 Korean article template 

Hi, thanks for your question.  Sorry I'm so late getting back to you.  Life on and off Wikipedia has been full of all sorts of unexpected hecticity...  Anyway, the Korean article template. 

The idea behind the template is pretty simple.  The basic idea is that every article should have the following, unless there is some reason to the contrary:
 a relevant ""See also"" section, 
 at least one relevant Korea-related category, and
 a name table.  
 Template:Korean on the Talk page.

In more detail...
The ""See also"" section should include a link to the List of Korea-related topics  (LKRT), and anything else that's obviously relevant but not linked in the article text.  If you prefer, you can just put in the LKRT link and let someone else add the others.  If you want to add more, here's the rule I've been following:  look in each category of which the article is a member.  If that category has a main article (like Korea in Category:Korea), then that main article should be linked  either from the text, or from the See also section.  The same for parent categories, within reason.  Here's an example:  Munmu of Silla is a member of the categories Silla and Korean rulers.  Thus, the articles Silla and Rulers of Korea are linked in the article text.  Those two categories are part of Category:Korean history and Category:Korean people.  Thus, History of Korea is linked in the See also section, and so is List of Koreans (well, it is now).   Both of those are members of Category:Korea, hence the link to the LKRT.  
You can find a complete (?) list of Korea-related categories at List of Korea-related topics#Categories.  Or just start at Category:Korea and work your way down.
Template:Koreanname noimage is fine for the vast majority of articles.  Cut and paste Template talk:Koreanname noimage#Syntax and fill in the blanks.  All Korean name tables require you to specify at least these four variables: hangul, hanja, rr, and mr.  ""Rr"" stands for Revised Romanization of Korean, and ""mr"" stands for McCune-Reischauer Romanization.  If you don't know what should go in these fields, just leave them blank  however, at a minimum the hangul should be provided (that allows other editors to verify the article and identify the other name-related information).  You can request help on the Korea-related notice board.  
This one's easy.  Just paste {{Korean}} onto the top of the talk page.  Done!

Most of our existing articles should already conform to this, since we just finished a housekeeping sweep in June.  But there are more new ones coming in every day...

I've also taken to adding a ""Wish list"" to the talk pages of new/inactive articles, identifying 2 or 3 things that the article is lacking.  Hopefully this will help other contributors see where they can help.   (Of course, if I can contribute the information myself, I do so).

I hope this isn't all too overwhelming.  Your excellent work so far is much appreciated. 

Cheers,
