Sorry I think I have created quite a jungle around the Help Template
Unfortunately I will not be able to stay online. But all told maybe it will be good to have a Help template. My basic problem is that the blacklist prevents a reflist on the Earthquake page and I thought a template for help would work. I can see that I had already imported the Help template. Anyway, I have done some tweaks. If you wish when I am back online I will try to clean things up. CC:QU 23:36, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I just want to reiterate the fact that you should never do a recursive import to import all templates that are called by a page or a template, as it can overwrite existing content, though I'm pretty sure you didn't do that here. I have cleaned things up.  If you need a template imported, please let me or another admin know, as they are quite delicate and often need very technical tweaks to work at Wikibooks. Regarding your specific issue, you will not be able to import Template:Convert.  It will not work correctly without the subpages brought in and there are 3,500 of them in w:Category:Subtemplates of Template Convert.  Please just use a calculator.  Importing the equivalent of 10% of our content pages for the operation of a single template is not feasible. – Adrignola discuss 02:19, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes they are a real pain. I will just delete the parameters and use the metric or avoirdupois whichever comes first. Most people don't care which form they get the data. It does get sticky when we deal with radiation levels curies and REMS and what not but that is the nature of the beast...gnarly...&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 23:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Import help
Hello, this is Fountain Pen. We talked a few days ago about importing templates. I told you that I put out an RFI. The RFI still hasn't been looked at. I'm new to the concept of importing, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to work. Is it supposed to take a while, or did I do something wrong? Please respond on my talk page.
