Template:Details3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:For-on-see (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I've just made an improvement to {{details}} so that it supports multiple pages as part of its list, that is:

{{details|PAGE1|TOPIC}} → {{details|topic=TOPIC|PAGE1}} → and it's now possible to do {{details|topic=TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →

and similar.

Previous cases have used {{details3}} to implement lists with multiple pages:

{{details3|[[PAGE1]] and [[PAGE2]]}} →

Using {{details}} with a list of multiple pages is more elegant, and applies a set of standard improvements through its Lua implementation. We should migrate uses of {{details3}} to use {{details}} instead, delete {{details3}}, and therefore simplify the hatnote system. {{For-on-see}} is along for the ride because it is a single-use meta-template for {{details3}}; it had 4 standalone uses which I've already replaced with {{details}}.

TfD regulars may recognize this hatnote system cleanup as a bit of a project of mine; previous similar TfDs have included About3 & About4 and Redirect6. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 20:13, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Each navbox has a section that states the previous class and a successive class, which is what {{s-start}}, {{s-bef}}, {{s-ttl}}, {{s-aft}}, ... are used for. The navboxes are sequential, and lists a number of ships that fall into each class, which are minimal. Suggesting merging these navboxes into one. If the user needs help setting up the preceeding/successive cruiser classes, I'd volunteer to help out. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 05:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate, I suggest replacing the navboxes with a cumulative one, something like Special:Permalink/725204677. The succession boxes at the bottom is not meant to be part of the template. It's a just a demo. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 06:36, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up for your proposal - you would have to do that for every ship class article. What Parsecboy has done is pretty much standard among ship class articles. If you wish to establish a norm, you may have to go to WP:SHIPS and WP:MILHIST to get more input. Llammakey (talk) 09:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - per Llammakey, this is standard practice across thousands of articles. Take a glance through Category:Military_ship_templates. Parsecboy (talk) 09:32, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Parsecboy and Llammakey: All right, thanks for the heads up. I didn't expect the scope of this change for consistency was much bigger. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 15:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PD-Ethiopia-Photo (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused/no transclusions, very narrow in scope (photos only?), and potentially even misleading - overly simplifies the relevant Ethiopian laws (see Commons version) FASTILY 01:49, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
