Template talk:Todo

Example use of todo mentioning adding an image

The example use for todo Mario Kart includes a bullet point for "add image of course", which I feel would cause confusion from how that is what Template:Image is for. A todo for "add image" would not get categorized properly, and could cause a request to get buried in an unrelated area. Now, if a todo is being used as a "hey, this article is in development, these things are planned by [USER]", then that seems like a good use case for a todo asking for an image, as it is more of the user promising that these things will get done, not a request that the user making cannot complete on their own. I'm not sure if I am looking into this too deeply, or if this could use a change or clarification. --Spencer PK (talk) 03:15, March 16, 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I see that the example has been adjusted, thanks! Self-replying so future users know this is resolved. --Spencer PK (talk) 16:23, March 16, 2026 (UTC)

Multiple subjects

In scenarios where information on a large span of topics are needed (for example: History section needing information on a variety of games), are editors supposed to use multiple templates? If not, can the template be modified to allow multiple subjects?--TheCatLover738 (talk) 23:28, March 16, 2026 (UTC)

adding more than one template works properly (see Water at the time of writing), so maybe just doing that will suffice for now. — eviemaybe (talk) 00:02, March 17, 2026 (UTC)

Looking at Water, the lack of subject categories is certainly a problem. Say someone is looking to provide all information on every Wario Land game, they would not find water because it does not have the category to convey such information is missing. --TheCatLover738 (talk) 00:39, March 17, 2026 (UTC)

Subject-specific notices

For the subject-specific notices, what about articles that need information trimmed down like Super Pyoro and the pages that were tagged with {{rewrite-remove}}? Saying it "needs information" doesn't really make sense in this case; maybe "This (subject)-related article needs improvement"? Mario JC 11:11, March 23, 2026 (UTC)

I think those categories are supposed to be specifically for when more information is needed. Therefore if an article needs to have info removed or reformatted it should be tagged with the basic {{todo}} and not a subject variant.--Steve (talk) 13:31, March 23, 2026 (UTC)

Gotcha. Mario JC 11:57, March 24, 2026 (UTC)
