October 8

[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 merge to Template:Ontario Provincial Highways. Templates have been converted to wrappers for Template:Ontario Provincial Highways. There is no consensus for deletion of these templates and some are highly used. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:39, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should be replaced by Template:Ontario Provincial Highways. Makes more sense to have all Ontario provincial highways in one navbox. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 23:47, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Usage of Wikidata is not allowed in article text per Wikipedia:Wikidata#Appropriate usage in articles. This template is foundationally based on such a feature. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 18:54, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. It is indeed much better if statistical data like this is only maintained in one location, and that is Wikidata, to facilitate easier updating. But I would prefer it if the template is able to reject the Wikidata value if there are no references (in Wikidata), and to pull in the reference from Wikidata as an inline citation into the template. As noted, Wikipedia:Wikidata is not policy and so usage of Wikidata should be discussed on a case-by-case basis. —seav (talk) 03:01, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: User:Exec8 has been actively removing this template from articles, but no reason is given in the edit summary why he is doing this (maybe to influence the outcome of this discussion???). -- P 1 9 9   12:48, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kansas TV station templates

[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. I suggest an RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television to help determine consensus on this. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:06, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:ABC Kansas, Template:CBS Kansas, Template:Fox Kansas, Template:NBC Kansas, Template:CW Kansas, Template:MNTV Kansas, Template:PBS Kansas and Template:Other Kansas Stations with Template:TV Stations Kansas.
To be inline with TV templates from other small states. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 01:22, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was about to support as it seemed pretty straight forward, but I gave it another look. Why should those templates be together? Because they are all TV stations from Kansas? Merging them doesn't seem like it fits the criteria placed in WP:NAVBOX (specifically, #1, #2, #3 and #5). --Gonnym (talk) 19:59, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those templates should probably be together because it may be easier to navigate than with separate templates for each network affiliation and in the event a particular station changes its network affiliation it would either not require any edits or require less edits to those particular articles as the same template would apply to all TV stations from Kansas and other states 64222368Z260O (talk) 22:39, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Cabinet of Tanzania. Revisions of the two templates overlap, so a history merge will be problematic. Probably simpler just to redirect it. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:03, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of these templates are either unused or used only in one talkpage and one sandbox - both of which are already partially broken. Their existence just clutters the category they are in and adds confusion for people trying to work out the template system for these lines. Gareth (talk) 06:18, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot ways of doing the things this does without a special lua module (Module:String2 has a stripZeroes function, one could write a simple pattern using Module:string (^0*), Module:StringFunc has a function that validates a number). There could be some value in a "is this a number" module, but that belongs in Module:Math, not standalone. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Module:Gamelist counter with Module:Table row counter.
These two modules are mostly duplicates of eachother, plus Module:Gamelist counter is unused outside of the unused template that it implements. I wouldn't oppose simply deleting Module:Gamelist counter and Template:Gamelist counter, but a module that counts rows in a table matching a specific pattern could easily be useful. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:40, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the creator of this template, it was made for game list articles with the ability to count game and game exclusives, but as the consensus ended with exclusivity status to drop from tables in all game list articles, this template became useless. I'm fine with it deleted. Though I agree that it's got nice concept being able to count something from the table. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 10:11, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Given that {{Reply to}} has been implemented in Lua since 2016, I don't see a need for this underused fork of it. I wouldn't oppose merging with Template:Reply to, but don't think that doing so is necessary {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:35, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
