August 29

[edit]

Template:Episcopal lineage

[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. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:15, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This was deprecated in favor of Template:Ordination almost as soon as it was created, and there were questions from the start as to what it even meant. It's certainly irrelevant to Anglicans, where there is never a single consecrating bishop. It has only seen usage in a couple of high-profile articles of various prelates. Mangoe (talk) 22:00, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is the content being merged? It does qualify at least on a "show/hide" basis. Chicbyaccident (talk) 11:51, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator of the template and having heard several argue against it, I agree that it would be prudent to do away with the template. However, it has been partially merged already into Template:Ordination, and I think the template should be deleted in accordance with merger policies rather than plain deletion. Ergo Sum 19:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Infobox basketball biography , or rather limited merge as indicated in the discussion. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:13, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox basketball official into Template:Infobox basketball biography.

The 'official' template only has 17 transclusions. Most of its parameters are in the 'biography' template and of those that are not, most are generic and apply equally to players (e.g. |parents=). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:15, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 22:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Had only two transclusions, each now replaced with {{Infobox event}}, which offers extra parameters (example), so unused and redundant. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:04, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 22:21, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only 30 transclusions, which should variously be replaced by {{Infobox medical condition}}, {{Infobox medical intervention}}, or {{Infobox medical speciality}} Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:42, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox alternative intervention

[edit]

The result of the discussion was Snow not merged (non-admin closure) Pppery 14:02, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox alternative intervention into Template:Infobox medical intervention.
We don't need a separate infobox (with only 20 transclusions) for "alternative" interventions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:36, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose — There is a very good reason to keep these separate. By definition much of what exists in Infobox intervention cannot apply to alternative medicine, and the other way round. Alternative medicine per definition does not have many of the codes listed in the intervention infobox, while medical interventions do not divide into schools or other alternative medicine groupings. Carl Fredrik talk 19:41, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The template serves the articles very well, and adding those 5 parameters to the intervention template is to invite confusion. And to add the others to this one is to invite vandalism and to allow for misuse to promote ineffective therapies. legality= is used, see for example Colloidal silver.

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn by nom (non-admin closure) Pppery 22:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is hardly any need for this template, editors should be encouraged to use reftag.appspot.com which works a treat. --Nevé–selbert 17:24, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Nominator's argument makes little sense for a template that is used in 6,000 pages. Maybe the nominator could explain better. What would you do with all of the transclusions? – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:30, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I propose we deprecate this template and encourage users to use the external link above.--Nevé–selbert 17:48, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You realise that said external link leads to a third-party application with no guarantee of being maintained, not to mention it is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, right? How does this actually help anybody —Phil | Talk 17:19, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Can be very useful for so many users.AlfaRocket (talk) 19:54, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Moral support for delete — We overuse google books in a way that unduly favours a for-profit company. However, the amount of work needed to get rid of this template is just too much. Carl Fredrik talk 20:27, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is very useful.Gazal world (talk) 20:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I use this template all the time   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  21:20, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep On articles like Phenakistiscope the reference books are unlikely to be in your local library. Which means Google books and similar online repositories are needed. The choices that I know of are 1) put a long URL into a cite template (and hoping that Google never changes their URL format like most other online companies seem to do) or 2) use the Google books template. The Google books template has a simpler syntax than the URL. And if Google change their URL format then we make the corresponding changes in the template and thus rescue thousands of references. I don't see how reftag.appspot.com is an improvement over this.  Stepho  talk  23:55, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this very useful template which as various people point out above future-proofs links to Google Books in case of a change in format. Directing us to a third-party application hosted by the very same organisation against which the nomination is directed might be somewhat ironic in the circumstances. Might I also point out that the addition of the (admittedly standard) notice is producing some ridiculously ugly and broken results when this template is in use inside {{cite book}}, using |plainurl= as per the rubric, which if intended borders upon being WP:POINTy to my mind… HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:19, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Deleting it would be chaotic unless there is a bot that can replace all the usages. Although simply using the url of the google book works just as well.e.g.

Incidentally the app has some problems - for instance it does not distinguish between editors and authors - see below

City of Botany Bay and its suburbs are now part of Bayside Council. a new template for its suburbs has already been created. LibStar (talk) 06:56, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: What is the new template? Was it a cut-and-paste creation from {{Sydney Botany Bay suburbs}}? If so, there should then be a merge rather than a deletion. Useddenim (talk) 16:22, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as not all the links are red, but trim all redlinks so that we have a usable navbox. I am generally concerned about the condition of these types of year in country football navboxes, however. --woodensuperman 14:27, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previous TfDs for this template:

Subst and delete This wrapper template provides no advantage over transcluding the text directly from the Non-visa travel restrictions article directly (where it's previous content was moved) Pppery 16:26, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I LST-ified this template and left it as a template in case it was decided that the page Non-visa travel restrictions should be moved to another title, which would necessitate updating the hatnote on all 200 country-specific articles. If people are happy enough with the current situation then I'm fine with subst-ing and deleting this one. CapitalSasha ~ talk 17:59, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
