Templates

To do

  • Documenting templates, later on with a documentation template
Maybe I should create a documentation template and "accessories" before starting to document templates. Need to learn a few things before that though. -- Johan G 07:06, 11 February 2012 (EST)
More to it than I thought. ;-) -- Johan G 13:59, 12 February 2012 (EST)
Gijs created {{informative template}} in favour of a more complex one in February 2012. —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 16:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Create a navigation box for the help pages.
  • Nasal tutorials:
    • Read through, or at least skim through the nasal pages.
    • Create a nasal tutorial page template with input Hooray.
    • Create nasal tutorial info/navbox with input from Hooray.

Work in progress

I have at least gone through most of them. —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 10:50, 12 March 2016 (EST)

Done

Not done

  • Template:tl Template link template. I think this one will be used a lot. Since it will be used in running text I have opted for a short name. Cross icon Already exists. Should have known to search for it before adding it.
  • {{aerotow ready}} template for aerotows. Cross icon Not needed
This is done through {{Infobox Aircraft}} instead. —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 16:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
  • {{aerotowable ready}} template for aerotow compatible soaring planes. Cross icon Not needed
This is done through {{Infobox Aircraft}} instead. —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 16:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Archive templates. Not done Not done
Gijs created templates for this in March 2012, though he did not document them... —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 16:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Wich in turn was hugely simplified and documented by Red Leader 31 October 2015Johan G (Talk | contribs) 10:50, 12 March 2016 (EST)
