Tasks: Templates

• Return to Tasks

Longer/Recurring Tasks

1. On long-table templates, like "Template:Table Trbosys", create sequential-nested "Hide##" parameters to hide unused table-rows.
   • Hide## hides all following rows, so that (##-1) is the last visible row.
   • Hide## hides all following rows, so that only one Hide statement is needed to hide end of table.
   • Template:Table_Trboconventional and Template:Table_Trbosys -- done.
2. Add parameter "TitleSuffix" to Template:Text CatStateOtherFreq, Template:Text CatStateOther, Template:Text CatStateOtherNonRRDB, at end of both the title and the sample category-statement.
   1. Make HideOtherInTitle also hide "OtherIsNotFreq" etc.
   2. Verify reason for this parameter; possibly for " Repeaters", etc.
3. Do Documentation
   1. Update Template:Text_CatStateOtherFreq/doc and other "/docs" with USDefFreqInState info.
   2. Finish other "/doc" pages
4. Ensure that all articles use related templates
   1. Use compass at bottom of pages as appropriate
   2. Create additional templates as appropriate
5. Update Infobox(es)
   1. Move FCC link up to the FCC line
   2. In lower section put Site Map links
   3. In lower section put new DBReport... links
   4. Adjust certain templates to make boilerplate text optional, or create second wrapper-template containing boilerplate text that wraps the template which does the work
6. Add unused valid templates to User:QDP2012/30/1/1 to avoid the Unused Templates list
7. Consider template-categories for templates
8. Consider creating another template (aimilar to FCC License {{{1}}}) that queries FCC by callsign, as opposed to license-number

Pages: Templates-List: General Use Only, Infobox-Related, Categories-Related, Sets of Related Pages, Doc.

• UncategorizedTemplates (500) / UnusedTemplates (500) / MostLinkedTemplates (500)

• Update table below to show relation between templates if exists.
• Make "Table_" templates uniform in their syntax/approach to table-building
  • Make sure all the "Table_" templates begin with the table-start "{|" characters, so that each template-call behaves as the table-call, and is not embedded within a table-call.
  • This leads to uniform syntax in main Wiki pages, and is less confusing for people building tables.
• Consider "Table_" template(s) that use(s) "toccolours" (check spelling).
• Learn about possible .css features that allow "class=rr" etc.
• Update InfoBoxes for multiple callsigns
• Possibly revisit in future: Template:Table_Trboconventional modifications like:
