Template for excessive details

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

oil well

Wikipedia has no template for oil wells. I feel stupid entering information on an oil well in the knowledge that this effort will not be of benefit to a future bot.

among the properties should be:

latitude, longitude, name, company, depth, completion date, flow rate, field that it belongs to 2A02:2455:8423:4800:6902:A432:9181:42F7 (talk) 18:25, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a format you have? Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ouch 07:24, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to have just the name of the well in italics and a generated footnote that displays further information as a popup when it is hovered? 2A02:2455:8423:4800:D341:21E8:A773:F982 (talk) 23:52, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you create one here for references, user:Cactusisme/sandbox Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ouch 03:27, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox oil field exists, and it's used on (e.g.) Dammam No. 7 (a well rather than a field). If the "depth" and "oil field" fields are important, it could be copied and edited to create Template:Infobox oil well. Other than that, it appears to fit your purpose. Moscow Mule (talk) 15:18, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i want a template that will render in the article text. it will just print the name of the well and the serial number: Dammam No. 7. Then there would be a footnote that contains a property sheet with all the info.

The point as i stated above is to enter the information so that it can be processed automatically, instead of formulating a sentence that cannot. 2A02:2455:8423:4800:EC28:A83C:2836:C202 (talk) 01:08, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BLP original research

Can there be a template to warn editors that a BLP they're reading could potentially contain original research? It should say, "This biography of a living person possibly contains original research. Please help by verifying the claims with reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous." Are there already similar templates?

@1isall isn't the {{original research}} fine? Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ouch 07:24, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, the word "article" in that template can be replaced with something else. 1isall (talk/contribs) 12:27, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, I guess. 1isall (talk/contribs) 12:28, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Mehsana

Dear Sir,

I humbly requesting you to please check and everything ok then approved my template.

Thank you, Rahulkrsah (talk) 01:40, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Template:Mehasana now in article space. NB: Kadi and Subdivision are disambiguation pages. Moscow Mule (talk) 14:33, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:1979 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football standings

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Template:1979_Southern_Intercollegiate_Athletic_Conference_football_standings

I accidentally submitted this to article for creation. I need it created as a template.

Bertuccistonite (talk) 14:21, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can do that yourself with the WP:MOVE button: select the "(article)" namespace on the dialogue page. Moscow Mule (talk) 15:05, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did I do it correctly? Bertuccistonite (talk) 17:22, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Next step is to delete all the AFC tags before the template proper starts and you should be good to go live. Moscow Mule (talk) 18:43, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For Change the Title Name Template:Blocks of Siwan district to Template:Siwan

Dear Sir,

I humbly request you to please change the block template name to district level. For example - Template:Blocks of Siwan district to Template:Siwan.

Thank you, Rahulkrsah (talk) 06:52, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can do that yourself with the WP:MOVE button. I'd only suggest you keep an eye for consistent naming among templates that are part of a series ("Districts of Bihar" or "Districts of India" in this case, I assume). Moscow Mule (talk) 15:05, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template: Backup account Suggestion

I have a request for a template to mark an account as a backup. On the 29th of June, 2025, QwertyForest asked me about my backup, Hazelfayettine21765, and after a short talk I had with QwertyForest, I thought that a template for backup accounts using a style similar to the abandoned account template, as in:

(blue box with white text and gold outline) B A C K U P A C C O U N T

(double spacing on the text above won’t show properly here)

(normal bold black text) This is a backup account of the user (username). This is not a sockpuppet or an impersonator. Melissza’s page Have a talk! My contributions 20:50, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this alone is the best way of noting a backup account. There would still be nothing stopping an impersonater from using the template to look more authentic. I think it would work much better if paired with a template for the established account. QwertyForest (talk) 21:37, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I realised that…I should have suggested some sort of “verification” option or something like that. --Melissza’s page Have a talk! My contributions 18:31, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:1980_Southern_Intercollegiate_Athletic_Conference_football_standings

I'm not sure if I correctly submitted this template, should I have it in templates or do I need to move it back to drafts?

Bertuccistonite (talk) 20:27, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bertuccistonite I think you’re better off finding the correct board to post this. This is a requests for templates board, not a general template help board. For something like that, try the technical village pump. Melissza’s page Have a talk! My contributions 04:48, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I wouldn’t recommend posting a topic which is meant to be separate into a completely different topic sub-board. Melissza’s page Have a talk! My contributions 04:51, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1980 SIAC Football Standings

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:1980_Southern_Intercollegiate_Athletic_Conference_football_standings

I'm not sure if I requested this template correctly, should it be under templates or do I have to move it back to drafts for it to be reviewed?

Bertuccistonite (talk) 20:28, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've no idea what it all means, but it looks very similar to the 1979 one and it's in the right place. I think you're good to go. Moscow Mule (talk) 14:42, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

{{AI-generated}} template for sections

Currently one is able to tag either the whole article with {{AI-generated}} or {{llm}} and put an {{AI-generated inline}} template inline. There doesn't seem to be a variation of the template that can mark a section. It doesn't need much changing from the "parent" template, the text can remain the same except "article" needs to be changed to "section" in This article incorporates text from a large language model. Such text... so it reads This section incorporates text from a large language model. Such text... I believe the template would come in handy because often it is not whole articles that are LLM-generated, but only sections, especially in old articles and articles that are updated with recent developments.

I'm not sure if a whole new template has to be created, e.g. {{AI-section}} or if the existing one can be modified with a parameter, e.g. "|section=yes".

Pinging @Barkeep49: who created the template page. I hope that's allowed. TurboSuperA+_(connect) 07:37, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging me was definitely allowed and I feel confident a section piece can be added. I don't know if I will have time to do it (will try to) but endorse this happening. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:41, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
