Wikipedia:Requested templates

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Requests for new templates and updates to existing templates can be placed on this page. You may also avail of personally contacting a user who has identified themselves as an adept template coder, and either point them to your request here, or putting the request straight to them. Please note that personal requests should be a last resort.

Add new requests at the bottom of the page. Please provide a detailed description of how you would like the template to operate.

Please note that stub templates are usually requested at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals rather than here.

 '''Note!: please be extremely specific about what you want. For instance, don't just say, "I'd like a template made about Monkeys." Tell us exactly what you want on the template (e.g. links to which articles, what kind of text, etc.), how you want it to look, and what you want it to do.'''

 Click here to create a new request.


 * Please do not request or create disclaimer templates, such as "this page contains offensive content". Wikipedia is not censored.

Templates can be created by anyone, but it is not always clear how to get a particular template function to work. If you are familiar with Wikipedia template structure please consider helping with the requests on this page.

To Archive: Please allow the templates to enter the Templates needing to be Categorized page (first link in the box on the right) - this is done by a bot that archives the templates there if they have not been touched for 15 days. Then - by copy and pasting, please take the template to either the Templates created or updated page, the Request for Existing Templates page (if the template requested for was not created due to a prior existence of a similar or if the existing template was requested to be updated and the request was denied) or the Request closed without Template page. Based on the date of the first comment on that entry, please sort the file accordingly (first select the year, then the month).

Modification of Template:Cite book
I request a modification to to add an alternative to the last= and first= fields. They make the template useless for authors from cultures where people put their family name first. This is not unusual :-) . Ideally a simple author= field that substitutes for the other two. Thank you. Seektruthfromfacts 01:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism
I've requested this before but it got archived before anybody took up the request, so I'll try again. I could try to make it myself but I have no experience coding more complex templates like this one. The wording and template name are fairly specific this time, so it shouldn't be too much work for someone who knows what they are doing. Richard001 00:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:un-r (Template:un-reverting) (un=user notice)

Thank you for your efforts to fight vandalism (Optional link to diff). Your attempts to restore the page to a good version have not been fully successful however [Optional comparison of your edit and a full reversion] Please be sure to revert vandalism in future edits. Not reverting runs the risk of missing part of the vandalism, or not restoring text the vandal may have damaged or removed. This results in the vandal succeeding in damaging Wikipedia, which may encourage them to continue. Also, please be sure that you revert to a clean (vandal free) version. Looking at recent diffs in the page history is useful here. Thanks, and please continue helping to keep Wikipedia vandalism free!

To go in Category:User namespace templates
 * ✅ at Template:un-reverting (I have made Template:un-r redirect there). The syntax is:

ImproperRevertDiff
 * Note that all additional fields are optional; the template works fine without them. Now, I didn't want to go outside what you gave me, but is it OK if I add a "[[Image:Information.svg‎|20px]]" to it? That way it looks more like a user warning, but it's up to you. Also, if anything needs to be fixed, just say so :) Cheers,  A r k y ¡Hablar!  20:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Arky. I find myself giving people this message more and more often these days. Hopefully it will help people fight vandalism more effectively. Richard001 22:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

LGBT oddities
On pregnancy, someone's become offended by our use of the pronoun "she"; I've put a notice at the top of the page to the effect of "this article uses she for simplicity's sake; see also male pregnancy and transman for male-identifying pregnancies" or whatever (it was worded better), but it'd be nice to have a generic template to the effect of "This article uses the pronoun [he or she, would be an option] for simplicity's sake, though examples of this occuring in the opposite gender do exist. For more information, see [optional parameter here]", just to let people know so they don't get offended. I bet a lot of people never thought about transmen pre-op becoming pregnant, so it's informative as well as preserving the editor's sanity. Kuronue | Talk 13:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm hardly an expert in the subject, but would this have many uses? If there aren't more than 5 or 6 articles that would use such a template, it may be easiest just to copy and change the text that's already there. Mr. Z- man  17:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Articles shouldn't be written to account for every possible variation. Doing so will make the prose convoluted and confusing.  Truly notable variants can be discussed in their own section/article.  If we really end up with a lot of "FooBar in other gender" articles, I'm guessing it would be best to handle them on a case-by-case basis.  &mdash;dgies tc 18:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

user template for tigerlemurguy
Please could i make a requset for this template

this user lives in hampshire

this user is a animal lover

thanks


 * There are a ton of examples at Userboxes. You should be able to make whatever you want without much difficulty.  Perhaps you should create a user page before you worry about what templates to add to it. <font color="#00F">&mdash;dgies tc 17:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Manipulation template
I would like to add a template that indicates that a Wikipedia article is subject to systematic manipulation by a company or other entity that has multiple user account and tries to subtly bias the article in their direction. Here is my suggestion:

That this is a relevant scenario was shown not only by the WikiScanner, which sadly can only identify IP addresses and is blind to the scenario I mention, but also by the example of leaked MediaDefender mails, that clearly proof that manipulation attempts took place and by looking at the recent edits are still taking place, although on a more subtle level. Manipulation attempts by a group of users with usernames can only be prevented by having other users very carefully looking over all the edits, something that might not happen normally per WP:AGF. I am unsure if this template is already in the correct format and where to submit it to become official, so I am posting it here. --84.178.123.32 10:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Userbox request
hello there. could you make me a userbox saying "this user prefers edible photos" with either: the word "yum" or: a icon "Icon_-_sunset_photo_2+pacman.svg" thanks

Summary style template
This is one we seem to have a need for, but I can't find anything similar around. To be placed on the article that should be summarized:

This article should be summarized in (target article).

And on the target article:

This article should include a summary of (article to be summarized).

I've recently seen a suggestion of merging Criticism of Greenpeace with Greenpeace. A merge is clearly not the solution, yet nobody seems aware of what the obvious answer is. This template would be useful in such situations. It could be placed on the talk page or article page, like similar templates. I suggest the name Template:Summarizein and Template:Summarizefrom. It could even be a single template with a parameter for choosing which version, though this would probably be simpler. Richard001 10:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, never seen that one before... Thanks. I'll create a redirect for to it.

Actually, they're not really the same, are they? One is saying 'harmonize', the other is saying 'a summary of x is omitted; please include one'. Is there any way to 'harmonize' these two into one template? If I added it to the greenpeace example above editors might be confused as to what I was suggesting. Harmonize would generally be for situations where content is present in both articles, but doesn't say the same thing. It could at the furthest stretch mean this, but it would certainly be a source of potential confusion. I've tried broadening the scope by editing the template, but I think it might be better just to create a new pair. Richard001 06:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm...I see your point. I'll create the template then :) Cheers, <font color="#B87333">ARkY // <font color="#B87333">¡HaBLaR!  20:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, template created at Summarize. Cheers, <font color="#B87333">ARkY // <font color="#B87333">¡HaBLaR!  20:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. One last thing - would you be able to remove the 'article=' code? It's always better to keep it as simple as possible. Cheers. Richard001 10:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ here. Cheers, <font color="#B87333">ARkY // <font color="#B87333">¡HaBLaR!  03:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait, I didn't mean to remove the field entirely, just the code 'article =', so it would be |to|article name, not |to|article=article name. Without the article field it's rather confusing as to what article is intended. Richard001 08:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, Richard: ✅. I've made it so that the article field no longer needs the  prefix, and each field has the potential to work independently from the other (for example, the "to/from" field could be filled out with no article, or vice versa, and yes, they both work fine together =D).
