Template:Cat with
Template:Category link.
{{
Cat}} has the option for a "category:" prefix (i.e. {{
cat|stubs}}
and {{
cat|Category:stubs}}
have the same output: ‹The
template
Cat is being
considered for merging.›
Category:Stubs), but otherwise this template just has fewer features than {{
Category link}}. {{
Category link}} does not accept the category prefix ({{
Category link|Category:Stubs}}
becomes ‹The
template
Category link is being
considered for merging.›
Category:Category:Stubs), but does allow for various options. They should be combined.

and has no likelihood of being usedisn't exactly ambiguous, and is bolded for good reason. To the extent it's not being followed, it ought to be — even when there's only a small chance they'll be used in the future, the maintenance cost of retaining templates is minimal (particularly when their documentation is clear, as here). Deletion for the sake of deletion does not benefit the encyclopedia. Sdkb talk 14:23, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Navbox only contains three blue links (not including the header, which links to the general Wesleyan Cardinals football page), not enough to warrant the existence of this template for navigation purposes.

These doc pages are part of the {{
they}}-series of templates (full list
here) that specify the proper pronoun for a given user based on their
WP:Preferences; example: {{they|Bishonen}}
→ she. Each of these individual template /doc pages are almost identical, except for the usage line showing the template name, and a line of explanation of the results of the template, which looks like this (examples from {{
Them/doc}}, and {{
They are/doc}} ):
{{them}}
: This template will expand to one of "him", "her" or "them" depending on what the specified user has set in their preferences.{{they are}}
: This template will expand to one of "he is", "she is" or "they are" depending on what the specified user has set in their preferences.All the others have similar lines. Documentation for all of these templates is now handled by a single, template doc-generating template, namely, {{ They/doc}}. The individual doc pages are no longer needed, and should be removed.
Note: there are one or two in the full list, such as {{ they verb}}, that have special needs and therefore are not included here for deletion.
The template doc Talk pages are all redirects, and probably they should be retargeted to Template talk:They. Mathglot ( talk) 23:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

/styles.css
subpage to a mainspace article, and then invoking that stylesheet from a different mainspace article (or having two identical .css pages on two different mainspace pages) seems quite obtuse and unorthodox to me, especially if a template for doing this already exists and works fine.<templatestyles src="Blink/styles.css" /><span class="blink-css">{{{1}}}</span>
and blink, .blink-css { animation: blink 1s step-end infinite; } *::@keyframes blink { *:: 67% { opacity: 0 } *::}

All three were single-use templates. I have substituted them on their respective cabinet articles.

can be usedin multiple articles. Also registering my pushback against the idea that every newly created template has to be used in several articles immediately or face deletion within a month or so. Imagine if we applied that standard to our orphaned articles, or any other type of page on the website. Even unedited drafts get a six month grace period. Why do templates need to be deleted or used right right away?But, this template: doesn't wrap a citation template, it just outputs one; it sets
|display-authors=1
, which is pretty idiosyncratic and probably not desirable to many editors or possibly readers; uses the CS2 template {{
Citation}}, which has an identical caveat; uses both |date=
and |year=
, which adds pages transcluding it to
Category:CS1 maint: date and year; has no configurability, just outputting the same code without accepting any parameters in the template call.So, I feel this template is probably not fit to purpose. It should either be improved to a proper wrapper – without mandating a |display-authors=
parameter – as well as ditching one of either |date=
or |year=
; or it should be userfied pending improvement or deleted outright, the probable outcome.

Template:Infobox climber with
Template:Infobox mountaineer.
I think that Template:Infobox mountaineer could be handled by Template:Infobox climber. A lot of mountaineers do climbing and visa-versa. Infobox climber is the most important infobox (and the most detailed) and has the richest level of detail on their climbing/mountaineering career (I think infobox climber captures all of mountaineer career data. The mountaineer infobox items of "famous partnerships", "final ascent" and "retirement age" are subjective items). The main differences are around the non-climbing items that cand be just merged?

This family of templates contains just wikilinks, maybe with an icon (mostly used for decoration in violation of MOS:ICON). Over the last few years we've been moving away from the "one template for every version of X" system (be it for political parties, national sports, etc) in order to allow for easier updating and centralised coding. This is also a good example of "text stored in a template". Primefac ( talk) 23:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:Edit semi-protected with
Template:Request edit.
As I have (surprisingly) recently discovered, this entire family of templates auto-detects the protection level of the template for which the edit request is being made. This means that an {{
FPER}} placed on a template-protected template will result in exactly the same thing as a {{
TPER}}. Because of this, it seems to me that there is little reason to keep these all as separate templates, instead using the more obvious and reasonably-named {{
request edit}} as the base template for this family (instead of the latter template being used as a dab for all five).

COI=yes

could be used to flag the type of edit request that is being made, which would allow all six templates to be merged into

|force=

would no longer work.{{#invoke:protected edit request|extended}}
(where the default there is extended
). If the page to be edited is unprotected or if |force=yes
is used, then that default level is used. If these were all redirected to one template, then there would be a loss of functionality unless someone knows how to tell a module not merely which
wrapper is invoking a module (since there would only be one merged wrapper), but rather which redirect is being used to transclude the wrapper that invokes the module (and I don't think that is possible). If no default is provided when invoking the module, then it presently breaks with the error message Lua error in Module:Protected_edit_request/active at line 299: attempt to concatenate local 'boxProtectionLevel' (a nil value). when the page is unprotected or |force=yes
is used.

creating a sixth template with no default level that instead would say when the protection level could not be detected. By making that sixth template and updating the procedures at WP:MAKINGEREQ to use it we would get the best of both worlds. The editors wouldn't need to use a different template depending on the protection level, but at the same time they would be able to use the old templates with
|force=yes
to force another level when appropriate.

These doc pages are part of the {{
they}}-series of templates (full list
here) that specify the proper pronoun for a given user based on their
WP:Preferences; example: {{they|Bishonen}}
→ she. Each of these individual template /doc pages are almost identical, except for the usage line showing the template name, and a line of explanation of the results of the template, which looks like this (examples from {{
Them/doc}}, and {{
They are/doc}} ):
{{them}}
: This template will expand to one of "him", "her" or "them" depending on what the specified user has set in their preferences.{{they are}}
: This template will expand to one of "he is", "she is" or "they are" depending on what the specified user has set in their preferences.All the others have similar lines. Documentation for all of these templates is now handled by a single, template doc-generating template, namely, {{ They/doc}}. The individual doc pages are no longer needed, and should be removed.
Note: there are one or two in the full list, such as {{ they verb}}, that have special needs and therefore are not included here for deletion.

can be usedin multiple articles. Also registering my pushback against the idea that every newly created template has to be used in several articles immediately or face deletion within a month or so. Imagine if we applied that standard to our orphaned articles, or any other type of page on the website. Even unedited drafts get a six month grace period. Why do templates need to be deleted or used right right away?But, this template: doesn't wrap a citation template, it just outputs one; it sets
|display-authors=1
, which is pretty idiosyncratic and probably not desirable to many editors or possibly readers; uses the CS2 template {{
Citation}}, which has an identical caveat; uses both |date=
and |year=
, which adds pages transcluding it to
Category:CS1 maint: date and year; has no configurability, just outputting the same code without accepting any parameters in the template call.So, I feel this template is probably not fit to purpose. It should either be improved to a proper wrapper – without mandating a |display-authors=
parameter – as well as ditching one of either |date=
or |year=
; or it should be userfied pending improvement or deleted outright, the probable outcome.

Propose merging
Template:Infobox climber with
Template:Infobox mountaineer.
I think that Template:Infobox mountaineer could be handled by Template:Infobox climber. A lot of mountaineers do climbing and visa-versa. Infobox climber is the most important infobox (and the most detailed) and has the richest level of detail on their climbing/mountaineering career (I think infobox climber captures all of mountaineer career data. The mountaineer infobox items of "famous partnerships", "final ascent" and "retirement age" are subjective items). The main differences are around the non-climbing items that cand be just merged?

.That said, {{
Infobox climber}} wraps {{
Infobox sportsperson}}, whereas {{
Infobox mountaineer}} does not appear to, so many of the mountaineer parameters not present in the climber template may actually be inherited (the family stuff for sure).Why not just wrap {{
Infobox sportsperson}} with {{
Infobox mountaineer}} instead of trying to realign everything here? How many articles have a problem where it's unclear which template is more appropriate for the subject? Both genuine questions for
Aszx5000.

This family of templates contains just wikilinks, maybe with an icon (mostly used for decoration in violation of MOS:ICON). Over the last few years we've been moving away from the "one template for every version of X" system (be it for political parties, national sports, etc) in order to allow for easier updating and centralised coding. This is also a good example of "text stored in a template". Primefac ( talk) 23:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Propose merging
Template:Edit semi-protected with
Template:Request edit.
As I have (surprisingly) recently discovered, this entire family of templates auto-detects the protection level of the template for which the edit request is being made. This means that an {{
FPER}} placed on a template-protected template will result in exactly the same thing as a {{
TPER}}. Because of this, it seems to me that there is little reason to keep these all as separate templates, instead using the more obvious and reasonably-named {{
request edit}} as the base template for this family (instead of the latter template being used as a dab for all five).

I have struck {{ request edit}} since most of the participants feel it's not well-suited for the final target. Primefac ( talk) 13:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
COI=yes
or type=COI
could be used to flag the type of edit request that is being made, which would allow all six templates to be merged into
Template:Request edit. That would still keep them a separate process.

|force=
to force {{Edit extended-protected|force=yes}}
would no longer work.{{#invoke:protected edit request|extended}}
(where the default there is extended
). If the page to be edited is unprotected or if |force=yes
is used, then that default level is used. If these were all redirected to one template, then there would be a loss of functionality unless someone knows how to tell a module not merely which
wrapper is invoking a module (since there would only be one merged wrapper), but rather which redirect is being used to transclude the wrapper that invokes the module (and I don't think that is possible). If no default is provided when invoking the module, then it presently breaks with the error message Lua error in Module:Protected_edit_request/active at line 299: attempt to concatenate local 'boxProtectionLevel' (a nil value). when the page is unprotected or |force=yes
is used.

to specifying the level to force, eg. |force=extended

{{Request edit|force=semiprotected}}
be better than {{Edit semi-protected|force=yes}}
? Other than to satisfy a misguided desire for {{
Edit semi-protected}} to be a redirect rather than the wrapper it is now?

creating a sixth template with no default level that instead would say when the protection level could not be detected. By making that sixth template and updating the procedures at WP:MAKINGEREQ to use it we would get the best of both worlds. The editors wouldn't need to use a different template depending on the protection level, but at the same time they would be able to use the old templates with
|force=yes
to force another level when appropriate.
