[edit] Hcard-geo-title merge

{{Hcard-geo}} was already merged into {{Coord named}}; no reason no to merge {{Hcard-geo-title}}, which appears to be only different by two caracters. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 10:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

There's a proposal at Template talk:Coord#Moving_microformat_markup_from_articles_to_coord to merge the functionality of this template into {{coord}}, so that both {{Coord named}} and {{Hcard-geo-title}} will become redundant. The only opposition comes from the creator of this template. --Para 11:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Who, unlike you, understands the harm your proposal will cause. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 11:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Those two characters are significant; the two templates perform different functions. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 11:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Instead of insulting people who don't agree with you, why don't you try explaining what this alleged harm is? I certainly can't see any. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 12:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I haven't insulted anybody; I've made a statement of fact. And I have already explained that to Para, at length, elsewherre. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 13:04, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
PS: Now that I've fixed the }} for > bug in {{Hcard-geo}}, and removed the code that was pointlessly hiding the templates from self-display, it's quite easy to see what the difference is. I still think all this stuff should be merged, and simply differentiated with simple parameters like "|title=yes", but oh well. Have more pressing matters to be concerned with. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 12:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
The documentation explaining the differences was present on the template pages as I wrote them. If you wish to merge on that basis, feel free. I won't object. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 13:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
