[edit] Saskatchewan template request

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)

Converting the HTML to a wiki table seemed like a request within my skill level, so I built a template called Template:Saskatchewan rural municipalities navbox and updated a couple of the "rural municipalities". Arundel77 03:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Jersey Historical Sites

List of New Jersey state parks I would appreciate a template similar to the New Jersey State Parks one. The list is on List of New Jersey state parks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ram32110 (talk • contribs).

Created as {{New Jersey Historic Sites}} using Historic Sites list at List of New Jersey state parks#Historic Sites of New Jersey. Added to List of New Jersey state parks. Mike Dillon 15:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Airlines of Brazil

I was wondering if I can make a template for the airline of Brazil.--Golich17 22:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead. It looks like {{Airlines of Turkey}} would be a good template to base it on. Other examples may be found in Category:Aviation navigational boxes. Mike Dillon 22:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• Boy there sure are a lot of them. I made Template:Airlines of Brazil, enjoy. —Dgies^t c 17:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template for citations and other long sections

I'm looking for a template that allows you to add references, etc, and 'minimize' them in a manner like 'content' box at the top of articles.

For example, the article History of feminism has a large amount of sources and citations, if their was a way to hide these, it would be extremely useful in the department of reader-friendly.

It would be even more useful if something like this could be created, where the information was located elsewhere and didn't add to the article size.

Thanks--Honeymane_{Heghlu meH QaQ jajvam} 06:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I made {{hiderefs}}, and I'm trying to make it the right color. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 17:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Now the right color, but I'm still trying to move "references" up. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 17:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to remove the "References" text. That way people can put up their own section header like: ==References== {{hideref}} Another consideration is that often when there is a references section, there are also a number of other references added simply as external links without using the <ref> extension. In order to be compatible with these we would need an opening and closing tag so people could have stuff like this: ==References== {{hideref start}} [some external links go here]]{{hideref end}} --Dgies 17:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

There has to be some text there, or the collapsing won't work. I can go tweak it to allow extra external links now. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 18:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure? Couldn't {{hideref start}} open the div and table, and then {{hideref end}} closes it? --Dgies 19:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure. If there's no text there, then the link to open it doesn't show up. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 19:15, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm trying to figure out how to use it, where do I put the text?--Honeymane_{Heghlu meH QaQ jajvam} 18:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Ew, you're not using cite.php. In that case, you put it like this:

{{hiderefs| ;heading *reference *reference 2 ;heading *reference 3 *reference 4 }}

There should be a line break between each thing. Tell me if it doesn't work. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 19:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

No, it doesn't work yet. Hold on... -Amarkov ^blah_edits 19:02, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Will this work when the references are using <noinclude><references/></noinclude>?--Honeymane_{Heghlu meH QaQ jajvam} 19:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and with that, you just have to put in {{hiderefs}}. That's what I coded it for, because I assumed you were using it. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 19:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you can show us/me on the history of feminism, I seem to be too stupid to understand how this template works.--Honeymane_{Heghlu meH QaQ jajvam} 19:22, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

90% of the times, such a section is placed under a header. If such a template is to be used, it must allow for the "footnotes" part to disappear because there will be a header above it. Also, does it work with {{reflist}} columns? Circeus 14:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The text has to be there, or it doesn't work. Anyway, the appropriateness of such a template even optimally in theory is in discussion at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 15:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
