User:Ederchil/Templates
Here are some templates I'd like to propose... fire away if you want to. I chose some non-standard quotes, because I like them. It does redlink, but that's of later concern. Maybe some of them are too big, and a simple line will do.
Actor
My growing frustrations about the size of these things made me write a new version. I made the text smaller, but it's still readable, and made the characters spring out more. Oh, and instead of {{{name}}} I did the easier {{PAGENAME}}. That's why it says "Ederchil/Templates".
- Edit: I actually wanted to put a hide/show button on there, but it requires another template, usually called {{!}}, because the pipe has a different meaning with #if conditions. Wikipedia and Wookieepedia do have that special template, but I think it's a little premature to make such a superficial template here.

Featured Article Nominee
At the request of Quidon88, a header for FA nominees, calling registered users to pass their judgment. Quote is from Cirion & Eorl.
"Let us go now to the place that I have prepared" - Cirion

- I implemented this template, and installed it on the three nominated articles. Thanks for your work in designing this template--it's beyond me.--Theoden1 10:21, 8 July 2008 (EDT)
- Uhm... I looked up Wikipedia:Web colors, and copied the tabletalk of the cleanup template. No big. Copy, paste, adapt. Like I did with all those infoboxes in my profile.
Claimed
I saw a template for "claimed" articles on another wikia. It's basically to tell editors to lay low, so no edit conflicts occur, or if someone is doing a major revision, the structure of the text does not get messed up. It's dedicated to Theoden1 ;), and I gave it a Leaf by Niggle quote. This could replace the stub or cleanup template.
"I oughtn't to interrupt you, I know. [...] You are very busy, I'm sure" - Mr. Parish

Or some others, a bit more crass perhaps...
"This is a private studio", said Niggle. "I am busy. Go away!"

NO ADMITTANCE EXCEPT ON PARTY BUSINESS

HoMe
For people, things or events that appeared only in HoMe.
"Oh, Tinwelint, richest of kings, dost thou think these things are fair?"' - Ufedhin
|
Adaptation
To distinguish movie-verse from bookverse. One banner suits all franchises, I deem.

Non-Middle-earth
Since we're Tolkien Gateway, and not Middle-earth Gateway, a clear message telling readers this is not Middle-earth might be helpful.
Fiction
"Oh God, no more Elves"' - Hugo Dyson

Real-world
"Her name was Ava Gardner, but it still ment nothing..."' - J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 267
