Discussion of possible merger of the "BLP IMDB refimprove" and "BLP IMDB-only refimprove" templates with the main BLP refimprove template should probably happen at Template talk:BLP sources. This idea was discussed at wt:URBLP and in the ddeltion nomination that just closed. Implementing a merger would be a matter of programming; a merger should be invisible to the user. -- doncram ( talk) 14:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Could this template support a parameter living=no
? Currently neither this nor
Template:Film IMDb refimprove offers a comfortable wording for biographies of deceased persons.

|living=no
is used; then it will link to
WP:BDP, which explains that BLP may still apply to non-living persons under certain conditions. If that is agreeable then I'll engage it.

|suffix=
, it was indeed intentional. A couple of years ago I had a conversation with another template editor,
JJMC89, in which we concluded that we didn't think anyone actually uses |suffix=
. We verified this at {{BLP sources}} a couple of years ago, when we added a tracking category and found the exact number of uses to be zero.|prefix=
is also unused, though I cannot speak for certain, because I can't think of any reason why you would use it. We can add a tracking category for both parameters before deprecating, if you prefer, but there shouldn't be opposition to doing so if they're unused. —

An RfC is underway that could affect this template and may therefor be of interest to watchers of this page. The discussion is located at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle#RfC regarding Twinkle maintenance tags that recommend the inclusion of additional sources.
