Do we have a template that goes on an article stating that it needs serious cleanup? --Narfil Palùrfalas 15:36, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

The rather appropriately named, {{cleanup}} template. There's also {{stub}} but that is a tad different. --Hyarion 16:51, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

Template suggestions

I have ideas for two templates.

1. One that indicates that a certain article must be created. For instance, suppose you had an article, or even a list of articles, that you wanted to create or have created. You could put the Creation template on that article's page, which means the designated article needs to be created. It would make things a little easier. . . and perhaps faster. . .
2. One that indicates that a marked Sindarin word is referenced by Hiswelókë's Sindarin dictionary. It's rather annoying to place it only practically every Sindarin word page.

Just some ideas. Not sure if I explained the first one correctly. --Narfil Palùrfalas 21:19, 2 October 2006 (EDT)

Ideas are always good. Hm, I suppose a Create template wouldn't be a bad idea, though Template:Stub would probably be pretty close to what we're looking for. A Sindarin Dictionary template is also a good idea. It'll probably be more efficient if I show you how to make the templates so you can create them in the future.

For the Sindarin Dictionary template all you'll have to do is go to Template:Hiswelókësindarindictionary (or choose something shorter), insert the text you would like to be repeated on the pages, and in those pages just type {{Hiswelókësindarindictionary}}. It's as simple as that. For Template:Create just add something like "This page needs to be created" Category:Articles to be written and then people can insert {{create}} in a blank page and the text and category will be inserted. --Hyarion 23:44, 2 October 2006 (EDT)
