{{userpage}} or {{user page}}
For a table in my (or other users) pages

space for a picture (180px, I guess)and then:
- born:13 august 1991/1991
- status:Not and administrator/administrator
- Areas of Interest:Mathematics, Cryptography
- other
and then a secondary title
Languages
followed by:
- En-1 template, paragraph and:
- sv template (or whatever other language)
Unbelievable, but there's no such template yet!
See this user page to get an idea
Request #1
A template for high schools (or even all institutions of education). I was looking for one and didn't see it, but:
- am I looking in the wrong place?
- am I asking in the wrong place?
- should I be the one doing it? If so, how?
I know that there are lots of pages on different U.S. High schools. I just didn't see any common theme.

Extended Biography Template
I would like an extended biography template that has more than simply dates of birth and death. In particular I would like to have slots for standard biblographic data such as:
- Education
- Nationality
- Occupation(s)
The advantage of having this in template form is that it is then possible to build better query interfaces and would eventually allow a large number of categories to be dispensed with such as Irish Engineers which is really just the intersection of two categories that could each be compiled automatically by a bot. Equally a lot of silly lists could be avoided. For more info on these ideas see my user page.
The existing template seems to be very limited, am I just looking in the wrong place?
One objection to this might be performance but I would rather look into ways to improve performance. For example locking the template to prevent graphiti designed to cause a massive sequence of collateral edits. --Gorgonzilla 20:44, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Number of Contributions
I would like a template that displays the numer of edits a user had made. I know Wikipeda has a way of counting edits. I have made a "dummy template" below to illistrate what I want. A "dummy template" is not actually a template, it is a Divbox that has been placed into the article.
{{contrib|user=UserNameHere}} Would expand into
The number 00 represents the number of edits that apply to the coresponding edit types, it is not necessarily going to always be zero, or two digits (a real zero would look like 0). "Articles edited" means the number of aricles that the user has edited at least once, including article creations. The same principle applies to Talk, Project, and template pages.
this is just a suggestion, It is less likely a completed virsion (if any) would resemple this "dummy template"
The problem is that I have no idea where to get those numbers from. Is there a way? or would an Admin have to create a {{TOTALEDITS}} function that returns a single numerical value (number of edits)?

- Perhaps something similar to Kate's tool. — Kjammer ⌂ 06:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Photoshop
I would appreciate a vanity template for a Babel tag that says "I am (a beginning/intermediate/expert) Photoshop user." Thanks for your help. Denni☯ 00:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
SectionCopy
I don't know if there's another way to do this (if so, please tell me: talk), but I've often found that I need to copy certain information between articles. Besides this being tedious, it also causes problems, for instance when one instance of the information is updated, and then the copy remains untouched. It also means that correctly updating pieces of information across WikiPedia involves multiple article edits.
- Here's an example:
- On the Stargate SG-1 page, there is information about when each Season of the show is released on DVD. This information is also available, in less detail, on the List of Stargate SG-1 episodes page, which lists each of the aforementioned Seasons.
What I want to be able to do is, on the List of Stargate SG-1 episodes page, add {{SectionCopy|Stargate SG-1|DVD releases}} and then have that section of the Stargate SG-1 actively rendered into the List of Stargate SG-1 episodes article.
Optionally, it would be even more helpful to be able to copy just small sections of sections, by placing marker templates in the source article. So, for instance:
- Source Article#Section
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
{{SectionCopy|open}}
Important Bit
{{SectionCopy|close}}
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
- Destination Article#Section
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
{{SectionCopy|Source Article|Section|use-tags}}
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Obviously the {{SectionCopy|open}} and {{SectionCopy|close}} tags are invisible on the actual page.
This is 'SectionCopy' only because we don't want full articles to be copied across WikiPedia; if you need to copy more than a section then you're doing something wrong.
If this is already available, I'd love to know about it, and if it's not, why on earth not!? This would be so helpful, and thankyou to anyone who codes this. --alfakim 21:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
User ar-0
Can someone please make a language template for user ar-0? Anyone who knows Arabic can do this, just take Template:User ar-1 and edit it to resemble Template:User en-0 :) I don't know enough Arabic to make this. -- Ynhockey 22:33, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Ok I got someone to write this template, but it should probably be wikified. See Template:User ar-0 -- Ynhockey 23:01, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Middle Ages Project
Hi, it would be nice to have a template that can be used on relevant article talk pages that announces the existence of the Middle Ages Community Group and invites interested wikipedians to read or join in the project. The Middle Ages group is long established and has many members. Any ideas or help appreciated. Stbalbach 20:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
