Membership Templates
Hello. I wanted to help with the membership templates, but unfortunately, the documentation isn't easy enough. Could you please:
Write up a doc for creating(not using) the subtemplates(something like {{Infobox officeholder}}'s doc), with the sections for different organizations separated, and each parameter with a comment on its usage.
Tag in the doc which parameters are optional
Then, anyone would be able to create them. Thanks.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 16:11, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Requests for ribbons
Could I get a ribbon for this if possible? :) --

An odd request, but sure, I guess. You should know that almost no one ever uses ribbons though.
It is awesome! Thanks! :) Take a look at my userpage for my ribbon usage> :)
I have a problem though, I just added borders to User:とある白い猫/Ribbon which looks awful when I put these together in a group. Do you know a good way to make it so that if two bordered elelments are next to each other, border is hidden?
Feel free to use that ribbon template as you see fit. The black stars represent multiple awarding of the same barnstar. :) --

Please do not mirror conversations like this. I will not follow both locations, I'll only follow the original one, and when the same conversation happens in two places, it inevitably diverges into two no longer identical conversations.
Hi とある白い猫. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing
Twinkle
.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of
good faith edits
.
Rollback should never be used to
edit war
.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see
Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY(TALK) 06:23, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply
Hi there. Sorry I haven't been able to create more templates, been a bit busy. I've just updated the doc with interpol parameters. Will create more templates now. Also, what's wrong with Wikipedia:International membership templates/2011? Some templates are linking instead of transclusion. Has it hit some kind of transclusion limit? Thanks--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 03:58, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We have hit the limit yes, but that is a technical problem I hope to resolve in the upcoming days. I am busy with a few real world events but once those are resolved by Friday I'll be able to spend more time on redesigning the template structure (without changing how data is inputted) so transclusion limit problem is averted. Thank you for the updates on Interpol in doc. Interpol values actually need to be added to most of the templates as thankfully we now have the PDF of membership dates! I deserve no credit for the PDF as
