up with will be much appreciated.
Cheers

The national oceanic and atmospheric association is a government source that I use, I want a template similar to the NPS template, but for NOAA sourced text. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.70.244 ( talk • contribs)
Uh, the template could say something like "Information on this page was copied from a government source and is in the public domain" which pretty much what the NPS template is. It's just the NPS template has a picture of the NPS symbol, so it's slightly deceptive to use it, it makes it seem like it comes from the national parks system.
Apololgies in advance if this already exists (of if there's a reason it doesn't) but I think a template for discussing a proposed move on the article's talk page (without going to Wikipedia: requested moves)would be extremely useful. Wikipedia requested moves is for controversial moves or moves that require assistance. I think something following the merge template ("It has been suggested that is article be moved to X. Discuss." ) would suffice in many non-controversial situations. Lee Bailey 11:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
It would be nice if u can make a charmed (tv show) template...i really want it...it can be in any colors...please!!
Please visit Sea Cadets (disambiguation) to view a growing list of Sea Cadet Corps and similar organisations. Many are still redlinked. We are not yet sure precisely how many individual nations and within those how many individual Sea Cadet Corps (and similar organisations) there are. A hard coded list on each page under "See also" is fast becoming unwieldy
The ideal template will:
Since there is often more than one Sea Cadet (or similar) organisation, plus some form of charity backing the corps, plus a supporter's group or more, per nation, I think two parameters have to be passed to the template:
Optionally a third parameter could be considered: that of "Other" where the organisation is not itself a Corps. Default with this parameter absent would be that it is a corps
With this parameter present the listing in the grid could either be split into twin grids (one for a Corps and the other for "Associated Organisations") or be annnotated in a single grid to indicate that an Associated organisation is identifiable. I see that as "designer's discretion".
{{Naval-cadets|Nation|Article Name|(optional param for other)}}
The following on two different pages create the output grid below:
Where "other" is not null then it should really set the flag. Unless you know a better way, of course :)
I am not a designer! That much should be immediately obvious! My thinking runs as follows:
Naval Cadet Organisations |
||
---|---|---|
Nation | Naval Cadet Organisation | Optional |
United Kingdom | Sea Cadet Corps (United Kingdom) | |
International | International Sea Cadet Association | Associated org marker |
Associated org marker: This is a governing body, or supporter's organisation or similar organisation |
I'm pretty sure it would need to be in smaller font than a default page font, and in colours to suit the various skins.

In order to improve the quality of articles and reduce reversion wars, it would be useful to have a selection of inline templates with which to denote various logical fallacies. Line-based (not by section or article), use of these would help identify and resolve conflicts amicably, help save time in the Talk pages (thereby encouraging incremental improvemets), and help avert major page revisions. My sense is this is technically easy (the coding), but will require some thought for implementation. (Otherwise I'd do it myself; but I'm seeking guidance here from more seasoned Template builders.) As Wikipedia becomes more mature, measures to improve stability and quality are increasingly important. These inline templates may help achieve this.
For example, perhaps the most common form of rhetorical fallacy and abuse is the Straw man. To start with, could someone please create an inline template, {{strawman}}, with which to mark such fallacies? At a minimum, all it really has to do is insert the words [ StrawMan ] at the point of insertion in an Article. It could do more, of course. Just to brainstorm here: e.g., it could add the article to a (new) page to be called, perhaps, [Category:Articles with logical fallacies#Straw man] or [Category:Articles with straw man fallacies]. It could automatically make mention of the sentence in the Discussion page, along the lines of:
Etc. We might start with {Straw man} as an experiment. If it works well, then here are a few other fallacy templates to add later: RedHerring, Ad hominem, Correlation, PostHoc, Affirming, Majority, Ignorantiam, Circular, Equivocation. Others can be added. There should be presumably be a "Template:Fallacies" page, which lists all such templates. Presumably these would go in [Category:Wikipedia maintenance templates] and/or [Category:Wikipedia cleanup templates].

A template would be nice for putting on users' talk pages when an article they have created is clearly about themselves (such as their user name matching the article's name), which has been marked for deletion as a non-notable bio. It could say something like "Your article at (wherever) has been marked for deletion, as the subject does not appear to have notabily required to have an article. Based on your username, it appears this article is about you. Such information should be kept within your user page, at (page), and you are welcome to write about yourself there." - Goldom 莨夊ゥア 謚慕ィソ 00:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
What ho! I think we need a generic template for authors. I propose the template have the following fields:
As you can see, I've rather a specific idea about how this should look. I'd program this myself if my html didn't suck so badly. Well, I think this would be a good idea, anyways. Anyone up for it? -- The Noble Age of Steam, 17:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
This is source code for a template that will allow indenting from wikisource. I thought it would be useful from time to time, particularly if it can be used inline to pad out several text columns one would like to line up despite personal font size scaling settings.
It displayed so badly with nowiki's, I just acted boldly to edit-create it. It embedds a category that we apparently don't use, so someone should fix it if that is desired. See the talk at Template:Indent.

Please look at List of King George V Playing Fields (Gloucestershire) as an example.
The page is simple page with a complex table, and asking editors to fill out a table is not always the easiest. The page is one of what will be many County pages for KGVF because there are 476 fields in the UK, so a "standard format" is desirable (which can change globally if future editors desire by changing the template.
I think we need three templates:
1) A page header, taking the County as the sole parameter, and creating the layout automatically down to the end "/tr" of the header rows of the table. It needs to fill the County into both the Page Intro and the Table Header, and wikilink it. It should also place the page into the category "King George's Field". It should not contain {{Incomplete-list}}, which is "editor's choice". Working title "kgvf-header"
2) A table row template, to be repeated multiple times containing as parameters each of the cells in the table row. working title "kgvf-row"
3) A page footer, handling the cite.php elements, including the explanation for unsure editors of how to use cite.php and the "==" level heading: "Notes". Working title "kgvf-footer"
I envisage a page to be made up simply of the following:
{{kgvf-header|County}}
{{kgvf-row|Param list}} (repeated as often as required)
{{kgvf-footer}}
The table is currently in HTML. I am much more familiar with HTML than wikimarkup. Since thsi will, please, be handled by the template, I have no feelings either way ion HTML vs Wikimarkup pipe syntax.
The cataloguing of KGV Fields has only just started, and the number of pages affected is currently 3. It would be great to get this templated before time has moved too far forward.
Fiddle Faddle 10:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
There is now an alternate wikimarkup version at List of King George V Playing Fields (Devon). I'm not waving any flag for either. Grateful thanks to RHaworth for wikimarkup-ing it. This gives whoever is kind enough to create the template either html or wiki to play with. Whichever version is chosen I undertake to apply the resultant templates to the pages created so far.

Template talk:US-writer-stub has had an open request for modification since the end of April to change the wording to bring it in line with other such templates. Any help'd be appreciated. GeeJo (t)⁄ (c) • 13:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Let me start off by saying I began this template in order to help synchronize various writing system articles, and the template turned out to be much more of a chore than I anticipated. I initially copied it from Template:Infobox Language, thinking I could tweak it, but now I realize that the esoteric code is quite overwhelming to the noobesque computer geek such as myself. I need some help with it. I, as well as other members from Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing systems have outlined parameters on its talkpage and now these plans need to be implemented. Would any wikipedian experienced with esoteric code be willing to help me edit this template? It's a bit of a big deal, we'll probably need another template for the colors if we are to follow the code from Template:Infobox Language. Thank you!-- The ikiroid 23:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
