Template:Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This will never be used on more than three articles and all three of the films are already in the complete template for all of Gregg Araki's films. This template serves no purpose. Harley Hudson (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Internal links in the article should be more than enough for a trilogy, unless it were to have many articles about different aspects of the trilogy (characters and whatnot). Star Wars Original Trilogy plus characters plus miscellany? Infobox. This? Nothing. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox aircraft/help (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Long out-of-date documentation superceded by that in template:infobox aircraft/doc. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 12:56, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's not documentation. It's intended to be used to provide a skeleton for a user to substitute into a page. Once substituted, they can then populate the fields without having to remember the exact names of all the template's fields or what purpose they serve. Instead of having to navigate to the documentation page, the user can copy the commented skeleton directly into the article they're editing. Karl Dickman talk 14:27, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The documentation page already contains such a skeleton, and it is no more effort to copy and paste it than it would be to substitute a different template. It dates from years back when we didn't have support for proper documentation pages on templates and is basically redundant to the documentation we have now. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 15:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox pope

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was redirect, although the votes for keep are more numerous, the argument for keeping this template is weakened by the fact that it is only a frontend for the more general {{Infobox Christian leader}}. By adding a type parameter, the functionality is identical. It should also be possible to have the type parameter set to "pope" when say a "papacy_begin"/"papacy_end" parameter is invoked, which would even make this |type=Pope unnecessary, and a redirect work without modification. The majority of the votes in favor of keeping this template appear to have not looked at the template code. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 01:46, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox pope (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Infobox Christian leader}}. Check User:Magioladitis/Sandbox for instance. We can delete or redirect there. Magioladitis (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Popes take regnal names, therefore info fields for their birth names are needed
  2. Popes are not simply enthroned into a diocese like other Christian leaders (eg. bishops), rather their papacy is more like a reign
  3. Include info/links for the conclave which they were elected in. Perhaps pertinent to note when the conclave began and ended, which gives an idea to how many ballots were needed to elect the pope
  4. As popes are required to be elected from the conclave, dates of all of their ordinations and elevations should be included

There may be others. - Alvincura (talk) 17:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep. Popes are inherently different entities and are distinct from Christian leaders. I find this suggestion very strange, and a total waste of time anyway. There is so much content to improve, just deleting templates at will, wastes time and does not help readers. Just keep it and move on to improve article content elsewhere. By the way, the nominator can not vote, and the vote should be by others. History2007 (talk) 15:41, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I find that trying to make an infobox "one-size-fits-all" causes it to be more complicated than it's worth. And why the pope infobox, and not {{Infobox cardinal}}? --Bwpach (talk) 19:51, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All the popes have their infoboxes, and Benedict is looking fairly healthy, so there is no real need for a new way to do things. And I think passing parameters is a good thing, because the fields are more self-explanatory. This is helpful, since there is a lack of documentation for these templates. Does this, perhaps, contribute to the decline in new editors? --Bwpach (talk) 16:51, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right -- I was looking at the "Papacy began" and "Papacy ended" fields, but didn't look far enough down on Infobox Christian leader to see where this can be set to show up with the type=Pope switch.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 21:58, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
