RfC: Request for new infobox Template for Indian States and Territories[edit]

The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
closing per request at WP:ANRFC. While there is consensus that a new infobox would possibly be appropriate, the general feeling is that one (or a draft of one) should be created before the idea is accepted or proposed again. Mdann52 (talk) 11:44, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should we create new infobox template for the Indian states and territories ? Prymshbmg (talk) 08:53, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template used above is just a sample template, you can suggest thing to be added and refined, in this topic or on my talk page. Please don`t consider the template for expressing your views in the RfC. As it is not complete yet.Prymshbmg (talk) 13:15, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

  1. Firstly, the infobox should replicate all the needed fields and features of ((Infobox state)). A survey of the state and UT pages should show which fields are needed for the Indian pages.
  2. Secondly, any fields that are definitely not needed for Indian states and UT can be removed. For example, unlike the ((Infobox state)) template, the India state and UT template need not support non-metric units.
  3. Thirdly, any fields that are usually needed for Indian state and UT articles can be natively supported by the new template. For example, currently Official Languages are specified in the infobox by defining such a field under the optional demographics fields supported by the template; and the HDI and literacy index by using one of the blank fields (see the Tamil Nadu or Gujarat page in editing mode to see what I am talking about). In the new template, these can be pre-defined options.
  4. New fields to be added: This will require the most thought and discussion. I don't have any concrete proposals right now, but any field whose definition and inclusion criterion is not indisputable should be kept out. So for example we should not have infobox entries for popular sports, dances, music, or even spoken languages (as opposed to official languages) etc all of which are better discussed in the article body.

A new infobox for Indian states and territories here's some of my work, Template: Infobox Indian state or territory

The template is published but not complete yet and my knowledge of wiki markup language is not enough. Please help with your suggestions or please contribute. Tojoroy20 (talk) 12:06, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox for Indian states and Union Territories.[edit]

A proposal, an inbox for Indian states and Union Territories. How about?

There is some work, Template:Infobox Indian state or territory please give a review or contribute.

After a proper development, can it be used as an infobox on Wikipedia pages of Indian states and territories ?

{ I know this template has many mistakes and many tasks are not fulfilled with documentation, my knowledge of wiki markup language ( wikitext ) is not enough, it is inspired by other present templates and infoboxes. Please Help the development of this template by pointing out errors or correcting them . Thank you very much. } Tojoroy20 (talk) 11:56, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at Wikipedia:Content assessment[edit]

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.
