{{tl}} Template

Do we already have a template similar to the {{tl}} template they have at Wikipedia? If not, would anybody mind if I created it (albeit with much simpler documentation)? It's quite useful and saves a lot of nowiki tags everywhere. :) --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 03:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Whoa, I'm shocked I haven't seen that one. I think we should use it! –Elliot ^talk 03:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

We may also want {{tlx}} and {{tlp}}, which would be especially useful on the Help:Templates page, if nowhere else. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 03:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've re-created the {{tl}} template. Could one of you template-y types have a look at both it and the docs and see if I've done everything correctly? It probably needs categories, but I don't do much in the way of page/tempate creation, so I honestly haven't looked at how to do categories and I wouldn't know which one(s) to put it in anyway.

Next question: should I import tl2, tlp, and tlx, or should I try to combine tl/tl2 and tlp/tlx, or should I even try to combine all four? Tl and tl2 are probably good just for the fact that they're small, but I'm not sure if it's necessary to separate them and the tlp/tlx pair just for a font change. I don't know if the monospaced font can be put as a parameter, but I suspect that should be doable, if challenging for me, given my current knowledge of template creation. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 02:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, at long last, all four templates are now done. I didn't rip them straight from Wikipedia, instead opting to combine the styles from each of them on Wikipedia (they're drastically different, there) and harmonize them. I also opted to keep all four under the same names as Wikipedia uses, just to make the knowledge-transfer from one to the other a little easier. Can someone have a look over them when they have a chance, just to make sure I didn't do anything massively wrong? Thanks! —Robin Hood ^{(Talk • E-mail • Contribs)} 20:00, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
