User:Xania/Template

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I can never remember the template names needed for user talk pages, deletion, queries, etc.. One problem is remembering if it should be one or two words, capitalised or lower-case. For example the template join us is one such problem. Maybe we should only use lowercase letters for templates and always use spaces when possible?

As you can see below, the numbers used in some templates are also confusing - there is no 'verror1' yet there is a test1. And how are we to remember which verror template is the one to use when you block someone - there are only 3 'verror' templates yet 5 'test' templates. All of this wastes a lot of time when your patrolling recent changes.

Any comments?
