Hello,

Please could an autoconfirmed editor create Template:Did you know nominations/All You Need Is Death with the following text bookended with two curly brackets:

subst:NewDYKnomination | article = All You Need Is Death | status = new | hook = ... that when a prospective funder described his script for horror film All You Need Is Death as "weird and confusing", director Paul Duane chose to get the phrase tattooed on his arm and fund it himself?

Request for a New Template: Infobox Islamic Prayer (Infobox Salah)

I would like to propose the creation of a new infobox template specifically for Islamic prayers, tentatively named Infobox Islamic Prayer or Infobox Salah. This template would be extremely useful for the many Wikipedia articles related to Islamic prayers, including:

The five daily obligatory prayers: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha
Jumu‘ah (Friday) prayer
Funeral prayer (Salat al-Janazah)
Eid prayers
Voluntary and special prayers such as Tahajjud, Duha, Fajr nafl prayer, Witr, Tarawih, Istikhara, Salat al-Tawbah, Rain prayer (Salat al-Istisqa)
Eclipse prayer (Salat al-Kusuf / Khusuf)
Sign prayer (Salat al-ayat)
And many more

Currently, there is no dedicated infobox that caters to the unique characteristics of Islamic prayers. A standardized template would improve consistency, accessibility, and the presentation of detailed information across all related articles.

Suggested Parameters

General Parameters

name: Common English name of the prayer
native_name: Arabic or local script
meaning: Literal or religious meaning of the prayer's name
image: Representative image (optional)
image_caption: Caption for the image
description: Brief explanation or significance of the prayer

Islamic Prayer-Specific Parameters

type: Obligatory (Fard), recommended (Sunnah prayer), voluntary (Nafl), etc.
sub_type: Fard ‘Ayn, Fard Kifayah, Sunnah Mu’akkadah, Sunnah Ghair Mu’akkadah, Nafl, etc.
rakaah_units: Number of Rak'a (units)
sunnah_units_before: Number of recommended rak'as before the main prayer
sunnah_units_after: Number of recommended rak'as after the main prayer
occurrence/occasion: When the prayer is performed (daily, special occasion, festival, event)
time_of_day: Specific time window (e.g., Fajr: dawn, Duha: mid-morning)
start_time: Earliest permissible time
end_time: Latest permissible time
loud_or_silent: Whether the recitation is aloud or silent
congregational_status: Whether it can be prayed in congregation or individually
preferred_place: Ideal location for prayer (e.g., mosque, musalla, home)
number_of_takbirs: Especially for prayers like Eid, Janazah, or special voluntary prayers
number_of_ruku: Special prayers like eclipse prayer, sign prayer
khutbah_required: Whether a sermon is delivered, and if so, whether before or after the prayer
unique_elements: Any distinguishing features of the prayer (e.g., extra takbirs in Eid, extra rukus in eclipse prayer, 5 rukus in sign prayer)
reason_for_special_prayer: Purpose or cause for the prayer (e.g., Istisqa for rain, Janazah for funeral)

Additional Notes

This infobox should be flexible enough to accommodate both regular daily prayers and rare or voluntary prayers with unique characteristics. It would standardize the presentation of key details such as timing, rak'as, special elements, and ritual specifics, which are currently scattered or inconsistently presented across different articles.

If creating a new template is not possible, these parameters could be added to any existing infobox intended for religious practices. However, due to the unique requirements of Islamic prayers—including their number of rak'as, variations across schools of thought, congregation rules, timing windows, and unique elements—a separate, dedicated infobox is strongly recommended.

Navbox for car games

I feel like there are enough games for a navigation box would be useful.

Template for a 'rejected draft'

Please create an inline template, similar in style to {{Not done}}, and include in the template documentation which is transcluded to the various inline check mark templates. Consider, for example, if the template is named 'Rejected draft' that a short version 'rd' might be created as an alias/redirect.

A likely major use will be on WP:AFCHD 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 09:24, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template for “Wikipedia editors are volunteers”

I would like to request a new user warning talk page template similar to things such as uw-vandalism, uw-warn, etc, to remind users that Wikipedia editors are volunteers, not employees, to be used when people make comments such as “do your job,” “you’re not doing your job properly,” or similar remarks implying that editors are paid staff. My proposed name for it is {{uw-notpaid}}, and I have created an example for what it could look like here. SuperCode111 (talk) 23:00, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
