To Do List

I have decided that rather than Suggest templates over at the Current Events i would compile a list of template that the wiki is missing that i believe it should have the majority of which are from other wikis with a link to an example

1. Deletion template: for articles and images not needed Delete Template

Followed by a few Security template to protect against vandalism

1. Banned Template: For users who disrupt the community, write abusive things, spam, ect banned template
2. Protection of Article Template: for constantly vandalized pages protected template

back to page maintenance

1. Imageless Template: For pages needing pictures within articles (Not covers) Image Template
2. Incomplete Lists: For lists that arn't finished Incomplete List
3. Red Links: For Pages with more that 3 to 5 redlinks Redlinks
4. Template / Category for pages needing translation Translation
5. In Use Template: for Articles undergoing a major edit In Use

don't forget to use colours and images related to the phantom :)

I would do it myself but have had bad luck making templates in the past --Dark Lord Xander3 09:57, 24 March 2008 (CET)

Yeah... template construction is one tricky business. :) Good suggestions though! Will get down to it though (I might wait with the Phantom theme though - the design should be a later question.) Pjär 12:41, 24 March 2008 (CET)

I've created Template:IncompList (your maintenance template suggestion #2), Template:MissingPic (#1), Template:RedLink (#3) and Template:Translate (#4). Articles marked with any of these templates are automatically being listed in a subcategory of Category:Articles in need, just as articles marked with Template:Cite. Are there any more maintenance template we need?

Also, I've created Template:Overhaul, following your suggestion #5.

At the moment, all of these templates are very boring. Hopefully that will change in times to come. But at least they exist now :)

As of your other suggestions (all very valid!), I will have to get back to you on the matter. Pjär 23:57, 25 March 2008 (CET)
