• Delete It's not broken (look at the includeonly code), and I substituted its only use. For those interested, see VPT for how this could be useful. For now, we can't handle organizing one template per citation though. –Pomte 00:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, I am responsible for this template, obviously I made some technical error in setting up the template but I will try to fix it (unless it gets deleted). Over at the chemistry desk more people have started templates for the single purpose of generating references, there is even a category devoted to it: Category:Chemistry citation templates !. Do you people have a problem with this procedure as a whole, the fact that the template has a technical problem or that the template is used once? With respect to the last point, the reference is a general chemistry reference I have intended to use more often in response to numerous requests for references in chemistry articles. Please try to get a speedy verdict, I am not going to waste my time fact checking without the proper tools V8rik (talk) 18:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I have an issue with creating a template to display a citation. The citation template is easy enough to type out; if you feel you will use this specific cite regularly, feel free to move it to your userspace and subst: it when you use it. Layers of unsubst:'ed [dynamic] templates put more load on the servers. ><RichardΩ612 18:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep after explanation by V8rik. Can propose substitution rather than transclusion at the chemistry desk or some other appropriate place. Better in templatespace than userspace since multiple people can use it. Richard0612: don't worry about the server to the extent that other editors' work gets impeded. –Pomte 07:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:List of CoolThreads Application Tuning Artciles published by Sun (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Pointless list of links to PDF files that could be spammy and is useless at best, it can be subst:'ed onto the two articles it is used in. RichardΩ612 19:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• The opposite of useless. From brief browsing this isn't a replica of any list on Sun's website. I'll leave it to people more knowledge as to whether every link applies to both articles. If yes, keep. –Pomte 01:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a guide or web directory. Some of the documents could make good references in several articles however. --Imroy (talk) 03:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Subst and Delete this one comes close to crossing the line of WP:NOT#DIRECTORY. However, the template is only used twice and each list can be maintained separately. --Farix (Talk) 03:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

• Each list can be maintained separately, but they don't have to be. Deletion just makes it more annoying for editors trying to maintain the articles, and others who may not know to ensure consistency across the two articles. –Pomte 04:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

• Subst and delete, useless collection of links (someone knowledgeable should also check for spam). Happy‑melon 18:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

• Substitute into Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, which I take to be the parent article, and remove from all other transcluding articles. Content should not be redundant in this way and the navbox at the bottom should better express this hierarchy so people can better get to this content, unless I'm mistaking the hierarchy altogether. –Pomte 01:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• I read this discussion and accepted the suggestion to move the template content into Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area. The other 10 wilderness area pages which used it now refer to that page and retain one relevant reference from the template each. You may now delete the template.

Template:Deferwps (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This can be easily typed out manually, templates are not to be used for laziness!. RichardΩ612 17:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Nominations should not be made based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT. This was created for use on the "system administration" page MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist, implemented for use by Administrators who are unfamiliar with appropriate blacklist requests/removals responses. This is designed to address listing request, that do meet blacklisting criteria, but do require attention. Because the blacklist affects every page on the English Wikipedia. Additions to this list can cause damage to wikipedia on a wide scale. Any administrator can edit the spam blacklist, however not all (1,450) admins are familiar whith the apropriate protocal. A templated option provides order and protection, while preventing wide scale disruption.--Hu12 (talk) 17:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Withdrawn. OK, I can see that a template would be useful in this instance, but I didn't make this nomination on not liking it I made it on the belief [that at the time I thought was correct] that it was redundant. ><RichardΩ612 18:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Pirates of the Caribbean character (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Redundant to {{infobox character}}.. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Redundant and unlikely to be used. ><RichardΩ612 09:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Richard--TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It is currently being used by quite a few articles, so it's obviously not "unlikely to be used". How is this redundant? It has a large number of customized parameters not present in the generic infobox. --- RockMFR 18:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. The standard infobox has extra labels that can be used for customisation. Admittedly, what I should have said is 'unlikely to be used any further. ><RichardΩ612 19:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per RockMFR - there is talk of further sequels, which would mean further characters. bd2412 T 03:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Those articles could just as easily use the generic {{infobox character}} with a couple of custom parameters, as per R0612 above. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 03:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and replace with {{Infobox character}}. Most of the "unique" fields shouldn't be on the template to begin with and is merely in-universe trivia. --Farix (Talk) 04:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep this one - clear utility, if this makes life easier for PotC-article editors, it does no harm as encapsulation for {{infobox character}}. It still has clear versatility and flexibility - it is not a hardcoded instance, for example. Happy‑melon 18:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Kill Bill Group (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Redundant to {{Infobox Organization}}. Used only in two articles.. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Redundant and unlikely to be used any further. ><RichardΩ612 09:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment My understanding is that we don't use real life templates for fictional elements. --Farix (Talk) 04:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The closest viable alternative is {{infobox fictional secret organisation}}. These templates don't add categories or any other identifiable traits, but if the "fictional" thing is such a big deal, I don't see a reason why {{infobox organization}} can't be duped into a {{infobox fictional organization}}. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 19:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• {{Infobox Organization}} is not an acceptable alternative, as TheFarix notes. Weak delete as having minimal utility. Happy‑melon 18:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete (no to Infobox Org...) use; used in only two articles; fictional org seems a good replacement. SkierRMH (talk) 21:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:Wayfinding (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Template is used in very few articles and can easily be replaced with {{Non-free symbol}} or {{Non-free logo}}. Many of the image pages which currently use the template are double-tagged with another non-free tag, which further shows its unnecessity. — –Dream out loud (talk) 04:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - it was the only tag on all three of the images I followed it to. Demonstrates clear utility as a tag on 20 or more similar images. While replacement with {{Non-free logo}} etc may be possible, it's not straightforward, and so this template clearly makes things easier for Nova-Scotia highway article editors, at least. I may change my mind if it can be proven that this template is redundant to Non-free logo (ie if it comes back up for TfD and there are no transclusions). Happy‑melon 18:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Happy‑melon 16:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
