Template:Todo

This article needs improvement. Specifically:

This template and its subject variants were created per proposal. They allow users to enter a to-do list regarding what an article needs.

Usage

The subject variants should only be used when an article needs more information related to that subject. For tasks such as reformatting or removing information, the basic {{todo}} tag should be used without any subjects specified.

Parameters

• A section= parameter, to mark only a section of the article as incomplete;
• A user= parameter, if the article is actively being worked on by one or more users;
• A list= parameter for entering a bullet-point list describing what the article needs (required);
• A hide= parameter for collapsing very long lists behind a show/hide toggle (set to "yes")

Examples

General

{{todo|user={{user|Mario}} and {{user|EvieMaybe}}|list=
*Rewrite and fix poor grammar
}}

Subject-specific

{{todo Mario Kart|section=yes|list=
*Add course 1 description
*Add course 2 description
}}

Multiple subjects

{{todo|subject1=Mario Kart|subject2=Mario Party|subject3=Mario & Luigi|list=
*Add history of Mario
*Add history of Luigi
}}

New subjects

Unlike standalone notice templates, users may create new todo subject templates without a proposal as long as there is a reasonable need for them. See below for how to create one, replacing all instances of "[SUBJECT NAME]" with the actual name of the new subject.

The template

Create a page named Template:Todo [SUBJECT NAME] with the following content:

{{todo|subject=[SUBJECT NAME]|section={{{section|}}}|user={{{user|}}}|list={{{list|}}}|hide={{{hide|}}}}}<noinclude>[[Category:To-do notices]]</noinclude>

The category

Create a page named Category:Articles in need of [SUBJECT NAME] information with the following content:

These articles need more [SUBJECT NAME] information, as outlined in their to-do lists. Tagged with {{tem|todo [SUBJECT NAME]}}. __HIDDENCAT__ __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__

[[Category:Articles with to-do lists]]

Replace the "Articles with to-do lists" category with a more specific subcategory down the category tree where possible.
