[edit] Merging Template

I'm going to merge Template:Infobox Radio with Template:Infobox Radio Show as they serve identical purposes and are almost the same, both being derived from Template:Infobox Television.
I will temporarily add a few extra fields here to minimise disruption during the merge. --AGoon 20:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Merging done, you should only see minor differences in formatting, and a few extra fields available (any problems tell me on User_talk:AGoon). Perhaps hold off using new fields for a week, just in case there are any problems or objections. --AGoon 01:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed myspace attribute

I have removed the myspace (MySpace Profile) attribute as I couldn't see any reason for such a specific field in an infobox for radio shows, even if it is an integral part of one radio show, it's certainly not a general attribute applicable to radio shows. The only page that was using this attribute was This_Week_in_Science (TWIS), strangely enough user TWIS was the user who created this version of a radio show template (although another almost identical one already existed) and the user that added that attribute to the base TV template s/he was working from. I moved the info in the myspace Infobox field to the external links section of that wikipedia page. --AGoon 10:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
