Just wanted to let you know that we are surveying wiki Thunder fans and experts on sports userbox formats to determine whether they want User:BillTunell's style incorporated into the userbox (((User:UBX/NBA-Thunder))), or want to use the standard version.

If you're working on consolidating and eliminating redundant infoboxes in the US, there's also ((Infobox Maryland highway)), which essentially passes all of it's parameters to ((Infobox road)). A few parameters have different names, but otherwise it's the same template, with the state=MD
parameter fixed. Just thought that I'd give you a heads up if you didn't know about it. No need to reply. Imzadi 1979 → 09:09, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

MY APOLOGIES! I did not notice that Template:Port had been redirected by User:MSGJ. I am very sorry. It would be nice if someone notified me about these significant changes. Buaidh (talk) 18:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello. In reference to your deletion suggestion on Template:Findbox; a few years back there were lengthy and quite silly wars over userboxes. Eventually a decision was reached that if they were 'housed' in the User: namespace most of them would be ok. However, that resulted in various users putting various boxes on different pages and quite a bit of confusion as to where everything was located. I created findbox to help smooth the transition. Subsequently 'template:user <whatever>' became accepted as a 'pseudo namespace' for userboxes, most of them migrated there, and I updated my 'Babel' template to default to that assumption. Thus, the 'need' for findbox is well past and I don't see any problem with deleting it... and, in fact, have done so. --CBD 20:35, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I am having a little problem in the article Latin America with editor SamEV about Brazilian demographics. The main article about Brazil explains that the "Pardo" population is a a broad category that includes sub-categories such as the Mullattoes, Caboclos (known as "Mestizos" in Hispanic-America) and Cafuzos (known as "Zambo" in Hispanic America). In the Latin America article there is a table that says that 39.1% of Brazilian population are "mulatto" when the correct should be "Pardo". I explained that carefully in the talk page (See Talk:Latin America#Conflict with editor SamEV) but editor SamEV not only ignored my remarks but insist on reverting all my edits. I also tried to reach his in his own talk page but he simply erased my message. That is not a helpful behavior of his. I should had simply requested to an administrator to block him per the 3 eevert rules and asked for an arbitration since his behaving as his owns the article. However, I want to avoid that since the issue is something very simple, that is, nothing more than to clarify the table that present Brazilian demographics. As it is know, it says that there are 0% Caboclos or Mestizos (the majority of the population in Northern Region, Brazil, Northeast Region, Brazil and Central-West Region, Brazil) and 0% Cafuzos or Zambos. Could you, please, share your thoughts about it in the article talk page? Thank you very much, --Lecen (talk) 10:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

I see you attempted to redirect ((Navbox with images))
back in 2008, but it was reverted. Given that this template has only one transclusion on a talk page where it was never adopted, I would say we could probably propose this one at TFD. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 21:23, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
You have been granted the 'reviewer' userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. –xenotalk 13:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:Infobox road/WA/auxroute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>((transclusionless))</noinclude>
).

In what way do you not think ((table))
is a "normal table"?
Si Trew (talk) 19:24, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
I see that you've been adding states to city street articles. This should not be done. 1) It triggers the infobox to display maintenance by the state DOT unless overridden. Most city streets are not maintained by the state since they aren't state highways. 2) It adds the links to the state highway system lists/articles, which should also not appear unless the street is part of the state highway system. 3) It shuts off the city display, because USRD's project consensus is not to display major cities, but USST articles can and do use it. 4) It uses the colored headers like state highways. Streets should not be using those so anyone who gets the color convention is not confused. The most appropriate thing would be to switch the city street articles to ((infobox street)).

I think you should list this at WP:TFD. This isn't a move request. Fences&Windows 23:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
I see that the Bundestrasse template was switched over and sent to TfD. Any chance you'll get to the Bundesautobahn one so that it can be added to the same TfD? Right now, the only other templates left not TfD/CSD tagged are in Ontario, India, Australia, and the British Isles. I've decided that for the time being, we should forget about converting the UK or Ireland. The colors were implemented for Canada today, so Ontario should be switched back at some point. There's an open FAC for an article in Ontario, so the template might not be completely orphaned until the FAC closes. As for the current American usages, I think we have that under control without making any major changes. About the only thing we need to do is flip any historic/scenic/park roadways to use the brown color headers. 21:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Concerning the Irish infobox, there's an issue that will complicate things. Their infobox is using "clickable" maps that embed an image map. I don't find it very useful, but you can scroll the mouse over the map of Ireland and click any other highway on the map. It looks like the infobox has a subtemplate that we could "borrow" as a feed into the |map=
and set |map_custom=yes
. There are Canadian articles that use a template to generate the map that way now. The problem is that someone will probably complain because the infobox handles all of that automagically with a |map=yes
parameter. The benefit is that if we can modify the code from that subtemplate, we can make the maps bigger (IR uses 290px maps, IRL motorway infobox uses 180px maps and I can't tell a what's under my cursor on the map at that size). We might need to see if User:Sswonk would be willing to code something up as a proof of concept. Imzadi 1979 → 13:03, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

As you are an expert of detecting substituted templates I thought I'd ask your opinion of Template:Proposed deletion which uses a new template Template:Subst check top. This method uses style="display:none;" to hide the output of the template, but this not does prevent categories being emitted.

Thank for your contribution to ((Duration)). I had avoided numbered parameters, to hopefully reduce the likelihood of user error. Are you satisfied that that won't be an issue?

Fishguard looks excellent. Thanks! Note I only mentioned the possibility of a seperate infobox as Plastikspork said it would require a lot of hard work recoding UK place infobox. If you can see to it that all of Scotland is updated too this would be great, unless there are major objections of course. In due course I believe the map maker will make other maps showing road features/urban areas which can probably replace the existing maps but that will not require any template recoding of course in the infobox. Congratulations on being an admin too!! I'll remember you as a template guru, might relieve the pressure off Plastik and MCdetroit.. Dr. Blofeld 19:09, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
That's odd. Plastikspork must have wanted to spend the time eating spaghetti with one of his forks instead. Dr. Blofeld 19:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Edinburgh map is now updated please also update the infobox with it but there is an error with the Highland map see John o' Groats. You forgot the "Scotland" Highland bit. I can redirect Template:Location map Highland until you fix it. Dr. Blofeld 20:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Yeah that also needed updating. Done We have more localised maps of Glasgow anyway. Dr. Blofeld 20:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Oh yeah England can be updated now actually. See User:Nilfanion/Maps. England maps now have window locators. Can you update them for the new maps? I'll need your help replacing them like this. For those concerned about raods/urban shading Nilfanion plans on creating those in a few weeks. When he does they can be switched quickly without having to reprogram the mapping coordinates. Dr. Blofeld 20:51, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps. I know I personally prefer details like File:Newport UK map roads and areas.svg, especially for places inland and I believe most editors think the rodas/urban area shading important. I believe Nilfanion's intention is to create maps like that for each county but I'm not sure the time frame. It could be months. When he does I think we should probably replace the entire UK with those maps, Wales and Scotland too. Other than that we could could create two different map templates like Template:Location map Scotland Renfrewshire blank and Template: Scotland Renfreshire detailed. Personally I think that would be a little unneccesary and would lead to inconsistency in other templates like churches.musuems etc. I don't mind spending a little time updating them although there is the possibility that some editors will object given that the current maps don't show roads. A deep feeling tells me you;re right, it would be best until we get the England set like Newport UK map roads and areas.svg. Dr. Blofeld 21:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Yeah I'll wait to see what Nilfanion has to say before changing them. Dr. Blofeld 21:22, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Any idea why the Scottish borders map isn't showing for Edgehead? Also something needs to be done about the Aberdeen and Dundee map. I recommend you remove te localised Aberdeen and the Dundee map from UK place as the scale is too big. That whole yellow area is the urban area and it looks odd a pin map within it. Can you remove Aberdeen and Dundee from the template and make it display Scotland instead? Note though I only mean Aberdeen not Aberdeenshire. Dr. Blofeld 18:33, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Samsung Galaxy Tab.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
((di-replaceable fair use disputed))

Can you explain (or point me at the discussion) as to why the links to IMDB are being removed? Jasonfward (talk) 23:34, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
TMF activated "Stage 3.1" of the revamp last night, which added support for different color schemes in the infobox through the Template:Infobox road/meta/colors subtemplate. Currently, there's only consensus to support different colors based on four principles: 1) compliance with WP:COLOR, 2) colors based on actual signage, 3) consistency across a country and 4) exceptions granted on the basis of logical arguments (not a simple "I want it that way"). As such, only Italy is using a green colored background on the headers in IR, which matches the shade of green from IIM. Colors based on signage are also implemented for the UK in the subtemplate, but WP:UKRD tends to be resistant to changing anything unless they're the ones to make the change. In discussions over MOS:RJL, the MOS section on formatting road junction lists, UKRD members refused to sign on to any revision of the guideline unless it explicitly allows their list format (it does if they move a column's position which they won't do) so I don't advocate any changes in the UK until last.

Can you give me a hand with the rest of the Malaysian conversions? I kinda Wikibonked in the middle of switching ((Malaysia state road routebox)) over. The problem with the state roads there is one of naming and numbering. The roads all have <State> State Route X# designations, but the articles are all named based on a Malay common name. For each state I run across that's new, I needed to add another type into the naming template, which I've set up to accept either the state's name, or the unique letter from the numbers assigned. (Each state has a different letter, usually the first initial of the name, that's used in front of a number.) Once a state is in the template, it's easy, but tedious. I left Malaysia to take a break last week and moved on to other countries, but I never got back to it. Imzadi 1979 → 21:36, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Just a quick note here. Jeni said on IRC that she wouldn't oppose converting the UK over to IR if a photo parameter is added to IR. I've proposed conversion of ((infobox Australian road)) at that template's talk page without any comment. We just need to add the colors from IAR to IR from the table that's been archived at IR's talk page before or during that conversion. Where are we with the subtemplate for the clickable Irish maps for that potential switch? Imzadi 1979 → 19:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
|photo= |caption=
alone except to move any number change information to |history=
. The current |route=
is being deleted completely. If you're up for helping, your assistance is always welcome. Once we get the photo parameter turned on, that will complete the conversion, and we'll be ready to move on to the UK and Ireland. Imzadi 1979 → 21:19, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
I've posted a last call for comments at WT:UKRD and Template talk:Infobox Australian road concerning those conversions. I plan on working on them later today (Sept. 7) after I grab some sleep and run on a trip to the main public library downtown. (There's supposed to be a book that might prove valuable for some research on U.S. Route 16 in Michigan.) As for Ireland, since there's only 14 pages, and there doesn't seem to be any issue with your infoboxing the other Irish articles, I think we can just convert them over and be done. Since it's only 14, I'll probably do that before bed. Imzadi 1979 → 06:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

So, anything that's done to Jct should be done to Roadlink so there's no loss of functionality. –Fredddie™ 01:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
((jct|state=DE|DE-Bus|1))
((jct|state=DE|DE-Bus|1|noshield1=yes))
OK, I'm starting to wonder if this was the right decision. When I created this, I tried to make it as simple as possible so it wouldn't trigger the expensive parser functions category like ((Jct)) does. Now that Roadlink uses Jct, wouldn't that exacerbate the expensive parser functions issue? –Fredddie™ 21:32, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: ((State highways in Washington related to US 395)), et all.
Can you update the WP:WASH page to remove the reference to the 3dwa template, and add the new templates you have created? Thanks! --Admrboltz (talk) 21:36, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Could you look over ((USRD))? I think TwinsMetsFan (talk · contribs) set it up with (({category=no))}
so it will turn off some of the categories not unlike ((WPBannerMeta)) does. Could you extend that functionality to all of the categories? The test cases page for the USRD template is triggering some error categories when it should not. No rush on this, just a desire to clear out those categories. –Fredddie™ 00:38, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I was going to do something, but you totally rewrote how the template works, so I can't. ((Canada Roads WikiProject)) needs something added so that we categorize all of a province's articles into one master category. It would be an analog to Category:Michigan road transport articles. Thoughts? Imzadi 1979 → 06:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey, could you look at Category:Wikipedia files with unknown copyright status as of 7 December 2010 and Category:Wikipedia files with unknown source as of 7 December 2010 and figure out why the templates that these images are tagged with are showing up in the categories. Cheers, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:51, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Template:The Bill Series Summary has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. Neelix (talk) 21:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I just noticed that this list is very similar to this nomination, in that they are all essentially just passing parameters to ((WPbox)). One could replace, for example, ((Arctic WPbox))
with ((WPbox|Arctic))

HI there, you deleted my Template:KosovoMountainCoord that i spent some time working on and still am using, can you please restore it to my userspace? I was using it here User:Mdupont/GNSNames/WithElevation/Above2000 thanks James Michael DuPont (talk) 07:20, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Dear WO, I noticed you put for deletion the following templates: template:Normandy, template:Brittany, template:Kingdom of France, template:New Spain, and template:Franco-Americans. Here's the problem; if you eliminate those, the banner carrying the portal name will disappear, and all the articles they were placed in and related to them will disappear as well. I see that template:Finland, template:England, template:France, template:Cornwall, etc., still all exist, so I don't understand why this is being labelled unused, when it fact they are being used?--Chnou (talk) 14:34, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick response! Does this mean that by placing after and important article relating to it, like William the Conqueror, the portal of Normandy will show up without having the template:Normandy? If so, then the template should be changed to reflect what exists in for example template:Cronwall or template:Finland. Would that be correct? Thank you for your cooperation!--Chnou (talk) 15:17, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
![]() | Thank you for your work on highway articles across the world in 2010, whether it was converting articles to ((Infobox road)) or working on converting articles to WP:RJL or building the WP:HWY assessment infrastructure. Even though we still have a long ways to go, and my goal of a universal ((Infobox road)) and WP:RJL was not realized, we have made many improvements that will go a long way towards improving the state of the English Wikipedia highway articles. --Rschen7754 21:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC) |
Hello WOSlinker. Sorry for my english, I had to translate on google.
I imported this template from the English wikipedia, but I failed trying to insert the word Estadísticas in the statistics section as you can see the diference here and here. Could you try to insert it for me, thanks--Inefable001 (talk) 00:10, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Just to let you know that your recent edit to Template:Privacy International/Privacy index has broken it in the cases when it is transcluded. Changing the colour subtemplate calls from ((ccffcc)) to ((/ccffcc)) does not work that way, but I cannot see a way to get what you want. Could you look for a solution to this please, or otherwise revert your changes? -84user (talk) 17:11, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
I have an idea, but not tested: create Template:bgr (or similar unused short abbreviation) that takes a colour parameter and expands it to "||bgcolor='#CCFFCC' style='color:#000000;' align='right'|" (replace CCFFCC with (({1))}), then change each of the ((/ccffcc)) (etc) in Template:Privacy International/Privacy index to ((bgr|ccffcc)). If this works then ((bgr)) might be generally usable for such background colour "styles". -84user (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! I still have one issue though. Maybe you can help. Codrin.B (talk) 21:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello WOSlinker. I just wanted to let you know that the IMDb templates were updated sometime in the last year or so. When used for a film title you still need to have the word "title" in the link thus ((IMDb title|0012345)). You have been doing this correctly so I am just putting it here as an example. However, when it comes to actor articles you no longer need to put in the word "name" as that is the default for the template. Thus, ((IMDb|0012345)) will link to the IMDb page for a given actor just fine. Don't get me wrong there isn't anything wrong with adding "name" if you want to. But, since you don't have to I just wanted to save you time to let you edit in other areas if you wish. Cheers and keep up the good work that you do here.

Hi, can you take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Turtles/to do, it works fine on it's own but when added to the WPBannerMeta template and used on article talk pages. It causes pages with a TOC to put the TOC in the template. See Talk:Painted_turtle for example. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 14:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
The last edit you made to Template:Barnstar documentation somehow goofed up the signature part, such that it is now displaying your name and timestamp, even with the nowiki tags. I'm not sure how to fix it other than undoing your last edit, so I thought I'd let you know so you can try to figure out how to preserve your most recent changes but correct the issue. Thanks. —Torchiest talkedits 00:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I have this crazy idea, but in reading the code, I'm muttering expletives. I'd like to add a parameter that if activated adds File:Airport Sign.svg at 20px, |alt=|link= after the last shield in the series. That way when the airport is named as a destination on the guide sign with the icon, ((jct)) could display it at the end of the icons. Imzadi 1979 → 05:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
|airport=yes
or |extra=airport
which might be better if further different icons are wanted later on. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
|extra=airport
. --Admrboltz (talk) 19:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)|extra=airport
. It seems the most adaptable for the unforeseen future. –Fredddie™ 23:42, 31 January 2011 (UTC)|extra=airport
. Then we can eventually add train station or other intermodal icon support if needed/desired. Thanks for helping figure this one out! Imzadi 1979 → 06:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I've filed a request for an Isle of Skye pin map and also one for the districts of Highland. Nilfanion however mentioned the wards which have existed since 2007 but these differ from the historical counties. Can you discuss it with Nilfanion which divisional maps we could do with? I just think the Highland region is so large is would be good to have sub locator maps. A window locator will show where in Scotland it is anyway.Blofeld Dr. (talk) 00:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
