WikiFur:Templates/All Templates

This is a complete listing of all templates on the site. If you make a new template please list it here under the correct page listed on WikiFur:Templates, and it should appear here shortly.

General Templates

This is a list of general templates that may be used where needed on any page.

Template Name	Example	Where to use
{{disambig}} Disambiguation	---- This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists pages that might otherwise share the same title. If an article link referred you here, you might want to go back and fix it to point directly to the intended page.	This template is to be put on any disambiguation pages after the list of alternate pages to remind users to update their links where needed.
{{spoiler}} Spoiler	Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.	This template is to be put directly before any content in an article which would spoil the enjoyment of those who have not yet read or viewed the item being written about. Any content above a spoiler warning should inform without giving away the details listed below the spoiler line.
{{wrongtitle|title=Correct Title}} Wrong Title	The title of this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is Correct Title.	Due to technical limitations of the MediaWiki software, some titles are not allowed by the system. Instead, give the article a suitable name. For example, for an article about #furry, call it Furry (chat channel) and apply this title with the correct title inserted. Also use the correct title when refering to the item within its own article or on other articles.
{{lowercase}} Wrong Title		For use instead of Template:wrongtitle when only the first letter needs to be lowercase. Works regardless of the namespace. Does not change the real title of the article, so linking still works.
{{Wikipedia|Article Title}} Wikipedia Quotation		This template is to be put at the bottom of any page which contains quoted text from Wikipedia. Replace Article Title in the template code with the name of the article on Wikipedia that was quoted from.
{{Wikipedia deleted|Article Title|Page history}} Wikipedia Quotation (deleted/redirected article)		This template is to be put at the bottom of any page which contains quoted text from Wikipedia, where the original page has been deleted (and perhaps subsequently redirected). Replace Article Title in the template code with the name of the article on Wikipedia that was quoted from. If the history is not publicly available at Wikipedia, replace Page history with the name of a page with a copy of the deleted page's history, such as Article Title/Wikipedia page history. A Wikipedia administrator can give you this information.
{{Current}} Current On-going Event	This article contains information about a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.	This template is to be put near to the top of any page which contains information about something that is currently happening and has information which may be changing very quickly. A Furry example for the use of this would be articles about Furry Conventions as they happening.
{{Contributor|Username}} Contributor	This person is a WikiFur user: Username's user page Username's talk page	This template should be placed at the bottom of articles which are about people who are also editors and contributors to Wikifur. The field should be the username of the editor. (No 'User:' is needed.) Also, to link back from the user page, please place the ContributorU template on the editor's user page. It is listed here.
{{to do}} To do list	Pending tasks for Templates/All Templates: edit - history - watch - purge	This template is intended to be placed on various pages (such as talk pages, WikiProject pages, user pages...), where a brief list of what needs to be done would be helpful. Note that this template (copy-pasted from Wikipedia) has only recently been added to WikiFur, and as such may be slightly buggy, and the template may be tweaked or changed in the near future to adapt it to WikiFur.

Deletion Templates

To suggest pages or files for deletion, please use the following templates.

Template Name	Example	Where to use
{{Delete}} Delete		To suggest deletion of an article, page, or file. Reason should be stated in edit summary (edit history) or on the talk page of the item.
{{SpeedyDelete}} Speedy Deletion	This page is a candidate for speedy deletion. If you disagree with its speedy deletion, please explain why on its talk page or at WikiFur:Speedy deletion. If this page obviously does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from an article that you have created yourself. Colleagues - Remember to check if anything links here and the page history (last edit) before deleting.	This template marks an article for speedy deletion. Place this at the top of the page. Warning: It's not usually a good idea to list articles with content as needing deleting. Consider revising. Contact a curator if you are unsure.

Warnings

The following are warning templates to be applied by curators to a user's page. If a curator has placed one of these on a user's page, the user should NOT remove it. Similarly, non-curators should not put these on other users' pages.

Template Name	Example	Where to use
{{Dontvandalize}} Don't Vandalize	You have vandalized or made non-serious edits to this wiki. Please stop. Vandalism is reverted immediately upon being discovered. We normally welcome anyone to edit, but if you continue to vandalize you will be blocked from editing.

{{Dontvandalize2}} Don't Vandalize 2	Please stop the vandalism. You will be blocked from editing if you continue to vandalize WikiFur.	This template is placed by curators on a user's talk page as a warning to stop vandalizing the wiki. It is used in more serious cases of vandalism. It may be removed by anyone, but it is recorded elsewhere that the vandalism took place.
{{BlockedUser|1 day|looking at me funny}} Blocked User	This user has been blocked from editing WikiFur 1 day for looking at me funny.	This template is placed by curators on a user's page or talk page when they have been blocked from editing pages. It will state how long the block is for and why it was given.

{{User RC Patrol}} User RC Patrol	This user patrols the recent changes.	This template is used to indicate wikifurries who patrol the recent changes for vandalism.

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}} General 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}} Reads like an 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}} Lacking 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}} Identity is unclear		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}} 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}} 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}} Copyediting Needed		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}} References needed		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}} References needed for a specific 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}} Empty section	This section is empty. You can help by adding to it.	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).

Protection Templates

These templates are for use by curators on pages when they are locked for protection. Please contact an curator if you feel a page needs protection.

Template Name	Example	Where to use
{{Protected-Vandal}} Vandal Protection	This page has been locked because of ongoing vandalism. This page will be unlocked when a curator deems it safe to do so. Until the vandalism has abated, you may discuss its contents on the article's discussion page. At this time, only colleagues can edit and/or unlock this page.	This tag will be used when a page has been subject to Vandalism and needs protecting for its own safety. It will eventually be removed when interest in the page has lowered.
{{Protected-Dispute}} Dispute Protection	This article has been locked due to a dispute over the content. Until the dispute has been resolved, please discuss its contents on the article's discussion page. At this time, only colleagues can edit and/or unlock this page.	This tag will be used when a page covers a subject that is highly disputed, and agreement has not yet been reached, leading to edit wars. Once agreement over its content is approved, the page will be unlocked.
{{Protected-WikiFur Central}} Listed on the WikiFur Central page	This page has been locked since it is currently on WikiFur Central. You may talk about its contents on the discussion page. At this time, only colleagues can edit and/or unlock this page.	Pages listed on the WikiFur Central page as featured articles are often subject to vandalism since many people will end up seeing them. This tag will be placed on pages while they are listed to ensure they remain safe during their time on show. It and the protection will be removed after being taken down from WikiFur Central.
{{Protected-System}} System Pages	This article has been protected since it contains important information. You may talk about its contents on the discussion page. The content of this page should not be changed except by colleagues.	Pages marked with this tag contain important information about the wiki and are most likely going to be locked perminantly. In some places where it would be inappropriate to put this tag on the page itself, (like the Main Page) it will be placed on the article's talk page instead.
{{Protected-Excluded}} Excluded people	This article left blank by request. The subject of this article has contacted WikiFur and asked not to be included. To respect their privacy, we have blanked and protected this page. If you are the subject and wish to be unexcluded, please contact a curator.	This tag is for pages about people who have decided that they do not wish to be included in WikiFur, and the pages have been blanked and protected.

Warning Templates

These templates are for placing a warning. If you feel there is something wrong regarding either the point of view or the accuracy of an article, you may use these templates. You can also use the third template after the disputes are resolved.

Template Name	Example	Where to use
{{NPOV}} Neutral Point Of View		Place this tag near the top of an article if you think it is, overall, giving a biased view of the subject. Articles should try to list both good and bad aspects of their subjects and reflect many points of view while not having one itself.
{{Dubious}} Dubious Statement		Place this tag near a statement in an entry that is of dubious accuracy. Explain why on the talk page. If the article as a whole is of dubious accuracy, use the Disputed Content template instead.
{{Disputed}} Disputed Content		Place this tag near the top of an article if you think the truth of an article's content is disputed. If the true facts are not known and something is 'rumor', they need to be clearly labeled so this tag is not required. Use this only if rumor is presented as fact.
{{Controversial}} Controversial		Place this tag at the bottom of an article if the article contains some controversial subjects and might spark fights over its content, despite the fact that disputes have already happened and have been resolved.
{{Inappropriate}} Inappropriate content		Place this tag near the top of an article if you think that it may not be appropriate for it to be on WikiFur in its current state or at all. Reasons can include nonrelevance to furry in general, personal essays or general non-encyclopedic content. Explain why on the talk page.
{{Inappropriate-section}} Inappropriate section content		Place this tag on the section of the article if you think that it may not be appropriate for it to be on WikiFur in its current state or at all. Reasons can include nonrelevance to furry in general, personal essays or general non-encyclopedic content. Explain why on the talk page.

Split and Merge Templates

These templates are to be used if either an article covers too much, covers too little or is too similar to another article. See their descriptions for more details.

Template Name	Example	Where to use
{{Split}} Article needs Splitting		If the article covers too large a subject area or its sub-sections might be worth making into articles of their own, mark the topic at the top with this tag. Use the talk page then to describe why you think the article should be split and what sections are worth making into their own articles.
{{Merge|article}} Article needs Merging		If the article covers too small a subject area or its contents are largly duplications of another article, adding only a little extra, mark it with this tag near the top of the page. State your reasons on the talk page, and also tag and post to the talk page on the article you wish to merge with.
