This template started out listing diseases only. It now seems to becoming a mix of diseases, and the viruses involved. (especially now that GrahamColm added viral gastroenteritis as a subhead.) Should we have a consensus whether this should be viral diseases (as the template name suggests), viruses, or both? Do we care? Regards— G716 < T· C> 18:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
This is supposed to be a diseases template (per name, title, category, etc.), but lately the emphasis seems to have shifted away from diseases to virology.
I think we should move it back to dealing with diseases (i.e. disease first), group items by disease characteristics, and remove taxonomic information on the causative organism - template is becoming too large/complex.
If want to keep the focus on viruses, then the name, title, category, color scheme, etc. should be changed to make it a virology template (e.g. Viruses that affect humans.)
The same thing is also occurring with template:Zoonotic viral diseases, and it should probably be treated similarly. Zodon ( talk) 00:59, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
propose name change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.151.229.24 ( talk) 01:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
