Template:Whoa there! (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

rarely used non-standard warning template (you can find uses by checking uses of the associated image) Frietjes (talk) 23:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Doesn't violate any of the template namespace guidelines or other WP:TFD#REASONS. Yes, it might be sparingly used, but that doesn't necessitate deletion; one might as well ban all warning templates and replace them with a standardised complaint form. - User:Axisixa [talk] [contribs] 01:39, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- so why is "warning template" labelled as a barnstar? are warnings = awards? if people are trying to collect warnings as barnstars, that violates many WP policies. Frietjes (talk) 19:22, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is because the template incorrectly used {{Barnstar documentation}}; it seems like the template creator did not understand WP guidelines. Nobody is trying to use this template as a barnstar though, so there is no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. User:Axisixa [t] [c] 01:51, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

unused; not sure where this would be used Frietjes (talk) 23:18, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Can easily be inserted in applicable places in articles. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:48, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I will tweak the template tomorrow and add it to the list of wettest tropical cyclones by country article.Jason Rees (talk) 00:18, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jason Rees and Yellow Evan: if you are using it only one article (List of wettest tropical cyclones by country) why do you need it in a separate template? the other table in that section (Swan Island) is in the article directly and not in a separate template. Frietjes (talk) 14:52, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Does it seriously matter? After all to my knowledge there isnt a rule on wiki that a template has to be used two or three times before it can be a template.Jason Rees (talk) 15:31, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - from Wikipedia:TG, Templates should not normally be used to store article text, as this makes it more difficult to edit the content. one can argue if a table of statistics counts as "article text", but the spirit is that we generally should not store content in templates unless it is being used in more than one article. and even then, there is LST.

Keep A similar template is used for 44 other countries and regions. It would be more appropriate to discuss the merits of this category of templates on a page such as WP:WikiProject Tropical cyclones, rather than consider just one here. Mamyles (talk) 22:06, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
