It would be really nice if there was a template for the characters of the Crash Bandicoot series, much like the Sonic or Mario characters have their own. Cat's Tuxedo Saturday June 10, 2006 10:02 PM

Someone please craete this. Athletically, this is one of the last conferences not to have a template. A similar template to this one would be the Atlantic-10 Football Conference
Hi,
For the Six Nations could we have a template, similar to the one found on the Tri Nations Series page? Just links to any/all championship pages plus teams involved etc.
Thanks, tomburnell 11:15, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to see a large template that warns people that the article has images or other thngs that may frighten people, this could go on articles like Harlequin Type Ichtyosis, which has as scary image of a person on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.46.77 ( talk • contribs)

Wikipedia is not censored, but it would be ideal to warn readers with templates that say things such as:
"This article contains profane language, and might not be appropriate for readers under the age of 18."
and:
"This article contains explicit images, and might not be appropriate for readers under the age of 18."
The templates could be red, to be more noticable. -- Gray Porpoise 18:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please change the logic on Template:Infobox Polish Navy so the work "surfaced" does not appear as a row sub header, unless the submerged value is provided as well? Should be done for Displacement and Speed. See the templates talk page for reasoning. Thanks.-- J Clear 20:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Is there a template to flag articles with an excessive amount of red links for clean-up? I think I remember seeing one somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Is it possible to add a template for this? Thanks. smileydude66 03:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to request a template that would link together articles related to the videogame Tales of Symphonia. There are a number of articles built around the subject, but they are scattered haphazardly in links. One trying to find information on various subjects would be forced to either search individually or search for links within independent articles.
Here are some of the articles that would be linked together: Lloyd Irving Mithos Yggdrasill Cruxis Kratos Aurion Eternal Sword Desians Kharlan War Martel Sylvarant Tethe'alla And there are more still. Having one common template to link these together would be, I feel, very beneficial.
[[Category:Tales of Symphonia characters]]
) at the bottom, they will all be in this category. --

03:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)I would like to have a template which read more or less the following:
The rationale is the article
Euro which has had a longer discussion of wether one should write 5 euro or 5 euros. A consensus seems to have been established, but every so often someone comes in and changes all occurences of euro into euros. I would like a template to warn them not to be too bold about editing an article which has had extensive discussions before reaching consensus. The templates {{
disputed*}}
could be used, but they are meant for talk pages, and this template should go on the main page. The article is not really in any factual dispute, as a consensus seems to have been reached. The template should not discourage boldness either, just make sure that no substantial changes are made before the talk page is consulted.

I was looking for a treademark template to add to a page BitTorrent to indicate that the name BitTorrent is a trademark. It seems to me that a template that puts a small box indicating that the word/phrase given as a paramater is a trademark (or registered trademark) would be usefull on many pages.

Or something similar. See Blu-ray Disc which at the moment is using the "current event" template at Template:Current; however this is not the purpose of that template, and there does not seem to be an appropriate one available. The purpose of a new template would be to replace Template:Future product once the product was released, but still rapidly evoloving. -- Notmicro 02:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi. For the past 2 hours I have been looking up for a template that could fit my article. The article is about a nightclub. So, I have been looking at other nightclubs, to copy the source template, just to find out this was in vane. The closest possible template was the "Infobox:Company", but still there was more information needed, such as Dj residents, Type of Music, Dress Code, Open Days, Owner, and so on. And because I saw other nightclubs enlisted aswell, maybe this can benefit the article by showing more information.
I came across with a couple of London-based clubs, Fabric ( [1]) and Astoria ( [2]), both which have a "UK Music Venue" template, which I couldn't seem to modify and which I couldn't found elsewhere but in their source.
Such information in a Nightclub Template should be well acepted by the articles in need of this.
Information needed (and if possible organized in groups such as "venue, licensing, and business" in the uk music venue template): Company name, company logo, compnay type, foundation, industry, homepage, resident djs, music, owner, spaces, layout, & capacity.
Thank you very much.
I would like the HTML template so that I may add a reference. My reference is Frank, Leonard R. (June 2006). Electroshock Quotationary. Retrieved July 23, 2006, from The Coalition for the Abolition of Electroshock in Texas Web site: http://www.endofshock.com (Wolfdeck 05:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)Wolfdeck)
I tried using the {{and = and | by copying other references but it was not sufficiently accurate and I was sent to the sandbox, which doesn't help as I don't know the HTML and in the sandbox have nothing to copy from.
I would like a template to be created to show the current squad and squad numbers of Derry City F.C. with appropriate links to the Wikipedia entries of the players. The player names and numbers can be found in the Derry City F.C. main entry. The requested style is similar to the templates found on most professional footballers' pages such as {{ Manchester United F.C. squad}}. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnfullerton ( talk • contribs)
Would it be possible to update the following template http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Derry_City_F.C._squad with a number of changes. Could you please include a full stop after the C in the Derry City F.C. title. Also, could you remove No. 6 Eamon Doherty from the template as he no longer plays for the club. Shaun Holmes who is not numbered in the template plays with No. 22 and could you please include Manager: Stephen Kenny in the template. Thanks.

This is a request to improve a current template, not make a new one, but this seemed like the best place to ask. I'd like the Template:GA to include a link to the reviewed version of the article, but I'm not sure how to set it up. Maurreen 16:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Given that the use of As of is considered a violation of standards (but is used due to lack of a good alternative), I was fiddling with using a template. However, I keep running into dead-ends. My current solution is workable, but has the cost of a blank space. Please see my page for the sample, see Template:As of for what I have so far, and Wikipedia_talk:As_of to see the discussion about As of. -- Scott McNay 06:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC).
Update: I made a category, which seems to be the best solution so far. Changing the category name to something like "To be reviewed in" or "Needs review in" might be a good idea also, as in "To be reviewed in 2007" or "Needs review in 2007". -- Scott McNay 07:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
It would be useful to have a template that refers people to their local emergency phone number based on IP geography: in the US, it would say "call 911 immediately", in Australia, it would say "call 000 immediately". At present, pages either have to bifurcate (a bad idea in an emergency), pick one, or omit the instruction entirely. Although wikipedia is obviously not a good reference for emergency medical problems, many emergency conditions (e.g., stroke, heart attack) come with confusion, so a victim might end up consulting wikipedia anyway. A template that refers users to their local emergency phone number is the best way to fight this.
Because of proxies and other technical limitations, it might be better to say "call xxx or your local emergency phone number immediately". This in turn could link to a page listing emergency numbers for various countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vectro ( talk • contribs)

One template that I think would be useful is something one would add when discussing on user pages. For example, if I and User:Bob were having a conversation, he would first leave a message on my talk page. As courtesy, when I respond, I post the response at his talk page (so he gets the "new messages" warning). However, when I post the comments on Bob's talk page, I could insert a template that would read: "This discussion originated at User talk:CrazyInSane", to allow for easy access to the rest of the conversation. What does everyone think?. — ` CRAZY` (IN)` SANE` 18:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I need a way to automatically place a template or a text notice both at the top and at the bottom of my talk page. If I simply copy the template/text to the bottom, it moves away with each new message as using + to add new section is a common method.
If this could be done with CSS or HTML tags, I'd like to have a template which automates the task. --

I'm requesting a template be created to replace the code at Aberdeen No. 373, Saskatchewan, Aberdeen, Saskatchewan, Blucher No. 343, Saskatchewan, Lost River No. 313, Saskatchewan, and various other Saskatchewan articles. Apparently this table is supposed to show which communities lie to the N/S/E/W of the community in question (though I do not know why this is relevant; as far as I know no other state/province pages contain templates like this). I don't know much about Saskatchewan so I don't know why such tables even exist. I've asked on the talk pages, but without much success. But as long as they do exist, we might as well have a pretty template, instead of a bunch of unwieldy code. -- Fang Aili talk 14:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to see 2 templates created for placement at the top of an article that would be similar to the existing templates ActiveDiscuss and Controversial (currently only for talk page). They might be called ActiveDiscuss2 and Controversial2. This is the current ActiveDiscuss template:
{{ ActiveDiscuss}}
This is the change or addition that I would like to see:
This article or section is currently being developed or reviewed. Some statements may be disputed, incorrect, biased or otherwise objectionable. |
Please read talk page discussion and discuss before making substantial changes. |
Note that and discuss was added.
In addition please modify the Controversial template so that it is suitable for placement at the top of an article. The current Controversial template reads:
Please ignore the misplaced warning as I am putting the template here as an example.
I believe these two additional templates would reduce edit wars as people would need to discuss substantial changes before making them.

My suggestion is a template to be placed on Wikipedia-namespace pages that need updating (e.g. collaboration pages that are inactive, or RfAs open longer than they should be). What I specifically have in mind for the template's first usage is on Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations, which has multiple mottos that are over 7 days old, needing attention from an overseer. The template could look something like:

We need a template for "The Illegal alien debate in the United States". I tried to create one, but I'm just not an artist. I need someone with artistic talent. I'd like a template similar to the two on the Intelligent Design page. The picture selected needs to be really neutral as this is a politically charged issue and we don't want to show bias in any direction. Some of the links which can go in the template include, Illegal immigration to the United States Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution United States immigration debate Anchor baby H.R. 4437 2006 United States immigration reform protests S. 2611 Federation for American Immigration Reform National Council of La Raza La Raza Center for Immigration Studies and Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 There should be room for more articles as this subject seems to spawn articles like nobody's business. - Psychohistorian 19:53, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
