[edit] Atomic number to element or symbol

Why not templates in this direction? --JWB (talk) 00:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Why would you need that? It's easiest to remember and recognise an element by it's name than by it's number of protons. But should you want to create such a template, it would not be very hard to do. SkyLined (talk) 21:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

We build the table of nuclides with templates. See Category:Isotope tables templates. --JWB (talk) 22:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

How about this: Template:ElementForProtons and Template:SymbolForProtons ? SkyLined (talk) 23:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, here's an example of a nuclide table constructed using that template, take a look at the code. --JWB (talk) 09:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice!

[edit] Naming overhaul

I'd like to adjust the naming scheme to make it more compliant with other wiki pages and naming schemes. Here's what I'd like to suggest:

Current name	New name suggestion
Category:Nuclide templates	Template:Nuclide/doc (partial move)
User:SkyLined/List of nuclei	Template:Nuclide/list
Template:Element	Template:Nuclide/element
Template:SimpleNuclide	Template:Nuclide/simple
Template:Nuclide	Template:Nuclide
Template:ComplexNuclide	Template:Nuclide/complex
Template:SymbolForElement	Template:Nuclide/EtoS
Template:ProtonsForElement	Template:Nuclide/EtoP
Template:NeutronsForElement	Template:Nuclide/EToN
Template:LinkForElement	Template:Nuclide/EtoL
Template:SymbolForProtons	Template:Nuclide/PtoS
Template:ElementForProtons	Template:Nuclide/PtoE
