Miscellaneous

• Portal subpages to apply, discuss template first.
• Look to a means to create a usable text/template for Wikitionary quotation/citation. Thought would be to have at Index: page, so that it grabs meta data, and would request user input for the word and the page number, noting that want it to point to document in main namespace, not in page environment. Grander plan would be that it then adds it in directly, though let us start with production of wikitext to paste into place.
• Create schema and review link templates for Grove's Dictionary of Music
• Find and fix where {{process header}} is used within the main/author/portal namespace and convert appropriately
• {{wikipediaref}} and {{wikipediarefb}} to be incorporated into respective headers
• steal {{edit filter warning}} from enWP
• investigate {{ba}}

References and underlying templates

• Finish the update of the ... lkpl family to utilise {{authority/lkpl}}
• Create Template:authority/link and convert ... link family to use.
• Both templates need to look to align with the w:COinS data, look to implemnent name aligned links, suppsedly as per {{cite}}
• Look to organise the display of the link templates to a standard format.

Cat filter to create

Create an Author filter so that the error at Category:Authors with DefaultSort error is captured and directed like no header. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:25, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
