October 18

[edit]

Template:Infobox Cheerleading Squad

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete after substituting. Of the ten transclusions, only five actively use the optional wrapper params. If this template were more widely used, I could see it staying, but {{infobox sports team}} does have the blanklabel/data params which can be used if necessary.

Unnecessary wrapper of {{Infobox sports team}}. Used on only ten articles. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:53, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete (after first adapting uses) If ten pages all need the same special treatment, for the same reason, then a wrapper is useful; unlike the above commentors, I think 10 is easily a large enough number that this makes maintenance easier than harder. However, this assumes that the pages actually need special treatment. As Pigsonthewing's diff above shows, that doesn't seem to be the case for this particular template. --ais523 21:35, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Collaboration template; last updated 2013. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:18, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep or mark inactive/historical. All attempts at collaborative editing are important to keep a record of in case of future review/reactivation etc. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:54, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Casliber: (arbitrarily choosing the most recent of these listings in which to ask the question): Quite a few of these old, unused templates marking defunct collaborations have been deleted recently. These frequently use dated or nonstandard formatting or are badly constructed (like this one), and are unwieldy enough that anyone trying to revive the effort would do better to create new templates. Many of them are vaguely embarrassing, left moldering on talk pages with such old dates. The associated wikiproject pages, where the actual attempts at collaborative editing happened, are of course preserved; it's just particular implementations of those attempts, unlikely to be useful in the future, that are being nominated for deletion.

  • Delete. Serves no purpose at the moment, completely unused for years, and no hint that it will become relevant in the future. This can always be undeleted if need be, but the chances of that happening are tiny. ~ RobTalk 07:35, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging.

No need for three templates. The resultant merged template should be available as a parent for a barnstar templates, in the manner of {{Tmbox}} Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just four transcusions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:17, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep It shouldn't be transcluded: someone should fix the problem and remove the template. I'm not sure if this is really that necessary for en.wp but the fact that it's unused is actually a good thing. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:07, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment wouldn't this be {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} ?-- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This seems to be a version of {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} that's intended for things other than images (such as categories and galleries). The situation's unlikely to come up that often, but the templates need to be sufficiently different in content (e.g. this one doesn't need to have such a focus on licensing) that merging them would likely be difficult. One big problem here may be that this is populating a maintenance category that nobody's likely to know about, and as such it's not likely to produce the desired effect.
  • The bigger problem, though, comes from looking at how the template is used in practice: it's being placed, not on existing content (categories full of images, etc.) that might need transwiki-ing, but on article talk pages as a request to create a corresponding Commons category/gallery. This is something that has nothing to do with Wikipedia; it's the equivalent of implementing Wikipedia:Requested articles via placing templates on pages with the corresponding name on Wikibooks. Uses of this template should thus probably be aimed at an appropriate project page on Commons instead (assuming there is one; I can't find one, and have asked on Commons about how this situation should be handled). --ais523 08:02, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
    • Update: the opinion from Commons seems to be that there's no need for a process page at Commons because it would be possible to just create the category/gallery yourself, and I think I agree with that. At any rate, a maintenance category on enwiki definitely seems to be the wrong place. --ais523 15:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

A random sample of transclusions of the first template show it remaining on article talk pages for between five and ten years. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless template, see discussion at WT:CRIC#Newly created template. T20 cricket has only been around 10ish years, and as a result not many people have done this- and scoring 1 century ever in a Test or ODI is not a significant achievement. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:21, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
