== Rfp template ==
 
I have an idea for the template {{tlx|Rfp}}. This idea would automatically put one's signature on a user's request for permission. <tt><nowiki>{{subst:rfp|USERNAME|(optional statement)}} ~~~~</nowiki></tt> is the current way to do a request for permission. My idea would reduce it to <tt><nowiki>{{subst:rfp|USERNAME|(optional statement)}}</nowiki></tt>. To do this, I would put <tt>&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</tt> at the end of the template. This method would also work for other templates. Would you tell me if this is a good idea? Also tell me if this is the wrong place for this message. Thank you. <span style="padding:1px;font-size:11px;border-radius: 1em; -moz-border-radius: 1em; -webkit-border-radius: 1em;<!--

Firstly, the place to ask about such things is at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)]], or possibly at [[Wikipedia:Help desk]]; either place has people watching it with template expertise. Secondly, in my opinion autosigning templates are a horrible botch - they seem like a good idea, but they break on any signature that contains "|" or "=", and many other things will result in bad formatting. Thirdly, while we're on the general subject, I don't think your own signature is a good idea - six lines just to make an oval, however tasteful an oval it is, is probably too much. <span style="white-space:nowrap">— [[User:Gavia immer|Gavia immer]] ([[User talk:Gavia immer|talk]])</span> 18:52, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:It doesn't seem ''ridiculously'' lengthy (we have had a few examples of folks going really overboard recently, as I recall), and it is tasteful. I use Chrome on the Mac and it renders fine for me without the browser specific style; you'd save quite a bit of space by omitting the Mozilla and WebKit instructions? Just a suggestion. As to the autosigning idea, [[WP:VPT|wp:vpt]] would be the proper venue, although I suspect the technical reasons Gavia raised would indeed prevent that change.

::In order for me to make my signature, I have to substitute it from [[user:btilm/signature]], which is fully protected. Do you think I should just transclude it? <span style="padding:1px;font-size:11px;border-radius: 1em; -moz-border-radius: 1em; -webkit-border-radius: 1em;<!--

:[[WP:AIV]] is probably a more appropriate venue than AN/I, although I, personally, would only list them at AIV if they continue to vandalise, however you may decide to list them now. However I don't really think this is a discussion for AN/I [[User:Spitfire|Spitfire]]<sup>[[User talk:Spitfire|Tally-ho!]]</sup> 21:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
