Wikipedia talk:Template messages

Netoholic, I was surprised that you deleted the reference to the disputedpolicy template. The only good-faith reason I could think of that you would do so is because the template (which is highly useful) was not yet created. So I went ahead and copied and simplified the one from English Wikipedia, and then placed the link back here under "Other." I hope that you agree with me now that it is worth keeping. Happy editing! --Cromwellt|talk 03:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Changes

Netoholic reverted all my changes to this page (without explanation). I believe that he only meant to remove my "Move to Wiktionary" template. Based on this assumption, I will redo the other changes, leaving that one for later, if ever. If I am mistaken, please let me know, and explain to me what is wrong with the other changes I made. These changes are:

• addition of the proposed template, which he did not delete, only removed the reference
• change from Template:db to Template:delreq, according to his recommendation
• addition of Template:tl, which he did not delete, only removed the reference

Happy editing! --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 21:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

nostalgia and idea (policy --> hard rule; guideline --> soft rule)

Boy, coming to this page and reading my own comments about old disagreements sure does take me back. I'm glad that that is all behind us now, though it is too bad that Netoholic chose to discontinue his participation here.

Anyway, I have another idea I wanted to propose here: the words "policy" and "guideline" are not simple English. On the other SE projects, we've changed those words to "hard rule" and "soft rule," respectively. What do you think?

Stub

it is clearer an article is a stub when its above the article

Doesn't SUBST

Could someone please fix {{subst:RepeatVandal}}? It doesn't substitute. Svanslyck (talk) 22:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

All templates substitute. Griffinofwales (talk) 22:49, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Requesting template

Is this possible? Or can I just create a template? - I would like to create a template based on Template:Big Brother endgame for Big Brother articles. Thank you, AJona1992 (talk) 22:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello

Where is a collection of templates? Give me a link for place of collection templates. And myadvice to big change or repaired that template. Do you support me? Thanks Arifys (talk) 13:24, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Request for Comment for a RfC template

I believe that a template, called "RfC" (Request for Comment) should be created. This will be helpful for general questions that do not fit a RfD, RfP etc. Without an RfC, questions that an editor may have will not get help from experienced editors and have to rely on the editors currently in the talk page. This is basically the RfC concept in the English Wikipedia, but it would be beneficial.

Example

Putting a {{rfc}} creates the below:

An editor has requested comments from others for this discussion.

RfC Category: Unsorted

Should we add an RfC template?

• Add - A RfC template can easily address questions that do not fit other templates. This will bring attention to questions that require answers from other editors. Angerxiety (talk)
• Your response here - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amit. (sign here with 3 ~)

Below are other replies for a RfC

• Comment
• Yes
• No
• Keep
• Delete
• Weakly/very weakly (response)
• Strongly/very strongly (response)

There is no set replies, meaning you can just put whatever you want as a reply.

• Rebuttal

@Angerxiety If you want to draw more users to this discussion, you could add a link to it from WP:Simple talk. Lights and freedom (talk) 04:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

@Angerxiety: You're fairly new here, so you might not know that for this kind of thing we use either Simple talk or a relevant talk page. That's so that our small user base doesn't have as much infrastructure to manage. What infrastructure would be needed for this? -- Auntof6 (talk) 07:20, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

And, yes, right now discussions like this should at least be publicized at Simple talk, if not actually taking place there. -- Auntof6 (talk) 07:21, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
