Some useful links

The only contributions I intend to make to Wikipedia are those concerning navigational templates. I intend to:

  • Improve the aesthetic quality of existing templates
  • Standardise the style of templates that cover the same broad subject
  • Create templates for topics lacking them and add them to appropriate articles
  • Improve the completeness of template lists on template administration pages
  • Help those attempting to code templates


Navigation templates that need restructuring for aesthetic reasons[edit]

Templates or template groups that need standardising[edit]

  • All university templates
  • Planet spacecraft (already standardised, but require cleanup into NavBox generic)
  • Constellations templates

Complete list of my contributions to template/article namespace[edit]

Bold indicates reversions, modifications or relevant decisions by others
  • Template:Industrial Revolution [1] - replaced dozens of countless redundant piped links with regular wikilinks, and removed a lot of code by replacing the table with a "NavBox generic" box (instead of a locally-coded one)
  • Template:Keyboard keys [3] - reduced the amount of code by replacing with a box similar to "NavBox generic", which is also a lot more pleasing to the eye than the previous design

Various styles for general use[edit]
