Heyyyyyyy can someone please edit these instructions? Maybe the mystery 82 IP? I'm not good at these sorts of things, and I would like assistance with etiquette, rules surrounding templates, etc. --DollarStoreBa'alconverse 16:15, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- When I made a correction, you just made it wrong again. (Hint: what does Template:someTemplateName look like..?) I'm not correcting it again.
- There are plenty of instructional pages 'out there', for those with the patience to learn. I'm not supportive of "Hey guys, all you need to do is ...blah blah blah..., and now let us all create many new templates, most of which will be infoboxes!". Can't stop you, but I won't encourage it.
- My remaining advice is, as already said elsewhere by me and others: Know what you want any given template for. Which you've pretty much failed to do, in almost every attempt (including this one - it's not even a very good use for a template). And if you do think of something that's useful, not just something for yourself, propose it in the Portal area. Let it be discussed. Check that there's nothing like it, or an easier way of doing it. Above all, work out the right name before you even create Template:someSillyNameXYZ123, so you don't have to move it (or mark it for deletion) down the line.
- This is as far as I'm now inclined to go, and it's as much my final(?) instructions to you, personally. I wouldn't have even seen this page, except I misclicked on your edit instead of the one I was hoping to read. 82.132.186.65 21:24, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
