But no abuse.
(Good suggestions)
(But no abuse.)
Line 9:
For my examples, I have often just directly written <nowiki>[[Category:E examples needing attention]]</nowiki> (sometimes with a HTML comment) to put it in the category without any bold notice box. I think it would be not a bad idea to have both "incomplete" (does not yet meet task criteria, but is useful to present anyway) and "inelegant" ("does not meet the quality my language's examples ought to have"). The latter, in particular, should be a particularly quiet box -- e.g. no colored backgrond, maybe even smaller text and/or collapsed until clicked. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 00:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
:I think we tried reasonably hard to get the collapsible text boxes and it didn't go so well. Anyone is welcome to try again though. The second of your ideas is definitely useful. The first one might be too but I can't think of where. Wouldn't be so bad to have it lying around. Does any one of those three look like it can be removed? --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 01:01, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 
Hi, I think that as stated, it may be a good idea; but it could be open to abuse - i.e. writing the barest of attempts at too small a part of a problem. People need to know that it if the task is written as a series of sub-tasks then it might be good to use the templates if an entry attempts most of the sub-tasks; but it might be best to not have an entry at all if you are attempting only a few subtasks?
 
Their is also the case of what happens if an entry has the template on for "a considerable time" and clearly does not complete the task or a significant part of the task? Maybe we should also have a "completion needed" flag so someone could mark an entry for completion or deletion after a reasonable period? I guess I would not like to see RC filled with mere place-holder entries, (that is not the case at present). Just my thoughts --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 03:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
