Soyjak Wiki:Template question/2

This topic relates to this very wiki
Here be edit wars, censorship and template spam.

Still not actually announced yet via the wiki sitenotice award

This page is a ruby. (You) VILL help by further refining it into a gem.

There are currently far more templates than there were in the last Template Question. You WILL go to Soyjak Wiki:Template and add and rate as many as you can find. Templates are sorted by the template list page they're on, and then sorted by their quality tier. There are 4 tiers per template type:

Gems - Very few problems, if any. Strongest usecases.
Iron - These templates have some problems, but they're acceptable due to a good usecase. Also contains templates that have niche usecases but are otherwise perfectly fine.
Coal - These templates have few redeeming qualities, if any, or have a usecase entirely usurped by other templates (if they weren't redundant on arrival), and require improvement if possible to avoid being removed.
Deleted - Archived renditions of deleted templates explaining their problems that lead to their deletion, assuming someone bothered to save their formatting code before deletion.

Only use the Deleted tier for templates you think were deleted specifically because of this project.

Gems[edit | edit source]

Template	Appearance	Reasoning
{{Savedtheparty}}	[TOPIC] is the gem that saved the Party!	+ Small + Better than Vantawhite/Supernova for extremely high quality party saving topics
{{Killedtheparty}}	[TOPIC] is the coal that is killing the Party!	+ Small + Very necessary to differentiate coal that kills the party from general brimstone
{{CoalShort}}	[TOPIC] is coal.	+ Small + Very necessary
{{Coal}}	This page is coal. (You) VILL* help by completely recarbonizing it.*	+ Small + Necessary + Great call to action
{{CustomQuality}}	[TOPIC] is [RATING].	+ Just generally useful for one-offs + Would be useful for coalescing all the various quality templates that have a reason to exist on a few specific articles (assuming they're not just one-offs) but otherwise don't need to clog up the template list
{{Dust}}	This page is dust...* (You) can try expanding it, but it will most likely fade into nothingness...*	+ Small + Useful to flag stub articles about forgettable topics - Discourages contributors to expand the article
{{DustShort}}	[TOPIC] is dust...	+ Small + Good for forgettable topics
{{Brimstone}}	[TOPIC] IS ASS-RAPING CALIFORNIAN BRIMSTONE BRUTALLY GOONED UPON BY THE MOST SOYLITA-LOVING JARTYCUCKS OF JAHANNAM!!!!!!!!!!!	+ Funny randomization + Needed to mark something as very coal - Sometimes overused; often feels forced
{{Gem}}	This page is a gem.	+ Small + Necessary + Can’t really be improved
{{GemShort}}	[TOPIC] is a gem.	+ Small + Very necessary
{{Tanzanite}}	This page is a Tanzanite Trvthnvke.	+ Small + Great for a specific type of article
{{Topaz}}	This page is a topaz.	+ Small + Good for high quality schizo articles, as opposed to Template:Schizo
{{TopazShort}}	[TOPIC] is a topaz.	+ Small - Little amount of topics that can be labeled as a topaz, like NuSoyish
{{IronicGem}}	This page, ironically, is a gem.	+ Small + Funny + Some coal topics have good articles

Iron[edit | edit source]


Template	Appearance	Reasoning
{{GemeraldShort}}	[TOPIC] is a gemerald.	+ Small - More prone to overuse due to being a "<quality> but more" template - Currently has an identical usecase to Gem since there isn't a dividing line between the two so they're entirely interchangeable. Probably best off being changed so it marks pages good enough to get featured by the wiki (via the main page or guides for editors) as that's a clear and agreeable standard for when something becomes a Gemerald and not just a gem. It's a bit odd how we have so many templates for absurdly niche usecases yet we don't have a template to mark featured articles yet. This should be turned into one.
{{Gemerald}}	This page is a gemerald.	+- Same as GemeraldShort
{{Antimatter}}	☯︎ ☸︎☞︎🕆︎👍︎😐︎🕿︎ ✆︎✋︎❄︎❀︎ ❝︎💣︎✡︎☯︎ ☸︎☠︎✋︎☝︎☝︎✌︎🕿︎ ✆︎✋︎❄︎🕯︎💧︎❀︎ ❝︎✌︎☠︎❄︎✋︎💣︎✌︎❄︎❄︎☜︎☼︎☯︎ ☸︎✏︎✏︎	- One of the way-too-many exaggerated versions of coal + Kind of needed to distinguish illegal content from your regular old coal. Maybe redesign it to better clarify this purpose?
{{RubyShort}}	[TOPIC] is a ruby.	+ Small - Somewhat of an overlap with Template:Iron - Albeit less useful since it implies someone should go out of their way to polish the topic itself into a gem
{{Ruby}}	This page is a ruby. (You) VILL* help by further refining it into a gem.*	+ Used for stub articles that'd otherwise be gems - Some overlap with Stub - Confuses article quality with topic quality
{{Vantablack}}	[TOPIC] is darker than coal...	+ Stepping stone between Coal and Brimstone - It seems like we did fine without it
{{Tranzanite}}	This page is a Tranzanite Falsenvke.	+ Small + Good for joke articles or supporter perspectives (but why would a supporter of something call it a falsenuke though?) ← if the main article is a detractor perspective and issa tanzanite then the supporter perspective is not therefore issa tranzanite ok? ← i really do not think you know what the word perspective means - Then again, it's a very niche usecase - Overlaps with Template:Lies or Template:Bias
{{Vantapurple}}	[TOPIC] is an nonsensically nonsensical vantablorpalge margerald from the intangible surface of the Sun!	+ Small - Some overlap with {{TopazShort}} - Would likely require rebranding if Vantawhite/Vantablack get cut because otherwise it'd be odd to have just Vantapurple

Coal[edit | edit source]

Template	Appearance	Reasoning
{{Supernova}}, {{Vantawhite}}	[TOPIC] 𝕀𝕊 𝔸ℕ 𝔼𝕏𝕋ℝ𝔼𝕄𝔼𝕃𝕐 𝕊𝕋𝔸𝔹𝕃𝔼 𝕊𝕌ℙ𝔼ℝℕ𝕆𝕍𝔸 𝔽𝕆ℝ𝔾𝔼𝔻 𝕀ℕ 𝔸 𝕎ℍ𝕀𝕋𝔼ℍ𝕆𝕃𝔼 𝕋ℍ𝔸𝕋 𝕊𝔸𝕍𝔼𝕊 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝕊𝕆𝕐𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕊𝔼!!!!!!! [TOPIC] IS A TRAUMA-ERASING VANTAWHITE TREASURE STRAIGHT FROM THE FREEZING PEAKS OF MOUNT EVEREST!!!!!!!!!!!	- Just use Gemerald or Savedtheparty. These are unnecessary
{{Singularity}}	[TOPIC] I̸S̴ ̷AN̵—— ̷EX̵TREM̸EL̷Y̵ —V̵O̵LAT̵I̵LE̴— ̸A̵N̸TIM̵A̸TT̸ER̸— ̵SING̸U̸L̸A̸RI̸T̵Y̶ ̷F̸O̷RM̸E̸D̶ ̵I̸N̴ ̴A̶ ̶B̸LA̵C̵K̴H̸O̸LE̷— ̴THAT̴— ̴D̵O̵O̵M̵S̵ ̶T̷H̵E̴— E̵N̷TI̷RE̵— ̵S̸OY̷VER̷S̵E̸!!!!!!!	- A tit-for-tat mirror of Supernova. This has a bit of a use in topaz articles though.
{{YinYang}}	《[TOPIC]》是宇宙和諧的一個例子。	- Apparently it's just Template:Equinox but for gook topics.
{{RustShort}}	This page is rust.	- Same as rust, a template deleted for being a useless reskin of Coal
{{Vantagray}}	[TOPIC] is okay iron from the lukewarm surface of Mulattopurgatorium.	- Has no use different to Equinox or Iron
{{Vantaschrodinger}}	[TOPIC] is the gem that is saving the Party!	- Similar to ChaoticEquinox - Confusing due to random effect - No article uses it
{{Iron}}	[TOPIC] is iron.	+ Small - If something is iron (soyspeak for neutral) it doesn't really need a template. Allegedly it has an alternate usecase in annoying edit warriors trying to claim something is gem/coal, but that's easier to resolve via talkpages.
{{Equinox}}	[TOPIC] is a neutralized equinox combined with enchanted iron and enhanced carbon that did NOT save nor destroy the soyverse.	- Basically just another version of iron. - Has some usecase for controversial topics that average to iron but theres already a template for that. - Its text is just saying "this topic didn't save nor destroy the soyverse" which is redundant as 99.9% of things haven't done so. We might as well have a template saying "This page is hosted on the Soyjak Wiki" at that point.

Deleted[edit | edit source]

Template	Appearance (Archive)	Reasoning
{{Rust}}	[TOPIC] is rust.	- Useless area between coal and iron - Unlike ruby, nophono will turn coal into iron
{{IronicCoal}}	This page, ironically, is coal. (You) VILL* help by completely recarbonizing it.*	- For a stub article about a gemmy topic, you can use Template:Ruby instead. Ironically, this template itself is ironic coal.
{{ChaoticEquinox}}	[TOPIC] is an extremely volatile chaotic* equinox consisting of the most hellish and heavenly materials that both KILLED and SAVED the soyverse.*	- Very little usecase (besides "controversial" but we already had a template for that) - Just a more extreme version of Equinox, making it neutral, a space already shared with four other ratings
