{{AddNewSection|Text={{Clickable button 2|Add new requests|link=no}}|Preload=Wikipedia:Requested templates/New Request}} for a new template or updates to [[Wikipedia:Template index|existing templates]] to the bottom of this page. Please be clear about what the template is used for, roughly what it should look like, and which articles it should link to, if any.

For requests regarding '''[[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]] templates''', go to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]].

A general description and guideline for '''userboxes''' can be found at [[Wikipedia:Userboxes]]. A detailed instruction to use the userbox template can be found at [[Template:Userbox]]. For requests regarding userboxes, go to [[Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Ideas]].

For help with fixing existing templates, you may want to visit [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)]].

<!--'''To Archive:'''
Please allow the templates to enter the '''Templates needing to be Categorized''' page (first link in the box on the right) - this is done by a bot that archives the templates there if they have not been touched for 15 days. Then - by copy and pasting, please take the template to either the '''Templates created or updated''' page, the '''Request for Existing Templates''' page (if the template requested for was not created due to a prior existence of a similar or if the existing template was requested to be updated and the request was denied) or the '''Request closed without Template''' page. Based on the date of the '''first''' comment on that entry, please sort the file accordingly (first select the year, then the month).

These are defined here so that they don't get moved off this page accidentally. -->

== Userbox for Messianic Jews ==
Could the userbox I designed [[User:Balsam Cottonwood/User Messianic Jew|here]] be made into an actual template, that is, listed at [[Template:User Messianic Jew]]? Perhaps someone could also tweak it to make the colour parameter able to be customized — I don't really know how to do that. Perhaps there is already a template like this, but I haven't been able to find one.

== request template for contentious topics ==
===initial request===
<!-- Begin request -->
i need to set up the template below. i would like to add a parameter to insert the phrase that identifies the topic, and a parameter to provide an image file if desired. and let me know any other parameters that might be useful to add, as i am not very knowledgable in this area. thanks!! this will probably become [[template:contentious]], which is currently a redirect.  Thanks.

===Comments and replies===

== Template:Infobox Mexican federal electoral district ==

<!-- Begin request -->
Respectfully requesting assistance with a template for the [[federal electoral districts of Mexico]]. I've been playing about with a subst'd draft on [[User:Moscow Mule/sandbox|my sandbox]], based on {{u|Mr Savva}}'s [[Template:Infobox Russian constituency]]. Does anyone feel kind enough to lend me a hand with making that a real template? 

<!-- End request -->
[[User:Moscow Mule|Moscow Mule]] ([[User talk:Moscow Mule|talk]]) 05:09, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:Well, after some (not enough) reading of the documentation and a fair amount of testing, [[Template:Infobox Mexican federal electoral district]] now exists. Comments and corrections  would be appreciated. And I couldn't get population-year to display where it wanted it to (after the popn figure).

==Template:Protected areas in the Negros Island Region==
<!-- Begin request -->
I would like to request a template creation in regards to the Protected areas in the [[Negros Island Region]] based on [[Template:Protected areas in Western Visayas|Western Visayas]]' and [[Template:Protected areas in Central Visayas|Central Visayas]]' in the Philippines. Essentially, with the same groups, but this time, it only includes the areas that are within the Negros Island Region. This is in line of the 2024 [[Negros Island Region#Second establishment (2020-present)|re-establishment]] of the said region in the Philippines.
<!-- End request -->

:That doesn't sound too hard. Something like that: [[Template:Protected areas in the Negros Island Region]]? Now you can edit it and fill in the entries for each category (where I have absolutely no idea which to include and which to not).

== oil well ==

Wikipedia has no template for oil wells. I feel stupid entering information on an oil well in the knowledge that this effort will not be of benefit to a future bot.

among the properties should be:

latitude, longitude, name, company, depth, completion date, flow rate, field that it belongs to [[Special:Contributions/2A02:2455:8423:4800:6902:A432:9181:42F7|2A02:2455:8423:4800:6902:A432:9181:42F7]] ([[User talk:2A02:2455:8423:4800:6902:A432:9181:42F7|talk]]) 18:25, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
