Template:Advert

[edit]

Propose merging Template:Advert with Template:Promotional tone.
{{Advert}} is rarely used on articles that actually read like adverts; what is most often (indeed, almost exclusively) meant is what is described by {{Promotional tone}} (aka {{Promo}}), which has a better name and better wording ("This article contains text that is written in a promotional tone." vs. "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement.". The use of {{Advert}} is thus often a cause of confusion among novice editors whose work is tagged with it. We certainly don't need two such templates. i also note that the category used by {{Advert}} is Category:Articles with a promotional tone; that {{Advert inline}} redirects to {{Promotion inline}}; and that {{Promotion}} redirects to {{Advert}}. I propose to redirect {{Advert}} to {{Promotional tone}}, and to have tools such as Twinkle updated accordingly.

Probably what needs to happen is that {{advert}} needs to be page moved to the preferable title, not redirected, as the longer-standing template serving this function. Izno (talk) 05:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That won't address the sub-optimal wording (which is apparently the reason why {{Promo}} was forked in the first place). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:29, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2024 elections in the European Union

[edit]

These serve no useful purpose from what I can see, and the 2024 European Parliament elections are already all linked via {{European Parliament elections}}. I am not aware of any other templates linking all elections by year for a continent (probably as not many other people see a benefit in doing so). Number 57 20:12, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Contains Tirhuta text

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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 merge to Template:Contains special characters. BOLDly merging these as the nominator is not opposed. If anyone objects, feel free to drop me a message and I will re-open this discussion, noting that I have removed current usage in these seven edits.

Propose merging Template:Contains Tirhuta text with Template:Contains special characters.
Previously we had merged all of these related templates into {{Contains special characters}} (TfD here). These were uncategorized until recently so was missed from that list. Gonnym (talk) 13:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I feel like these could be BOLDly merged without the need for a TFD, given the precedent (and existence) of the primary template. Primefac (talk) 13:27, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gonnym, if you're not opposed, I'll just do that. Will wait for your reply. (please ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 13:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac I don't disagree with you about these being boldly merged, however I feel like that about most of my nominations, so I better err on sending them here :) Also I'm not opposed. Gonnym (talk) 13:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template or module's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Template:PostScript name

[edit]

This template is a documentation template, but it's used on a /doc page which isn't where documentation should go. Either this is useful and should be converted to the template /doc page, or deleted. Gonnym (talk) 10:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
