Template:West Midlands railway stations (disused) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Redundant to {{West Midlands railway stations}} (Disused section). — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:35, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Most counties have separate navbox templates for "open" and "closed" stations. Where they are combined on a single navbox, it can get unwieldy. Compare, for example, {{Greater Manchester railway stations}} as it is now, with an older version before I moved all the closed stations to {{Closed stations Greater Manchester}}.

I note that {{West Midlands railway stations}} segregates categories by means of collapsible sections. Is there a method of having such a navbox in a page so that the relevant section is shown uncollapsed with the others all collapsed, without expecting the user to go for show/hide links? --Redrose64 (talk) 12:11, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the navigational purpose of the two templates is sufficiently different (people interested in closed railway stations are probably not interested in open ones and vice versa) that splitting these is useful, over and above the size argument. I would consider moving the word "disused" into the title bar and doing away with the label though, as single-label navboxes are weird-looking.

The Under-19 World Cup is a junior competition which does not confer notability upon those competing in it. As such it is not really notable enough to have navigational templates set up for it. Harrias ^talk 18:12, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete exactly per nom. There is no guarantee at all that U19 cricketers will end up becoming notable. These types of templates are recipes for the future creation of articles that do not meet notability requirements and an unnecessary generator of red links. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sceptic organizations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Spelling variant of {{skeptic organizations}}. None of the skeptic organizations use the British spelling in their names anyway (not even Australian Skeptics, etc.). So there should be no articles mandating British English spelling (per MOS's regional variation permission). The spelling of the title of a navbox is slightly pedantic anyway. Per all that, this unused template isn't needed. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:24, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the highly unlikely event that a spelling variant is needed a switch can be added to the original template to accommodate it anyway; there is definitely no need to maintain a fork for that purpose. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 13:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not unlikely at all; there are many articles in this template's list that use Commonwealth spelling. However, these articles use {{sceptic organisations}} (with a "c" & an "s"), which should be kept, in keeping with the spelling used in the article ... not in the name. A name's a name. Australian Labor Party still uses Australian English even though the party's name doesn't. It's just that this spelling varient hasn't ever been used in any of these articles so far; "~ize" is an acceptable varient in Commonwealth spelling but it isn't common. Adding a switch is a better solution. And there already is a switch; {{skeptic organizations|c}} does the same job (this is the code of {{sceptic organizations}}).

Superseded by {{English Benedictine Congregation}}. Unused. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:47, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. I'm not entirely sure that a larger template is a better idea; it seems to me that grouping the different aspects English Benedictines together means adding more links,, but of of less direct relevancy. It's done now, and I don't want to propose deleting the new template ... but just in case future editors take a different view, I suggest that the schools template be made into a redirect to {{English Benedictine Congregation}}, rather than deleted. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:04, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to the other one, with a switch to choose between sidebar and footer formats, so that editors can choose display presentation. 64.229.101.183 (talk) 05:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The "redirect" part is fair enough. But I don't understand why a switch needs to be provided for different styles of the template. Surely consistency across articles is better, rather than delegating to "editor's choice" on a per-case basis? — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:34, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Indeed. Options for the sake of options is not a sensible development pattern. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 13:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sidebars and footers are already substantially standardized, but I think it should be the choice of editors as to which to use, since the sidebar provides more emphasis, which can be appropriate in some articles. 64.229.101.183 (talk) 22:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Editors have already made that choice in this case, as the sidebar is orphaned. We needn't continue to maintain unused templates simply to satisfy some ideal of "choice". Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 23:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, slight T2: The use of the word "archived" implies the keeping of the article in userspace purely for storage/backup purposes, going against WP:FAKEARTICLE. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 22:15, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If by "archived" it means userfied, there is no point to this template. Articles being worked in someone's userspace are already implied to be under construction by a particular user. There seems to be a sort of hidden undercurrent of "I want to keep this revision in my userspace" too, as Train2104 pointed out.
