WikiFur:Templates/Revision Templates
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
< WikiFur:Templates(Redirected from WikiFur:Boiler Plate Text/Revision Templates)
These templates are for articles that need change or improvement in some way. Of course, you yourself should have a go at revising but if that is not possible, please attach the correct tag so that others can do so.
Template Name | Example | Where to use | |||
{{Cleanup}}
|
|
Place this tag at the top of an article that needs cleanup to match WikiFur's style and format. If possible, use one of the specific tags below, but if more than two are needed, use this tag. | |||
{{Advert}}
|
|
If an article reads like it's an advert for the topic rather than a balanced piece of writing about it, you should use this tag. While it might have been written by an advocate of the article's subject, it still might be worth listing to try rewriting page in to an article about it. | |||
{{Cleanup-context}}
|
|
The introduction section of an article should be understandable to anyone who reads the article, even if they have no background knowledge. Please try to rewrite the opening section to make it easier to understand, even if the rest of the article is technical in language. Place this tag just under the opening section before other sections of the article. | |||
{{Identity}}
|
|
The article does not provide sufficient information for the reader to ascertain the subject's identity (person, character, or fursona). Please try to provide additional information to make the identity clear. | |||
{{Update}}
|
|
Many articles, particularly those featuring living individuals and ongoing events, may require consistent updates to prevent outdated information. This template serves to address the need for ongoing edits to maintain accuracy. | |||
{{Wikify}}
|
|
WikiFur uses a special syntax to format its pages so they are easier to read to editors. It is discouraged to use HTML tags whenever possible, as this can lead to confusion for users who have not written web pages before. It is also slower to edit HTML than wiki syntax. If you find a page mostly written in HTML, please add this tag to the bottom of the page. | |||
{{Cleanup-copyedit}}
|
|
If a page is sound in content but is riddled with typos, grammatical errors, and so forth, apply this tag. Please try running the content through a word processor to help you find mistakes. | |||
{{Unreferenced}}
|
|
You should try to cite what your sources of information are when editing topics. It's not always needed, but in the case of disputes over content, having a source to refer to is very useful. Attach this tag if you see an article that sounds dubious and lacks a source to back it up. If no source is forthcoming, try to find one yourself before contacting an administrator over the possibly untrue content. | |||
{{Unreferenced-section}}
|
|
Attach this tag if you see a specific section of a long, but otherwise acceptable article that sounds dubious and lacks a source to back it up. If no source is forthcoming, try to find one yourself before contacting an administrator over the possibly untrue content. | |||
{{Empty section}}
|
|
To be used when a section is empty, lacking both text and sub-sections, and the section header is not better off simply removed. | |||
{{Fact}}
|
[citation needed] | A citation is needed for this particular sentence(s). | |||
{{Clarify}}
|
[clarify] | Clarification is needed for this particular sentence(s). |
