Template talk:Single infobox request

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Single infobox request 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.
This template does not have a documentation subpage. If the template page contains categories, interwiki links or usage notes, move these to Template:Single infobox request/doc. If the template does not require documentation, add |doc=no to this template ({{permprot}}).

This seems to fairly clearly be a template directed at editors, rather than readers. As such it should go on the talk page. I have reformatted the template to the talk page standard, and begun moving it. - SimonP 15:45, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} Could it be included on the template that it should go on talk pages? I find it often still placed on the actual article page. Garion96 (talk) 12:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The code to fulfil this request is {{check talk}}. --ais523 16:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Done. Proto::► 19:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Generic infobox

Is there a generic infobox request template available (i.e. an equivalent to {{reqphoto}}?) --Aarktica 19:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • There appears to be a template which fits the bill — {{infoboxneeded}}. --Aarktica 19:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move to {{ambox}}

{{editprotected}}

Could the page please be edited to:

{{check talk}} {{ambox |type=style |image=[[Image:Nuvola mimetypes cdbo list.png|50px]] |text=A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs#Infobox|Song Infobox]] has been requested for this article. Please format it according to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs|the guidelines]]. }}<includeonly>{{{category|[[Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}}</includeonly><noinclude> ---- This template places the article in [[:Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes]]. </noinclude>

Thanks. — Coren (talk) 18:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Done, Garion96 (talk) 19:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Um... why was this done? This template goes on talk pages. Should of been left brown. - Rocket000 00:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm. Error? I don't mind a revert; this stems from a misuderstanding about which list of templates to modify to use— although I've got the feeling the talk space boxes will eventually be revisited (but perhaps not with the same color/style scheme). — Coren (talk) 01:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
In my defense, however, there was no indication that this template was talk-space only. — Coren (talk) 01:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
That it used the formally selected talk page template scheme and contained the code "messagebox standard-talk" were fairly good indications. —David Levy 01:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
It's ok, Coren. If the talk namespace (or any other namespace) templates get a make-over (they're already standardize somewhat with the color scheme) I hope something totally different from {{ambox}} is used , so it's obvious where to place the template based on just how it looks. - Rocket000 05:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template placement vs. article placement (as in a category)

I was wondering if it was at all possible to make this template, when placed on a talk page, put the article itself (not the talk page) into Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes.

If not then where it says "This template places the article in Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes." it should say "This template places the article's talk page in Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes." - Rocket000 06:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Req: Fix confusing wording

{{editprotected}}

There is an {{Infobox Single}} and an {{Infobox Song}}, which this template confuses. Please change:

A Song Infobox has been requested for this article. Please format it according to the guidelines.

to:

An {{Infobox Single}}, {{Infobox Song}} or {{Infobox Standard}} has been requested for this article. Please format it according to the guidelines.

I've changed the request to add , {{Infobox Song}} or {{Infobox Standard}}, because the template is currently used for lots of non-single songs. It is misnamed for that purpose, but this is at least an improvement. --PEJL 07:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I made the change, with slightly different wording. I also fixed the table syntax while I was there. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
