Refactoring
[edit]- Make Template:fac and Template:fac-contested look nice like Template:featured.

- {{subst:toolong|ArticleName}} for when discussion gets huge
- Can the category and translations go in the footer template?
- Parameterized subst template for new VfD listing (pending subst: bug fix)
- Add {{fac-contested}} to all articles listed on (low priority, bot work)
Questions for Wikipedia:Help Desk
[edit]- Discussions for deletion -- guidelines on how to be brief?
- Admin tools, are there enough of them?
- Is there a discussion about hotlinking to wikipedia, and whether this is a bad thing?
- Is there a consensus on template and category redirects and whether they're generally a bad thing, and how to stomp them out if they are?
- Is there a central place for bots to hang out?
- Is there a bot or query or something to:
Find spelling errors?SpellBotChange "See Also" and "External Links" to "See also" and "External links"?Some efforts have been made- Standardize where the following appears on the page (top or bottom):
- disambig
- category
- language translations
- stub
- leading and trailing newlines
- Find mismatched talk redirects? (e.g., Talk:Gaia redirected to Talk:Gaia (mythology) but Gaia did not redirect Gaia (mythology))
- Find pages with "(redirect page)" in their title (if any exist)?
- Are these bugs?
- Image having to be uploaded twice? (Or this a cache issue)
- Parameterize templates only work in Template namespace? Do they?
Questions for Wikipedia:Reference Desk
[edit]- How to explain the videotaping monitors effect?
- Approval voting in the U.S. system?
- "Certified Business Location" for Virginia cities?
- Americans prefer tall presidents?
