[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:

References: If more than once source, please list in "ref" format.

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)

Y 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)
I just added this userbox to my page. IMHO it would look better and be more consistent with other disciplines if you change "mechanical engineer" to "Mechanical Engineer".CheMechanical 04:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Speed Skater

I'm requesting an infobox template for Speed Skaters, if there isn't one already made that is suitable. It would need the basics of Template:Infobox Athlete, but with sections being "hidden" if no data is entered: image (with the option of adding a caption beneath), name, nickname, age, height, weight, country, personal best (time), World Cup wins, World Championships won, website, and perhaps making it the same width as Template:MedalTableTop because most speed skaters' articles use that template to display what medals the person has won. Although, if there was a way to better represent/include their medals/times in the info box, that would be great too... Examples of articles that will need/use this are: Apolo Anton Ohno, Joey Cheek, Chad Hedrick... oncamera(t) 01:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, made Template:Infobox Speed Skater and added it to Apolo Anton Ohno. How does it seem? If you like it, I will trust you to add it to the other articles as needed. —dgiestc 05:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it looks awesome. Thank you for your hard work. Cheers, oncamera(t) 15:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'm not a fan, but this is a repeat request so I created Template:Barry Manilow. —dgiestc 20:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devil May Cry Task Force

Here requesting an userbox template for Devil May Cry Task Force, I already made the content of the template my self but I am kind of new to creating templates and I need help, for the proto template please see the bottom of my user page, thanks in advance for your help.-DDF 01:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

:Actually I'll leave them here to save people the work of looking for them. -DDF

It has been done. -DDF

[edit] Verify spelling tag template

I think a tag template along the lines of the "vague" template could be very helpful for prompting editors to recheck the spelling of, in particular, obscure proper nouns. For an example of it use as I envision it, see Wrocław#Feudal era. I've given this a try at Template:Verify spelling, so please delete if it is judged useless. Thanks and best regards, Jim_Lockhart 12:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] runescape template

Alot of us play runescape so i would like it if there was a template for runescape with maybe a link to www.runescape.com in it thanks Kinglou135 21:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

ok but can you be more descriptive as in what do you want in the template or where do you intend to put it or do you just want a userbox like this
Image:Rds.JPG This user plays Runescape.

(Can't find a good looking picture for it, if you got a better one, I'll swap the image.) Af648 21:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I have replaced the logo you just picked. Images licensed as fair use cannot be for purely decorative purposes, such as in userboxes as it is a copyright violation. Your userbox seems fine otherwise, do you need help with anything else? —dgiestc 23:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Let it be, damn copyright. Af648 23:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Maybe.. a link to the Runescape article in there? :) --Quasar 02:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LocateMe (for articles lacking coordinates)

I started {{LocateMe}}, for putting on talk pages of articles about specific locations, which don't have coordinates, but it needs some additional work, please - a date field (like in "cleanup") and I can't figure out how to get it to put the article, rather than the article's talk page, on which it sits, into the category. Thank you. Andy Mabbett 19:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I added the optional date parameter. Just write it as {{LocateMe|March 2007}} and it will add it. I wasn't sure if you wanted to categorize it by date like with cleanup (Articles needing coordinates from March 2007, etc.) or just have the date as a reference. Also, if you are putting the template on talk pages, I don't think there is a way to put the actual article into the category, as it will add the cat to the page it is transcluded on. I also expanded the wording a little (it looked a little empty), added a link to edit the base page, and put in a different icon. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 21:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. We've had our first success, Great Barr School - I was trying to figure out why it had disappeared from the category page! I think we will need to add the date to the category - I expect there are a lot of untagged pages about places, and I intend to ask for bot help in finding them. Could you do the necessary, please? Andy Mabbett 21:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Come to think of it, does the template belong on talk pages, or on the articles themselves? Andy Mabbett 21:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if its major enough for the article itself. You could ask around at the Wikiproject, the Help Desk, or maybe the Village Pump though. Also, you dated some without the sapce between the month and year. I fixed them, but the category is still there. Just tag it with {{db-author}} and it will get deleted. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 21:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
All noted; thanks again. Andy Mabbett 23:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Update: there seems to be consensus for putting on the article proper; and that seems to have good results, with a high proportion of articles being updated accordingly. Thank you again. Andy Mabbett 18:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
