Made a first attempt at organizing them here. --barto (talk) (contribs) 14:20, 14 November 2017 (EST)
Possible improvements:
- Expand the scope of
{{IncomingLinks}}
to all pages with wrong incoming links. - Clarify the scope of
{{WIP}}
: should it mean that it is incomplete in a severe way, e.g. only half of a definition? Or{{inuse}}
? - Clarify
{{stub}}
, difference with{{WIP}}
if any, perhaps disuse because it carries the meaning of "too short", while short is our standard. - More meaningful names for
{{improve}}
and{{rewrite}}
, e.g.{{inelegant}}
or{{improve argument}}
resp.{{improve style}}
. - Merge
{{duplicate}}
with{{mergeto}}
? - Perhaps discourage using
{{tidy}}
and{{work to do}}
, something more specific instead. - More meaningful name for
{{help}}
, e.g.{{expert needed}}
Not exhaustive. --barto (talk) (contribs) 14:54, 14 November 2017 (EST)
- Eliminated
{{WIP}}
. Stub and wtd should do the job. — Lord_Farin (talk) 17:19, 15 November 2017 (EST)
Design
{{MaintenanceTemplate}}
has been expanded, having been renamed from Ambox
as suggested.
Also suggested: style can be improved, and can be simplified by requiring that the image always be passed in from the calling template. No need for a case statement, that adds unnecessary maintenance burden.
Work in progress. --prime mover (talk) 11:33, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
