Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Weatherboxes

I've noticed you've made a lot of weatherbox templates by moving the information from the articles to their own templates. While this can be useful in some cases, provided these are only included on one article, it's generally better to leave the content in the article instead of moving it to a separate template. Can I suggest you reconsider your actions here? Thanks. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:13, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Elli: Thanks for sharing your opinion. Some templates use a lot of data and editing any text inline becomes really laggy on a big page. Then I'm not the first one having done so. And to me it makes perfect sense to categorize them. Look at American cities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_weatherbox_templates. Then there's a reuse possibility. I'm definitely not rolling back anything as it took a lot of time to that and retrospectively it is a correct approach IMHO Belgampaul (talk) 04:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair. I do think there are some cases where this makes sense, but it seems like there's a general community consensus against doing this? For example Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 December 24#Single-use weather box templates (A–C) (where I supported substitution and deletion). If you'd like to get consensus for a change like this, I wouldn't oppose that, but I do think until that's decided it doesn't make sense to continue doing this. I won't personally nominate any of your templates for deletion, though. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:10, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
