Template:Back to the Future character 2 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
I have merged the functionalities of this template (allow to disply a different set of reference years) into template:Back to the Future character and replaced it's use. It is unnecessary now. Circeus 19:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Deletebecause:Needs to be WDGG-FM (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Doesn't make any sense, and simply using the db template would likely be shorter if the message on the template is ever needed. Also, the reason given doesn't seem to be any of the criteria for speedy deletion, which would be expected on a speedy template. ais523 14:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template too huge to be used in any page. CG 13:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Nationalanthemsofafrica and Template:Nationalanthemsofeurope created. More to follow. Badagnani 02:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Many of the links don't actually go to the anthems; could you unlink those or otherwise make it more clear that they aren't pointing to the proper place? Night Gyr 04:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am working very hard at this. Badagnani 05:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, I think a single-column list for the right side of anthem articles would be a much easier format. The current version is a big mass that makes it hard to scan and find a specific item. Night Gyr 04:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have an example of this? I'd like to see what such a list would look like. Badagnani 05:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking like we have for episodes of the simpsons. See how Dancin' Homer has a single column list down the right hand side of every episode for the season? It's easier to pick out items from a list that keeps them aligned, because the eye can just scan vertically to the desired first letter, rather than trying to look through a jumble. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 07:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at Dancing Homer but the (numbered) list was only about 25 items long. I think there must be over 200 countries and other states in the full anthems list. With smaller lists like the anthems of Central America template I've made it's not so hard because there are only 7 nations. But with Africa, the World, and other continents with many countries it does get a bit long. Badagnani 17:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox PM (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
On 7 June 2006 Infobox:Prime Minister was put up for deletion. In the debate it was suggested that Infobox_Prime Minister and Infobox_PM should be deleted and redirected to Template:Infobox President in order to have a standard template for office holders on Wikipedia. Infobox_Prime Minister was deleted and I redirected it to Template:Infobox President, this now serves the purpose of Template:Infobox_PM, so it is no longer needed.

Template:WOW-real (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
And the point is, what exactly? Redundant to Template:WoW, inappropriate tone "is, of course..." Used on one userpage, and that person wasn't the original Willy on Wheels anyway. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 07:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:James Bond characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Huge. Duplicates categories and list articles that are already in place. K1Bond007 04:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree it's huge, and often larger than the articles themselves, but it is useful, possibly more useful than the lists. Certainly better looking. Maybe it needs to be split into smaller templates? Andymarczak 10:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But we already have them in categories. All it does is duplicate that. What possible purpose does this have? There is no order here or better organization. According to Wikipedia:Template namespace: "Templates should also not be used to create lists of links to other articles when a category or a See also list can perform the same function." — clearly this template violates that. K1Bond007 19:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
They are still useful as navigation templates. Even though you cited the rules, it appears that such templates are supported by teh community. For instance, another user attempted to nominate Template:Mario series and Template:Zelda series for deletion (see archive entry), also with the same justification, and was unilaterally shot down. Hbdragon88 20:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The reason that these templates remain is because the average user does not use the categories. Navigation templates are far more accessable as long as they are relavent and not too large.--SomeStranger(t) 21:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Which italics? The ones in the template itself for the individual pages? Or the ones for the heading (James Bond is in italics)?--SomeStranger(t) 23:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The italics in the box text, the names of the characters. Type face is small, and italics makes it even harder to read. Badagnani 00:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
