Hello everyone! On this page, I'll list the appropriate categorisation and nomenclature of templates, thus hoping to establish a easy, logical and transparent system.

Categorisation

General

  • Countable template categories shall be in plural. Abstraction categories, e.g. Functionality, use their basic form.
  • All templates shall have the category [[Category:Templates]].
  • Experimental templates shall have only one category: [[Category:Experimental]] and use the Template:Experimental.
  • Most templates hould be documented, with the {{documentation}} template.

Specific

  • When creating templates, known as page headers, or simply headers, use [[Category:Headers]].
  • Please remember that the Template:Bluepagehead is redundant, instead use Template:Header.
  • Templates related to archiving, receive the [[Category:Archiving]].
  • Templates related to the Linguifex:Featured language receive the [[Category:Featured]]
  • Templates imported from Wikipedia receive the [[Category:Wikipedia]].
  • Templates needing special attention', stubs, poorly written articles et cetera, get [[Category:Improvement]]
  • Related to the Contionary get: [[Category:Contionary templates]]
  • Documentation templates shall only have these categories: [[Category:Templates]] and [[Category:Documentation]] as well as categories of the parent page.

Language templates

  • Templates that are specifically designed for your language go to [[Category:Language name templates]]

Other

[[Category:Lacking documentation]] [[[Documentation lacking article]] - My favourite... :P

Nomenclature

Templates

  • Variations of a template, or subpages, should be named [[Template:Template name/Subpage name]].
