(Redirected from Template messages)

This page provides an index of the standard templates messages in use on finiki. Template messages are used to add recurring messages to pages in a consistent way. They also standardize the categorization of pages.

Instructions

To display any of these messages, insert {{NameOfMessage}} on the appropriate page. For example, insert {{Incomplete}} or {{Missing information}} to the top of a page that is incomplete or might be missing information to improve the article.

Can improvements be made easily?

Before placing templates on a page, it is worthwhile to cast a critical eye over the page to determine whether or not the improvements could be made easily, thus eliminating the need for a tag.

Available Template messages

Please note that these messages may be based on {{Ambox}} and the look changes depending which namespace.

  • A stub is an article containing only one or a few sentences of text that, although providing some useful information, is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, and that is capable of expansion.
  • Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they have significant problems or are noticeably incomplete. With these larger articles, a cleanup template is usually added instead of a stub template.
