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]].
