Template:Disputeabout

[edit]

Template:Disputeabout (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
We have {{dubious}}, so why should this be used? I think it might cause a new user or casual web surfer to believe Wikipedia is more unreliable than it actually is. It also can give information that is better placed on the talk page with a link to it. Delete after orphaning for this. (Note that we have lots of uses which all have to be orphaned manually due to the nature of this template.) On the other hand, the other information may be useful if the fact is spread throughout the article but the entire article is not disputed. Keep in that case.

For examples, see Operation Sundevil and Road rage (where I found out about the then broken template in the first place, and fixed it). Invitatious 23:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seeing this, people should use this template as it seems to serve a good purpose of allowing a brief general summary of exact dispute so people can come to the talk page knowing exactly what to discuss rather than fishing through what could be some long talk pages looking for what in the world the dispute is. Kevin_b_er 01:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I actually think this is the most useful dispute template. The user can instantly see what the dispute is about without reading the Talk page. MrTroy 09:18, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:StormWatch

[edit]

This is a weather-specific disclaimer and Wikipedia doesn't do disclaimers. It's unnecessary to point out that Wikipedia doesn't carry up to the date weather information anyway because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a wire news weather service. --Cyde↔Weys 15:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See also Template:HurricaneWarning for a similar template that was kept. It is designed with the Wikipedia-illiterate in mind. With the media picking up on this and even using this as a resource sometimes, we need a special disclaimer. Hence, Keep. CrazyC83 15:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Colored boxes at the top of pages are ugly though, and their use should be minimized. I just don't see any possible confusion with people coming to an encyclopedia looking for current weather news. --Cyde↔Weys 15:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep although the Template:HurricaneWarning is generic enough to merge here. I think this is a case to bend the no disclaimer policy for three reasons: (1) Wikipedia results tend to place high in searches, (2) it is temporary and removed once dangerous conditions subside, (3) the "current" tag is a disclaimer when you think about it. —Twigboy 15:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. It is put up only in serious conditions, such as when there is a Flood Warning for above major flood stage, a Blizzard Warning for a serious event, or a PDS Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm Watch. It is always taken down when the watches or warnings end. CrazyC83 23:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to be of wide applicability.--Brownlee 12:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The looks of a template can be changed without deletion; and unlike other cases, will not require massive redesign. This is essentially an equivalent of a current events tag, qualifying an article when it is a current event; the emphasis on geography is warranted; it doesn't seem to be lingering on any articles. (and the Keep on Hurricane warning was quite strong Septentrionalis 19:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete hides what should be plain on sight, if propagates, would make almost impossible to automatically deal with categories using bots. -- Drini 20:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Category

[edit]

This template is basically a shorthand for setting the sorting seed, so instead of typing [[Category:xxxx|{{PAGENAME}}]] you type {{Category|xxxx}}. This template is non-obvious at first glance and sows confusion over how categories work. In addition, it messes up bots, which are just looking for [[Category:xxxx]] on pages. There shouldn't be alternate syntaxes for assigning categories, and seeing an alternate {{Category|xxxx}} strewn about rather than the standard wiki way is going to confuse people. I will, of course, substitute this template before deletion. --Cyde↔Weys 13:36, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User Jimbo v. Willy

[edit]

Template:User Jimbo v. Willy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
While I find it funny, I nevertheless have come to find that attention-seeking vandals such as Willy keep coming back because of all the glorification that they receive. If individual users want this template on their pages, then that's up to them, but I believe that this template should be deleted from template namespace per WP:DFTT.--Conrad Devonshire Talk 07:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cartoon Wars

[edit]

Template:Cartoon Wars (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
As much as I love South Park, I find this template redudant. A template for a 2 part episode isn't needed. Links to either part of the episode are easily accessed in the episode list for that season. Douglasr007 07:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Country_infobox_data_(multiple TfDs)

[edit]

The following is list of Templates that were created during the standardization process of the various country specific templates to the standard Template: Infobox country. Notice of TfD was given on that talk page. The original list of these templates is located at: Template_talk:Infobox_Country#country_infobox_table. These templates only hold data and are probably out of date now. This delete will not affect the respective country articles or infoboxes. There is no longer a need for them. This vote is to delete all of the following templates:

Speedy Delete. No longer needed. —MJCdetroit 01:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I switch those two to the standard. It is ok to delete all. Thanks for catching that. These templates that are up for deletion were never intended to be used in an article. They were intended to hold the data while the infoboxes were standardized.--MJCdetroit 12:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
