Template:Infobox Warhammer 40,000 Chapters (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The articles using this infobox have been recently deleted or merged. It is now only used on one article, which is currently at AFD. — Pagrashtak 19:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Delete. "See also" sections should only contain links which are directly useful and relevant to the subject of the article. Adding general links that do not point to specific texts are not helpful. Any publicly-available papers that deal specifically with the subject of the article may of course be included, but a template is a poor way to do this. Happymelon 13:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:EDASeeAlso (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template is used to a add a bunch of general references to homehages on journals in article "further reading" sections. Basically useless, since they are not actually directly related to article topic, but rather to industry as a whole and only clutter the articles. — `'Míkka>t 17:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Say you are looking for more information on "Automatic Test Pattern Generation". There are hundreds of articles, scattered through the journals mentioned. It's not practical to list them all, and the most relevent ones depend on what sub-aspect you are interested in. So the best thing to do is tell where to find more information, which is in the journals mentioned, and their on-line versions. This is true not just for this topic, but almost all other EDA topics as well. So I think it makes sense so have a uniform list of places to look for more information (which is what the see also section is).
For example, consider the article that was just edited to remove this template, circuit extraction. I think it is now less useful to the reader, since it gives no clue about the best place to look for more information. Knowing which journals, and where they are located on-line, is a big help in my opinion.
If you oppose the use of this template, what is your suggestion for a reader who wants to find out more about the topic? LouScheffer (talk) 02:45, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:New Jersey temp (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template is redundant and seems to have been a test. — Jim Miller See me | Touch me 15:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
