Recently, I see this page Property:P394 with the ugly description "DO NOT USE THIS PROPERTY. IT IS PROPOSED TO BE DELETED."

(I am not criticizing the fact that the text is here to prevent user from using this property. I only suggest just a prettier way to present it.)

And it's why I create "itemNotice". This script want to add a template on the top, on the bottom or on the side of the item.

How it's work actually :

To add a template, We have to add an alias in English
1. #HEAD:template!parameter=value!parameter2=value2!etc
 - To add on the top of the item
2. #FOOT:template!parameter=value!parameter2=value2!etc
 - To add on the bottom of the item
3. #ASIDE:template!parameter=value!parameter2=value2!etc
 - To add on the right of the item
4. #NOTICE:template!parameter=value!parameter2=value2!etc
 - The template determine automaticaly the position of the template (DEFAULT : ASIDE)
 - To add the default position on a template use:
 1. itemNotice:HEAD
 2. itemNotice:ASIDE
 3. itemNotice:FOOT
What are the default parameter send to a template.
- itemNotice send by default {{the template and the paramaters|title=video|item=Property:P10|id=p10|isQuery=false|isProperty=true|location=HEAD}}

But I have many question about "How do we use this Script ?" :

Do you think this script can be usefull ? edit

Do you think this script can be usefull? If you answer negativly, the script won't be official and won't be shown in the user interface.

I can see where using the descriptions for such notices might come in useful. What happens when trying to use a property or item on another (for statements, for example)? It would show up there, but using this script, would that be possible? Hazard-SJ ✈ 02:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Does the script should be start on launch ?" mean that the script is automatically launch for everyone but doesn't appear in the preferences so it can't be disable.
