Cite MoDOT map / Missouri road map template
Similar to the {{Illinois road map}} and {{Cite MDOT map}} templates, this requested template would link to one of the old highway maps of Missouri. For now, it doesn't appear to exist yet. AlphaBeta135 (talk) 19:37, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- AlphaBeta135 is this still a request you have? I could potentially do this, though I'd need some more information. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 02:03, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Swedish Royal Weddings
I would like to request the creation of a template for Swedish Royal Weddings. The only two subcategories for European Royal Weddings are that of British Royal Weddings and Swedish Royal Weddings. There is a very nice template for the British weddings, so I propose that the Swedes be given the same treatment.
Painting17 (talk) 03:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Done: Painting17, see Template:Swedish royal weddings. ~ Ase1estecharge-paritytime 12:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank IP user
It's a template to thank IP address users. I know this template already exists but I'm suggesting a reworded version of it. Because all the templates that exist to thank IP users say thanks for help cleaning up vandalism. I think there should be one just to thank IP users for improving an article not cleaning up vandalism. Toad62 17:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Toad62: {{Welcome-anon-constructive}} can do it with

Oh thanks! I didn't know this one existed. Toad62 15:24, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Yellow mechanical bird template
I'd like a template for the WikiLove message that I used here. I originally found it at User_talk:CheckIntentPlease, and as far as I know it was made by User:Deepfriedokra. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 01:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Skarmory is there a reason you cannot create the template, if you have the code for it already? Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 02:02, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- I tried and quickly realized I have no idea how to code a template. I have the message code, but what I was doing was copying it from the talk page to other talk pages, and a template would probably make things easier. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:54, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
AfroCROWD template
I'd like help creating Template:AfroCROWD. I tried drafting one based on Template:WIR, but am struggling with the complexity.
Here's my draft: User:Paul2520/sandbox2.
Like with Women in Red, this should allow us to track which event/date the article was created, or just be a catch-all for articles created as part of the WP:AfroCROWD project (if no date/event is provided). However, Women in Red seems to have a ton of specific/sub templates that I don't think AfroCROWD needs (at this time).
Thanks in advance! = paul2520 💬 21:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Paul2520, I would like to know the problems you are having with it and how the template should be like in more specific details (perhaps you can give the full usage of the template). ~ Ase1estecharge-paritytime 13:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Aseleste. Biggest problem has been not understanding all the code behind the Women in Red template.
- The way I see it: (1) exist as a banner to illustrate that the article was started through the AfroCROWD project / at an AfroCROWD event.
- (2) add the article to a category, perhaps the equivalent of Category:WikiProject Women in Red articles.
- (3) ties in with (2), add the article to a sub-category rather than a category, if year parameter is given.
- (4) maybe just link to the page of a specific event, if one is listed.
- I think that covers it, but I'll share this request with others at the event to weigh-in. = paul2520 💬 14:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Paul2520, from these four points only, I think the Template:WIR basically matches what you need. The one important difference I have noticed is that all event pages for WP:WIR are stored under Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup, while WP:AfroCROWD seems to store them in several places. Apart from that, everything else seems the same. ~ Ase1estecharge-paritytime 15:25, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Width of templates for listing old XfDs
I've been trying to get this to work on the sandbox of Template:Oldtfdlist without much luck. Currently, the width is static, so no matter how much text is inside the template, it takes up the same amount of space on the page. I think it would be better if the width was dynamic, but didn't go above the width it's currently always at. I tried "width:auto" "max-width:50%"
, but apparently max-width overrides width, so that didn't work. I tried "max-width:50%" by itself, but that didn't work either because it doesn't become as wide as the static template is right now with lots of text. Can someone who knows what they're doing help out with this? Thanks, DesertPipeline (talk) 06:24, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- @DesertPipeline: Done with Special:Diff/1014140108. Let me know if this is not what you meant. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 11:58, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- User:Aseleste: Unfortunately not; that displays the same as my failed attempts previously. I don't know if it's just not displaying correctly on my side or something, but the maximum width is a lot less like that than the static width it was before. I'd like it to be able to display with as small a width as possible to fit the text inside it, up to a maximum width consistent with the width it used to be statically. Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 12:44, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- @DesertPipeline: Hmm... They look the same to me right now on Template:Oldtfdlist/testcases after restoring Template:Oldtfdlist/sandbox to its previous layout. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 12:50, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- User:Aseleste: So you mean that the "Large amount of text" testcase is the same width for you with both the old static code and the new dynamic code? Because for me, the width is to the first "test", then it wraps. DesertPipeline (talk) 12:55, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- (For the current live code only, I mean) DesertPipeline (talk) 12:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- @DesertPipeline: Yeah, I mean the last test case. The first two test cases are not the same because 50% is not needed to fit all the content inside. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 12:58, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Also, in case you are not aware, 50% width is relative, so the wrapped words will be different depending on your browser window width. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 13:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- User:Aseleste: My browser window is the same size when comparing the two, so I have no idea why this is happening. I'm on Firefox ESR 78.9.0. What about you? DesertPipeline (talk) 13:06, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- @DesertPipeline:
Google Chrome 89.0.4389.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable)
~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 13:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)- User:Aseleste: Wait, sorry, no, I got confused. All testcases wrap for me with the new code. In the link, it gets to "Templates for", then wraps, even though when it gets to "Keep", that goes further than the link does. The same with "Keep. test". I don't know whether this is because I'm on an older version, or if it's specifically a Firefox thing. I don't understand why that would be the case, though. DesertPipeline (talk) 13:12, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- @DesertPipeline: Check the test casr page again and look at the sandbox version. I have just updated the sandbox code. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 13:22, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- User:Aseleste: I now get a horizontal scroll bar, and the "Large amount of text" sandbox test case is off to the right, with some of it (up to "Template:Maintai", and then it goes off the page to the right and I have to scroll) visible within the normal borders of the page without scrolling horizontally. The other sandbox test cases are displaying correctly. DesertPipeline (talk) 13:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- @DesertPipeline: Does the test case box itself extends beyond the normal border? If so, that's just a quirk of the test case template, so it should not be a problem for the template we are discussing. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 13:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- User:Aseleste: Yeah, I was thinking I should mention that after I posted my previous comment :) The test case box is off to the right as well, and the live code example isn't visible unless I scroll all the way to the right. The current sandbox code is working properly for me then :) DesertPipeline (talk) 13:37, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Mahatma Gandhi family tree
I was wondering if there should be a template for the family of Mahatma Gandhi. It's the perfect size to fit in a template, and is certainly notable enough.
Painting17 (talk) 15:20, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Painting17: Do you mean creating a template like {{Kim dynasty (North Korea)}}? Also, what should the name of the new template be? ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 01:17, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Or you mean {{Kim dynasty (North Korea) family tree}}? ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 01:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- I think the family tree one would do fine. Painting17 (talk) 13:06, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Painting17: Lots of family trees to choose from... Not sure which one to use here. It looks like the choices are {{Tree list}} (easist), {{Chart}}, and a table (hardest). ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 15:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- I generally think charts are the way to go. It's small enough that a tree list wouldn't be necessary. Painting17 (talk) 15:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Critical Role
My idea for a template is a NavBox on the Critical Role franchise. There's a large amount of articles related to it, including Critical Role (campaign one), Critical Role (campaign two), Critical Role Productions, List of Critical Role episodes, and Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins.
Painting17 (talk) 15:49, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Painting17: Done: {{Critical Role}} - Looks slightly lacking in content. A category added to
below
will be nice. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 09:40, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Getting number of edits by a user
This should be fairly straight forward. Just get the number of edits made by a user and give that output in the template. The user should be a variable
Aknell4 (talk) 13:45, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Aknell4: That information is not available to templates. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
Requesting flags/emblems
I noticed a large quantity of articles that are missing images of flags, such as flag of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I was wondering if there could be a template used to mark these.
