[edit] Self-reference?

Per WP:ASR, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to include the Wikipedia Manual of Style in this template. OTOH, it is useful, and provides some good general style advice (though it doesn't apply to all types of writing). szyslak 00:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

It is a "style guide" for Wikipedia and already linked via the pages on the style guides and Style guide in that article's top template. It was not originally listed properly. It is not an "international" style guide; it is simply the "Manual of Style" for Wikipedia articles. It is not appropriate in this template in the articles on style guides; in this template it violates Wikipedia's own policy not to refer to itself as a published source. The article Style guide provides further guides and links to a whole host of such style guides, many more of which could be provided in this template (but not all of them). --NYScholar 22:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub

I think that this template needs a stub category. It was not in very useful format and it was misleading in an earlier version. It could be much more useful and a much better template for style guides with articles in Wikipedia. --NYScholar 22:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] it was too wide - but no longer

Much better - thanks. - DavidWBrooks 16:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
