Template:User FA

[edit]

Propose merging Template:User FA with Template:User Featured articles.
Consolidate content contribution userboxes. These seem to have the same purpose. Tom (LT) (talk) 23:08, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can we just get speedy decisions on all of these userbox merges so everyone's user pages can stop looking awful? Morgan695 (talk) 17:20, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Morgan695:, the general practice seems to be that discussion (and in general individually) is preferred for most templates. Speedy deletion has the possibility of breaking things and also upsetting people which would be bad :(. The disruption should only last for at most another few weeks, likely much less as these discussions are closed. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:45, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant. Only has one entry, and the artist has no other albums with their own articles in order to be able to add to this template. Should be deleted and only recreated if and when articles for the other albums are created. Richard3120 (talk) 22:12, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Top 25 report as the clear first step, but without prejudice against Trialpears' suggestion for further discussion about whether the combined banner should be removed entirely to reduce banner blindness. (non-admin closure) {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:10, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Top25 with Template:Top 25 report.
These templates are nearly functionally equivalent. The former is typically used for the most viewed page, while the latter is used for being somewhere on the top 25 (in any nth place). But the former allows a param to specify the place, and the latter allows comments for the same. They're used on many articles separately, bloating the page (eg Talk:Sushant Singh Rajput). I don't see a reason why this can't be merged into one template. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per nom, preferably preserving [[Template:Top 25 report]].--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 14:43, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge: The templates serve virtually the exact same purpose. No reason for there not to be a merge. Benmite (talk) 07:42, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Speedy) merge into {{Top 25 report}}. ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 12:47, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge. I'm not sure what readers are supposed to do with the information that the article was among the most viewed on a particular week. It doesn't affect how we edit the page and doesn't help us improve the article which is the entire purpose of the talk page. Removing these would result in less banner blindness and people actually reading the more important banners. It is also worth nothing that by definition these have to be very popular articles most of which have a lot of banners. A merge would definitely be preferable to have two templates for the same purpose though. --Trialpears (talk) 07:43, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom, but delete would be just destruction on a whim. Whether we individually find something useful or not, we should accept that many other people do find value in it. Ref (chew)(do) 09:32, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Based on (now deleted) article created by new editor, I think that this malformed template was intended to be a fill-in-the-box method for creating "nations" on Wikipedia. (Not sure what that means.) I don't see any use for it. Schazjmd (talk) 01:27, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consolidate GA userboxes. I propose replace / merge and delete. This template is used once, poorly formatted, obscurely titled, and looks ugly. Tom (LT) (talk) 22:54, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:User Good Article Significant with Template:User Good Article.
A large number of duplicate userboxes exist with pretty much the same function and appearance. It would be easier to have a single userbox for this usage case. A parameter that decides what is used for the word "written", and the ability to insert the number of good articles, means that lots of templates can be rolled into a single template with a simple name and unified formatting.

This will also stop the gradual proliferation of more infoboxes as new boxes won't have to be created for every variation on the word "written" ("contributed", "added significantly to" etc). Tom (LT) (talk) 00:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:CONSOLIDATION. But Tom (LT), would you mind combining these nominations into a single section? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 04:05, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sdkb, WP:CONSOLIDATION is about infoboxes, but there is WP:WPUBX#Merge for userboxes. +1 for combining the discussion sections. —⁠andrybak (talk) 23:38, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Andrybak, thanks for the link. Perhaps we need to consolidate our consolidation essays, eh? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
