Please, yes. I would like to have a decent template for frontends to fill in and then run all frontends with this template. Wikipedia has become simply too complicated to crib off.refdoc:talk 06:17, 9 January 2018 (MST)
It's a while since I last made a template for WikiPedia. I'll need to refresh my knowledge. Templates range from being very simple to very complicated. It's probably more a matter to just find one at the smaller end of the spectrum. David Haslam (talk) 10:06, 9 January 2018 (MST)
It turns out that my recollection is faulty, as I don't seem to have ever made a template before. I may have edited one to correct a typo, but that's about all. We're going to have to learn from scratch. There is a template data wizard though. David Haslam (talk) 10:26, 9 January 2018 (MST)
