Template:BCD

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

Having a template for the name of a user (User:Δ) seems an inappropriate use of template space. The template name is also misleading, as it has nothing to do with BCD. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 05:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or force user back to BetaCommand as a username. Either one works. Jclemens (talk) 05:13, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see the logic here. If I pick ₵₧ℳ¢₩ as my user name, am I allowed a template for it? Have mörser, will travel (talk) 05:21, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
An uncontroversial solution would be to move the template into BetaCommand's userspace. I'd far rather this were simply deleted, however; WP:SIG#Non-Latin is formulated to encourage non-Western editors to contribute to our encyclopedia, not to encourage our core demographic to use wacky usernames for the thrill of it. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 08:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - useful, harmless. –xeno^talk 12:17, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - An utterly harmless, easy and cheap solution. It is not like we need the serverspace, or that it is in the way of something more important. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:33, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - saves having to dig through the character map. Wouldn't oppose userification. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 16:16, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Given how often User:Δ is discussed, I think this template is very practical and makes those discussions easier to participate in; on the flipside, I also realize that this solution absolutely will not scale if done for many users. Userfying into Δ's userspace would utterly defeat the purpose of the template. Would moving to a subpage of User:Betacommand be acceptable? That, or I suppose we could set up some "meta" user, as with User:UBX. Regardless, if this template is deleted, I presume that all current uses of it should be subst'ed. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:45, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - Your name change and creating that template borders on a WP:POINT violation --Guerillero | My Talk 22:48, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Assume good faith, please. I quickly found that others had trouble referring to my old user name because it was too long. So, I changed it to something short. By now all short Latin user names I've tried have been taken. As for the {{NYB}} template, I genuinely felt a need for that, because I always forget the capitalization (New York Brad, NewYorkBrad?) and I'm pretty lazy when it comes to typing myself. I assumed that templates should not be created just for a few users' convenience in typing, but as it's said above: useful & harmless. Have a good day! Uʔ (talk) 23:00, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - When the evidence points in one direction its better to be up front. --Guerillero | My Talk 00:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I didn't create a template for my user name; I created a template for a name I type sometimes, and which I have genuinely trouble remembering. Also, there's no NYB, so not much confusion there. If it bothers you so much, nominate it for deletion, and I'll resort to just typing NYB as I did before. Uʔ (talk) 09:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        
        And by the way, do you think this BCD template should be kept or deleted? I think that's the main purpose of the current discussion. Uʔ (talk) 09:24, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Oh that small thing....Keep or rename to delta.--Guerillero | My Talk 13:35, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rename it's just a Delta symbol, it shouldn't have an obscure name like BCD. It should be called "DELTA" (since it's capital delta) Template:DELTA should do. If it were to actually link to the user... then it could be called Template:Wikipedian BCD or Template:User BCD or whatever but, it doesn't link to the user in any way. The template as it currently exists clearly has many uses outside of being a shortcut for typing the user's name, since it could be used as a shortcut for typing Capital Delta. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 07:57, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, should potential encyclopedic usage prevail given that the template is currently not used for that purpose? What if the user changes his name again? It would be easier to just type the new one in the current template. If you think it's useful to have one for mainspace with a more correlated title, you should probably create a separate template for that. Uʔ (talk) 09:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - But BCD has uses nothing to do with this user, and exists in articlespace. Particularly, Binary Coded Decimal (since we're on computers right now). So "BCD" is a bad name all around. If we were to rename it Template:DELTA, then a redirect from Template:User BCD could be created. When the user renames himself, the redirect could be rebuilt as a template to the new name. Though I don't see why it doesn't just have Δ (talk · contribs) instead of just Δ as its contents. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 05:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
delete, or rename as suggested above (DELTA, User BCD, ...) or merge with {{delta}}. Having templates for specific users does not look like a good idea, as it leads to cluttering the namespace. - Nabla (talk) 10:47, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment shouldn't this be made a substitution template? These transclusions must surely add unnecessary loading on the servers, and there's the issue with the transclusion limit, so any large scale discussion with many transclusions may go over the limit, breaking templates on that page. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 04:46, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agree with previous comment, that if it stays, should be a substitution only template. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:48, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as useful; other users with non-Latin characters and/or symbols should also have templates to make it easier to refer to them when needed. — CharlieEchoTango — 05:13, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note. There are two parallel discussions to rename this template on its talk page! ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 12:50, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The template instructions even say that you can type Δ to get Δ, the exact-same number of characters as {{BCD}} and with less overhead. I see no reason for this template to exist. –Grondemar 23:18, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is the same total number of characters, but it is 7 individual, fairly widely spread characters, requiring alternating shifting, instead of 5 characters conveniently located close to eachother all typed while holding the shift key. –xeno^talk 16:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - Indeed, the template was created for the convenience of others, not necessarily for the convenience of Δ. –xeno^talk 17:02, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note. The template was moved to Template:DELTA by consensus on the talk page. I suppose the rest of the discussion is about the redirect from BCD to DELTA. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete {{BCD}} and {{DELTA}} and add uppercase output to {{delta}}. No need for multiple templates. — Bility (talk) 22:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No need? The lack of a Δ key on my keyboard and an editor who has chosen a difficult-to-type username who finds themselves being discussed by the community regularly generates a need. There is no shortage of templatespace, and this convenient typing-aid has proven valuable in addressing Δ in the manner he has chosen. –xeno^talk 16:30, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    - Reply that doesn't make sense to me. The three param and two param versions do not use capital Δ, indeed, if they were capitalized, they would be wrong, since the uses for the three and two param versions require the small δ . 70.24.248.23 (talk) 06:32, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I was simply trying to make the template as flexible as possible. And it does work with no (other) parameters, which is good enough unless you want WP:SUBST (then we need a separate template and it might as well be this one; OTOH Δ isn't that difficult to type in the first place). --N Y Kevin @783, i.e. 17:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant to {{Infobox settlement}}. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 12:32, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a frontend to infobox settlement, so of course it's "redundant", the question is if there is any value added by the frontend. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it's not very useful as a frontend.--Lady Pablo (talk) 00:28, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – This template seems clearly useful to me. The fact that it was initially poorly written is irrelevant, as demonstrated by the impressive revamping work that several of you have done on it! As it stands now, my impression is that:

Template {{Infobox settlement}} has 72 parameters (in a simple scenario!). By contrast, template {{French municipal arrondissement}} has 27 parameters and is much easier to use.
Parameters of {{Infobox settlement}} are vague and generic (as they should be for such a general template). By contrast, those of {{French municipal arrondissement}} have names that precisely match the data and therefore promote accuracy. For example, "mayor" and “deputy” are more helpful than “leader_name” and “leader_name1”. And, needless to say, "insee" is much more helpful than "blank_info_sec1" (a generic placeholder parameter designed to input custom information).
Several parameters are set with default values that not only reduce the typing burden but, more usefully, avoid spelling or formatting inconsistencies and make future improvements easier. For example, the generic parameter “leader_title” is set to value “mayor”; similarly, “leader_title1” is set to a link to page Deputies of the 12th French National Assembly, which already needs to be updated to point to Deputies of the 13th French National Assembly; that will be easier done just once in the template than in every instance of its 45 (or so) transclusions.

In short, it seems obvious to me that {{Infobox settlement}}, because of its complexity and its genericity, is a prime candidate for the creation of template shortcuts like {{French municipal arrondissement}}. I think that it is, in fact, the proper way to use it.
