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

This template, designed to be placed on the top of articles, does not appear to be useful for that purpose as it does not indicate any specific action needed to fix the article. "Acceptable" in acceptable standards links to the good article criteria; I support the good article process, but saying the article is "unencyclopedic" unless it meets the good article criteria seems well outside current Wikipedia policy. Is the intent to place this template on top of the 3,000,000+ articles that are neither good articles or featured articles? Finally, note there is also a Template:Ua completely unrelated to this one that could easily lead to confusion. Grondemar 23:49, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Abercrombie & Fitch people (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant, Template:Infobox person can be used in this situation, no need for a separate template for Abercrombie & Fitch people that is terribly bulky, and looks out of place IMO. Connormahtalk 22:58, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

When a table needs 300 rows, much better to use the wiki table syntax directly than use a template to produce a table. Particularly horrible to edit a table with row1 to row200 used and needing to insert a row towards the middle of the table as would need to renumber a lot of parameters to add the row. WOSlinker (talk) 16:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I originally created this template for personal use in my user space, when I needed a table larger than the typical Template:Table, and I thought that it may be of some use to other users. I note that it is currently in use at Ark of Taste, and that the conventional Template:Table would not be able to replace it there. I strongly agree with what WOSlinker has said; that using the syntax directly would be more sensible. However, as far as I was aware, the very idea of "table templates" was to make it simpler for users who may not be familiar with such syntax to produce a table, although, I'm not really too fussed if it's decided that this template is just taking that philosophy a little too far. I would, however, appreciate it if someone could take the time to convert the instance of the table at Ark of Taste to wiki-syntax, if indeed it is decided that this template should be deleted. Kind regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 17:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll be willing to update the Ark of Taste article if the consensus is to delete this template. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Harry Potter character (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Duplicates {{Infobox character}}, which is more versatile. Only 8 transclusions, so I replaced them. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
