WikiQueer:WikiProject Inline Templates

Welcome to WikiProject Inline Templates. Some WikiQueerians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving WikiQueer's inline neutrality- & attribution-cleanup, dispute, and footnote templates. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other WikiQueerians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
 * Note that "inline" is used here in the sense of "within text" rather than "directly from another server".

Description

 * A project to centralize the creation and management of inline superscript templates such as Citation needed.

Goals

 * Protect templates from well-meaning reformatting attempts that are known to cause problems in various browsers
 * Develop a "meta-template" from which all of these templates are derived, so that layout problems with them can be fixed in one place
 * Ensure consistency between all of these templates, as to their formatting, naming, content and mouseover (tooltip) messages
 * Provide a talk forum for discussion of problems with the templates, or other needs with regard to them
 * Provide a proposals area for the organized creation of new templates of this sort instead of today's random creation of often redundant inline templates
 * Possibly provide a ITfD mechanism, the way WikiProject Stub sorting has provided the SfD mechanism
 * Actually identify and categorize all of the templates of this sort
 * Ensure that the Template messages documentation is updated with regard to these templates
 * Write a guide to their usage (possibly stand-alone, or possibly as part of the MoS)
 * Improve each template's documentation

Scope

 * Inline superscripted cleanup and dispute templates such as Citation needed and Clarify me
 * Reference citation inline templates such as the Ref and Note family of templates
 * Recommendations on improvements to Cite.php-style reference citation mechanism (, , and  indentation used by 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), in that they match the "-style manually-added general sources in the References section. Recommendation: Have developers modify to not indent, or at worst to match ":"-level indentation, and modify refbegin and refend to conform.

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 WikiQueer talk:WikiProject Inline Templates before creating them, so as to ensure that there is consensus that they are needed and will not unnecessarily overlap in function with others. Once templates have been checked for standard Fix usage, categorization in Category:Inline templates, and other issues, they should be moved to the main list, above.


 * Created:
 * Expand acronym, flag acronyms and abbreviations.
 * romanization needed, an inline template requesting a romanized transliteration or transcription.
 * transliteration needed, a redirect to the template above
 * need-IPA. inline template for requesting IPA renderings.
 * InlineXbeg and InlineXend – created in June 2008, in response to an inline template talk page discussion, here. a pair of templates designed to mark extended passages for attention with only a single tag at the end (avoiding chopping text to pieces).
 * who? – Created by User:Danielfolsom to ostensibly return to original purpose, but dubious difference and a good merge candidate.
 * Linkspam - inline template to flag linkspam. Redirects to Spam link listed below.
 * undue-inline - inline template to flag undue weight issues.
 * speculation-inline - inline variant of speculation
 * External links-inline - inline template to flag external links that may fail WQ:EL or WQ:NOTLINK


 * Discovered:
 * full – requests full citation
 * attribution needed - needs documentation and other WPILTizing
 * editorializing - inline template for WikiQueer:Manual of Style (words to watch)
 * editorializing? - inline template to flag personal interpretation of source
 * registration required - adds a note that registration is required to access the contents of a link.
 * SCICN and SCIRS
 * subscription - adds a note that subscription is required to access the contents of a link.
 * R - a wrapper around &lt;ref name="..." /&gt;
 * née - besides displaying the text,, it includes a link to Married and maiden names.
 * typo - marks an intentional typo. For example, this is used on the Celsius page to show examples of bad formatting of temperatures.
 * pronunciation needed - slightly wordy request for pronunciation info.
 * click-inline
 * archive-inline
 * swatch-inline
 * off-topic-inline
 * self-published inline
 * Spam link
