A group of Wikipedians has formed this WikiProject to better manage Wikipedia's myriad templates. This page and all subpages of this page contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the project's talk page and see the to-do list there.
Goals
[మార్చు]The main goal of this WikiProject is:
- To help manage the template namespace of Wikipedia.
Scope
[మార్చు]It consists of:
- Conducting efforts to better organize, document and display all templates in the template namespace, including: navigation templates, infobox templates, inline templates linking country articles, stub types, image copyright tags and user language templates (Babel).
- Solving specific templates issues, such as standardisation and locations.
- Improving the general documentation on how to create and use templates, in addition to improving the documentation pages of the individual templates.
- Clean-up of the unused, unneeded and/or redundant templates, using the templates for discussion (TfD) process and guidelines.
- Providing help and guidance in creating, updating, correcting and testing templates.
