Hello PC-XT. You recommended a merge at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 February 10#Template:Moogfest 2010. I am thinking of closing some TfD discussions. How is a template merge done? Do you just subst the template into the article? Is anything special done about the edit history of the template? Thanks for any advice.

- Yes, for Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2013_February_10#Template:Mw_mages, as a passing suggestion, I mentioned a merge with a list in the Mage_Wars article. I was thinking of either adding something to each list item, or replacing it with the table from the template, myself, but wasn't sure about it, either, and just left it. The template didn't have much more information, so it was hardly worth doing.

Hi, i would like to notify you that articles Kurdish separatism in Iran and Rebellions in Iranian Kurdistan are proposed to be merged. Previously a related discussion was held at proposal to rename "Kurdish separatism in Iran" -> "Kurdish insurgency in modern Iran" (WP:RM was rejected). In addition, the template:Campaignbox Kurdish separatism in Iran was later split ([1] into new template:Campaignbox Kurdish–Iranian conflict, but was consequently remerged via a community consensus (see discussion).
Current merger discussion is held at Kurdish separatism in Iran#Proposed merge with Kurdish separatism in Iran.Greyshark09 (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-09-22T08:09:00.000Z","author":"Greyshark09","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Greyshark09-2013-09-22T08:09:00.000Z-Kurdish_separatism_in_Iran_article","replies":["c-PC-XT-2013-09-23T03:00:00.000Z-Greyshark09-2013-09-22T08:09:00.000Z"]}}-->

Regarding something you wrote at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Automatically_prompt_editors_before_saving_common_mistakes, I would recommend using Anomie's Ajax Preview, which adds an extra button between Save and Preview, and allows you to view a section with refs laid out. The added bonus is that you avoid the mistake of leaving Reflist in the section by accident. :) Green Giant (talk) supports NonFreeWiki 01:26, 1 April 2014 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-04-01T01:26:00.000Z","author":"Green Giant","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Green_Giant-2014-04-01T01:26:00.000Z-Section_editing_and_references","replies":["c-PC-XT-2014-04-01T01:37:00.000Z-Green_Giant-2014-04-01T01:26:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks sir. This is the infobox template I need:
name: myinfo
parameters: name, sex, date of birth, nationality, language, location, occupation.
I dont want to use infobox templates created by others. I want to know how to create one by myself. Please show me how you programmed this template, from the begining to the end. I may have to add more parameters in the future.

- I might suggest looking at {{Infobox user}}. It has a lot of those parameters. Since you want to make and use your own template, you can make it in userspace. I might suggest creating the page User:Medara Bassey/infobox for this purpose. Most people base their infobox templates on {{infobox}}, but you don't need to. In the template page you create, try this code to make a table:
- {| class="infobox"
- |-
- ! Name: || {{{Name|}}}
- |-
- ! Gender: || {{{Gender|}}}
- |}
- You can expand the table with more options. Then, on your userpage, place the name of the template you just created, and its parameters, inside curly braces, for example {{User:Medara Bassey/infobox|Name=Medara Bassey|Gender=Male}}. If you use a parameter that isn't in triple braces in the template, it won't show up. There are a lot of other things you can do with templates and parameters. For more on tables, see Help:Table. —PC-XT+ 11:34, 2 April 2014 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-04-02T11:34:00.000Z","author":"PC-XT","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-PC-XT-2014-04-02T11:34:00.000Z-Medara_Bassey-2014-04-02T11:15:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"\u2014PC"}}-->
Goodday sir. Please I want to create a template named User:Medara Bassey/show article. Name of article is a parameter. Assuming the value is: National Examination Council (Nigeria), The template should open this wikipedia's article. How do I code this template?

- How do you want the link to the article to appear on the page? You can use National Examination Council (Nigeria) to display an article with its title. The code is [[National Examination Council (Nigeria)]]. You can add parameter code in a template, so it becomes [[{{{1}}}]] or [[{{{article}}}]]. To change link display, use [[{{{article}}}|{{{text}}}]].

- You can add that code to a row in an infobox table: (Example to the right)
- {| class="infobox"
- |-
- ! Page: || [[{{{Page}}}]]
- |-
- | '''Information:''' || {{{Info|}}}
- |}
- Or, here is another style:
- {| class="infobox"
- |+ [[{{{Page}}}]]
- |-
- | {{{Info|}}}

Hi PC-XT. I noticed you're signature includes tt tages. Did you know those are obsolete in HTML5? I personally don't care much about it, but for neatness sake you could change them. Quoting W3C: "Where the tt element would have been used for marking up keyboard input, consider the kbd element; for variables, consider the var element; for computer code, consider the code element; and for computer output, consider the samp element."

- Thanks for the notice. I used to use that tag a lot, and I keep forgetting it was deprecated and is now obsolete. I updated my signature because I don't like the idea of spreading obsolete tags around the encyclopedia, even if it is only on talk pages. I expect obsolete tags will only be ignored, so it's probably not worth going back and editing any old signatures. —PC-XT+ 03:14, 22 November 2014 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-11-22T03:14:00.000Z","author":"PC-XT","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-PC-XT-2014-11-22T03:14:00.000Z-Martijn_Hoekstra-2014-11-21T12:31:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"\u2014PC"}}-->
Hi PC-XT:
Thanks for the notification regarding the improper tag for images. This was my first article, and I made a "newbe" mistake of improperly mashing together two templates that are supposed to be separate — OTRS Pending and Copyright License Tags
I was responding to instructions of an editor that voiced concern over copyright on images to avoid premature deletion. It is my understanding that this problem related to the notification is is solved now.
I received written permission from the copyright owner for the use of all images in the article, and this has been forwarded to Media Commons and is on file with Media Commons.
I am currently working with Media Commons to rectify the needed copyright clearances and other tags that need to be placed on all images.
Wanted to place this on your talk page as well to be sure you got the message. Niknakc (talk) 21:57, 21 November 2014 (UTC)Please let me know if there are any other problems that need addressing.
