- You may be looking for the template documentation or the overview of standardized warning and blocking templates.
This project seeks to create a complete, standardised set of user warning templates with full documentation and help pages. If you'd like to help, please see the following section or the talk page. Feel free to add yourself to the list of participants if you'd like to help; even if you're not yet sure how to participate but desire to learn. Edit this page if you see a way that it can be improved.
[edit] Guidelines
[edit] Documentation
The documentation provide both basic and advanced documentation to various aspects of templates.
[edit] Layout
- User warning templates could be grouped by date under the heading "Notices". Note: If there have been multiple warnings, you can add the template {{s/wnote}} (or {{repeat vandal}} if the account has been repeatedly blocked) at the top of this section.
- User warnings and block messages should be placed without line breaks.
- Old warnings may be archived into page history when they are no longer useful. Give consideration to the IP's contribution history when deciding how long to leave warnings visible. Always note the archiving of old warnings.
-
- In the case of registered users, archiving is up to them.
=Notices= {{subst:s/wnote}} ==February 2009== # warning # warning * block # warning ==March 2009== # warning #: comment about warning #:: comment # warning * block [edit] Indefinitely blocked users
Talk pages of indefinitely blocked users should be cleared of all content except the block notice. This block notice should explain the block reason, or link to the block log which does so.
[edit] About the WikiProject
These are the general objectives the WikiProject seeks to eventually achieve.
- Templates will consist of four warnings levels 1 - 4 as per guidelines, also applicable to blocks.
- Include formatting as part of the template, eliminating the need for often conflicting formatting methods used by different users on the same page.
- Increase the flexibility of each template using parser functions, so that named derivatives i.e. -n become obsolete.
- Standardise template format, in such a way that their severity can be easily distinguished at a glance, using recognised images and formatting.
- Templates will not include ==Headers==
- Templates will not include ~~~~
- Template naming will be of similar syntax i.e. no spaces, capitals, etc, preferably use a mnemonic and free of redundancy.
- Use of new vandalism warnings to be promoted over use of test warnings, which will become non blockable. Tests warnings only to be used for obvious tests, anything else covered by varying levels of vandalism warning.
- All templates made obsolete are to have the relevant redirects added.
These are a list of specific tasks that any user can help with.
- [In Progress] Completely harmonise all user page templates. Review the work to be carried out on the overview page, and volunteer your services.
- [In Progress] Create how to guide on appropriate use of warning template, and complete documentation.
Generally, you can also help with any of the following.
- Add any relevant WikiProject or Wikipedia pages to the See Also section.
- Point anyone who might be interested to the WikiProject and publicise the project.
- Add any suggestions or ideas to the talk page.
