Hey [[User:Tob|@ | Hey [[User:Tob|@Tob]], I tried tweaking the format a bit to have less wasted horizontal space. Also suggesting a new section title. You have done a great job on this, I couldn't catch you on discord today but I think we should have this be the official format. If you have the time I would love your help getting some more standard templates down. [[User:Kostas|Kostas]] ([[User talk:Kostas|talk]]) 00:02, 21 January 2025 (UTC) | ||
:I believe I've created a much better foundation for something that could be used across the whole wiki. | |||
:Here's what I did: | |||
:#Reworked the format to fit the other page types better (originally it only worked for products and single product companies) | |||
:#Created templates for each page type | |||

::This is great work but there are some issues that are entirely due to my misscommunication. I will add you to a thread on discord and add them here after I write them out there. [[User:Kostas|Kostas]] ([[User talk:Kostas|talk]]) 16:22, 24 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
::Hey @[[User:Tob|Tob]], I'm recreating my messages on the Discord in case you/anyone else wants to chime in here. | |||
::Regarding the new version of the example pages: | |||
::1. Individuals should not have an example template like this as it would counter some things laid out in the [[Living Persons Policy]] on the wiki. We are really hesitant to include most individual pages due to the issues laid out there anyway so an easier way to make them would likely result in a lot of deletions. | |||
::2. I missspoke or more accurately I did not have a clear view in my head of what the creation system would look like and how it would function when I called these templates. The layout as a normal page we were working with at the start is more in line with what we need. I really am sorry you did all the work to lay the templates out. I should have been a lot more careful with my word choice, "template" was an unfortunate choice. | |||
::For reference repair.wiki has a system here : https://repair.wiki/w/RepairWiki:Create that we would like to use as a basin on what to implement but we need one more extension before we start recreating all functionality. If you inspect source a few times you will see that in ends up invoking a page much like the one you initially had created. I made the template with the boxes to add to that more as a component of that initial page. | |||
::As far as new proposed content: | |||
::I see you omitted the transparency section from the original page. I have no objections to that as, as part of the next step I wanted your input in dissambiguating each of those subsections | |||
::We should also add indicators of when its time to break off to a product (productline/service etc) when writing an incident on a company page to avoid duplication. For example if Meta. Facebook and a facebook incident exist, Meta should link to the product facebook which in turn would have a summary of incidents and links to the incident pages regarding facebook. If in turn a company is not as large/does not have quite as many incidents as facebook (eg Bambu) it would have a summary and link to the incident in the company page itself. Cutoff would be when the company page gets to a point where the table of contents is half the inital screen. | |||
::In the same vain we should add that Products/Companies should not contain incident summaries on to themselves. | |||
::Keep in mind this is my opinion, based on the [[Article Types]] and my understanding so far. We should see if @[[User:Keith|Keith]] agrees and what his thoughts are, as well as anyone elses. | |||

Fantastic, looks good. Templates are a great idea. It might be a good idea to turn each page type into it's own template. | |||
I'll be working on this a bit today and will be reachable via Discord. [[User:Tob|Tob]] ([[User talk:Tob|talk]]) 23:28, 22 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
:Hey, we are probably in very different timezones because I am just about asleep. However I will take a look tommorow and give some input. The inention is to make templates for all page types in time. [[User:Kostas|Kostas]] ([[User talk:Kostas|talk]]) 23:58, 22 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
