Naming convention for WikiProject templates

Seems like we ought to establish a naming convention for WikiProject templates so they can be easily recognized, and to help with organization. Thoughts? --Tetraminoe 23:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Future article talk page

I've recently been encouraged to move the template User:BigNate37/TM/Future article talk page out of userspace (and thus into template space). It is currently in use on three talk namespace pages. Opinions are appreciated before I make the move and list it on WP:TM/TALK. BigNate37_(T) 05:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Editors who upkeep an article

I know theres a template for talk pages that alerts users to a a specific user who is very involved in the upkeep of a specific article. I cant seem to find it here. Thanks, -Reuvenk_[T][C] 22:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Wouldn't that violate WP:OWN? Any such template seems like it would be deleted rather swiftly. --tjstrf 04:19, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the template you're referring to is {{Maintained}}? -- Longhair 05:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe I'm just being a nitpick but...

It would be nice if there were smaller versions of these banners available. Some pages, like this one Talk:Demosthenes and this one Talk:ADHD have several banners, one on top of the others. It looks kind of messy. It would be nice if there could be smaller, more compact versions in addition to the ones already available. What do y'all think?--*Kat* 07:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC) Here are some examples of what I would like us to see more of:

<table style="border: 2px solid #FFC125; background: #FEF1B5; margin: .5em .5em .5em .5em; padding: 5px; float: left"

<table style="border: 2px solid #FFC125; background: #FEF1B5; margin: .5em .5em .5em .5em; padding: 5px; float: left"

This article is a current featured article candidate. A featured article should exemplify Wikipedia's very best work, and is therefore expected to meet several criteria. Please feel free to leave comments.

<table style="border: 2px solid #FFC125; background: #FEF1B5; margin: .5em .5em .5em .5em; padding: 3px; float: left"

Good idea. I'd say go bold and multiply. Don't worry about overusing the template namespace. If these don't get support, you can have them speedy deleted as their author. Just one suggestion, give them names, similar to the ones they duplicate so that they appear beside them in category listings. --Swift 20:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Added {{OOCOT}} and {{OOCOB}}

A modification of the {{archive top}}/{{archive bottom}} used to help keep conversations organized when editors post out of chronological order. In fact that's the abbreviation: Out Of Chronological Order Top and Out Of Chronological Order Bottom. Anynobody 00:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

New page for WikiProject banners

Would anyone object to me moving all these WikiProject banners to a new page? There's so many, they need their own page. I would also be adding more (going for all of them). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocket000 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 Done — Since they were talking up the overwhelming majority of the page, I move them to Wikipedia:Template_messages/WikiProject_notices and created the necessary links. Cheers :) --slakr^\ talk / 12:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
