Wikiversity:Template task force: Difference between revisions

Many Wikiversity templates have been imported from sisterprojects and either don't work well here at wikiversity or are in need of documentation such as intended use, variation, substitution procedures, etc. We will focus on these, first, beginning with a listing of policy-related and other critical templates.

See templates for the complete list. If you see some that need work, please list them here including a brief summary of what kind of attention is needed:

Template:Policy - lacks discussion (testing 1.2.3)
A basic set of page navigation templates such as those used at the bottom of w:Music genre and w:History of Europe. See {{AI navbar 0}} for a simple example.
{{Welcome}} - It is important to welcome newcomers to Wikiversity. The welcome template can be added to a newcomer's talk page, automatically signing with your username if you are logged in. Please help keep an eye on the user creation log and add this template quickly to their user talk page.
liquidThreads - This project began as a feature request at meta, (m:liquidThreads) but was pretty much shelved. We hope to revive it here. see {{liquidThreads}} and Template talk:LiquidThreads
Wikipedia/Wikiversity - a template that resides in the Template Namespace at Wikipedia, linking to the appropriate page, school, or topic at Wikiversity. You can help by making sure the {{wikiversity}} template on a wikipedia article points to the right place here. The template should only appear in the External links section of a Wikipedia article. See Template:Wikiversity at Wikipedia for more information.
Reading Group template for Wikipedia -- similar to the above template but pointing towards Portal:Reading groups as well.

Learning groups

Important: See Category:Page creation templates for ideas on how to create whole pages from templates called "boilerplates".

Learning projects

We will learn some fundementals by creating some new templates. Please list needed needed templates here:

Template:TemplateTaskforce - Place {{TemplateTaskforce}} on the Template_talk page associated with a template that you feel needs attention.
Template:Wiki101 came from and goes along with lesson Wiki 101
Template:User oops is a fun template to look at and study. It's used as an example at Wiki 101.
Barnstorm (Barnstar Brainstorm) - This is where we discuss award templates for Wikiversity.
Avoid /potential conflicts, and name your templates specifically
...edit me to add an interesting template...

Getting Started

Make sure you have read through Wiki 101, paying particular attention to the Templates section. That section deals with small templates that are added to pages as reusable infoboxes, navigational aids and such. Our textbook is the Help:Template section of the MediaWiki Handbook at Meta. Please sign up below and introduce yourself at Wikiversity talk:Templates.
