Template:Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This template is comprised of information that belongs only in one article-the biography of Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet. Further it appears to have many external links, so it does not function as an internal navigation aid. Will Beback 22:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:BCInfobox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Infobox has been wikified and is now embedded in the actual article:Boston College. Delete this template as it is no longer needed. 136.167.226.202 20:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, it is currently being discussed on the proposed policy page Wikipedia:Root page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Backlink (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Awful idea for many reasons. Wikipedia is not, and should not, be organized hierarchically. Its use is wrong in almost every case (why would a person arriving at computer-generated imagery have followed a link from animation in particular?). Fredrik Johansson 19:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Since this template is obsoleted, I will redirect to Template:Infobox Military Conflict to prevent users from recreating it. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Keep Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The portal is not being maintained, and this template is being used to spam a link to it at the top of a large number of articles. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 09:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, unless there is a good example of how this concept is supposed to work elsewhere. Given all my browsing of Wikipedia, I suspect there isn't, and that this really belongs in userspaceland. —Rob (talk) 18:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the portal is only 2-3 weeks old and is being maintained, I've been working on it. As for the portal being spam, it is listed only on the listing of the various interstate, US, and state highways and a few related articles. I understood this is what was supposed to be done. There is no single US roads article. Portal:Oz has put the portal link on several Oz related articles.Rt66lt 01:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Except for formatting, nothing has been done since it was created. Portals are supposed to be subject-specific versions of the main page, not static pages. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 12:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. I don't see anything under Wikipedia:Portal that indicates a portal (and therefore the template) should be deleted if it doesn't get changed with any great frequency. The purpose of a portal is to "to serve as 'main pages' for specific topics or areas". That is exactly what this portal does.
  2. WikiProject pages are not intended to be used in the same manner, but instead are used to collaborate editing efforts so there is no redundancy there.
  3. The "spamming" argument is spurious: referencing the template on the project pages serves to remind editors to provide updates to the portal, therefore since it serves a purpose it is not spam.

I am not saying the portal should be deleted, only the template. I don't feel putting it at the top of this large number of articles is helpful. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 18:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Redirect page (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
If a page should be redirected, anyone who knows how to transclude the template can most likely redirect the page. If they don't know where to redirect to, the page should be deleted. As far as I can tell, the template is unused. // Pathoschild (admin / ') 07:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:MajorRevision (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This new template is completely redundant the more specific {{expand}} and {{disputed}}, which are established templates and much less garish. Superm401 - Talk 00:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
