User:Waahlis/On templates

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]].
