Welcome to the Template Taskforce! This is part of the MediaWiki Project
This is (will be) a guide to creating, perfecting, deploying and documenting templates used at Wikiversity.
Prerequisites
Please take the Wikiversity:Guided tour if you haven't already.
Recommended:
See also Topic:MediaWiki and join the MediaWiki Project if you wish.
Immediate needs
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.
- 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}}
- ...
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.
- ...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.
