  • I intended this template to help with documenting the long tail of interface messages that are too minor to be listed in {{MediaWiki messages}}, though I'm not sure how many groups of interface messages there actually are that use of this template would be appropriate on. If there're enough to justify it, though, the functionality from this template could easily enough be rolled into {{Interface explanation}}, in which case this template would be wholly redundant. 「ディノ奴千？！」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:49, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Superfluous to "new section" link. Only 20 transclusions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:54, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep since it's intended for use on user talk pages, and thus, is a nice template to allow user talk page customization, regardless of it being redundant to a link on the top of the page. Steel1943 (talk) 17:36, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Steel -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:03, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Some editors like to use it, and what harm does its existence do? We don't need to delete something just because there's another way of doing it: having alternative methods is fine. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:42, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per JamesBWatson as one of those editors who likes to use it. No harm is being caused by its existence. While I could place the code of the template directly on my user talk or create a userspace template page were it to be deleted, such deletion would harm efforts by others looking for an easy-to-find/easy-to-use "leave a new message by clicking here" link like I was not too long ago. I disagree that it is superfluous to the "new section" link. The "new section" link is easy to understand for editors who have been around a while (even a short while). But, as an editor who often interacts with newer, inexperienced editors, I can tell you that it is not easy to understand for a lot of them. Messages left in unrelated sections, or at the top of the page, or at the bottom of the page without a section heading are very common. The use of this template has significantly decreased the number of improperly-formatted messages on my talk page by giving new users a clear, obvious button to click on to leave me a message in a new section. --Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 16:14, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Connected contributor with Template:Connected contributor multi.
No need for two templates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:29, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - but this will take some work - the multi one doesn't display the "otherlinks" field, which is really important in the simple one for showing diffs where COI is actually disclosed, and editors need to be able to see that field. I often avoid using the multi template because of that. I do worry about the work of doing the merge at the article level (the fields are labelled differently in the two templates), but I don't know how that works. That work may make the merge prohibitively difficult. Jytdog (talk) 13:39, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, with more or less the same reservations as Jytdog – the merged result should have all the functionality of the single-user version. Like Jytdog, I avoid using the multi version because it is more limited. This merge should have been done long ago. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:37, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, assuming it's done intelligently per Jytdog's comment. I'd like to confirm/point out/complain that the multi template doesn't appear to allow inclusion of a diff to a disclosure. That is to say the otherlinks param is busted, or not documented correctly. Brianhe (talk) 22:20, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support having a single template with full functionality instead of two templates with partial functionality just makes sense. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 14:23, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Collaboration of the month templates are a distraction to Wikipedia community organizers trying to build engagement. Almost always (19 out 20 times) these do not work at all, and when they do work, it takes a lot more than a template.

Only 33 transclusions suggests lack of community uptake. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:30, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologizing is good, but I don't think a one word template with a smiley face serves much purpose. I'm also puzzled about why it's left aligned in a longish gray box. - MrX 19:31, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A strange template; I think it would be more effective to just say "Sorry!" in normal text. — This, that and the other (talk) 03:19, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per WP:WIKILOVE. Btw, WP:ADMIT says that this template is a good idea for apologizing, and even transcludes it. --TL22 (talk) 16:28, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Both are essays, with no formal standing; the later is by the same editor who made this template, has few incoming links from other guidelines or policies, and will be just as meaningful (or not) without the template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:34, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Just because they are essays doesn't mean they can't be cited (see WP:ONLYESSAY). Plus imagine a case where an editor apologizes with the "Sorry" template and then explains his apologies below the template. That is a perfect circumstance for using the template. In conclusion, this template is useful if used properly. --TL22 (talk) 17:38, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • They may indeed be cited; I merely pointed out that they have no formal standing. A cursory glance through a random subset of the templates current transclusions shows it most often used with no accompanying text. Where there is accompanying text that would work just as well without the template. And to reiterate, a mere 33 transclusions - around five a year - shows that the community has not adopted this template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:13, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I like the idea of having a template that a person can easily and quickly use to say they're sorry about something. However, I feel this template is way larger than it should be, and can be distracting in a discussion. I would suggest something more like {{Thank you}} or {{Done}}. It can fit right in line in text, and thus it isn't distracting. I feel editing the template in this way would also make it more appealing to use, thus increasing its transclusion count. JaykeBird (talk) 00:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the sentiment of WP:DTTR: a personalised individual message carries much more influence than a template. Leaving a vandalism warning for an established contributor is often a mark of scorn because it's so generic and can give the impression that you're not interested in discussion. In somewhat the same manner, the use of this generic template can give the impression that you're making a pro forma apology. Just leave a personal note: "Oops, I'm sorry that I did X; I should have done Y". Nyttend (talk) 22:06, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment shouldn't there be some general banner for assignments, instead of a specific one for each collaboration, so that you just add switches to indicate which collaboration and what time period? ; that would lead to better tracking of school projects across wikipedia -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Banrevert

[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).

The result of the discussion was Delete. There is a fundamental disagreement over whether templates should be deleted due to low usage, and we're unlikely to resolve that here. Concerns that the template is redundant to {{BannedMeansBanned}} and others have not been addressed, which is explicitly a valid reason for deletion at WP:TFD#REASONS. Beyond that, most editors appear to think that any template of this type is unnecessary. ~ RobTalk 06:12, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless, as this is general policy, and its target audience are unlikely to comply. Only 11 transclusions, showing lack of community uptake. (Content is "Posts by banned or blocked users will be removed from this article and its talk page. Blocked users please adhere to Wikipedia's blocking policy and refrain from block evasion and/or sockpuppetry."). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:04, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Actually, there are at least 15 transclusions, including transclusions via redirects. However, whatever the number, the fact that there are that many transclusions shows that editors sometimes use the template. Just because they don't often do so is not a reason for preventing them from doing so on those occasions when they wish to. As for "its target audience are unlikely to comply", my experience is that, while nothing is guaranteed to stop sockpuppeteers from coming back with new sockpuppets, being told "any editing you do will be a waste of time, as it will just be reverted" is one of the methods with the highest success rates. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per JamesB and lack of transclusions being insufficient grounds for deletion. ♥ Melody ♥ 23:00, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - template creep. This presupposes that banned editors and sockpuppets are unaware of the policy, that they would care about the policy, and that they'd check the talk page and pay attention to the banner in a sea of beige. Alakzi (talk) 08:05, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to {{BannedMeansBanned}}. As noted above, we simply don't need a banner template to express this basic concept. However, the name itself makes me think of BannedMeansBanned; I initially assumed that this was going to be redundant to that template. The name itself would work fine as an alternate name, i.e. as a decent redirect. Nyttend (talk) 22:14, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
