[edit]

Module:Plain text

[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 no consensus. Primefac (talk) 01:04, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No reason for a separate lua module for this functionality, just use Module:MultiReplace {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 17:21, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Pppery yes you could probably do it, but since this is presumably going to be used in various templates as they gain auto-descriptions, not just at Template:Infobox settlement, it is useful to have one module for it. Also, inline replacement with patterns is horrible - quite possible it wouldn't actually work, because mediawiki parser will do its own interpretation on the patterns. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:30, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Then create a {{plain text}}. Counterexample for "quite possible it wouldn't actually work, because mediawiki parser will do its own interpretation on the patterns": Template:Delink question hyphen-minus/sandbox. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 17:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the point of creating a wrapping template. Yes, some patterns work, others may not. I have no desire to fight against the mediawiki parser to do it; or to write very unreadable code - even doing comments is harder in a template - when it costs basically nothing to have a separate module, which is also much much more maintainable. This module will likely have in the order of a million transclusions (just infobox settlement is 480000), and it'd be faster to do it this way too than to use multireplace too. For Template:Delink question hyphen-minus it may be ok as it has onetwo replace, for this with 9 replaces I don't see how nice code comes out. It'd either be an unreadable one liner or have a lot of <!-- for newlines everywhere. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:49, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, since it is anyhow useful, either as a module or a template, seems better to have it as a module where the code is nicer. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) {{MultiReplace|{{{1|}}}|%{{!(}}%{{!)}}File:.-%{{)!}}%{{)!}}||%{{!(}}%{{!(}}.-{{!}}||%{{!(}}||%{{)!}}|| ''' ''' ||'''?|}} {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Getting a lua error of unmatched braces probably because the produced [[ aren't escaped. And what did I tell you of unreadable oneliners/and fighting the mediawiki parser that will take way too long to understand and change if anyone wants to change it later? Again, there is either going to be a module or a template, so let's make it a readable module. (edit conflict) Even with your edited version, both brackets have to be escaped Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:25, 16 April 2018 (UTC) Or atleast I'm getting an unpaired argument error seems issue was extra pipe Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:27, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:German administrative territories

[edit]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:States of Nazi Germany. No opposition. I will note that while there was no discussion in the other two nominations on this page regarding the appropriateness of the name or targets, there is no prejudice against a rename of Template:States of Nazi Germany if it's determined to not be appropriate. Primefac (talk) 14:31, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:German administrative territories with Template:States of Nazi Germany.

Template:Yahwistic titles of Jesus in Greek

[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. No strong opposition. Primefac (talk) 01:17, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This template violates WP:NPOV. This list of titles is not widely accepted, and the interpretation of these titles varies substantially grouping them together in this fashion favors a particular interpretation of these terms. Daask (talk) 00:31, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There was a sketchy debate about this in 2008, see here. I agree that the listing of titles is not widely accepted, if at all. Are there any uses of the category in reliable sources? If not, then there are arguments in favour of deletion. As for WP:NPOV, I question whether this listing can be classed as NPOV. As pointed out in 2008, the Greek (Septuagintal) terms are applied to YHWH and the template rests on a fact. However, I would insist that it is not a worthwhile one from the perspective of academic theology. — Jpacobb (talk) 03:16, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jpacobb: I have made no attempt to ascertain whether any RS makes this grouping. If not, this would be WP:OR. However, even if some source did make such a grouping, I still think this template is a problem, as it would give undue weight to this perspective. The claim that the terms Soter or Poimen in the New Testament are primarily to be understood as "Yahwistic titles" is a marginal view. In order to be presented like this in a navbox, I think NPOV would require such a grouping to be a clearly dominant interpretation. Daask (talk) 13:59, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. "God" and "Lord" aren't specifically related to Jesus (they appear elsewhere extensively), and the Alpha and Omega mentions situations unrelated to Jesus, so they ought to be trimmed from the template. That would leave this template with an extremely small list of remaining links (especially given the amount of space it occupies), so we'd be better off deleting it. Nyttend (talk) 04:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't have any vehement objection to the existence of this template, but the fact that I've never understood what "Yahwistic" is supposed to mean in this context, despite knowing a fair amount about Hebrew, Greek, and the Bible, does not cause me to feel enthusiastic about the template... AnonMoos (talk) 05:15, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I assume it means that these are titles of divinity also appearing in the Old Testament. But I agree, it doesn't really make sense; it's as if we're associated Jesus with one part of JEPD. Nyttend (talk) 11:36, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
