Template talk:Sup sub

This template was considered for deletion on 2016 October 1. The result of the discussion was "Keep".

Duplicate work

{{su}} does essentially the same from what I can tell. Unless there is a good reason not to, they should be merged. I personally prefer the name "su" because you don't have to remember which one comes first, "sup" or "sub", and it's ~71% shorter :).

Comment unlike those other templates, this does a sup and a sub section (2 segments), those other templates applies both properties to one segment... -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 06:15, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- How about "sup-sub"? – although I suppose the hyphen would still wrap, as if it were a space (in which case, I'd revert to "supsub"). Sardanaphalus (talk) 07:18, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - {{sup-sub}} also works. Is your reason for renaming this because of wordwrap? That seems a bad reason for renaming. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:01, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - My reason is because none of those other templates' names include spaces. (Why, though, might wordwrap be a bad reason?) Sardanaphalus (talk) 22:14, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - We have plenty of templates with spaces in them, they all wrap, (such as all the cite templates) And all the stub-type templates have hyphens. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        If the implication was that no spaces/hyphens should be permitted in any template name, I suppose it would be a bad reason! But it was merely family resemblance that prompted the suggestion. Sardanaphalus (talk) 09:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't really see a reason to rename it based on wordwrap, as this template is somewhat different from the other ones mentioned, due to the 2 sections instead of 1, as that (wrapping) would be the remaining issue. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 06:16, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Pointless. Achieves nothing as the redirect already exists. Jenks24 (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
