| − | ==NFL Templates== | + | == Thoughts on clarifying some username policies. == |
| − | Thanks for making those NFL Templates. I noticed some of them weren't being used in the articles, so I inserted them. I hope you continue making those templates. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 16:29, 8 February 2008 (EST)
| |
| − | :Ahh, thank you, yeah there was a question of what namespace they should go in for a while - but I think it's pretty much been resolved that the template namespace is adequate; and I certainly do plan on continuing soon! Thanks for putting them in consistently (I like the fact that you put it in its own section - that makes it a lot more clear and it also makes the pages nicer)--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 16:31, 8 February 2008 (EST)
| |
| − | :: Those templates were originally in template namespace, and I suggested (months ago) that they shouldn't be. My reasons were as follows:
| |
| − | ::* If they are only used on one page, there's little point in making templates for them.
| |
| − | ::* Current policy is for templates to be locked, so if the roster changes (as I expect would happen reasonably often) then a sysop needs to change (or at least unlock) them.
| |
| − | ::* If you don't want complex tables cluttering up the article, then they could be put into a sub-page and linked into the article as a template.
| |
| − | :: Now, if something has changed, such as them now being used on multiple pages, then that changes things, but otherwise I think they should not be in template namespace. I've not seen any other discussion on this, so if there is one somewhere, and particularly if it mentions factors that I haven't considered, could you point me to it please? I'm not laying this down as law, but I think it's pertinent to consider.

| |
| − | :::The only reason I said I thought they should be in the template namespace is because when I started transferring them to the mainspace others started telling me to stop ... I mean frankly I'm fine with you moving them, I'll even go back and fix all the links - because I actually believe that they should be in the mainspace (since they're only being used on one page) - but ultimately it's your call - just give me the heads up whatever you decide and I'll go in and change the links.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 10:20, 9 February 2008 (EST)

| |
| − | The comment was sometime back - another sysop ultimately stopped my attempt to move the tables from the templatespace to the mainspace for that very reason; but again if you delete those templates (or move them depending on what's necessary), then I can fix all the links--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:32, 11 February 2008 (EST)
| |
| − | : (Iduan advised by e-mail that the sysop is no longer with us, and the conversation was off Conservapedia). The only references to where templates should be that I can find are:
| |
| − | :* [[Help:Creating templates]] says that " templates are ''normally'' created in the "Template" namespace" (my emphasis). I would consider this to be the nearest thing to a directive on the matter, and it clearly allows for exceptions.
| |
| − | :* [[Help:How to create a new article#Templates]] says to "Precede the name with the word "template" and a colon." However, I consider this to be a "how to" rather than a "must do", so it doesn't count.
| |
| − | :* For what it's worth, [[User talk:Philip J. Rayment/Archive 4#Templates]] is a brief conversation I had some time back with Tash on this very subject.
| |
| − | : So I'm not making policy here, but I'm saying that there's apparently no policy preventing a template being in a sub-page, and whilst we might not like that idea normally, this seems to me a pretty clear case of it being appropriate.
| |
| − | : Please list the templates to be moved on [[User:Philip J. Rayment/Article renaming project|this page]], and you can also mark there when the links are fixed up.

Just so everyone knows what I sent/to clarify: Username policy is that you use your first name and last initial; you might see a few users who don't fit under that policy (Conservative, Karajou - even I use the opposite (although your first initial last name would also be okay)), but that is because those users predate the policy.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 18:11, 19 February 2014 (EST) |

| |
| − | | |
| − | Sorry if i missed this in the [[Conservapedia:Manual of Style|MOS]], but is there a preference to have singular or plural article names? I found the [[Optic lobes]] article (plural title) and created [[Optic lobe]] with a redirect to it. I wasn't sure if what I did was ok, or if the singular title should redirect to the plural title, or if both are acceptable.--[[User:Recorder|Recorder]] 11:49, 11 February 2008 (EST)
