Propose merging Template:Infobox US political party with Template:Infobox political party.
Nothing special with the US version of this template A1Cafel (talk) 07:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I originally created a different template because it was different from the current one, but I found a way to code the template so that it can be merged with the current one and change its appearance if one adds a certain piece of code in the source editor.

All that would have to happen for it to be merged is the piece of code which I added being copied over—the pages which currently have the template wouldn’t be affected, as the template would only change it’s appearance if one adds a section for “background”.

If any of this is confusing or if you need me to point out which piece of code it is, please let me know.

Thanks! RiverMan18 (talk) 20:33, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I wasn't even aware US political parties used a different template as they're functionally and visually identical. – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 23:29, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template is unused as of right now—I created it before I knew that I could code the template in such a way that it could be merged with the current template. (I’m sorry—I should have done more research before creating the template). RiverMan18 (talk) 00:44, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does your version add to the template? – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 02:06, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It adds a parameter which, if it has a value, alters the header of the template. An example can be seen here. RiverMan18 (talk) 02:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then I reiterate my support for the merger. – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 08:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would this impact existing infoboxes? Would this introduce the undocumented parameter to regular infoboxes? If not, oppose. ManOfDirt (talk) 00:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would only impact the political party infobox and would only result in the parameter being added to that infobox. Adding a value to the parameter would change the way the page name is displayed on the infobox (an example can be seen here). RiverMan18 (talk) 00:40, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would also support merging Template:Infobox Indian political party with Template:Infobox political party, and any other country specific political party infoboxes to our general political party infobox, for conformity. Completely Random Guy (talk) 00:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. USA one should be deleted, new parameters should be added to the Political Party Infobox if non-intrusive. More documentation and information on this is needed. Just don't want it intrusively effecting Australian Political Party Infoboxes DirectorDirectorDirector (talk) 11:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The two parties make the comparison easy and the removal would cause major effects. Rochambeau1783 (talk) 14:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you have misunderstood. The template being nominated for merging is not used on any article, so there would be no effects from merging it. Number 5 7 18:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  No effects? The merger would dramatically affect the style of the political party infobox with the addition of that new parameter. Wowzers122 (talk) 23:46, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Unused and unnecessary. Number 5 7 18:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The change the new US political party template does to the original template is ugly. I would only support if the infobox political party is kept the same. As of now, the US political party infobox should just be deleted. Wowzers122 (talk) 15:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The merge wouldn't change anything about existing infoboxes, it's simply an extra parameter to ass the option to make the change visible. – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 22:56, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not support the addition of the extra parameter. Adding a large colored area over text is ugly and will break the uniformity of the infoboxes, as some will have it and others will not if it's an optional stylistic choice. The infobox already displays party colors perfectly. Wowzers122 (talk) 23:35, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support proposal per nom. Consolidating metadata and establishing good taxonomy helps in a big manner in general as well. Devopam (talk) 04:17, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Arbitration clerks chart

Template:Arbitration clerks chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Long out of date, single-transclusion template which lists the terms of various clerks. I don't see how that is useful even if updated; the history of who was a clerk is viewable at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks § Personnel.

Template:2025 World Weightlifting Championships

Template:2025 World Weightlifting Championships (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All links outside the title article are redirects. The event does not take place until October 2025. Can be recreated when there are articles. Created way too early. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:44, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template has future use and currently the articles are blanked and will be brought back. It's way too early but a sport event can exist an year before. Sid Prayag (talk) 12:18, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't keep templates for future use. It either will be used now or not. We don't create templates preemptively. It either has article to navigate to or it doesn't. This doesn't. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Race and the United States presidency

Template:Race and the United States presidency (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No mainspace article that relates to the subject of the navbox. Pretty much could be seen as a random collection of racial issues concerning American presidencies. Has overlap with articles on Template:United States policy for Native American policy but even those articles are not classified as a racial policy under a category of relation or in a subcat.

And articles such as A More Perfect Union (speech) has nothing to do with Obama's presidency. Because it took place before he was president while he was running for president in 2008. I think this template falls into the OR category. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Chembox 3DMet/format

Template:Chembox 3DMet/format (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused sub-template (the usage count shown on the /doc is unrelated as it is a shared documentation page). Gonnym (talk) 10:28, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:21, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or delete template:Chembox 3DMet too (its a pair - Template:Chembox 3DMet used to call Template:Chembox 3DMet/format). The former was changed a few days ago because the site is down. The usage count is not unrelated - the shared doc contains {{High-use}} but without any name - when the shared doc is transcluded the template can figure out which page calls it and find the usage stats at [[1]]) which hasn't been updated yet. Christian75 (talk) 19:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You see the link titled "transclusions" in my nomination? Click it. How many pages are listed there? Those numbers do not need a bot to update. Looking at the history of the template, /format was never even part of that template's code. Whatever should happen with the base template is unrelated to this one. I don't know anything about why someone would blank a template which is transcluded on so many pages, that seems very poor judgment. Gonnym (talk) 08:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
