Wikipedia talk:Template index/User talk namespace

Suggested new template

I strongly suggest making a template to warn against adding people or events without their own Wikipedia articles to day of the year articles. This is a very strict rule that prevents the pages from being clogged with non-notable events, and I spend about half my time as a pending changes reviewer undoing such edits. I don't know how to make such templates, so if someone would like to make it, give me instructions on how to make it, or else provide feedback in any way, I would appreciate it. Thanks. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 13:20, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

I believe you are looking for {{uw-badlistentry}} MarginalCost (talk) 13:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 17:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

New template: uw-hxblock

I have created a new draft template that is used to remind Wikipedia users that they are blocked for creating, maintaining or restoring hoaxes as this behaviour is forbidden. The draft template is called Draft:Template:Uw-hxblock. Thanks! 122.108.183.105 (talk) 20:49, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Proposal

Hello. This is Wyatt2049, and I am making a proposal. What I was thinking is that some of the more common template uses should be changed slightly. I think that the Icons should have a slight colour change for some of the templates. I have made a list of that those should be. LIST. I think that this would be a good Idea because this could help disifer different warnings if you have multiple types on your user page. Please let me know about my proposal, and if it is a good Idea. I would be happy to do all of the work to change it, except for template protected, which I cannot edit. I could request an edit for those. Thanks. --Wyatt2049 | (talk) 12:52, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

I have made a draft. Draft:Template Proposal. It is not yet complete, as I am in school. I will be able to start in an hour. --Wyatt2049 | (talk) 13:50, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the added value is here - I get that it distinguishes between the types of warning, but I feel like having lots of colors on the page would be distracting rather than useful, and I don't see people memorizing the meanings of the different colors. More importantly, the blue-yellow-orange-red progression is, at least to me, a normal progression from less to more important warnings (though I suspect that this might be at least partly a cultural thing) creffett (talk) 00:51, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

New template: uw-usertalk

Hi all, I've created a new user warning template, Template:Uw-usertalk for when people use their talk page for non-talk-page things. It's based on one of User:Drm310's warnings. Feedback welcome and appreciated. creffett (talk) 00:47, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
