Currently, this page displays all of the logos for each of the European communist parties. However, according to WP:FU policy, "[Fair use images] should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages". I will give some time for the creators/maintainers of this template to cleanup the template themselves by removing all of images. If this is not done in a timely manner, I will make the change myself. Thanks. — Scm83xhook 'em20:59, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But the template is solely used on article pages, directly relating to the subject. Would that be in some sort of accordance with WP policy? --Soman07:10, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I support removing these fair use logos from the template since the image description pages say that they are copyrighted, but the template does not. Please go to more relevant articles for fair use images.--Jusjih16:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Currently the template contains very minor and several historical communist parties, e.g. among the German and Italian ones (where I do know a little bit). So the list is not straightforward at all:
- should trotskyist parties be included?
- should historical parties be included? Probably not
- how prominent/large should a party be to be included?
- in particular, there are many small communist organizations (some of them in a sense former parties) that either do not see themselves as parties any more, or are not viewed by others as true parties, due to lacking size and political activity, e.g. participating in elections--176.94.9.147 (talk) 13:08, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Trotskyists are to be excluded. They and Communists mutually have strong disregard for each other. The ones to be included are the parties that were recognized by the Third International aka COMINTERN, and its direct successors and splinters therefrom.Dogru144 (talk) 10:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
