About this template
I started this template, obviously, as a navigation template (using {{Navbox}}) for articles relating to Peak oil. Things to do:
- Determine the most suitable WikiProject for the template (probably Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy).
- Determine suitable categories for the template itself (the template does not automatically categorize articles that transcludeit, nor should it, in my opinion).
- Write a documentation subpage (which need not be fancy, since the template usage is obvious).

- Done:
- I listed the template at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy#Navigation templates.
- I categorized the template in: [[:Category:Natural science and nature-related navigation templates]].
- I wrote Template:Peak oil/doc.

- Now the category has moved to: Category:Natural science and nature navigation templates. --Teratornis (talk) 17:39, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Related film?
The 2006 film Who Killed the Electric Car? does not refer to peak oil, much like OPEC, but it is closely related to a number of peak oil issues. Should it be listed? - Shiftchange (talk) 21:05, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. See {{]
- I'd consider OPEC more directly related to peak oil, because OPEC accounts for such a large fraction of the international oil trade, and an even larger fraction of the world's (allegedly) proven reserves. Present and former OPEC officials have explicitly commented on peak oil, and OPEC hosts international meetings to discuss the global allocation of oil supplies. OPEC is clearly a player on the subject of peak oil. Also, it's easier to fit a four-letter acronym than a five-word film title on the {{Peak oil}} template. --Teratornis (talk) 01:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- I created {{Energy films}}. Please add any additional energy-related film articles you find. --Teratornis (talk) 04:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
