Jump to: navigation, search

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[edit]

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

Smallwikipedialogo.png
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)

Smallwikipedialogo.png
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: WikiFur User
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

WikiFur:Templates/All Templates/to do

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[edit]

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

Template Name Example Where to use
{{Delete}}


Delete

Stop hand.png This item may not be appropriate for inclusion on WikiFur in this form.

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

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.

New registered editor welcome

Hi Templates, Welcome to WikiFur! Thank you for registering an account - we look forward to working with you. Let us know if you need any help not already provided. If you would like help creating an article or just editing it, don't hesitate to consult the Furry Book of Style or just contact a curator. Have a nice day! This template is used to welcome new registered editors. Usage: {{subst:welcome}} ~~~~
{{anon-welcome}}


Anonymous editor welcome

Welcome to WikiFur, and thank you for your recent contributions! Don't forget, you can get a free account (why should I?). Let us know if you need any help not already provided. :-) This template is used to welcome new anonymous editors and encourage them to register an account. Usage: {{subst:anon-welcome|article name}} ~~~~
{{agf-welcome}} Welcome to WikiFur! Judging from your recent edit to WikiFur, you might be having trouble using the editing tools, or understanding the purpose of WikiFur. You haven't done any permanent harm; WikiFur keeps a log of all actions so they can be reversed. If you need help with editing, see Help:Editing. For editing experiments, use the sandbox or the "Show preview" button. If you need help understanding the purpose of WikiFur, see What WikiFur is and is not. If you have any questions, you can contact a curator. Usage: {{subst:agf-welcome}} ~~~~
{{anon-ask}} Welcome to WikiFur! Although we appreciate attempts to remove or correct factually incorrect information from articles, your recent edit has us puzzled. You should be aware that WikiFur keeps a history of previous versions of articles, and they can be restored by anyone if they feel your edit does not have any support. When making future edits or providing support for you recent edit, it may help to:
  • Log in to your account or get a free account
  • Leave an edit summary
  • Since WikiFur is an archive of historical furry information, even if some statement is no longer true, storing the historical facts is appropriate for WikiFur. For example if your article says you're a member of a group that you're no longer a member of, you might change it from "DarkMoonGreyWolf is an active member of the group Wolves For A Larger Moon." to "DarkMoonGreyWolf used to be an active member of the group Wolves For A Larger Moon, until he left the group in May 2006." Editors should use judgment to decide whether the fact is of historical importance to the fandom, or could no longer be of any interest.
  • If you are editing an article about yourself, see WikiFur:Personal information.

If you need help, please be sure to read The Furry Book of Style, and if you're still stumped, try the Help desk or contact a curator.
{{cannot-use}} Thank for your recent contributions, but I don't think we can use it, at least not in its current form. Please see what WikiFur is not. If you think the content is appropriate for WikiFur, you may be able to contribute to a discussion regarding the content, or start a new discussion by clicking the "discussion" tab for the article. If the contribution has already been removed from the article and you would like to save the content by copying it somewhere else, you can click the "history" tab at the top of the article to find your previous versions. Don't let this discourage you from contributing, and let us know if you need any help not already provided. Usage: {{subst:cannot-use}} ~~~~
{{ask-cite}} Thank you for your recent contributions! While we don't have a rigid sourcing policy, references are preferred, especially for unusual or controversial assertions. Other editors may remove information if its accuracy cannot be verified.

recent changes.

Revision Templates[edit]

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

Broom icon.png This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to WikiFur style and standards.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
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

Broom icon.png This article reads like an advertisement. Please clean it up to make it neutral in tone.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for help.
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

Question mark.svg.png This article does not provide enough context. Please fix the article if you are familiar with the subject. Articles without enough context to be cleaned up or expanded may be deleted.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
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

User-Pict.png This article does not provide enough information to determine whether the identity described is a person, fursona, or original character.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.

{{Update}}

{{Wikify}}


Wikify

Broom icon.png This article needs to be wikified (formatted according to the Furry Book of Style).
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
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

Writing Magnifying.PNG This article needs copyediting (for correct spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)

For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
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.

If no source is forthcoming, try to find one yourself before contacting an administrator over the possibly untrue content.
