Template:Wesleyantime (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This template was only being used for one article (Ohio Wesleyan University). The information it contains has already been moved into that article. BryanD 20:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Prime Minister OR Template:Infobox PM

[edit]

Template:Infobox Prime Minister (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I prefer this one. But the table format is better on the other one. I have nominated that as well--GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 21:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Infobox PM and delete Infobox Prime Minister. The former is more widely used (which is to say, it's used in the first place). Mackensen (talk) 22:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, next time, please don't make the tfd nomination part of the template. Mackensen (talk) 22:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Infobox PM and Delete Infobox Prime Minister (changed vote, see below). Hasn't the decision already been made? Infobox PM is widely used and Infobox Prime Ministers is barely uses at all. Doesn't this say something about the Infoboxes, like maybe one is easier to use or simply preferred to the other? Shouldn't we leave the decision to the people who actually pick which template to put on the pages? Hera1187 07:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • You may be correct, OR users might not have been aware that the two versions existed. I just wished someone had discussed a merger on the relevant talk pages before bringing it here. Then we would know. -MrFizyx 15:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both, here me out. Template:Infobox President can do the job of these templates easily, the only field missing is Deputy PM and that can be added without any trouble. If you redirect the Template:Infobox PM and Template:Infobox Prime Minster to Template:Infobox Presidents then you wouldn’t need to change anything on the pages that Infobox PM or Infobox Prime Minsters are linked to as they would change automatically and we would have a standard template for world leaders. I would request to whom ever makes the final decision on this template to seriously consider this idea. 86.134.62.25 10:11, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's an interesting idea which does deserve consideration. I should point out that, although redirecting Infobox Prime Minster to Infobox President would work brilliantly, it would not work as well with Infobox PM as some of the field names are different. You could in theory allow for this by adding some If Statements on to Infobox President but you would probably have to change every page Infobox PM is linked to. Even so, it would be good to have a standard template for heads of government on Wikipedia and I do think it should be considered but it wouldn’t be as straight forward as 86.134.62.25 suggested. Philip Stevens 11:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree. Presidents are heads of state, prime ministers are heads of government. The two are not the same. Mackensen (talk) 13:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Philip Stevens 13:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The field names of template:Infobox President can be easily adjusted to accommodate for both. I'm sorry Mackensen, but your comments about heads of government and heads of state are silly. Yes they have different roles but their infoboxs would show the same information. If you disagree, have a look at Gordon Brown's page where template:Infobox PM is being used quite nicely. I would argue that the roles of a head of government and a head of state are more similar than a Prime Minister and a Chancellor of the Exchequer. Hera1187 15:11, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, indeed, because there's a hack in there so that the template can be used for German Chancellors (note the {{{country-de}}} field. The roles of Prime Minister and President (or head of state and head of government) are vastly different from each other. Are you seriously maintaining that Tony Blair and Elizabeth II do something similar? Or Jacques Chirac and Dominique de Villepin? As compared to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, both members of parliament and Cabinet colleagues. There is a need for separate templates because the offices are different. It is silly to have Template:Infobox President on an article about a Prime Minister. We shouldn't be perpetuating this kind of intellectual sloppiness. Similarly, an Infobox Politician is far too broad for the specific needs addressed by this template. Mackensen (talk) 16:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • How about {{Infobox Politician}}? --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 15:39, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, there's utility in binding all Prime Ministers with one template. I suppose this could be extended to all politicians. if one wanted. It made sense to me to have a specific template for such individuals, particluarly when they held prominent office. Mackensen (talk) 16:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The proposal, as it stands, appears to be to delete both templates for no apparent reason other than the notion that all politicians should have the same template. Numerous technical and semantic objections have been raised; not the least of which is the difficulty of converting one template to the other as they do not handle all functions in a similar fashion and Infobox PM has been tailored to its subject, just as Infobox President has. There's no reason to upset the status quo; if templates are to be merged they should be discussed on those templates pages. Mackensen (talk) 21:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep one, redirect the other I don't care which is kept or which is redirected, but neither should be deleted. Proposals to consolidate this infobox into a generic politicians or leaders box can be dealt with outside this forum.--cj | talk 05:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Infobox PM, which is widely used. --Aude (talk | contribs) 15:14, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Future spaceflight

[edit]

Template:Future spaceflight (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template is redundant, useless and not helpful to Wikipedia. The {{current}} template perfectly fits instead of this. Kirils 13:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If we're going to bring WP:NOT into it, there is a precident - List of scheduled rocket launches (now List of spaceflights (2006)). The result was keep. --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 20:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per Rory096 -MrFizyx 21:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Rory096. Sophy's Duckling 23:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Rory --larsinio (poke)(prod) 21:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Rory096. In addition, Future Spaceflight is particularly unique, in that spaceflight rarely occurs on its originally set date, unlike Album and Movie releases. It is a very good header to start a page off with, so, right off the bat, the user knows that the flight hasn't happened yet and thus the article is largely background and conjecture.
  • Keep; I'll add to Rory096's input that a spaceflight launch is the culmination of years of planning and development work in most cases and is in fact the mid-point of the 'mission', the actual endpoint coming years after the flight when all of the accumulated data has been analyzed. Thus, the flight itself is a major event, but only one event in a long process. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
