We absolutely do not need a navigation box for this when there are only two skaters listed. *eyeroll* Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:30, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cbeam, Hbeam, Lbeam, Tbeam character-substitution templates

These templates appear to exist only to stylize text about C-beams, H-beams, L-beams, and T-beams (all structural beams, like steel I-beams) similar to how {{Ibeam}} had (previously, before my edits) stylized capital 'I' with <span style="font:courier,serif;" font-weight: 900; font-size:140%>I</span>, causing line-height issues, and obvious over-emphasis for what should be a descriptive name. E.g., see 'Glossary of shapes with metaphorical names' prior to my edits, c.f. current Glossary of shapes with metaphorical names).

The {{Ibeam}} template is necessary because the term 'I-beam' is self-descriptive only when 'I' has serifs. But such heavy-handed formatting of C-/H-/L-/T-beam to match the old version of {{Ibeam}} is completely unnecessary.

I have eliminated all uses of {{Cbeam}}, {{Hbeam}}, {{Lbeam}}, {{Tbeam}} from the few (and very inconsistent) places it had been used. Now that {{Ibeam}} uses "Ɪ" (Unicode U+A7AE 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SMALL CAPITAL I'), the span/font formatting stuff is completely unnecessary, and formatting the C/H/L/T beams is also unnecessary.  — sbb (talk) 17:16, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly agree that these symbols should be sized so as not to cause line-height or over-emphasis issues. The I character in particular should ideally have a serif -- I don't know if that's the case on all common browsers for all fonts for Unicode U+A7AE. But in any case, I don't feel strongly about this. Most (all?) print publications use normal letters for I-beams etc. and just because we are unconstrained by print technology doesn't mean that we have to go crazy.... --Macrakis (talk) 01:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know that this is (supposed to be) humorous, but the user pages of users who are not blocked should not have templates saying that they are blocked. This is disruptive to the work of patrollers, etc, who are checking such user pages. It contributes nothing to the making or maintenance of an encyclopedia.

  • Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:09, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per nomination.Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: humorous material has a long history on Wikipedia and is almost always kept. Users are and should be allowed to have jokes on their user pages. Per Nyttend in the previous TFD: the {{humorous}} is clearly appropriate for the content, and we don't delete such pages unless they're either outright stupid (i.e. not funny at all) or offensive in some way. It's neither stupid nor offensive. Dan • ✉ 02:07, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The icon is completely different from those used by actual block templates, there's no huge "BLOCKED" text that stands out from surrounding wording (it's not like everything else is in fine print), and if you read the bits about "this user has been blocked", you'll immediately see the "TimeChecker" and other elements that clearly show it not to be a real block. If you're acting so quickly that you consistently overlook such matters, you're acting too fast, and we shouldn't get rid of this kind of content merely because you're being reckless. Nyttend (talk) 07:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Nyttend. Only resembles a real block notice at a passing glance. -insert valid name here- (talk) 16:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Nyttend's observations seven years ago, now, and in the TfD that will happen in 2031.  — Scott • talk 21:30, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Transclusionless duplicate of {{su}}. Not a plausible search term, so we shouldn't create a redirect. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
