It would be useful if there were a 'Move to Wikitravel' template (e.g. Hidden London). However, I'm not sure how to set one up. Andrewferrier 18:26, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)
See Template:Move to Wikitravel. ]–spencer195 19:33, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Wikitravel is not a Wikimedia sister project, and as such, shouldn't be treated like Template:Move to Wiktionary. Our editors have no special relationship with that other site. We have no instructions for just how to move that information, especially because Wikitravel uses a completely different license. -- Netoholic @ 19:48, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)
What is the template for a page that's intentionally left blank and protected to deal with vandalism in the form of recreations? It should be listed here. CryptoDerk 01:51, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
Major reorganization of Template messages table
I've done a major reorganization of the entries in the article-related template messages table. This makes the redundancies between this list and Issues & Disputes and Cleanup more obvious. Please see my remarks on Misplaced Pages talk:Template messages and comment there if you wish. - dcljr 16:04, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Unfortunate wording
The Attention tag says "Please improve it in any way you see fit." Of course we don't want that at all! We want someone to improve it in accordance with our policies of NPOV etc.. Can someone fix it, please? --Zero 01:54, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- You can edit the template at Template:Attention. I personally think it is fine the way it is. Articles so tagged need a lot of help in general. Template_talk:Attention has discussion about the template's wording. -- Reinyday, 16 August 2005
New template
I suggest a new template for articles that have outdated information or that need to be updated to current events, etc.. Is there already a template for this? Yodakii 17:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Great idea! That template exists. It is {{Update}} and currently looks like this:

- We need a template for Articles that are featured articles, due to recent concerns of lack of stability. (Note: No lack of stability, only the appearance of such.) The Terri Schiavo article was worked on by many editors, myself included, and our work is the subject of occasional vandalism (sometimes we accuse one another of such), and this new template would stop that. I don't know if I need permission to create a template, but the only way to ask permission is to show it to you, so, I am concomitantly making it and posting it on the front page. If it is "premature," it can be hidden in "hidden comments," but I can't tell you as well as I can show you. See e.g., the front page for the needed new template -another new template, as hinted (but not actually asked, I admit) by the original beginner of this thread.

- Comment: There are those who might say that this lack of stability would mean the article should not be a Featured Article, but this is false logic:
- EMPERICAL FACT: Wikis are, by the nature of the cat, unstable.
- PAST CONVENTION: We have a protect for images, so we -to be fair -need one for articles.
- GUT FEELING: If no template for articles, as I suggest, then none for images -but we know that's wrong, so I must be right.
