In a couple of cases now I've wanted a template that said "X redirects here. For Y, see Z." (currently, for [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]], "'''"The Lord of the Rings (film)"''' redirects here. For the animated film directed by Ralph Bakhshi, see [[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)]].") {{tl|Otheruses4}} contains similar wording but doesn't mention redirection, and {{tl|Redirect}} points to a disambiguation page, which might be overkill if (as in this case) there is just one alternative. Would there be any reason not to create such a template? [[User:Hairy Dude|Hairy Dude]] 20:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC) |

Revision as of 17:31, 23 February 2006
Note moved from main page:
Template:reqimage - NOTE: Louisisthebest_007 19:43, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC) made a new template for wikipedia...but I don't know how to make tables >.<...if this is good, can someone add it for me?

Relocation of templates
Background - Some templates relate to article issues not article information, but were in "General Templates". Because of this, wiki-ists with article disputes often were unaware and used disputed tags when there may have been a more appropriate tag elsewhere.
Put the templates that deal with "article issues" on the same page as the templates that deal with "article disputes". People looking for a way to say "something needs fixing on an article" will probably want to see these all together.
Left templates to do with page descriptions rather than page issues in General templates.
A big leap but I trust approved of by others. Note that "Template messages:Disputes" provbably needs renaming "Template messages:Article issues and disputes".
Hopefully this will increase awareness of tags which tdo not signidfy dispute, and reduce divisive "NPOV tagging" disputes.
Moved to "article issues":
- attention, cleanup, contradict, hawaiian, Limitedgeographicscope, all 'merge' templates, POV check, reqimage, split, Translation, Undecided, Wrongtitle, Wrongtitlecat
Kept in "general":
- current, disambig, Expansion, Free software, In Wikipedia, lipsum, subst:mnl?, otheruses, otherplaces, subst:ref <N>, solution, SpecialChars, spoiler, wikicode

Invitation templates
What about a new template like:
This article is about a living person. He/she is invited to tell us more about himself/herself.
But, don't take this all too seriously.
This page
Has anyone noticed that all the edit links are broken in the table? Is this intentional? — Xiong (talk) 04:07, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)
Template:Lookfrom needs to be put somewhere. I don't do tables! --For One World 19:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC) (This message moved from project page by --Ezeu 21:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC))
Redirect2?
In a couple of cases now I've wanted a template that said "X redirects here. For Y, see Z." (currently, for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, ""The Lord of the Rings (film)" redirects here. For the animated film directed by Ralph Bakhshi, see The Lord of the Rings (1978 film).") {{Otheruses4}} contains similar wording but doesn't mention redirection, and {{Redirect}} points to a disambiguation page, which might be overkill if (as in this case) there is just one alternative. Would there be any reason not to create such a template? Hairy Dude 20:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Disambig People
Is there a template for a disambig. page for several people who share the same name? I ran into this situation recently and just used the general template, but think a customized one would be better. Ckamaeleon 11:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
