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, Aesthetics 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.

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]]

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]].
