Template for excessive details

Moved to Wikipedia talk:Template index/User talk namespace § Template for excessive details

Proposal for tablet viewing and elections

Could we implement a system where for elections and other relevant pages, because infoboxes (especially wide ones) can squash the lead, that for tablet viewing an automatic Template:Clear system is implement where the lead starts after/below the infobox on tablet viewing, rather than squashed next to it? For example, when trying to view the 2025 Japanese House of Councillors election on tablet the lead appears very squashed with only a couple of words per line, but looks fine on mobile and PC. Therefore, starting the lead on tablet viewing after the infobox, rather than squashed next to it, would look a lot better. (Another editor recommended I re-post this here).

Proposal: Merge separate 1930s aviation accidents and incidents template pages into one list

Hello. I've been doing some editing to the aviation accidents and incidents template pages and I noticed that the 1920s, instead of having 10 separate pages, are instead handily condensed into one template page for ease of access. The reason being separate template pages for each year in the 1920s would result in only 1-4 articles per year. The list for the 1920s contains 31 articles. Comparing this to say, 1974, which has 27 alone.

This brings my attention to the 1930s which was a (fortunately) quieter decade for aviation disasters (until 1935 at least, but even that year only has 10 listed). My proposal is to merge the 10 separate pages for the 1930s into one template page. There are currently 62 articles within the 1930s decade, there are a few I've assessed however that I believe should be removed, for example Miss Veedol. Generally, for an incident to be listed on the template page it needs to have its own article. There are around 5 articles that redirect to sections within their articles in this decade, or in the case of Miss Veedol, are even more vague than that. I feel that merging them into one page would be better than separate pages that barely get above 7-8 listed articles in a given year (1932 only has 1 not including Miss Veedol!).

I think one page for the 1930s with some assessing would likely have about 55 entries. This may sound like a lot however after 1950, each template usually has 25-40 per year on average. 1973 has 44 (was a sad year for aviation)! There is also another condensed template page for aviation incidents that took place before 1915. This page has 32 articles listed.

I don't think 55-60 pages is too outrageous for one template page that is serving an ease of access purpose. I've not yet checked every individual template page but some individual years do enter into the 40s in terms of listed articles.

I think there is some merit to my proposal and I would be interested to hear others' opinions! 11WB (talk) 23:51, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Philippine Supreme Court case

Hello,

I would like to request the creation of a new Wikipedia template: {{Infobox Philippine Supreme Court case}}, modeled after the existing {{Infobox SCOTUS case}}, but tailored for the Philippine legal context.

The purpose of this template is to provide a standardized, comprehensive, and nuanced way to present key details about cases decided by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. While there are currently general law-related infobox templates, they lack certain Philippine-specific fields and formatting, and often do not capture the same level of detail as the U.S. counterpart.

Proposed parameters (based on {{Infobox SCOTUS case}} but with additions):

Case name / Full case name
Litigants
Argue date (oral arguments)
Argue year
Decide date
Decide year
Motion for consideration date (if applicable)
Citation(s) (Philippine Reports citation, SCRA citation, etc.)
Docket number(s)
Laws applied (Philippine Constitution provisions, statutes, Republic Acts, etc.)
Prior history
Subsequent history
Holding
Majority opinion by
Concurrences
Dissents
Notable quotes / excerpts (optional)
Significance (optional, brief)
Court membership at time of decision (with Chief Justice and Associate Justices listed)

Check a couple new {{Use X English}} templates

Hi! I just created {{Use Caribbean English}} (ie {{UCarE}}) and {{Use Belizean English}} (ie {{UBelE}}), and wanted so see if any template editor might give them a quick look over to see if the code actually does match the documentation for each, pls :)

For {{UCarE}}: this is meant to be the parent template (categorises articles into Use Caribbean English subcategories by date) and is basically just copied from other {{Use X English}} templates, but with two new parameters |spelling= and |country= that I'm unsure of (but which oughtta match behaviour detailed in the Usage and TemplateData sections of template doc, for sure)
For {{UBelE}}: this is meant to just be {{UCarE}} with |country=bz preset, but with any of the parent template's parameters (and parameter aliases) also useable in this template

Here's the requested info from WP:RT lead para or edit notice:

This is a: request for (any needed) updates to existing templates {{UCarE}} and {{UBelE}} (as WP:VPT seemed inappropriate for this tbh)
Templates are used to: track articles written in Caribbean English (for {{UCarE}}) generally, or in Belizean English (for {{UBelE}}) in particular
Templates should look like: both templates have no visible output; both oughtta match their documentation accurately though
Which articles templates should link to: any article written in the appropriate English dialect (but templates were just created so they aren't transcluded from any article yet!)
Related or similar templates: any {{Use X English}} template, except that none of these have |spelling= nor |country= toggles, and none are subtemplates of any parent template (afaik)

IP DYK nom

Hello,

Please could an autoconfirmed editor create Template:Did you know nominations/All You Need Is Death with the following text bookended with two curly brackets:

subst:NewDYKnomination | article = All You Need Is Death | status = new | hook = ... that when a prospective funder described his script for horror film All You Need Is Death as "weird and confusing", director Paul Duane chose to get the phrase tattooed on his arm and fund it himself?
