[edit] Overhaul

I am currently working on giving this wikiprojects templates and template section an overhaul. Creating new templates, making sure the existing templates are listed, etc. Feel free to join in! Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 13:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest that "Airbus aircraft" be retitled "Airbus" in line with the other manufacturers (other than Boeing). Askari Mark | Talk 18:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

That is what i was actually going to try to get some conesnsus on here. Should navigation templates for comapny specific aircraft be names {{"companyname" aircraft}} or just {{"company name"}}. It is thoretically possible that these companies could have navigation templates for the companies and subsidaries. What does everybody think? - Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, I think the templates might be better named "XYZ aircraft" as there are some templates out there for individual corporations themselves and referencing either general corporate information or else a broader range of its products (not just aircraft). Askari Mark | Talk 21:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, I think the corporation navtemplates should be purged altogether. Karl Dickman ^talk 01:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Are you talking about the aircraft navigation boxes, such as {{Cessna}} or the ones for corporations? - Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 01:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{Airspec-imp}}

I found this template transcluded to the XA-16 article. I {{Subst:}} the template into the article and then went back and reverted the edits. --Born2flie 14:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{Future aircraft}}

New template for tagging aircraft or variants in design or development. Examples would be the Bell ARH-70, HH-47, and CH-53K. --Born2flie 14:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Airreg

Template:Airreg has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — A. B. ^(talk) 19:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vickers aircraft

Hi, I wonder if somone could create a Vickers aircraft template? A lot of articles could use it. I don't have a clue how to make one, perhaps I should learn if I knew where to start. Cheers Nimbus227 (talk) 19:08, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Just do what the rest of do - steal one from another company. Seriously. If no one else offers to take this up soon, just send me a list of all the article links that should be included, and I can set a template up. The rest should be pretty simple, mostly just adding in missed links, and adding the template to Vickers pages. - BillCJ (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Engine manufacturer navbox templates

We have some in the project but they don't seem to be listed here, any objections to adding them under the aircraft manufacturers with a separate heading? Nimbus (talk) 19:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

No objection. MilborneOne (talk) 19:28, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Great, they seem to have been missed as they are not categorised (yet), they might need a new category. Will list them as I find them. Cheers Nimbus (talk) 19:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
