[edit] Kappa Mikey template

Because there are quite a few articles related to Kappa Mikey, someone should make a template for Kappa Mikey now. It should include the following:

I would do it, but I don't know how to. --Noone 05:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Fats-and-oils

I want to make a template on the properties of fats and oils, but I don't know how to make templates. The title should be "Fats and oils" (including the Wikilink). Except for the name, most of the fields should be optional and should not appear unless the user enters a value. The bolded items are things I want in the actual template, while the nonbolded text simply explains what to put into each field. Please include the Wikilinks where I have given them. I have a pretty clear idea of which fields I'd like to have available and about how I want it to be laid out:


Fats and oils


Image: link to a Wikipedia Image file of the fat or oil in question.


Name: Name of the fat or oil (use article title if article is on the fat or oil in question)


Composition:

  • Water content: Total percentage, by weight. Give minimum and maximum values if there's a range.
  • Fat content: Total percentage, by weight. Give minimum and maximum values if there's a range.
  • Nonfat solids: Total percentage, by weight. Give minimum and maximum values if there's a range.
  • Sterols: Total percentage (plus list of individual fatty acid components and their percentage if possible – Wikilink if possible)

Fat composition (by percentage of total fat content):

  • Saturated fats: Total percentage, plus list of individual fatty acid components and their percentage (Wikilink if possible)
    • Interesterified fats: Total percentage (plus list of individual fatty acid components and their percentage if possible – Wikilink if possible)
  • Trans fats: Total percentage (plus list of individual fatty acid components and their percentage if possible – Wikilink if possible)
  • Unsaturated fats: Total percentage

Properties:

Thanks in advance to whomever makes this template. Peter G Werner 19:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

So what you're proposing is a new infobox type for use in articles about different types of oils, correct? For example, can you show me a couple articles you plan on adding this to? The reason I ask is that what I saw from a brief browsing is that most of these fields will be unused because there is no data for them on any particular oil. —dgiestc 19:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
An infobox, correct. Some articles: Lard, Butter, Olive oil, Grapeseed oil, Corn oil, and others like this. And "no data on them"? These data are likely present in published, citable sources for most edible oils. Just because such data are not present in Wikipedia right now is no reason not to include these fields. Peter G Werner 20:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, you convinced me. Maybe I'll work on it a bit later. —dgiestc 20:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks in advance! I've added one thing – since its going to be an infobox (good suggestion) a place at the beginning for an optional image would be a good idea. – Peter G Werner 23:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I have started work at Template:Infobox oils. —dgiestc 03:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, should be done. Take a look. —dgiestc 08:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I see, so what exactly are you requesting? —dgiestc 20:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I am requesting a banner from wikiproject Iwerks, like the rest of the wikiporjects have got... --TomasBat (@)(Sign) 00:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Didn't you just make one above? What's left to request? Do you need help starting a new page? —dgiestc 02:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Whoa. I just noticed you are using a fair use image in the template for purely decorative reasons. That is a big no-no. Is there some free image you could use? —dgiestc 08:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

How about this. I changed the image to a home-made one which a created in 2 minuites; it isn´y very good, but it will fit until a better one is found, if a better one is found, of course.

OK, looks good. Now you have all the markup for a WikiProject banner template. You still haven't said what you need help doing. —dgiestc 21:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to see in what I could improve it... Such as the fair-use image. Now how do I create it? --TomasBat (@)(Sign) 02:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC) To create a template - all you need to do is go to an address that starts with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:
So for example - you could copy that code you did, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Iwerks_Banner - paste it, and your done! (You would call the template by writing {{Iwerks_Banner}}.Daniel()Folsom |\T/|\C/|\U/|(Can you help me with my signature?) 17:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Mechanical Engineer User Template

I am just curious if there already is a user template for mechanical engineers. There seem to be others for chemical engineers and others. There is a mechanical engineer category, but it for some reason is not a subcategory of [[Category:Wikipedian engineers]]. if not, it seems that there should be one. I hope I am posting this on the proper page. Polypmaster 18:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Done See {{user mechanical engineer}} Also, the mechanical engineer category is a subcat of Category:Wikipedian engineers but you have to move to the next page of listings to see it. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 20:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Not any more. I fixed the subcategories' sort keys so they all show up on the first page. —dgiestc 01:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
