Template:Free and paid online education (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The two primary defining categories of this template - paid and free - are unworkably simplistic and misleading with many of the listed organizations employing many different models. It might be possible to construct a new template with appropriate categories but this one is fatally defective. ElKevbo (talk) 22:40, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll defer to ElKevbo's judgement as I'm not overly familiar with online education. I'm not sure I see anything fatally flawed here, though; couldn't we just remove the grouping so that they're all alphabetical and move the navbox to {{Online education}}? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 07:58, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We could do that but I'm just not sure how a template of any kind would be helpful for readers. This is a very complex market with every possible permutation of services and fees and I don't know how a template can capture any of that. Frankly, I'm also worried about this is a spam magnet given the always shifting players in this market and how eager VCs (and universities) have always been to fund new companies; I'm pleased and surprised that this hasn't yet been a significant, lasting problem but I wonder if that's only because the template isn't used in many places so it has rather low visibility.

Delete (without replacing) The paid/free — and even nonprofit/for-profit — categories are sometimes misleading because several institutions leverage different subtleties and nuances. Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 13:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without replacing per Modulato. I just don't see any permutation of this navbox serving a useful navigational value, there are way too many ways and nuances and variations for a navbox to be useful. I think this is best served by a category. --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:12, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The results were once split into several articles but they have now been combined, making the template unnecessary. Nigej (talk) 08:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not used now. HawkAussie (talk) 05:32, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The template IS used. However the template seems to be surplus to requirement since {{Nigeria national football team}} and {{Nigeria national football team matches}} seem to cover pretty much everything, the former the general stuff, the latter the "famous" matches.

Merge with {{Nigeria national football team results}} and keep the navbox format in {{Nigeria national football team - results}} rather than the sidebar format. Giant Snowman 14:44, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All of the info has already been merged into the main navbox and matches navbox. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 07:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
