The two templates above could be merged into {{DATECOMP}}. This would simplify things, however, as with the other two {{DATECOMP}} has been hanging around for about five years and never used. I seems to me that the reason is that they are not useful. You wouldn't use them directly since it would be easier to figure out which date comes first with your brain rather than figure out how to use the template to do the same. They could only be useful within other templates but you'd be better off just coding directly using parser functions. Thus delete them all. JIMp talk· cont 20:27, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Keep but the usage of this template shall be restricted to cases when Chinese characters are used. Ruslik_ Zero 19:10, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Modern Vietnamese uses Latin characters that pose no difficulties for the vast majority of Wiki readers. So why do editors use this template anyway? It may reflect a misunderstanding that Vietnamese is written using Chinese characters, or Hán tự as the template puts it. Vietnamese today study Chinese characters only if they take Chinese as a foreign language -- and this has been true for over 50 years. IMO, use of this template can only promote confusion on this point among readers. There are a couple of articles where a template like this makes sense, for example Chữ Nôm or The Tale of Kieu. But it is proliferating all over the Vietnam-related articles, and for no good reason. Kauffner ( talk) 14:41, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
The question therefore is not whether the reader can handle the script (though I don't agree that the Vietnamese Latin alphabet poses no difficulties) but whether their computer (hardware/software (browser)) can. Do the characters appear as question marks without the said rendering support? However, if it's kept, if should be translated in to English. JIMp talk· cont 18:05, 23 August 2011 (UTC)This page contains Vietnamese text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of chữ Nôm, chữ Hán and chữ Quốc Ngữ.

An unnecessarily negative template. Also seems to lack a purpose: WP:AFC article drafts use {{ AFC submission}} for explaining problems in the draft; I do not see a place for this template elsewhere. Currently unused. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:29, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Keep. There is a consensus to keep the template's functionality, although there is no consensus how to do this: to keep a separate template or to merge it into {{ Coord}}. So, for the time being it is kept. Ruslik_ Zero 19:25, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Redundant to {{ Coord}}, which has better features. No evidence of consensus to have a template for coordinates which does not display them. WP:GEO will be notified of this nomination. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:42, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
{{
coord}}
indicates an area from a point to a country, it's not much use for linear features. There has been much debate recently on the merits of adding {{
coord}}
to road, rail line, river, etc. articles. This template appears to be a step in the direction of addressing that problem. --

{{
Coord}}
. About two years ago, we finally got rid of the proliferation of coordinate templates like {{
coordinate}}
, {{
Geolinks-US-cityscale}}
, {{
coor dms}}
, {{
coord dm}}
, etc. Shc
is a step backwards—though for a very good reason: less overhead. Coord
really should be streamlined so that it can be used everywhere. My proposal to merge this would include taking all the advantages from Shc
and removing all the disadvantages of Coord
. It really should have been done several years ago. This is as good an excuse to do it now as any. I once dabbled with making Coord
lighter weight, but didn't see it through: I'm willing to help this effort by finishing. —
