Template for excessive details

Moved to Wikipedia talk:Template index/User talk namespace § Template for excessive details

Template:ARTICLEROOTPAGENAME

A pseudo magic word similar to Template:FULLROOTPAGENAME that returns {{ARTICLESPACE}}:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}. So, for example, on Template:ABC, Template talk:ABC, Template:ABC/DEF/GHI, and Template talk:ABC/DEF/GHI, it will return "Template:ABC". This allows one to link to the true "root" page without having to manually type out the two magic words every time.

Basically, {{#if: {{ARTICLESPACE}}|{{ARTICLESPACE}}:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}}}} 208.114.63.4 (talk) 14:27, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Decadebox links to years

{{Decadebox}} links to years in e.g. 710s BC, but makes no links to the extant articles for years in 740s BC (740 BC, 743 BC, 745 BC, 746 BC, 747 BC) or earlier decades. – Fayenatic London 14:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

According to the doc of {{dr}}, which {{decadebox}} uses for its links, {{dr-make}} may need updating (it is template-protected). ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 17:14, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Creation of Vietnamese Buddhism template

   Title: "Vietnamese Buddhism"
   Sections:
       History (e.g., Origins, Chinese and Indian influences, Nguyễn Dynasty Buddhism, Buddhism during the Vietnam War)
       Schools & Traditions (e.g., Thiền [Vietnamese Zen], Tịnh Độ [Pure Land], Mật Tông [Esoteric Buddhism])
       Key Figures (e.g., Thích Nhất Hạnh, Thích Quảng Đức, Nguyễn Minh Tiến)
       Major Temples & Pagodas (e.g., One Pillar Pagoda, Perfume Pagoda, Bai Dinh Temple)
       Sacred Texts & Literature (e.g., Lục độ tập kinh, Sutta translations)
       Festivals & Practices (e.g., Vesak in Vietnam, Ghost Festival, ancestor veneration)
       Organizations & Movements (e.g., Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, Vietnamese Buddhist Sangha)

What It Should Do

The template should:

   Provide easy navigation between articles related to Vietnamese Buddhism.
   Standardize information by linking related topics in one place.
   Encourage expansion of Vietnamese Buddhism-related articles by making them more accessible.

Related or Similar Templates

To ensure consistency, it should align with existing Buddhism templates, such as:

   Template:Buddhism (General Buddhism)
   Template:Zen Buddhism (Zen Buddhism)
   Template:Mahayana (Mahayana Buddhism)
   Template:Theravada (Theravada Buddhism)
   Template:Buddhism in Japan (for reference)

By referencing these, the Vietnamese Buddhism template will maintain a cohesive structure with other Wikipedia navigation templates.

Cite legislation (generic) request

Hi I'd like to create a new cite template pls. I tried figuring out how to do it but then I came across this page.

Background

There are cite legislation templates for Australia (but this contains a special link to Auslii) and there's a cite leg template for the UK but no generic one and this is something I need often or I've found is generally lacking (e.g. see the Norman Manley page that I was editing earlier that cites two Jamaican statutes).

Ask

What I'm looking for is very basic and not complicated. It would work for legislation in most common law jurisdictions (incl Australia and the UK).

Common law legislation is usually cited as follows:

• Title including year (jurisdiction), eg. Freedom of Information Act 1980 (UK)
• Title including year (jurisdiction), provision type, provision number, eg. Freedom of Information Act 1980 (NSW), s 25(1)

I'd also like to include a url link.

Could someone please create a basic simple template. It might be called "Cite legislation (generic common law)" or similar.

{{cite leg
|title=
|jurisdiction=
|provision type=
|provision number=
|url=
|access-date=}}

Notes:

• Title should be rendered in italics
• Jurisdiction should appear in parenthesis immediately after the title
• Title and jurisdiction should be followed by a comma and then followed by the provision (type and) number.
• Provision type is optional but should be free text to allow a variety (eg. section or s. or ss., regulation or reg, rule or r or rr., clause or cl, article, subsection or subs., subclause or subcl, subregulation, subrule etc.)
• Provision number should be free text and accommodate parenthesis, periods, numbers and letters (e.g, 2(1), 2.2, 22A, 22(a), 22(a)(i).

Work in progress

Alternatively, I've created a link for a sandbox page on my user page as I was planning to get started there and work out the kinks (for example NSW vs NSW, Aus.).

Advice or a cheat sheet as to how to do it also welcomed. Thx. ash (talk) 08:03, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
