Template:Adsabs ( talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was used to create links to the Astrophysics Data System in references, using bibcodes. However, {{ citation}} and other relevant templates now support |bibcode=. I cleaned up the remaining use of {{ Adsabs}} (there were only 6-7 articles using them), and now it's completely unused (other than a couple of mentions in non-article space).

  • Delete. If the citation template, which is pretty much the de facto standard, supports it, we should encourage users to use the standard template. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 23:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Although this template could be used for external linking in a WP:EL section, its actual use has been for references. And while there is no requirement to use templates at all when creating citations, there is still a good argument for not having unnecessary redundant citation templates when templates are used. -- RL0919 ( talk) 18:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was Delete from template space. Individual editors are permitted to place warning messages in their own words, but template space is normally used for messages that have some consensus for widespread use, which this apparently does not. Copies in user space are potentially subject to MFD, but since the content is neither abusive nor a clear misrepresentation of policy, I expect that significantly greater latitude would be given there.

Template:Uw-bv ( talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template is a cross between a Level 1 and a Level 4im vandalism template. In my experience, users giving subsequent warnings after this template is placed seem not to know how to interpret its presence, considering I've seen Level 1 warnings added for further vandalism soon after this template was placed (i.e. the warning is not yet "stale") a number of times. Additionally, this single-issue is redundant to the full set of vandalism templates that people do know how to handle, and its wording has recently been adopted in the Level 4 and Level 4im templates, making this template quite redundant. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 12:18, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

  • I can already see that the template is still used, but it might send an incorrect message to new editors that would otherwise receive a level 1 warning. Very strong cease and desist right off the bat is not a good idea. mechamind 9 0 20:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply
    • It depends, there are various levels of warning and level 1 is not always the most appropriate. Template:Uw-bv doesn't misrepresent policy, so isn't inappropriate to use as a message, and there is no need to restrict the number of templates in use; the only effect deletion of this template would achieve is that anyone who intends to continue using it would have to make a copy of it in their user space. snigbrook ( talk) 21:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply
      • Well, the problem is that this is trying to be a level 1 and a 4im all rolled into one, and doesn't succeed in being either one. Other editors giving subsequent warnings don't know how to handle it in my experience. I've seen the level 1 come right after this template, and I've also seen blocks on subsequent vandalisms with this template used. Additionally, I've found level 1 warnings in my experience to be next to worthless, and so I start with level 2 warnings and bypass the first-tier warnings entirely. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 04:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC) reply
I usually, but rarely use this template on the obvious blatant, registered account vandals, and I find that it gets the message across harshly, but efficiently. I've copied this to my userspace, so I don;t have an opinion on this deletion.
