/template:wikipages

This page tracks specific projects, long running, organized efforts to improve the wiki.

Badges & Userboxes

Badges, inspired by [1]. First implemented locally as WikiWG/badge. Also, more generally, Userboxes.

Draft idea categories

Category:Badges
Category:Headerbox
Category:Userbox
Category:Usergroups
template:usergroups

Templates

Creating, maintaining (updating), & educating about templates available & how to use them. For easily signaling participation in one of the space's activities.

Category:Templates

template:usergroups <== {{usergroups}}

Meta

template:linkshere <- {{linkshere}}
template:subpages <- {{subpages}}

Non-duplication

{{:discord_link}} -> Template:Discord_link#Usage

Headerboxes

Tree hierarchy of template:home, for navigation.

Styling hierarchy for that tree layering template:boxes.

Wiki/Projects#Headerbox template links

... V · T · E

Use the mnemonic View · Talk page · Edit, in the template, referring to the template's page itself. See the wp:Template:Hackerspace template box on Wikipedia for use of this Template box idiom on Wikipedia where it's well-established, after being arrived at though extensive experimentation and modification. It's an idiom, but a standard one. wp:WP:Navigation_template#Types

Matching wikipedia's Navbox templates

|| <small>[[:Template:About|V]] · [[:Template_Talk:About|T]] · [[Special:EditPage/Template:About|E]]</small>

  • ||: moves the rest of the line to the right
  • <small>: de-biggens
  • [[:Template:About|V]]: "[V]iew" mnemonic, nice for mouseover, or click to visit and see other users of template
  • · : special character used as separator, between 1/2 and paragraph-S-mark, in edit footer, mw:extension:charinsert & on wiki settings for MediaWiki:EditTools
  • [[:Template_Talk:About|T]]: talk page, for discussions in context, capturing design wishes & thoughts, at time of use
  • [[Special:EditPage/Template:About|E]]: edit link functioning with on-wiki links. Cribbed knowledge of the MediaWiki function from wikipedia's use

Template Gateways

e.g. {{t}}, {{t/div}}, {{t/div/use}} so editors can type a short easy to remember template, hit preview, and get help on page for how to proceed further in more specific use. Similar in spirit, analogous, to the or , but with render preview during edit instead of mouseover during browse. Fast feedback loops.

Template:t {{t}}: This is the root page, of a collection of pages, as mw:help:subpages for easy, convenient use while editing. Include {{t/[subpage]}} to include reference instructional text in the page preview, Ctrl-Shift-p, while using source editing of wikitext.

Special:PrefixIndex/Template:T/:


Trying to use these for styling, but also for date labeling Template:asof Category:asof/2025.

Semantic-styled & -colored template wrappers

From Wiki/Ontology#Styling_Proposal:_Boxes_&_Colors, let's implement these.

I want to embed these into the Template:T hierarchy linked in #Template Gateways
