[edit] Template:Christian Denominations

I would like to request a template for the categorisation of Christian denominations. I like the template on the Dutch wikipedia. I would like the following categories:

1. Name of denomination 2. Main classification (Roman-Catholic, Protestant, Eastern-Orthodox, etc.) 3. Orientation (main theology, i.e. Calvinism, Arminianism, Baptist, etc.) 4. Founded (Date and/or place of founding) 5. Separated from (name of denomination) 6. Separations (names of denominations that have split off from this denomination) 7. Statistics: 7a. Congregations (number of congregations nationwide) 7b. Members (number of members nationwide) Lufiend 02:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to Sjabloon:Navigatie_Christendom? Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 23:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I presume so. I'm not a programming expert. I find this info box on various pages about protestant denominations (e.g. [1]). Lufiend 02:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, you want an infobox (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjabloon:Kerkgenootschap Sjabloon:Kerkgenootschap). I misread your comment, I thought you wanted a navigation box. I'll see what I can do. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 02:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Sorry for the confusion. Like I say, I know my way around information and can spot non-sense a mile away (which I clean up), but I'm useless at templates etc. I'm just not a programmer.Lufiend 03:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay, check it out at Template:Infobox Christian denomination. If you have any questions/comments/concerns, leave a message on the template's talk page. As I'm not a theology expert, I used only what you listed above, linking to what I thought was relevant. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 04:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch. This looks like just the ticket. Lufiend 03:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template for geographical imbalance of a section aimed at a region not the world

The 'globalize' template messages for an article or section all seem to say that the article "does not represent a worldwide view of the subject". But the article or section may require not a 'worldwide view' but a regional view. For instance, an article or section on something in Europe, which has been written only with UK examples, needs to say
"does not represent a Europe-wide view" or
"does not provide balanced geographical coverage of the region in question" or
"does not provide balanced geographical coverage of (region specifed)"
For the latter the template should allow the editor to specify the region, ie {{geographical imbalance|region}} produces "does not represent a region-wide view". If there is indeed such a thing please note I searched for 15-20 mins!Thanks Rexparry sydney 00:52, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I have created {{Geographical imbalance}}. Feel free to reword it or tell me if the parameters ought to behave differently. –Pomte 09:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help creating a Infobox Template: Automobile Defunct

I was refered to this page from the Wikipedia Help Desk. I would like to have a Infobox created for automobile companies/makes that are now defunct. The other templates I have reviewed do not provide enough specific industry detail that would be required. I don't know if it would be more efficient to modify an existing Infobox, or create a new one. I have a model of what I want it to look like at: User:Drussel3/Auto#Defunct_Automobile_-_Suggestion. Any help out there of someone who could help me develop this. Thanks. --Drussel3 17:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I can help add fields to {{Infobox Automobile}} or another template, or create a new template called {{Infobox Defunct Automobile}} or something. I don't think it is a good idea to have the infobox be available for both companies and makes, assuming there are fields specific to each. The company infobox can be modelled after {{Infobox Defunct Company}}. –Pomte 18:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed many possibilities before proposing this. This Infobox I am envisioning should be at a Company/Make (definition: GM-Company, Chevrolet-Make) level. Not at an model (model-Corvette), or individual automobile level, this is {{Infobox Automobile}} . I agree with you, this should be modeled after the {{Infobox Defunct Company}}. See the following for what it would be similar to: De Lorean Motor Company, Chrysler, Buick. These are all Infobox Company items.

I would like your expertise on what the ideal option would be, but my suggestion would probably be: Infobox Automobile Company. This way it would be industry specific, and it could be applied to existing auto companies and defunct auto companies. Your thoughts --Drussel3 16:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was confused about makes and models because I know nothing about cars. Created {{Infobox Automotive Company}}, as "automotive" seems to be the adjectival form. Tell me if any fields should be tweaked. –Pomte 07:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changing complex template

Hi, at the page Template_talk:32TeamBracket-Compact-Tennis3#size of the template I am looking for an expert in template to see if it is possible to make the proposed changes of this template. Can I find those experts here ? Of course I can try myself but in that case it will be a long lasting trial-and-error procedure. Miho NL 12:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Done; see that talk discussion. –Pomte 21:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A special kind of tournament bracket request.

I looked at templates, but what I want to create is a bracket that has 2 rounds, but contains 3 teams in a match, as well as a 3 game total in each match. I also want to contain a 3rd place match in this tournament bracket as well. Is it possible to make brackets with 3 teams in one match?

BrandonTheGreat 02:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's possible. Is there only one 3-team match in the bracket, or are they all 3-team matches, even the final? Which teams end up in the third place match? What sport is this? Please explain or edit the following diagram to show what you mean. –Pomte 02:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Semifinals              Final

Team1 # # # #|
Team2 # # # #|----|
Team3 # # # #|    |
                  |
                  |
Team4 # # # #|    |  Match 1W # # # #|
Team5 # # # #|----|--Match 2W # # # #|
Team6 # # # #|    |  Match 3W # # # #|
                  |
                  |
Team7 # # # #|    |
Team8 # # # #|----|
Team9 # # # #|
                    Consolation Match

                     Match 1 2nd  # # # #
                     Match 2 2nd  # # # #
                     Match 3 2nd  # # # #

Ok, what I want is for 3 matches of 3 teams, right now you have 2, the winners of the threesomes go to the finals, so the finals is a match of 3, and the 2nd place teams go to the consolation match. I shouldn't have said 3rd place match but consolation match. Also, I want 4 spots, so I can show the total of the 3 games. Other than that, it's right.

Done. See {{9TeamBracket}}. –Pomte 19:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Great but one small issue, the bar doesn't connect to the final match. Also, can you tweak it so I can add in seeding numbers, this is for showing results of Laser Quest NAC tournaments.

Just out of curiousity - couldn't you just say 1. First Seed Team in the team name area? Also, please remember to sign your post with 4 tildes (~~~~)danielfolsom 21:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Most if not all of the other tournament bracket templates have seed numbers, so I've added them. I was working in Firefox so I didn't notice that the line doesn't connect to the final in Internet Explorer and possibly other browsers. I'll fix this now. –Pomte 21:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, if you want to make more work for yourself then go right ahead! Haha, seriously though what you've done on this is amazing - I'm not sure how you did the lines, or how you had enough patience to write that much code. Great job.danielfolsom 21:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The seeds don't work, what is wrong with my coding on this page, or is it a mistake on your behalf, thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America_Challenge_2006#Tournament_Bracket BrandonTheGreat 22:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Fixed; my mistake. –Pomte 23:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby sevens

Can someone create an Italian rugby sevens template and a Georgian rugby sevens template? Andy4226uk 10:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

What should be in these templates, teams or leagues? I've found only general worldwide templates like {{World sevens series}} and {{RWC Sevens}}. –Pomte 10:11, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I have created 2007 London Sevens page, you will see that all the other countries have a flag and a link to their rugby sevens team. It is just Italy and Georgia that don't.Andy4226uk 10:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

e.g. Template:AUSru7 has the Aus flag and a link to the Australian sevens team.Andy4226uk 11:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I've created:

{{ITAru7}} - Template:ITAru7

{{GEOru7}} - Template:GEOru7

by linking to their national teams (couldn't find a more specific article for sevens). –Pomte 15:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I've now created pages for Georgian national rugby union team (sevens) and Italian national rugby union team (sevens), so could it be possible to modify those templates? Andy4226uk 15:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Done, but questions: Is the sevens team significantly different from the regular national rugby union team? Could those articles you made be expanded, or can the information be added to Italy national rugby union team and Georgia national rugby union team? I see the latter already talks about sevens. –Pomte 05:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately I know very little about either of these teams, I shall put a post on the Rugby Union Project Page to try and get somebody more knowledgable to expand those articles.Andy4226uk 08:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Don Imus

I would like a template that says " This user thinks Don Imus is innocent and wonders what happened to free speech." for the picture i would like to have a red background and in red the symbols @#*! or dome thing similar. Thank you You have been blessed with a message from: Kinglou135 20:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Copy the following code to User:Kinglou135/Userboxes/Don Imus, and add <noinclude>[[Category:Original Wikipedian userboxes]]</noinclude> to the end. To use it from there, use {{User:Kinglou135/Userboxes/Don Imus}}. You may also want to check out Wikipedia:Userboxes. Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 21:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I have copied this userbox to Template:Don Imus Innocent--Hornetman16 17:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I think there should also be another one like that but says he's guilty!--Hornetman16 17:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I have moved this userbox to Template:Don Imus Guilty--Hornetman16 17:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fill in your wording of choice, or choose a better image. –Pomte 17:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
