[edit] Informing users not to remove deletion notices from images?
Is there a template I can use on a user's talk page to inform them of the guidelines around removing deletion notices on images? I can't find one. Thanks. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 08:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Findagrave template
I found this: Template messages at Find A Grave as an external link in Ramesses II -- I'm going to delete it as it adds nothing to the article, but can someone please give me some context for it? What's it supposed to be used for? Thanks.--Doug Weller (talk) 13:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sister project - split
Would it be a good idea to split the numerous template examples from WP:SISTER guideline into a more proper /Sister projects subpage here (similar to /Cleanup or others)? I find it funny that a serious thing, a guideline, is so overloaded with templates that it now became effectively a subpage of this help. Main discussion is at SISTER's talk page, so please respond there. --Kubanczyk (talk) 17:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Question about onesource template
Someone asked (pretty much) this question almost a year ago on Template talk:Onesource but it was never answered. I was reading in Template:Onesource#Usage and it seems to me that the {{onesource}} is for when citations are inappropriate or misinterpreted. On the other hand I can not find anywhere in WP:Citing sources which shows that a section needs to have more than one source (although I agree that in most situations the more the better in a section, and that it is a problem if the entire article is based on only 1 source). Please correct me here if I'm reading this wrong, or correct the Template:Onesource#Usage to be more plain in its correct meaning. If I'm right that a section can be based on one source and still be effevtively written, then why does this template give the option to be used on sections, instead of only on entire articles, and why do people constantly use this template for sections that have one perfectly legitimate reference?

[edit] Message box standardisation
Last summer we deployed {{ambox}} for article message boxes and some weeks ago we deployed {{imbox}} and {{cmbox}} for image page and category page message boxes.
Now we have coded up the {{tmbox}} for talk pages and the {{ombox}} for all other types of pages such as "Wikipedia:" pages. This means all the namespaces are covered. Everyone is invited to take a look at the new boxes and have a say at their talk pages.
 |
Note that we are suggesting some colour changes for talk page and "other pages" message boxes. So we really would like some input from some editors before we deploy this all over Wikipedia. For instance, this is a {{tmbox}} with the suggested style for "minor warnings and problems". |
 |
And this is an {{ombox}} with the suggested style for "major warnings and problems". |
