Me and my brother Sibirian Artjom (named after Sidor's father Artjom) we are the youngest of the four Great grand anserters of Sidor Kovpak. We need help and or life is in danger. My father has made for us a social program this program is of social effort and is the fight to rescue Missing children in the Ukraine in or name! For this we survived assassinations and now we are in a situation that needs attention of all who are involved in Sydor’s vision and heroics acts for the Russian and Ukrainian people. |

Infobox NFL retired
Any idea how to split birth_date to {{Infobox NFL retired}} into birth_date and birth_place? check one to see the problem we have. I think we need to run and change BR to |birth_place inside birth_date. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:25, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, take the value of the birth_data param and then replace br with |birth_place= -- WOSlinker (talk) 11:50, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
The same holds for Infobox military person. [1] I still need to figure out how to do it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Category:Infobox military person using deprecated parameters created. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:49, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Would it be possible to change the code of this template to use Infobox vcard the same way Infobox person does? -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:52, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, probably, will take a look soon. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:13, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Done in Template:Infobox LDS biography/sandbox. Take a look and see if it's all ok. -- WOSlinker (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- It look very good. Let's make it live. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:26, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Done. Thank you very much. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:29, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
The next infobox that needs a similar change is {{Infobox officeholder}}. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- There's a lot more to do with that one. It's quite complicated. I'll probably just start with some tidying up work on that one first. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:18, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
{{Infobox tennis coach}} needs update too. As soon as you update the infoboxes codes, Yobot can do the rest. Now running on Infobox scientist and theologian. I'll be off for a couple of hours and then I'll check your edits to update my to-do list. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:30, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Updated the params but that's all for the moment. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:40, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Completed updating tennis coach and animal. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:43, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
What about Template:Infobox former Grand Prix motorcycle rider? Should we add birth_date to it? -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe. Wouldn't hurt. -- WOSlinker (talk) 06:17, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Now it's clear to me. We just need to merge it with Template:Infobox motorcycle rider. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:40, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Can you see please if you can simplify Template:Infobox pro football player's code by using Infobox? -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:30, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
An editor reverted two of my edits [2] and [3] on standardisation. Need help. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:35, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Infobox writer done. What's next? -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:51, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Added tracking to {{Infobox Chinese-language singer and actor}} and {{Infobox officeholder}}. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- It seems that Category:Infobox person using deprecated location parameter needs to be taken care too. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:35, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Did them -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:35, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

- I have added it. -- WOSlinker (talk) 10:36, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Have added tracking to {{Infobox NFL player}} & {{Infobox NFL retired}}. About 9000 articles to update. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Template:Redirect
Would you please provide some insight here? 93.125.198.182 (talk) 18:30, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi WOSlinker. I see you have done edits to the template recently. I asked MSGJ a while ago about converting the {{hurricane}} project banner to WPBannerMeta. (We held out since we tend to implement custom features, but maintenance time for the template comes at a premium now.) I was trying to get that conversion working, but there were a few things that blocked me from doing the switch.
In particular, I couldn't get Category:Tropical cyclone articles with incomplete B-Class checklists to work for assessments with incomplete B-Class checklists. We also have slightly different formatting for the comments section (to match {{To do}}'s "coffee roll" talk page format) and B-Class checklists. What changes do I need to do to the sandbox to implement those features? Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 00:47, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- I've added the Category checklists but theres still a bit of work to do on changing the comments section colour as it will need some changes doing to the comments code. -- WOSlinker (talk) 06:54, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Comments background colour is now done as well. So ready to implement if you want to. -- WOSlinker (talk) 17:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Looks great. The only other thing I would add is to add a {{{style}}} parameter to {{WPBannerMeta/comments}} so I could add border: 1px dotted black; to the comments box (or alternatively, just create a {{{border}}} parameter). But that is minor cosmetic stuff, and I would give a go-ahead to implementation. (I would do it but I'm not sure if everything that needs to be done is just removing "/Sandbox" from the places where it is included in the template, or if there is more to it than that.) Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 21:33, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Added style & made the banner live. Just looking at some of the pages with comments, and some just have is a link to a separate assessment page. e.g. Talk:Hurricane Katrina. Would a separate parameter called assessment_page which showed the link be better for those rather than a comment? Would also only show up on the Tropical cyclone banner then rather than most of them then if that was the case -- WOSlinker (talk) 21:47, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- We sort of already have an assessed= parameter that did that (or an #ifexist checking for Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Assessment/BASEPAGENAME), but if we have an assessment-page parameter that would be more flexible. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 21:57, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- I've added the param. I'll delete the comments pages that just have a link to the assessment page as it's just a duplication. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:06, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Sure. Those are from way back before WP:WVWP used the 1.0 bot to populate assessment tables, so nothing will probably be harmed. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 22:08, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 21:33, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- One thing I have noticed is that the new template did not properly populate Category:Unsorted tropical cyclone articles. I played around with the banner a little bit and got it to remove some of the entries in the category (namely, those that are already sorted into one of the three primary task forces), but I haven't been able to figure out how to filter out non-article pages (such as templates, categories, redirects and disambiguation pages) from being added to that category. How would I go about fixing that? Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 10:43, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- All sorted now. -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:53, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- Comments background colour is now done as well. So ready to implement if you want to. -- WOSlinker (talk) 17:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Please explain the reason for such edits
Could you please explain why you remove unused parameter from infoboxes, like in this edit. As long as it is there, it is easy for editors to add the information. Debresser (talk) 22:00, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, bands do not have a birth or death date. Infobox musical artist is used for both individuals and groups which is why those parameters exist but are not appropriate for bands which is why I'm removing them. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- Logical. Good luck. Debresser (talk) 22:20, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Infobox musical artist
I updated transclusions of {{Infobox musical}} artist to use lowercase parameters but I will need a tracking category to check if I missed something. We only left with the Born/Died problem. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- See Category:Articles using Infobox musical artist with deprecated parameters (uppercase) -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:13, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- A lot of them seem to be the "Landscape" parameter. Do you want that tracked? -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:00, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- It would be good to remove "Landscape" from all infoboxes with no image as a start and then all that have a value other than yes and see what's left. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:21, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Started doing the first case. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:37, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- You could also remove all those where it is not Landscape=yes. Another tracking category for those: Category:Articles using Infobox musical artist with deprecated parameters (landscape) -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Done both. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- You could also remove all those where it is not Landscape=yes. Another tracking category for those: Category:Articles using Infobox musical artist with deprecated parameters (landscape) -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Could you change this to use Infobox class? I tired but I not sure how |era=
works. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- era was changed to period in 2008 but the docs weren't changed. I'll have a look at changing it to use the infobox template soon. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:01, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- I guess we can just remove it then. The infoboxes sill use "era" but nobody complained of not showing anything. Moreover, in the aboveclass it should be the name instead of the notability. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Converted. There are some infoboxes with invalid parameters though. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Image placeholders
To reduce the problem with the image placeholders , a good idea would be to first add infoboxes to pages with Medaltemplates like I did here. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:46, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Moving of my templates
honestly, that was a good call on your part, my mistake, good to see sharp Wikipedians such as yourself are still there :) Magister Scientatalk (1 August 2011)
Template:Jct type
By request at WP:USRD/S/R, I made a new shield and banner for the Illinois GRR-Spur type. (see here) Now I'm stuck trying to get the banner working for the type. It should appear like I coded it on the request page. It would be greatly appreciated if you could look at it sometime. Thanks in advance. –Fredddie™ 03:16, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- I see that you had done most of the work. It's quite a maze those templates. Anyway, I did this (and also to plate/2 3 and 4) and it's now working. -- WOSlinker (talk) 07:14, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Salary and net worth of dead people
I think e should remove these fields from infoboxes of dead people. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Could build something into the infobox code so that if death_date is set, it won't show those two items. Or would you prefer to just do a tracking category? -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:50, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Tracking is better. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:38, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Added tracking here. Sometimes still seems worth showning the values though, see William Remington for example. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:38, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I agree. Let's see what we have there. Maybe it was a false alarm. Btw, check also Template_talk:Infobox_member_of_the_Knesset#Changes_per_Infobox_person_for_consistency_part_2.-- Magioladitis (talk) 22:58, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
