Category:Wikipedia templates

Hi— I noticed your template categorization work, so thought I'd ask the following. Since becoming involved in Wikipedia, I've mostly found myself working with templates and soon found Category:Wikipedia templates. I don't find this category particularly inviting, however, not least because its top level already looks pretty convoluted. Instead, the sort of thing I had in mind is here. It can also be frustrating looking for templates and/or categories that are tucked away in "navigational boxes", "infoboxes" and other such categories; I'm wondering just how user-friendly this classification by template design really is. Do you have any views on all this? Sardanaphalus 12:54, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Once I've found the kind of category I'm after, I guess I've found it a bit tiresome to have to delve into infobox/navigation subcategories as well as look through the templates in the parent category. I suppose I'd rather scan through one longer list and find out by clicking whether or not a template is infobox or navigation style. First, though, I'm thinking the more subject-orientated approach (the example appearance I linked) would need to be implemented. If I began to do this, do you think or know anyone who would mind? Sardanaphalus 12:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I understand what you mean about subdivision, whether infobox/navigation or another way, and suspect that ultimately it probably is a good thing. (One improvement might be if the names of these categories remained consistent and also used the word "templates", i.e. "...navigation templates" and "...infobox templates".) Is it possible to have Wikipedia stop people placing templates in a parent category rather than an infobox/navigation/inline/bar-type/etc category? That might be useful, assuming there isn't something I haven't thought of. I'll look around the innards of Wikipedia templates some more and try creating the User:Sardanaphalus/"Wikipedia templates" page appearance when I've a bit more time to devote to it. Thanks for your speedy reply! Sardanaphalus 12:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I recently discovered Wikipedia:Village pump, so do you think Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) is as good a place as any to ask about this "category control" idea? I have to go soon so sorry if no further reply for a while. Thanks for your time. Sardanaphalus 12:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Warcraft character infobox templates, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Warcraft character infobox templates has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Warcraft character infobox templates, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Mitsubishi Motors templates

Please consider recreating and repopulating this category. Despite your comments that "4 templates isn't enough for one cat", it served several purposes (not least of all keeping the parent category more organized).

Further, from what I can see at WP:OCAT, there's no fixed number (the exact words are "avoid categories that will never have more than a few members"), and past discussions seem to disagree with your judgement. According to User:jc37, "It was determined from several CfD discussions that "4" was the minimum number for a stand-alone category."[1] Further, the implication at Wikipedia talk:Overcategorization/Archive 5#Question about Small with no potential for growth is that it's acceptable for small categories to exist where they tidy parent categories (see User:Dr. Submillimeter's comment that "I really do not see the problem with having small categories that are part of a larger scheme".

Finally, the existence of the Mitsubishi Motors Australia and Mitsubishi Motors Europe articles could follow Mitsubishi Motors North America, which uses the {{Mitsubishi Motors North America timeline}}, That's two more regional timelines, and the existence of this document (see pp.26–27) allows for a (sourced) third timeline, of the Japanese market; seven potential templates in all, a healthier number, and potential for growth.

Regards, --DeLarge 22:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Further to this, I'm kind of puzzled why you removed Mitsubishi Motors vehicles from Category:Automotive company navigational boxes. I could understand it if you were restricting the category only to automotive corporate structure templates, but the vast majority of the templates in the category seem to be for vehicle models, which the MMC template is (see {{Chrysler}} and {{Chrysler LLC}} for an example of both, but the majority are for cars only). --DeLarge 12:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

oops. just saw that you're on a wikibreak. i'll look and ask around :) - oahiyeel ^talk 18:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

help!

I am trying to add to the Infobox World Series Expanded a section to list future Hall of Famers. I think my syntax in the Infobox looks ok, but when I try to add names to the Infobox on 1975 World Series, it isn't turning out correctly. Can you help? Thanks.

Logical nand protection removed

I know this may be stupid but just wanted you to know that I removed the protection at Logical nand. It's been almost two years and I think the vandalism is over by now. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Updating portal links on the Main Page

Hi Woohookitty, I see you do some editing on the Main Page, so I thought I would ask you if you are interested in supporting/making an update to the portal links there. The current discussion is at Portals on the main page. It boils down to updating the Main Page to reflect the consensus updates to the navigation bar for portals. The change involves switching from links to specific portals of varying quality to links to the major sections of the portals list page. This update resolves a long-standing and growing dissatisfaction with the narrow focus on a few portals, many of questionable quality. The proposed navigation scheme synchronizes the Main Page and navigation bar with the structure and inclusivity of the complete portals list. Thanks for your consideration.

Category:Ice hockey navigational boxes

Hello Woohookitty. Please see Category talk:Ice hockey navigational boxes. I have left some questions there. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 12:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Check that page again.. I just asked a dumb but important question! Flibirigit (talk) 07:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Unprotection request

Hello. Can you please unprotect Saw V? It is currently a full protected redirect, although I believe that the film has now enough references and sources to create a valid stub, for the time being. If you look at the sub page I created at User:Squishy Vic/Saw V, you can see basically what the article will consist of if you would please unprotect it. I know this isn't exactly the place to ask, but I was looking through the recentchanges for an online Administrator that I could request this too.

Thank you for your time and considering this request. I also know the page (User:Squishy Vic/Saw V) is short, practically a stub, however I will note there are also a lot smaller stubs throughout Wikipedia and this, I believe, is of enough importance. Thanks. --Victor (talk) 08:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

medal template category

Just so you know for the future. When adding a generic information to the medal templates, such as a category, you can do it with one edit by adding it to Template:MedalRelatedTemplates. This saves a little time and means, if it needs to be changed later, it does not require every one of the templates to be edited. :) David D. (Talk) 13:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, just wish i had caught you before you got going. Good job though. David D. (Talk) 03:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you added the category but now I notice a flaw in said strategy, the cat is only for Olympic but the MedalRelatedTemplate is also included on the old templates

{{MedalOlympic}} - deprecated (use {{MedalCompetition}} instead)

{{MedalParalympic}} - deprecated (use {{MedalCompetition}} instead)

{{MedalWorldChampionships}} - deprecated (use {{MedalCompetition}} instead)

{{MedalCommonwealthGames}} - deprecated (use {{MedalCompetition}} instead)

{{MedalEuropeanChampionships}} - deprecated (use {{MedalCompetition}} instead)

I was going to delete the last three but the problem is that they are still used despite the fact that {{MedalCompetition}} is the desired template to use. Conequently three of those three templates are now included in the Olympic template cat. David D. (Talk) 04:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I just thought of a better idea. We should just remove the Template:MedalRelatedTemplates from the deprecated templates. David D. (Talk) 05:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Kurt Leyman

Hello. I have a developing situation with Kurt. One or both of us may soon hit 3RR. We are tussling over a reference he found for the Gustave Whitehead article. He added it, then removed it. I listened to it (a brief National Public Radio item)and found it extremely relevant to the article and put it back in. He removed it again; I restored it. I see that he has a history of blocks and 3rr violations, and ignoring Talk pages. This is not even a content change; it's a genuine reference. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks.

Nanomaterials navbox

I would like to bring back the Nanomaterials navbox (Template:Nanomat), but since it was previously deleted I thought I should ask you first. The nanotechnology articles have dedicated navboxes for each of the subfields, but the nanomaterials navbox was deleted about six months ago after a user was a little too bold and tried to merge all the navboxes into one without proposing it on the talk page first. I'd like to recreate an updated version of the nanomaterials navbox and I wanted to check whether that is permissible or whether there is some process I need to be aware of. Thanks! Antony-22 (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I almost forgot, see this conversation (bottom of page) and the lack of objections here. Antony-22 (talk) 23:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

notable announcers

Hey WHK - I noticed you moved List of announcers in English-speaking countries to List of notable announcers in English-speaking countries. I wanted to point you to the WP:MOSLIST guideline, which guides against the word "notable" in the article title (while allowing it - nay, expecting it - in the article lead). In fact, we are down to only a handful of list articles left to have their "notable" removed (a notabilectomy?) I am going to move the article back, but I wanted to let you know here on your talk before doing so. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:07, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
