Template talk:/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:/doc is permanently protected from editing, as it is a heavily used or visible template. Substantial changes should be proposed here, and made by administrators if the proposal is uncontroversial, or has been discussed and is supported by consensus. Use {{editprotected}} to attract the attention of an administrator in such cases.

I derived this template from the English-language Wikibooks template b:Template:Naming policy notice. The history was as follows:

[edit] Deprecate Template:/doc

{{editprotected}} Please deprecate this template by adding

{{tdeprecated|/doc|template doc}}

(see {{tdeprecated}} and the template documentation pattern) --AlastairIrvine 19:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

This is because {{template doc}} provides a better "user interface", IMHO --AlastairIrvine 19:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Is there consensus for the deprecation? --MZMcBride 19:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

This template is only to warn people that it is incorrect to transclude {{/doc}} ... so it is basically deprecated by default. But adding the deprecated template might deter others who come across this template from using the documentation subpage pattern. Therefore I worry that it might not be a good thing. --Iamunknown 19:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) There's no reason to deprecate this particular template because it has never been and was never meant to be used. It already links to the template documentation, and doesn't favor one method over another. –Pomte 19:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad/Good Example edit request

Please add a border; visually it's hard to differentiate between the columns. --Notmyhandle 07:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
