Inline Templates

The following inline templates were taken from a list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Inline Templates.

^‡‡ = Has a non-superscripted mode as well.

^‡‡‡ = Only part of it is inline.

Superscripted

• {{citequote}}
• {{clarifyme}} a.k.a. {{huh}}, {{what}}, {{unclear}}
• {{cnote}}
• {{cref}}
• {{dead link}} a.k.a. {{cleanup-link}}
• {{disputed-inline}}, a.k.a. {{disputable}}, {{debatable}}
• {{dubious}} a.k.a. {{DisputedAssertion}}
• {{ent}}^‡
• {{episode}}
• {{fact}} a.k.a. {{citation needed}}, {{cn}}, {{needs citation}}, {{uncited}}, {{fct}}, etc.; see also {{fact-now}} wrapper
• {{facts}}
• {{failed verification}}
• {{fixPOV}}
• {{hcref}}
• {{issue}}
• {{list fact}}
• {{lopsided}}
• {{nonspecific}}
• {{note}}
• {{note label}}^‡
• {{or}} — not to be confused with {{OR}}, a page-top template
• {{page number}}
• {{POV-assertion}}
• {{POV-statement}}
• {{ref}}
• {{ref harv}}
• {{ref label}}^‡ a.k.a. {{footnote label}}
• {{request quote}}

• {{vague}}
• {{verify credibility}} a.k.a. {{vc}}

• {{views needing attribution}} a.k.a. {{weasel word}}
• {{weasel-inline}} a.k.a. {{weal}}
• {{weasel-name}}
• {{who}}
• {{year}}

Meta-templates:

• {{fix}}‡ — used to create other such templates, consistently
• {{inline warning}} — used manually to provide a custom cleanup note

Deprecated:

• {{ref num}}
• {{footnote}}
• {{dlw}} (redundant with and being merged into {{wayback}})
• {{dlw-inline}} (redundant with and being merged into {{dead link}})

Noteworthy for features:

• {{vague}} — has feature where optional parameter becomes the mouseover/tooltip message

Needed:

• {{daymonth}} (for missing day, e.g. November 2006 when not appropriate), to go along with {{fulldate}} and {{year}} ({{date}} and {{day}} already used for something else)
• {{seasonneeded}} to go along with {{episode}} ({{season}} already used for something else)
• {{volumeneeded}} to go along with {{issue}} ({{volume}} already used for something else)

Related software functions that aren't templates

• <ref ...>...</ref>
• <ref ... />
• <references />

Non-superscripted

• {{ref harvard}}
• {{wikiref}}, {{wikicite}}
• {{wayback}}, {{waybackdate}} (appear to be redundant with each other)
• {{TBD}}

Similar but out-of-scope (for now?)

A number of templates are, technically, used inline, but for purposes very different from those that concern this project (at present).

• {{tl}}, {{tlx}}, {{cl}}, {{ul}}, etc.
• {{sort}}, {{sortkey}}, {{nts}}, {{TBA}}, etc.
• {{day}}, {{cuegloss}}, DAB and other hatnote templates, seealso/further/main/catmore/etc., and others that are technically "inline" but don't have anything to do with maintenance or sources, and are not superscripted.
• {{inote}}
• {{sectstub}}^‡ (recently converted to inline style, but not actually used inline)
• {{Hcard-bday}}, {{Hcard-geo}}, {{Hcard-geo-title}}^‡‡‡ (a.k.a. {{Coord named}}) - are technically inline or part-inline, but do not serve a functions similar to the templates this project is concerned about.
• {{Cite}} family of ref. citation formatting templates

Problematic ones

• {{old fact}} redundant with {{update after}}; Merge discussion opened
• {{cref}}, {{hcref}}, {{cnote}}^‡ — ugly/weird format looks like nothing else on WP; mouseover function of {{hcref}} appears to be broken, at least in Safari
• {{request quote}} — unbelievably longwinded (the "don't linebreak these templates" maxim falls apart here); the bulk of it needs to go into a tooltip)
• {{cleanup-link}} — unbelievably longwinded; the bulk of it needs to go into a tooltip)
• {{rf}}, {{ent}}^‡ — do not match the formatting of other footnotes (no brackets); both totally undocumented
• {{issue}} — scope too narrow; should apply to any periodical
• {{comic book reference}} — may have a stray period-space in it near end (flagged with HTML comment; needs testing)
• {{who}}, {{who?}}, {{WW}}, {{weasel-inline}}, {{weasel-name}}, {{views needing attribution}}, and userspaced variant {{User:Xiaphias/who}} may need to be merged; discussion here
• <references /> — indents for no reason, and worse yet indents to a depth that does not align with :* indentation for {{note label}} references. There are a pair of templates, {{refbegin}} and {{refend}}, related to {{reflist}}, which solve this misalignment problem, to an extent (see "Option 3..." at Template:Refbegin documentation for usage), to an extent, in that they match the <references /> indentation. They are untested with {{note label}}, but work fine with "* Reference details here"-style manually-added general sources in the References section. Recommendation: Have developers modify <references /> to not indent, or at worst to match ":"-level indentation, and modify {{refbegin}} and {{refend}} to conform.
• {{rs}} needs to be merged with {{verify credibility}}; both merge-tagged, and discussion here.
• The confusingly named {{disputable}} needs to merge into {{dubious}}; both are merge tagged, with discussion here.

New inline templates

Please feel free to list new inline templates here (newest at the top, please). It is advisable to propose new inline templates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Inline Templates before creating them, so as to ensure that there is consensus that they are needed and will not unneccessarily overlap in function with others.

Created

• {{old fact}} — Created in July 2007, weirdly as a redirect to {{update after}} and then forked into a new, redundant template. Merge discussion opened.
• {{fulldate}} — Created by Dl2000 after noticing this request in the Needed: section here; to be used when missing entire date
• {{WW}} — Created by hbdragon88 who did not know about {{weasel-inline}} at the time; merge being discussed.
• {{who?}} — Created by User:Danielfolsom to ostensibly return to original purpose, but dubious difference and a good merge candidate.
• {{rs}} — Created by Kingboyk to serve similar function to {{verify credibility}}

Discovered

• {{click-inline}}
• {{archive-inline}}
• {{swatch-inline}}
• {{importance-inline}}
• {{fix-inline}}
• {{Coord/display/inline}} — one of several subroutines of {{Coord}}
• {{ambiguous link}} a.k.a. {{dn}}
• {{Off-topic-inline}}
• {{Anachronism-inline}}
• {{Chinese-inline}} - Use this template to show a Chinese name, word, term or phrase in a line of text with various readings.
• {{Off-topic-inline}}
