[edit] CSD

Hi, I'd like to see a template that lets new users know (similar to the one for AfD's) that the article they just created is about to be speedy deleted, and to tag it with {{hangon}} if they wish to contest the deletion. It should have space for a reason (nnbio, vandalism, empty) etc. Thanks! --Deon555|talk|e 08:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I assume you mean like Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace#Deletion notifications? It should be no problem to create template:CSDWarning and template:CSDNote. Whether they'll be regularly used is perhaps another matter. CSD is really intended for articles admins are permitted to delete on sight, so there's no guarantee any such article will be tagged before it's deleted. Perhaps CSD should be changed so it does not apply to "good faith" articles from new users. -- Rick Block (talk) 16:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actor Template

HI, my first time doing an article (I couldn't find another name to best describe it) and I sort of need a template to put in the following information:

  • A photo of the actor (centered)
  • The date and location of the author's birth
  • Occupation.
  • Gender
  • His most notable works.

There are a variety of templates that already exist for this. If you look at an existing article for a similar actor, there will almost certainly already be such a template used in the article. To reuse an existing template, just copy and paste the reference (from another article) and correct the content for the new article. For example, template:Infobox Celebrity is used in the article on Harrison Ford. If you let me know what article you're working on I'm sure we can find a template that will work. -- Rick Block (talk) 15:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Harrison Ford now uses {{Infobox actor}} (which was created in May 2006). This request is complete. Mike Dillon 16:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Unencyclopedic Section Template

There is a template to suggest an article is unenecyclopedic, but I am coming across a number of radio station articles with schedules that are unencyclopedic, although the radio station has a vaild reason for a place in Wikipedia. Could a template be made where a section, rather than a whole article is in violation of What Wikipedia is not policy? --tgheretford (talk) 07:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Send me your proposed text and I'll create it. PatrickFisher 13:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Please help the author of this template! :)Pixeltoo 02:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Why aren't you just using {{Co-operatives}}? -Amarkov blahedits 21:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
