MAG:Templates

Templates are an important part of any good wiki. They help tag, categorize, identify, stylize and format articles, and improve code readability and clarity, and generally make life easier for everybody.

To that end, I'd like to focus efforts here on creating and maintaining a set of templates for maemowiki.

Tasks

  • Develop guidelines for the creation, categorization, style and format of new templates.
    • Ensure existing templates comply with these guidelines.
  • Figure out what templates we need (this is a very fluid task that will likely never be completed).
  • Create those templates.

Open/Closed table, justification, and petition templates

We need to put together templates for the open/closed-source plan outlined in the Increasing transparency page.

  • We need templates for:
    • Individual packages (or package sets, as, say, alarmd and alarmtool can probably both be filed under alarmd), their source-state and (if closed) justification for that state.
      • Should these templates be set up as "justification tables" to be inserted into larger articles or as individual articles?
    • Petition templates for requesting that a closed package be opened.

Standard Wikipedia template set

  • Equivalent to "This article has poor language/grammar, please help fixing it."--qgil 07:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
