Category talk:Templates using ParserFunctions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Categories for discussion This category was nominated for deletion, renaming, or merging with another category on 2006 June 15. The result of the discussion was keep.

[edit] Making this more useful

We should probably have sub-categories for which ParserFunctions are used. Maybe these?

  • Category:Templates using if
  • Category:Templates using ifeq
  • Category:Templates using ifexpr
  • Category:Templates using switch
  • Category:Templates using expr

(Or, if we want to be more verbose, we could name them Templates using ParserFunction xxxx).

BTW, I asked Tim on IRC if it would be possible to have some sort of Whatlinkshere-magic for finding pages using ParserFunctions and he said it might be. But until then, I think we should try and come up with a way of categorizing templates by which function(s) they use. Thoughts? —Locke Coletc 01:25, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chemistry templates

Should we put the chemistry templates ({{Hydrogen}}, {{Oxygen}}, etc...) in their own category, since there are so many of them?--Max Talk (add) 18:02, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do we need this

This is category creep. Eventually, the majority of templates will either incorporate at least a couple parser functions or become obselete. — Jun. 9, '06 [14:50] <freak|talk>

Hi Freak. I created this out of fear we'd have a hard time finding the PF using templates. But I agree with your sentiment. If that PF stuff is stable enough (as it seems so), there isn't much reason for this cat here anymore. I wouldn't have a problem if you nominate this for deletion. --Ligulem 14:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
BTW, thanks for fixing the many images which were added to this category. I've informed the user about it. For a new proposal see WT:SUBST. -- Omniplex 17:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
