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

1. No compelling reason users would want to navigate amongst DBs incorporated into Bioinformatic Harvester (BH) 2. The template is out of scope on each page - each article in the template has no relation with BH - spam 3. Equivalent to having a google (and every search engine) nav box on every website article 4. better as a list on the BH article (correct place), and/or a category Widefox (talk) 23:37, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a data point from Bioinformatic Harvester. The actual databases themselves are not notably associated with BH such that one would particularly want or need to navigate by that link. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:HSV Hoek squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Squad template about a tiny team from the amateur Hoofdklasse league (level 4, two below professionalism). Angelo (talk) 22:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't think the status of the team/league should be the issue but the number of red v blue links. At present, only about a third of the names are blue links. I'm not sure if this is generally regarded as enough to keep? Eldumpo (talk) 13:49, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the squad listed there is from the old 2010-11 season, when the club played Topklasse (one level above, they were relegated at the end of the season). --Angelo (talk) 23:26, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you're saying that the squad list is out of date and that some of the blue-linked players are no longer with the club then perhaps the template should be deleted. Eldumpo (talk) 11:44, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Fibre sidebar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused vertical sidebar. A horizontal version exists at Template:Fibers. No reason for the two to co-exist, especially if this one is unused. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair comments. I created it as I thought it'd be useful but clearly not enough people are interested in a fascinating topic such as fibre. If the consensus is to get rid of it, can I ask that it be userfied as it was my first "Series" sidebar and the code will come in handy when I make others. Thank you. Claret Ash 11:09, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge since it should be user preference when writing articles as to use a sidebar or footer. Just add a switch to the footer to choose sidebar or footer, and integrate this there. 70.24.248.23 (talk) 07:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sidebar should never have been unused. I've checked back through my contribs. I began to add the template to articles but stopped to deal with other things and never got back to it. (I was off WP for a while). As the purpose of the sidebar is to emphasise that the constituent articles are in a series, my intention was to put the sidebar on primary articles in the series and leave the navbar for the basic articles. Several of the constituent articles lack infoboxes and the like and I think a sidebar will enhance those articles where a navbar would only be lost at the bottom. I've since re-added the template to various articles. If the consensus at the various articles allows the sidebar to remain, could that be considered consensus here also? Claret Ash 09:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- A series? Really? I can sort of understand that different fibres are of a sufficiently similar category that one might want a navbox to navigate between them, but that's hardly sufficient to warrant calling that a series of articles. Considering that this duplicates {{fibers}} and is both unused and very recent by comparison I don't think we need to keep it. No prejudice on userfying if Claret does indeed want to work on turning this into a series sidebar, though as I say I don't really think there's enough to say on the subject to warrant calling it a "series". Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, a series. Really. There are several articles (as well as a couple of potential articles) that can be developed to help explain an aspect of human culture that has played so great a part in our history, from basic clothing through to the industrial revolution. If nothing else, it should encourage a little more interest in a not so small collection of articles that, surprisingly, are still quite a ways from being FA status. As for the duplication, there is ample precedent for dual navbar/sidebar sets. This has been explained better in the template's documentation. Both templates are now in use as I'd originally intended. I apologise for the delay in rolling out this template. Claret Ash 12:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - It is important to note the distinction between "Wikipedia does not prohibit the existence of both a sidebar and a navbox on the same subject" and "editors are encouraged to create duplicate sidebars for anything we have navboxes for". Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Personally, I prefer sidebars as they make an interesting accompaniment to an article, like a side dish with a main meal. Navbars are an afterthought, dumped down the bottom due to failing inspiration, like a WP:GALLERY. I'd rather see an article with sidebars and infoboxes than one with an ugly clump of navbars cluttering up teh bottom. If the argument is to remove one of the duplicates, why not remove the navbar?
Delete as redundant and distracting. Just removed it from mineral. The footer template is adequate and "out of the way" of article content. In addition the "-re" spelling used makes it rather odd as on the fiber article. I don't care which spelling is used, but a fibre sidebar on the fiber article ... Vsmith (talk) 11:55, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I've altered the spelling to the predominant version. (Incidentally, you might like to consider that some of us find the American spelling distracting.) I agree with you about Mineral. I've corrected the links to accomodate. Hope this helps. Claret Ash 12:43, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's been ten days now and at least one of the reasons for the nom is now redundant, plus there's obviously no consensus. Does anyone else have anything to add to this discussion? Claret Ash 22:36, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
