Propose merging Template:Infobox television Survivor with Template:Infobox reality competition season.
Template:Infobox television Survivor has a few issues. It is a season template, yet it was incorrectly created as a wrapper of {{Infobox television}} instead of {{Infobox television season}}. In addition, the fields the template needed, but were missing from the parent template, were added in a hack. The newly created Template:Infobox reality competition season has most of the fields except "Production location" (|location=), ~~"Filming dates" (|filming_started= and |filming_completed=)~~ (I've been informed these are actually included already in the season template) and "Picture format" (|picture_format=) which none of the television season articles use. So please comment if you think these fields should be merged or removed. Please note, if you think they should be merged, the current module setup will not enable it to be placed in the correct section and it would be better merged into {{Infobox television season}}.

Strong Support With the creation of the custom module Template:Infobox reality competition season there really isn't a need for Template:Infobox television Survivor anymore. Here are some ideas for the missing parameters.
- The |filming_started= and |filming_completed= parameters from Template:Infobox television Survivor can be replaced with the existing |film_start= and |film_end= parameters from Template:Infobox television season. (Template:Infobox reality competition season is a module of Template:Infobox television season and they must be used together.) For example WP:BIGBRO has made use of |film_start= and |film_end= parameters for seasons of Big Brother that are partially or wholly pre-recorded. An example of this can be seen at Celebrity Big Brother 1 (U.S.) where the contestants were being filmed seven days before the program began broadcasting on CBS. Survivor articles can easily use these parameters as well.
- The module includes a |label1= and |data1= parameters for a custom field. This could potentially be used for Survivor articles to put "Production location" information. The other alternative could be adding a |location= to either Template:Infobox reality competition season or Template:Infobox television season but latter would need a consensus from WP:TV if I'm not mistaken.
- I don't believe that picture format would be needed as that is typically covered by the parent article and the main infobox there. Alucard 16_{❯❯❯ chat?} 23:52, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
replace and delete, assuming that |location= is added to {{Infobox reality competition season}}. I believe the location is important for this type of show, since it would be a much different show if it were filmed in a densely populated area. Frietjes (talk) 01:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Frietjes The template includes a custom label that Big Brother season articles use for different things. The Survivor season articles can use this for "Production location(s)" see this quick Survivor example I mocked up on how the infobox would look on Survivor articles so |location= wouldn't need to be added. The only change that I can see that would need to be made is a switch so "No. of contestants" would say "No. of castaways" on Survivor articles similar to how Big Brother articles it says "No. of Housemates" or "No. of Houseguests" depending on the version.

Strong Support After doing a similar thing with Big Brother this will help provide consistency throughout the articles. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:17, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Db-author-notice-NPF (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't see any reason for this to be ever used.

After somebody has expressed an desire for any of his creations to be nuked; we don't have any reason to let him know about our internal bureaucratic procedures. The tagging is hardly of any value to him.

The sysop who chooses to delete the stuff might chose to note that he has fulfilled his request (along with the boilerplate message about avenues for restoration) and that will be helpful but that's outside the purview of this discussion.

If there's a consensus to delete; please don't delete this outright and ping me. This needs to be edited out of the PageTriageCSS; where it is present but hardly any used, as of now. ∯WBG^converse 19:59, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if someone has requested for one of their own creations to be nuked, then yes, there's no need to let them know that it has been explicitly tagged for nuking. But there might be some ambiguity as to what constitutes such a request. Blanking a page, for example, is often taken to be such a deletion request, but that can't always be completely certain, and so it appears sensible to have an easy way to double-check by posting on the user's talk page. Also, there appear to be over 600 uses of this template on user talk pages [1]. – Uanfala (talk) 21:11, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. The same search sorted by last-edit-descending seems to indicate that it's used roughly around once a day. @Galobtter:-Can you take a peek through your goggles and let me know about when they were used? Any 10 at random, over the last month, ought to give fair clue:-) ∯WBG^converse 11:08, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Women's Equality Party (UK) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Members of a political party are not suitable for navbox inclusion, as this places WP:UNDUE importance on their political membership. Once the "notable members" section is removed, this leaves just the founders and leader, which is just three links. WP:NENAN. Note that any other political party navbox in Category:United Kingdom political party templates does not list its membership, only its politicians. --wooden superman 14:54, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. After members are removed, which I agree is UNDUE, the template contains too few links at this stage to warrant its existence. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:52, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
