Template:St John's, Cambridge (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template is a duplicate of Template:St John's College, Cambridge. Better to retain template with 'College' in the title, therefore propose deletion of this one. Johnhousefriday (talk) 20:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment I neither need, nor want two templates. For some reason, trying to edit the new template opens the edit panel for the old template, which has become awfully confusing... and since I'm not an administrator I can't seem to delete the new one. Just go ahead and delete the old (less appropriately named) template, please!(talk —Preceding undated comment was added at 10:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Template:GBthumb (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to the standard, easier to use and more flexible {{location map}}. Last transclusions replaced today. Pit-yacker (talk) 14:29, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Never mind This is 2/3 procedural nom, 1/3 misinterpretation on my part, so I'll close. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 16:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ShouldBeJPEG (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Misleading, not backed by policy. I can't see any reason why an image should be uploaded in a lossy format like jpeg. (Was listed at MFD but closed as "wrong venue"). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 03:26, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, WP:IUP#FORMAT says that photos/scans/screenshots should be in JPEG format. Kelly hi! 04:02, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, TenPoundHammer, have you actually read the image use policy? Keep.David Levy 04:39, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I must have misunderstood something. I should also quote User:Shoemaker's Holiday's reason from the mfd: "This template gives horrible advice, saying that photos must be stored in a lossy medium, instead of an appropriately lossless one for archiving. It gives no advice about quality, and could remove the original lossless photo from the use of any image editors." Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 16:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Near as I can figure, JPEG is the preferred format on WP. As to "lossy" - that is something under the control of the person converting an image to that format, and is not, per se, a reason to object. Collect (talk) 15:31, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dance 'Til Dawn (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template used to navigate around group of articles related to film, which were ultimately all merged into one article. So, the template is no longer used. Rob (talk) 02:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
