These templates have all been replaced by Template:Infobox Planet, and are no longer used on any articles. It might be worthwhile moving the comments on the talk pages into the talk pages of the respective articles. Mike Peel 19:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was deletion. RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 00:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC) The intent of this is to insert it after you link to a WP:PAGE to indicate that you're linking to an essay rather than policy. While well-intended, this seems to imply that if you omit the template, you are linking to policy, which is of course false. The problem lies in people who believe that saying e.g. "merge per WP:FICT" somehow implies that WP:FICT is policy. See Wikipedia:Per for details. >Radiant< 15:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. We have policies, guidelines, the manual of style, and essays. In all cases, when an editor says "per WP:____", they're stating that the article in question expresses their views. Something doesn't have to be official policy to be a good idea. Indeed we don't want too many things to be official policy -- a collection of common sense essays and guidelines should carry us through most decisions. -/- Warren 15:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete since it's an unused template, but a comment to make on this... Wikipedia:Per seems to have been created solely to support this TfD by the nominator, thus creating a perfect example of how Essays can be abused. --Barberio 15:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Warren. Seems a rather silly template. Shall we start meta-tagging each citation of Wikipedia space?--LeflymanTalk 20:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There are two things this will lead too, both bad. One, it will cause people to say "Oh, well, I'll just ignore you since you don't have a policy", and two, as cited by the nom, it will cause people to say "That's not a policy, you idiot, you can't do things 'per' it!" And the advantage is... people who are too lazy to actually read the thing linked know it's an essay. What? -Amarkov blahedits 03:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral (as creator of template) The purpose of this was to label links as being to essays rather than policy (as WP:NOTPOLICY (essay, not policy) suggests); it dates from the time when WP:N was an essay, and people kept on using it on AfD as the sole deletion reason. This behaviour may have been defensible, but in my opinion when quoting an essay it's important to think about the policies that lie behind it (for instance, in the case of WP:N, you can say that if something's non-notable then there's no reason to include it (WP:NOT#INDISCRMINATE) and that it's unlikely to have reliable sources (WP:RS, WP:V)). By the way, it appears to have no transclusions because it's designed for subst, but I'm not sure if anyone else ever used it. --ais523 16:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

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

It's loud, rude, and in any case calls for improper (in)action; in case of speedy deletable-articles, they should be deleted notwithstanding recent creation, for example. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 09:14, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Anime games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

As discussed at here, the genres listed are to be considered part of renai games, and anime game is to be on video games based on anime.--SeizureDog 04:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
