[edit] Template:Japan article

Template:Japan article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
This template "places a small Japan Article symbol () in the top right corner of an article to indicate that it is an article related to Japan" - see Operation Ten-Go for an example.

It is likely to conflict with the {{featured article}} star. It - and any others of its ilk - should be deleted for the same reason as the {{good article}} symbol: we do not clutter up the main article space with this sort of metadata. These articles should be identified, if need be, by a template on the talk page. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, ugly self-reference. For what it's worth, I despise {{featured article}} for the same reasons. Not to mention that any article that is "related to Japan" should be able to identify itself as such in the first sentence, lest it lack context. Unnecessary, ugly, and useless.--Sean Black 18:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Congrats, you just unintentionally introduced me to a new feature! Now I can check to see if an article is well-researched before I even click the talk page!! Thanks! -Aknorals 09:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. I clarified where the template should be used (on the template itself). It should never be used in the main article namespace (and therefore won't ever interfere with the Good Article icon). This was clarified on the WikiProject Japan page, but I forgot to update the description on the template itself. I've also removed it from the Operation Ten-Go article as it shouldn't have ever been placed there. This template is only to be used on project articles (such as the notice board, etc.) which are part of WikiProject Japan in order to provide a quick way of identifying them and a quick way to return to the main project page. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It'd be a little easier for me to vote keep if the template was called something like Project Japan article. That would also stop all the people who don't read the descriptions from adding it to their articles as well.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  04:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm fine with renaming it. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 19:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I am glad that this is not intended to appear in main article space - however, I strongly doubt that adding a little icon to the talk page is the right thing to do either - isn't {{WikiProject Japan}} a better solution? -- ALoan (Talk) 10:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

That's for the talk pages only, and mainly for articles in the main namespace. This puts a tiny icon in the top right corner of the project article itself, which makes it easier for people to easily find other Japan-related projects. There are getting to be quite a few of them, and this makes it much easier to find all of them. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 19:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Which sort of articles is this being added to, other than ones in the main article space? Perhaps some sort of category would be better? -- ALoan (Talk) 23:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Other articles have a note on the talk page that such-and-auch a wikiproject is looking after them. The main namespace is for the encyclopedia, the talk pages are for its internal workings. Cross-namespace references are despised for precisely that reason. Dr Zak 00:22, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, there's almost a thousand WikiProjects last time I checked, and if there's a similar link for each one, things can get chaotic fairly quickly. Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 03:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

  How would it get chaotic? Since these are only used on project pages, they shouldn't interfere with each other. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 22:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Completely unnecessary clutter. It's best just to have the Wikiproject notice on talk pages link to a category. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 03:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry, it's on his homepage, but somehow it doesn't show up as a a userbox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fake_User —The preceding unsigned comment was added by QuizQuick (talk • contribs).

• The code is {{User blank|SF|This user has got a fish in the oven.}}. This means that you really want to delete {{user blank}}. Friendly Neighbour 20:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• If I wrote SF - Hail Stalin on something just as inflammatory using that template, would I be immune from deletion, is that it?QuizQuick 17:22, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The template isn't the problem, though, is it? You don't need Template:user blank to write "Hail Stalin", you can just write it. If somebody created Template:user Hail Stalin, then that could be nominated for deletion, but there is nothing in this template (remember, that is Template:user blank) that is anti-fish, so your deletion request makes no sense. — sjorford++ 08:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

• Very Sinificant Major Keep -- this is a template, not an ency article. Moreove, this addresses us users -- not the pedia articles. If someone wants to say "This user enjoys sex" on their Userpage, they should have the right to say it! It may be contovesial to some users, but it doesn't violate policy. KEEP IT!

• Keep What harm does this cause? Fairsing 18:34, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets WP:UBX, Wikipedia:Userbox policy and T1. T2 is not valid at this time.
• Keep. Wikipedia is not to be a judge of morality; deleting something because some consider it culturally unacceptable is unacceptable. To resolve T2, rewrite this template as "This user is interested in sexual intercourse." -Silence 22:42, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment "Sex" is not a synonym for "sexual intercourse". ~MDD4696 15:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue. These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians. That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture; they are not used in article space. The controversy needs to be put to bed once & for all, not endlessly played out here.--Ssbohio 01:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• An obvious keep. I wouldn't use it myself, but it's harmless. There are several userboxes that needs deletion more than this one. // Liftarn
• Definetely keep. This must be a joke; please, this isn't high school. Most people enjoy sex, I'd like to know how this could possibly be offensive to anyone. In that regard, the template is encyclopedic: it states a fact about the user. It's no different than saying "This user enjoys sleep". Or "Thomas Edison enjoyed science".(Patrick 14:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC))
• Srrong keep Offensive content? Wikipedia is not censored. Divisive and inflamatory? Do you have that on copy and paste or something? Everything at TfD cannot be divisive and inflamatory - you're just ruining that argument! If people want to say they enjoy sex - let them. - • The Giant Puffin • 13:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

    • Nothing in particular, but it doesn't matter - the only author says it was mistakenly created and asks to delete it. That's a textbook G7. I think his reasoning was that it is a duplicate of {{User dyslexic}}. As it's a duplicate, he found it to not be needed. As the only author has requested deletion of a page created in error, a speedy seems logical. BigDT 04:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Good intentions, but this one needs to go. Tijuana Brass^¡Épa!-E@ 02:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless this is a legitimate warning tag used to warn spammers in certain cases. Otherwise, policies should be sufficient without ubiquitous warning templates like this. Nhprman 06:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unnecessary. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 07:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete not the right way to warn, no other function; PS how do I remove these beans? Fnarf999 14:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have seen this used as a warning template - if it is removed then we will get more new users receiving the more confrontational vandalism warning templates on their userpages, through lack of any useful alternative. WP:BITE. Cynical 20:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, this is just {{spam}} in a box, so there's no difference between this and the normal warning template. --Rory096 23:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - I took a look at some of the pages where it is currently in use. It looks like it is being used to combat persistent spam. Obviously, the thing about the welcome page doesn't belong in article space, but that's a problem solved by fixing the template, not by doing away with it. BigDT 04:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- if it is changed to say that it should only be on talk pages, otherwise Delete as redundent --T-rex 06:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. We already have {{spam}} for user talk pages. Having this for articles is a really bad idea. AnnH ♫ 08:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete would probably only encourage peopel to spam --larsinio (poke)^(prod) 15:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete We don't need templates in the article namespace to remind people not to break the rules. This is unencyclopedic. Protection templates are bad enough. --Ryan Delaney ^talk 14:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or move to Talk page. Warnings like this don't need to polute articles. --StuffOfInterest 18:06, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete -- Nathan 22:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. WP:BEANS is funny. Freddie^{Against Userbox Deletion?} 01:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. Redundant to the {{spam}} series of templates, but the name of the template makes sense so I support a redirect instead of an outright delete.. --Icarus 09:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Bryan Singer

Template:Bryan Singer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Sorry but template-cruft. The information in the template is already listed in the TOC on the Singer page, so it isn't really needed there. On the film pages, the director is already listed in the infobox at the top or in the first sentence or two. It serves no purpose and starts a bad trend. What next... individual templates for all the involved actors in a film? For the writers? composers? AlistairMcMillan 17:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Where have you been? Director templates are becoming more and more prevelant. Quentin Tarantino has his own template (Template:Footer Movies Quentin Tarantino); hell, even Uwe Boll has one (Template:Uwe Boll Films). Mr. Spielberg, too, has one (Template:Steven Spielberg). I'm not saying that it's right, but it's already happened - there are many director templates. Hbdragon88 23:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
