Template talk:Ratio bar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Undeleted so that TFD folks can see it. Don't use this anywhere on wikipedia! Wikipedia is not a democracy Kim Bruning 13:24, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

This template survived a request for deletion. The result of the discussion was keep and rename.

Rather, don't use it where it's not appropriate.  Denelson83  03:53, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Right, as long as it's not in the wikipedia: namespace, I figure it might be ok. Do make sure to watch it so that it doesn't go there! Kim Bruning 03:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Parameter names

Any objection to removing the old-style parameter names (the longish ones)? As far as Whatlinkshere seems to indicate, this isn't very widely used. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 03:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's because the Wikipedia community objected to seeing it used for the purpose for which I originally created it. So, I have made it a task of mine to make sure it's not improperly used.  Denelson83  03:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I actually got here by viewing some old TFDs. =) Unfortunate, really, because 99% of the time the various polls on here come down to the pure numbers. —Locke Cole • t • c 03:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, the general consensus here on enwiki is that polls are evil.  Denelson83  06:15, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
