[edit] Template:Arrested Development

Template:Arrested Development (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Template was previously nominated, but was kept as it was still used. Now unused, as all the pages it links to have now been merged to Characters from Arrested Development. — sjorford (talk) 09:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, unused. Royboycrashfan 20:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/Comment, it is a good template, keep it. However, it should be on every page it links to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Domthedude001 (talk • contribs) .
  • There are no such pages - all the links on the template now redirect to Characters from Arrested Development. — sjorford (talk) 10:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Conditionals

Template:Infobox Conditionals (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Redundant: Duplicates (more-or-less) the content of Template:Infobox, which now contains examples of conditionals. --Marknew 08:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - The 'conditional war' is (hopefully) over and the new '#if:' feature has been integrated into 'Template:Infobox' thus making this separate template for demonstrating conditional logic redundant. --CBDunkerson 10:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

  Struck vote for now following the reversion of Template:Infobox to remove the #if: conditionals. If those are excluded from 'Infobox' then 'Infobox Conditionals' is no longer redundant. There is a straw poll to help decide whether there should be two (or more) example templates or one. --CBDunkerson 22:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Conditionals are evil, because they present a barrier to template editors who don't have advanced programming knowledge. Simple is good. -- Netoholic @ 19:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

  comment: so because some ‘template editors’ (what are those?) — who probably won't need to edit these templates — might not have programming knowledge, we shouldn't make life easier for article editors? I'm not sure I follow your logic. ericg ✈ 17:36, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, contrary to what Netoholic believes, conditionals simplify templates and make them more accessible to editors using them. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Dino

Template:Dino (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Non-scientifically named template which contains only five words. The template was created and used on four pages, but subsequently was removed from all four pages (by me) because the single sentence inside the template ("This animal is a dinosaur.") was redundant: each article already stated that fact. No further information was given, no discussion was made anywhere before the template was created, and the template now links to nothing. User who created the template is a new editor on WikiPedia and is not familiar with WP processes or the general guidelines used on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs.--Firsfron 01:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per CBDunkerson Nhprman 16:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not likely to be used. Royboycrashfan 21:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. But this template is not just unlikely to be used; it can't be used. A sentence that defines the animal as a dinosaur would quite likely be followed by what type of dinosaur it was, which cannot be added to the template, unless all dinosaurs used with this generic dinosaur template are the same kind of dinosaur. And an editor who wanted to add information on the animal might likely be confused that a sentence was suddenly "missing" in the article, replaced with the ambiguous "template:dino", when s/he goes to edit the article. You can imagine the "fun" an editor might have trying to edit such an article. --Firsfron 21:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete for the record, my vote.--Firsfron 21:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, You don't need a template that says simply five words... It won't kill someone to write it... As CBDunkerson said, someone new is learning the ropes, probably testing ... --Domthedude001 21:00, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
