Guidelines
I'd like for our first project to be creation of guidelines (as an extension of WW:MOS) for all templates, particularly in the following areas:


 * Categorization
 * Documentation
 * Functionality (how they work and display on page)

For the first point templates are generally fairly well categorized already (about as well as main namespace pages) but I think it may be helpful to review that and to specify in greater detail which templates go where.

Documentation is always nice, I'd like to create guidelines for at least minimal documentation for templates, how the template should be explained, any examples, etc.

Functionality is important, there are a lot of templates which do the same thing, just display differently (and all templates should at least look nice on the site in all skins). These templates could be easily merged by adding a few parameters. And the infobox definition in WW:MOS could possibly use a little tweaking.

Any comments on the above ideas? -- 13:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
