- Manual placement of {{dabdef|Fossilization}} needs the basepagename added manually too. If follow Noel's description will need a field in the metadata for any article that is the target of the basename redirect. No other way to figure out the basename for the {{dambigbox}} template otherwise. Alternative is do have a much more manually (for example, {{dambigbox|the process in [[palaeontology]]|Fossilization}} ) template but probably better to have it placed automatically. Drawa figure to make this more comprehensible.
- Need to write a summary document describing the uses of {{RD}}, {{R}}, {{Rpl}} and {{pl}}.
- For {{R}} should probably remove the {{Dabdef}} template and just write what is required. Could then have a specific template for the disambiguation request for a definition page if it is needed (I suspect no one would use it and instead just make the disambiguation page). One exception might be Daniel in combination with the RD template at CZ:List of words with multiple uses
- Subpages template misinterprets location on the talk approval talk page (not sure I can replicate this).
- Think over subpages format. Possibly need subpages style as third layer template with intermediary ones to define the magicword variables? Initiated this, see {{Parameters1}} and {{Parameters2}} in conjunction with {{Subpages test}} and {{Subpage style test}}.
- If no footer or header add specific category to note this fact, preferably no other categories too. See homeopathy/Trials example.
- must think about the status of these sub and subsub defintion pages. Note also that they exist as definition onlys rather than recognising the existance of the basepagename.
- Lemma articles mess up the related only category such that related articles can only exist if there is some metadata. Try and write around (is this true? not sure I can replicate this either).
- Finish userplan simplification and more focus on workgroup participation.
- Fix move cluster - partially done, still need to fix approval page bug (when article has no approval page or when there is already an approval page present)
- {{Lemma}} idea, see {{Test lemma}} too. Need to utlilise the pagesize magic word so we get a lemma when there is no, or very little text in an article.
- optional photo credit
- Article task and notification list
- Metadata edits always current so should tie speedydelete etc to that one page. This will get around the maintenance categories often being out of date.
Think more about /Catalog/MasterlistsSee User_talk:Aleta_Curry#Masterlist for examples. Fix the same page blank code, At present there is a capital letter requirement bug as well as need to get second string if used. Also catalog masterlists and transclusion in general. No need to maintain information at multiple sites. Is substitution bot an option?- Figure out utlity of transcluding refs with the r template redirects.
- Make error boxes more concise and smaller.
- Finish up the periodic table navigation, specifically whether element data shoul be in a switch page on on individual subpages
{{r|Nova (astronomy)#Supernova|Supernova}} gives:
- Supernova [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Nova (astronomy)#Supernova (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
{{r|Supernova}} gives:
- Supernova [r]: An astronomical object exploding to a brightness similar to that of an entire galaxy. Caused by a catastrophic explosion of either a white dwarf system or an aged star about five times the size of the sun, which occurs when the star collapses; a neutron star or a black hole may be formed as a result, or the explosion results in no remaining compact object.

- Iteresting that the top version does not work as expected. Might need to fic the r template to asccomodate tis , if possible. 06:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Need to figure out the disconnects between the rare earths elemental classes and the template:periodic. Did uranium, but others need fixing too. See Uranium/Elemental Class
Chris, the nav tool you asked about doesn't work for me either. David E. Volk 20:13, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, and it's a great pity, as the coloured-in version looks really good. Ro Thorpe 21:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- A bit better today: clicking on the line above the space usually gets it on the 1st or 2nd try. The look is the same as before. Ro Thorpe 15:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- And now it works perfectly. Congratulations! Ro Thorpe 22:38, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, the look with the black space, etc. would be very nice. Just pleased that it works at the moment... Ro Thorpe 23:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- It's still working - but what is the change? Ro Thorpe 14:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I see all that. Many thanks & congratulations. Ro Thorpe 17:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- To the subsection, definitely. And in the case of C, there is a lot of Wikipedia stuff before it begins. Thanks for thinking of that. Ro Thorpe 18:42, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
And we're wearing dark glasses
I wish I could come up with a reason to write an article entitled "The use of unnecessary force in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers," so that you could eventually complete the line from the movie in CZ:Approval Announcements. Bruce M.Tindall 01:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Catalogs - initial indexes
Chris, I have created this list and intend to have one page for each initial, would you please format the index to work properly directing the page I created to a "B" page and create a blank "B" page also on the proper place? I'll fill it up then. I can do the rest after having the first example to follow. I might figure this out but I am sure you will have a straight better solution at first glance. I have to leave now but will be back in a few hours to go on with this. Thanks a lot, Dalton Holland Baptista 16:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
