Tip of the day...

How to create reusable boilerplates

Pages intended to be reused as portions of other pages are called templates. The names of template pages start with the prefix Template:. A template can be included on another page using the syntax {{Page name}} (including the curly brackets), but leave out the Template: prefix between the curly brackets!

On Wikipedia, templates are created to serve a variety of purposes, such as navigation boxes (e.g. Template:Europe topic), infoboxes (e.g. Template:Infobox person), and notices (e.g. Template:Controversial).

If you wish to make a personal boilerplate (such as a personalized welcome message, or the like), you make it in your own userspace. Simply create the page as a subpage of your userspace (in the format User:Foo/something). To put it onto a page, use the curly brackets as usual, but remember to use the syntax {{User:Foo/something}} rather than {{something}}. This is because the curly-bracket syntax automatically looks in the Template namespace, so if you want to use one from your own userspace, you need to tell it to look there.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jashaun Agosto

Hello Adonnis1569,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Jashaun Agosto for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hello, Adonnis! Thank you for writing an article about Jashaun. I can see that you put a lot of work into it and I want to explain why I have deleted it. He sounds like a remarkable young man, and I feel sure he will be eligible for an article in the future. But Wikipedia has high standards for inclusion here. Sports players at the college level rarely qualify for an article; they mostly have to play in a fully professional league. You can read the standards for basketball players here: Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Basketball. Please continue to contribute to Wikipedia, and maybe someday soon you will be able to write another article about him - or someone else - that meets our guidelines. --MelanieN (talk) 00:58, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
