Template:Infobox frazione (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox Italian comune (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox frazione with Template:Infobox Italian comune.
The two tepmlates are virtually the same (there is only one parameter that is different) and are both wrappers of {{Infobox settlement}}. There are not that many standalone articles about frazioni (compared to comuni) and there are no parameters that are necessary for frazioni that are not currently part of the comune template. (The only one would be the comune parameter, which could be easily added to {{Infobox Italian comune}}, and also an ability to set "comune" to "frazione" at the top of the template. Ergo Sum 19:49, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Since the frazione is a subset of one or more comuni, merging them seems more messy than keeping them both or removing them both and use {{Infobox settlement}}. Artafinde (talk) 21:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw. I would like to withdraw this proposal. I no longer believe that the two infoboxes should be merged. Can an administrator please close this proposal? Ergo Sum 22:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Artafinde. --Dэя-Бøяg 16:35, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Were created in order to handle future articles on, and mentions of, NYNH&H stations that did not survive to be taken over by any other railroad or agency. Will certainly become used, most likely sooner rather than later (judging from the pace of recent pickups in activity in WikiProject Greater Boston Public Transit and its relations).

Template:The X-Files RT scores S10

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 subst and delete. While past discussions have allowed for the storing of article text for use in multiple articles, this family of templates as discussed is only used on one article per template. Additionally, each is simply a wrapper for {{Television Rotten Tomatoes scores}}, which is not in and of itself a huge template. Were these graphs not part of the other template (and thus substitution would put a huge chunk of code on the page) this discussion would probably be closed as "no consensus", but as the function of these templates (as discussed by the "merge" camp) can be easily replaced by other existing templates there is little reason to "hide" the information away from other editors (the "it prevents vandalism" argument has been debated to no end with no clear consensus either way).

single-use templates, should be merged with the articles; there is no need to keep the scores in separate templates Frietjes (talk) 15:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Data is easily subject to vandalism so having it in a separate template prevents this. - Brojam (talk) 01:40, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 01:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I don't see how does using templates would prevent vandalism. It seems like in some cases it actually could increase the likelihood, as less people would be watching the templates than the articles themselves. Single use templates should generally be avoided, these seem to fit that criteria. Cheers, Dresken (talk) 02:04, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Dresken. I also fail to see how requiring editors to watch the templates and the article will help prevent vandalism. If you are having problems with vandalism, ask to have the articles protected. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 02:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Brojam, and restore other deleted templates. -- Alex^TW 07:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and add to the individual episode articles for those seasons to provide context to the critical response compared to the other episodes of the season. Miyagawa (talk) 09:11, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Miyagawa, the proposal is not to eliminate the information from the articles. the proposal is to transclude the content directly. for example, do you see how The Walking Dead (season 1) has a RT table? but if check the article source, you will see that the article is using {{Television Rotten Tomatoes scores}} directly. Frietjes (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Exactly. If the same information is used in multiple articles then it would warrant templated use. In a single article, there's simply no point in keeping it. Miyagawa (talk) 13:57, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Miyagawa, and if you check [1][2][3][4][5][6], you will find that they are all used in one article. so, I will assume you are !voting to merge the template contents with the articles? Frietjes (talk) 17:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - Miyagawa, so your !vote is merge? Frietjes (talk) 14:48, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
