Article Feedback Tool templates

[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 Keep, but remove any uses from the mainspace. ~ RobTalk 15:34, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Article Feedback Tool: "AFT5 was removed from all Wikimedia wikis on March 3, 2014." Therefore, no need for these templates to be left on pages. See Category:Wikipedia feedback pages for pages that use it and see wasted posts made there in the last 30 days. Anything related to AFT is wasting time of any newbie who thinks it is still used. There are probably more useless pages related to AFT if anyone wants to weed them out. Rgrds. --64.85.216.192 (talk) 15:36, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion - Far right politicians and parties of sweden, but it includes nazis too. I think its really wrong - some kind of guilty by association. (Alternatively it could be renamed to nazism in Sweden (e.g. remove everything but the nazis)) Christian75 (talk) 14:43, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep This template is about far-right, ie racist and nazi politics. These parties are to a large extent associated with each other and often share members and history. This proposal is based either on a misunderstanding, or possibly a desire to whitewash the history of some of these groups. --OpenFuture (talk) 22:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a useful navigation device for related groups and individuals in Sweden. It is not guilt by association, since these groups are connected, although there is an attempt for the far right today to distance itself from the pre-1945 far right. The Sweden Democrats for example banned the wearing of Nazi uniforms by its members in 1996, but the group's origins can be traced back to the pre-war National League of Sweden which was pro-Nazi.

  • Oppose there are many world championships in any year, the proposed target is missing many of them. Any comprehensive footer would be very large and unfocused. Further the proposed target even currently excludes world club championships, so isn't even meant to be comprehensive. At best, each sanctioning body should have a set index listing all their championships per year (such as creating one for 2016 UCI World Championships) and that should be what "Template:World championships in 2016" navigates between, and not individual championships unless the sanctioning body only sanctions one championship. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:34, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. It's clear that viewers of the UCI World Championship subpages would want to navigate to other UCI World Championship subpages, but it's not clear at all that someone looking at cycling world championship pages would care about other sport world championships. More importantly, these templates don't serve the same purpose. One navigates to other sports, while the other navigates among subpages of a single event. ~ RobTalk 15:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Cycling template is redundant with the other one with all world championships. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 10:04, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

70.51.46.39, The footer will not become too larger. See for instance the 2016 footer Template:World championships in 2016 that includes almost all World Championships and can easily expanded with more, without becoming unfocused. Your 2nd point, cycling doesn't have club world championships. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 12:42, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That 2016 template most definitely does not contain everything There are many world championships missing from that template. And it specifically excludes several world championships, so is a poor use of the pagename. Club championships exists in several sports, the target templates exclude them, which is not the same as all world championships, since they are excluded for seemingly arbitrariness. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 04:29, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
70.51.46.39 can you give the many names of the world championships that are missing in the templates? Besides of that, adding the club world championships to that template is another discussion and should not be done here. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 16:56, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The most famous world championship in the world is a club and individual championship, the Formula One World Championship which is completely missing from the template, as is the MotoGP World Championship. WJHC is also missing from that template. There are a multitude of world championships in the vein of WJHC that are missing from all these year templates. The year templates should not link to individual championships, but instead should link to topic area per year lists. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:21, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So this is not a reason not to merge the templates: seperate templates for junior and club world championships can be made and the motor world championship can be added to the template.What you want is a whole (unnessary) new structure. What you can do is propose a new template, but that is off-topic for this discussion. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 07:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Formula One driver's championship is also an individual title that is not won by the team. As I said, the separation of the club championships makes no sense with a template under this title. And similarly for senior, junior, etc, since you already want to add disabled athletes, why single out oldtimers and the young? And we still are missing individual non-old non-young non-disabled world championships from that template. Further we have {{UCI World Championships}} -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:00, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Junior or Senior championships are separate events, and are as such already singled out and not by us. Having a "Junior world championships", a "Senior world championships" and a "World championships" template make perfect sense. That said I have no opinion on the merging, I think the World Championships template needs to be expanded first, to see how big it is. If it gets too big it makes sense to "spread out" over many templates. --OpenFuture (talk) 11:22, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Seniors and Juniors and Club ones are still world championships, there is no reason for a template called "World Championships" to exclude any of them if it is being used to list all "World Championships" instead of listing navigation pages to world championships (or if the sport/sanctioning body only has one, that particular one) If this template is meant to exclude them because tournaments have age restrictions (and several do have minimums) then the template should not be called "World Championships" without restriction, it should add a term to it to indicate it isn't clubs or the young, etc. like Template:2016 adult individual competitor world championships or somesuch, and leave "2016 world championships" for general navigation for all world championships (as I have already said for what it should be used for, sports/sanctioning body based navigation pages) -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 04:33, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:State leaders by year

[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 keep in favor of merging the linked articles. Opabinia regalis (talk) 08:12, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template is ridiculously long; should rather be split between centuries, instead (as per Tavix). --Neve–selbert 07:14, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss my merge idea at Talk:List of state leaders in the 1st century. tahc chat 22:56, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Since nobody seemed to discuss the topic there: I don't see the point of having these lists per year. Very few state leaders sit just a year or less, so most of these lists are just redundant information. It could easily be merged into lists per decade. --OpenFuture (talk) 17:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve the articles. This problem is caused by the horrible proliferation of articles for every year in history (even well into BC!) when state leaders don't actually change too much before 1800ish. If the articles were cut down to centuries up to 1800 and then decades thereafter, this would be a useful navbox. The purpose of the navbox - to navigate chronologically between state leader lists - is clearly useful. There's no reason to start a navbox from scratch in the future after these articles are fixed. I'll start working on some of the worst offenders (BC). ~ RobTalk 15:47, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and merge the articles per Rob (at least for now). I agree that it's a little ridiculous to have a list of world leaders for every year before 1800 or so. Once the merging is complete, it's possible that this template may still need splitting, but I'd like to hold off on that for now. -- Tavix (talk) 15:54, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • After the merges, we may want to look at having collapsible sections of the navbox. For instance, if we decide to keep yearly articles from 1800 forward (which I think excessive, but as a hypothetical), we could list all yearly articles for the 19th century but collapse the section by default so it doesn't take up an absurd amount of space. ~ RobTalk 17:24, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You might wonder at this nomination, because it seems at first to be an entirely reasonable topic. However, if you dig a little deeper, you find that a) the main article covers little or none of the subjects in the template, b) the list of scandals and involved individuals is incredibly arbitrary and ad hoc, with no systematic inclusion criteria, and c) the creator and the other major editor have both been indeffed for socking, which strongly suggests that maintaining NPOV was not the highest priority of the folks who created this. Also see WP:TNT; this might be a legitimate topic, but if we need a navbox about it, we need to start over. Vanamonde93 (talk) 23:08, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox monastery

[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 Keep. Several of the keep rationales are unconvincing (rewrite as wrapper first, not all religious buildings are monasteries, etc), but valid concerns over whether the monastery parameters can be covered by Infobox religious building have been raised. In this case, rewriting as a wrapper first may help in a future TfD. If it were shown that these can easily be merged, then there would be no valid reason to keep, at least not based on what was argued here. ~ RobTalk 02:38, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox monastery with Template:Infobox religious building.

Similar but different, monasteries have chains of authority as well as organic and legal ties to other monasteries which churches don't. Daniel the Monk (talk) 21:04, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose If they are not spoilt, don't fix them. 175.156.123.71 (talk) 07:25, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • rewrite as a wrapper then reconsider. Frietjes (talk) 15:32, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Not the same thing, a religious building Religious building is not necessarily a Monastery Monastery. A religious building is usually open to the public as a place of worship, or associated to some religious purpose. For instance, a Quaker hall is a religious building and is not in any way a monastery, similarly a synagogue, mosque. A monastery (and a Priory) is not the same as it is has religious in residence, thus taking it away from the description of 'religious building' moreover, it is usually home to a community with several buildings at their disposal - a place of worship, domestic and workplaces.

Religious buildings are just that, and the plain English meaning is that any building owned by a religion, is therefore a religious building, irrespective of its use. Monasteries have specific meanings and merging with religious building would inevitable cause confusion; religious foundations for charitable uses (e.g. free meals), hospitals provided by religions, Universities provided by religions, schools provided by religions, all of which could be denoted as religious buildings, and currently cannot be confused as a monastery. See also chapel of ease Chapel of ease which is a religious building and not a monastery.

This is not suitable for encyclopedic categorization, OPPOSE — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johannis baptistae (talk • contribs) 11:10, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose These aren't synonyms, and the important information about monasteries isn't covered adequately in the religious building infobox, such as which order it belongs to, etc. RichG78 (talk) 09:22, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Capankajsmilyo: Indeed. I know. But the purpose of this and other templates is to ease navigation, distill information or make contribution from various wikipedia contributors easier, faster. You need to justify the benefit of deleting/merging so many templates. What is motivating you in proposing these template-merger-proposals? what is the harm in keeping templates that are not broken, which have been tailored to regional users by other wikipedia contributors, and which are in wide use?
