The only contributions I intend to make to Wikipedia are those concerning navigational templates. I intend to:

• Improve the aesthetic quality of existing templates
• Standardise the style of templates that cover the same broad subject
• Create templates for topics lacking them and add them to appropriate articles
• Improve the completeness of template lists on template administration pages
• Help those attempting to code templates

[edit] Navigation templates that need restructuring for aesthetic reasons

• Template:Google Inc.

[edit] Templates or template groups that need standardising

• All university templates
• Planet spacecraft (already standardised, but require cleanup into NavBox generic)
• Constellations templates

[edit] Complete list of my contributions to template/article namespace

Bold indicates reversions, modifications or relevant decisions by others

• Template:Industrial Revolution [1] - replaced dozens of countless redundant piped links with regular wikilinks, and removed a lot of code by replacing the table with a "NavBox generic" box (instead of a locally-coded one)

• [2] Reverted

• Template:Keyboard keys [3] - reduced the amount of code by replacing with a box similar to "NavBox generic", which is also a lot more pleasing to the eye than the previous design

• [4] Reverted

• Template:Quantum field theory [5] - replaced with NavigationBox template
• Template:Moon groups of Jupiter [6] - nominated for deletion since Template:Moons of Jupiter is a superior version
• Template:Satellites of Pluto [7] - nominated for deletion since Template:Moons of Pluto and Eris is a superior version
• Template:Saturn Footer [8] - nominated for deletion since Template:Moons of Saturn is a superior version
• Template:NASA Mars spacecraft [9] - nominated for deletion since Template:Mars spacecraft is a superior version
• Template:Technology [10] - replaced with collapsible, more standardised template
