The result of the discussion was no consensus. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:15, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Historical Arab tribes with Template:Arab tribes.
A number of entries in Template:Historical Arab tribes seems to be described as "is" rather than "was". Perhaps a merge would be just as good? Perhaps even merging to embedded templates of Template:Arab tribes into one single template divided by contemporary countries as sections? Historical tribes in the sense of non-existant could be indicated by some small symbol, with legend describing the symbol in the below bar of the template?

Better keep these same-scope contents consolidated in one template? PPEMES (talk) 09:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your constructive feedback! Would it be worth considered perhaps to a create a Template:Religious year in Islam, comparable to Template:Liturgical year of the Catholic Church?Template:Religious year in Islam (or equivalent name) could then be merged with contents also from Template:IslamicMonths and Template:Muslimmonths? I'm adding discussion about that here above for convenience. PPEMES (talk) 10:56, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "songs written" section should not be included since Brandy Clark did not perform these songs. It would be like including all the songs that Kris Kristofferson wrote on his template, or including every film an actor has acted in on their template. Take that away and you only have three albums which fail WP:NENAN. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 05:22, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Koavf: Because those songs are primarily associated with the singer, not the songwriter. Also see below where other songwriters such as Diane Warren do not have navboxes for their writing credits. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 22:39, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On behalf of Kochas. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 04:36, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Darwinek, alright, so how about we separate the Politics section away (with the "Related" links added), still consolidate the Polish, and German mayors in one template (with no dead links)? Since it's about the very same town (I did just that with Mayors of Warsaw). I've long noticed consolidation of templates improves UX (navigation), and performance of the articles (more internal links), hence users' education. [And about gargantuan: check out similar approach here ;-)] – Kochas (talk) 02:15, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merging the Gdańsk and Danzig mayors into one template doesn't sound like a bad idea.--Darwinek (talk) 00:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant to the new Template:Warsaw. Kochas (talk) 01:14, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Andrei, alright, so what do you say we separate the districts from the main template, in one consolidated two-level template, with just the districts (just like I did with Mayors)? — we really don't need so, so many of these, especially when most of them have hardly any articles existing. – Kochas (talk) 02:00, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that having a Polish interwiki could help to locate missing articles, but that solution could work too. Something like Template:Districts and cadastral areas of Prague --Andrei (talk) 11:58, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Andrei, I've separated the districts. My initial proposal: Template:Districts of Warsaw. Also, please see my argument here. Consolidating these dozens of templates is really way more efficient, in terms of overall usefulness for users. – Kochas (talk) 16:37, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NAVBOX without a single link with only one link to a WP article. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:14, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. And it's important as a starting point for creating those case articles that are yet to be filled in. Wikidea 17:17, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I made a mistake it is one link but NAVBOX are for naviagation. They serve no purpose without links and the long held consensus (here[1], here[2], here[3], for just three examples around here is that Boxes that few links are deleted....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:32, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tom (LT): Consequently; any other family articles you insist on be deleted and transformed into templates instead? PPEMES (talk) 10:22, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
None at the moment. But sometimes it is easier to have a template on multiple articles that can be updated once, rather than making the same change multiple times on different articles. --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:08, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. If and when there are a significant number of links and/or Morocco returns to Eurovision again (which would bring about more links etc) there is no prejudice against restoration/recreation. Primefac (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template only contains four article links and three of these pages have been merged into one page due to overlapping information. Overall, the template is rather cumbersome to use with little chance of it being expanded in the future. Grk1011 (talk) 22:54, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Distinguish-otheruses[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 delete after replacement as discussed. Primefac (talk) 18:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The first two templates were created in 2015, the third one – in 2019. They have around 220 transclusions between them.

Template:Distinguish-otheruses has output that looks like this:

Template:Distinguish-otheruses2 outputs:

Template:Distinguish-otheruses3 outputs:

These templates consolidate two different types of hatnotes, and even though this comes out of a legitimate concern for concision, it leads to a loss of clarity. As this discussion of 2016 clarified, it's usually preferable to have each different type of hatnote on a separate line. Of course, these templates can be modified to insert a new line, but then they immediately become redundant to a combination of {{other uses}} and {{distinguish}}.

I'm proposing the following substitutions:

Noting that this reverses the order of the two hatnotes compared to how they're displayed in the nominated templates – it's generally clearer when hatnotes proceed from the more to the less similar to the article's title, so that "For other uses of X" comes before "Not to be confused with Y".

As for the rare circumstances where it might be desirable to display two hatnotes on the same line, then I don't think a good solution is to have a separate new template for each pair of existing hatnote templates. The same effect of eliminating the newline can be achieved either by using the two standard templates inside a {{hatnote group}}, or by using one of the hatnote temples with its custom text parameter set to the text of the other template.

I've examined around a dozen transclusions of these templates in an attempt to track down editors who have used them; most were due to the template's creator, but two were by Omnipaedista and Nihiltres.Uanfala (talk) 16:36, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
