So, I'm here today for this Request for Comments that if passed, can potentially help new users in developing their newly created wiki. This RfC would only be applied to wikis that has been created after this proposal passes and technical stuffs related to this has been done.
Introduction[edit | edit source]
Whiles having a conversation in Miraheze's Discord about templates on wiki (starts here), some of the people in the convo believe that new users should have access to certain basic but helpful template, just like how FANDOM does with their wiki when created.
These proposal are as follows:
- Proposal 1: Preload templates in the proposal by default when create the wiki using Special:CreateWiki
- Proposal 1.1: Make it toggle-able while requesting a wiki using Special:RequestWiki
- Proposal 2: Infobox should be sourced from the Miraheze Dev Wiki
- Proposal 3: Infobox should be a bare bone template, that uses PortableInfobox as the base.
- Proposal 4: Rewrite default Main Page to have mentions to Miraheze Dev Wiki and the preloaded templates.

Proposal 1: Allows preloading templates when creating a new wiki from Special:CreateWiki[edit | edit source]
Those templates shall include:
- Infobox;
- Licensing boxes for image pages;
- Article status; and
- Citation templates.
Except for the infobox (which will be decided with Proposal 2 or 3), all of those template should be sourced from Miraheze Dev Wiki. Pisces (talk) 15:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposal 3: Infobox should be a bare bone template, that uses PortableInfobox as the base[edit | edit source]
If this passes, the Infobox template would be a bare bone template of an basic infobox that uses PortableInfobox as the base, which also means that PortableInfobox has to be enabled by default if that happens. Pisces (talk) 15:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
