These four templates all concern the First Presidency of the LDS Church and as such they end up cross sharing the same pages. I have done similar merges in the past, but not so many at once, so I just had to make some adjustments to incorporate the proper wording. Therefore I have done the coding and you can see how they would be merged together in my userspace

- User:ARTEST4ECHO/template - Actual coding
If you note, if any of the current versions can of the templates will still be available, if desired, however, I would suspect that they wont be used much. Additionally if there are any concerns or suggestion I would be willing to implement them. -- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 16:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

- Support. One template would be far superior to what currently exists. I'm not sure why
Template:LDSfirstpresidencyCURRENT was created since it's only a presidency of 3. The draft is great—we could also divide First and Second Counselors, if desired, though that might make things more messy.

- Good idea on dividing First and Second Counselors, and it is done. It took some work and some "choices" by me on how to list them, as a number of them had the position numerous times, but during different years and there were the "Assistant Counselors, Counselors and Third Counselors". I choose to list each time separately, like most of the other LDS Templates.

The result of the discussion was update the portal bar template to either use the same lua module as {{ portal}}, or to use the portal bar module, which ever is deemed most appropriate. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 04:03, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

- Comment - It would be easier to add a

The two templates do different things. Sure, you could add a new function to portal at the cost of making it more complex and potentially messing up 4.8 million pages if you get it wrong. But assuming it is done right, everything will look the same as it is now. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 23:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)- I don't agree with you.

- Support - I've just added the relevant code to
Module:Portal/sandbox. See
Template:Portal bar/testcases for some example output. In reply to Hawkeye7 and Niwi3, there are a few benefits to doing this, even though the output will look mostly the same. The Lua code will be faster, and adding a
barfunction to the module won't have any effect on the speed of the existingportalfunction, as it won't be accessed when {{ portal}} is called. Also, {{ portal}} and {{ portal bar}} share the same image-getting code, so it makes sense to have them in the same module. (Although I suppose you could just as easily use Module:Portal's image-getting code from another module.) In addition, porting the template to Lua will remove the 18-portal limit, and will prevent the template from showing an empty white box if no portals are specified. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 10:57, 6 September 2013 (UTC) - Support - As long as the same functionality exists in the other template, as the creator of {{ Portal bar}}, I'm fine with a merger. – Maky « talk » 14:23, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

The code is written, working, and tested; porting {{ portal bar}} to Lua increases its speed and removes the 18-portal limitation; and all we need to do to make the switch is to update Module:Portal and Template:Portal bar from their sandboxes.

Module:Portal doesnt use
module:navbar, but
template:Portal bar does. Thats mean that a merge would let module:portal use module:navbar. The consequence is that talk pages has to be updated too when changes is made to module:navbar (because talk page banners usually use module:portal). I think the job queue is broken enough - at the moment "what links here" and category populations is delayed a few weeks...

- Comment. I was thinking about Christian75's oppose, and he has a point. I don't know if the way I had written Module:Portal/sandbox would require an update of all pages using portals every time Module:Navbox is updated. But either way, it's probably best to assume that it would, as even if it doesn't, assuming that it would will make the code more robust. So I have gone ahead and created Module:Portal bar and linked Template:Portal bar/sandbox to it. I've also removed the bar function from Module:Portal/sandbox. This leaves us with the same functionality as before, but without the risk to the job queue. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 03:20, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

- That's the reassurance I wanted. My initial opposition was based on my belief that every single page currently utilizing portal bar would have to be changed (either manually or by bot); it'd be extremely inconvenient given the number of articles I've added portal bar to.

These four templates all concern the First Presidency of the LDS Church and as such they end up cross sharing the same pages. I have done similar merges in the past, but not so many at once, so I just had to make some adjustments to incorporate the proper wording. Therefore I have done the coding and you can see how they would be merged together in my userspace

- User:ARTEST4ECHO/template - Actual coding
If you note, if any of the current versions can of the templates will still be available, if desired, however, I would suspect that they wont be used much. Additionally if there are any concerns or suggestion I would be willing to implement them. -- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 16:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

- Support. One template would be far superior to what currently exists. I'm not sure why
Template:LDSfirstpresidencyCURRENT was created since it's only a presidency of 3. The draft is great—we could also divide First and Second Counselors, if desired, though that might make things more messy.

- Good idea on dividing First and Second Counselors, and it is done. It took some work and some "choices" by me on how to list them, as a number of them had the position numerous times, but during different years and there were the "Assistant Counselors, Counselors and Third Counselors". I choose to list each time separately, like most of the other LDS Templates. However, if you (or anyone else) has a different method, I would be more then happy to address doing it that way.-- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 14:19, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was update the portal bar template to either use the same lua module as {{ portal}}, or to use the portal bar module, which ever is deemed most appropriate. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 04:03, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:Portal bar with

Its function is similar to {{
Portal}}. We can safely merge this into {{
Portal}} by adding bar parameter.

- Comment - It would be easier to add a

If we merged the templates we would need to go through and change all the {{ portal bar}} invocations, but if we do the work in Module:Portal we would only have to alter Template:Portal bar itself. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 22:00, 5 September 2013 (UTC) OpposeWhat is the benefit? The two templates do different things. Sure, you could add a new function to portal at the cost of making it more complex and potentially messing up 4.8 million pages if you get it wrong. But assuming it is done right, everything will look the same as it is now. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 23:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)- I don't agree with you. They (should) do the same thing, but since {{ Portal}} has been ported to Lua, {{ Portal bar}} is obsolete. It only looks different.

Portal bar}} not obsolete; it still works. But I have been swayed by Stradivarius' arguments. Still oppose merging but support the proposal to add a

- Support - I've just added the relevant code to
Module:Portal/sandbox. See
Template:Portal bar/testcases for some example output. In reply to Hawkeye7 and Niwi3, there are a few benefits to doing this, even though the output will look mostly the same. The Lua code will be faster, and adding a
barfunction to the module won't have any effect on the speed of the existingportalfunction, as it won't be accessed when {{ portal}} is called. Also, {{ portal}} and {{ portal bar}} share the same image-getting code, so it makes sense to have them in the same module. (Although I suppose you could just as easily use Module:Portal's image-getting code from another module.) In addition, porting the template to Lua will remove the 18-portal limit, and will prevent the template from showing an empty white box if no portals are specified. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 10:57, 6 September 2013 (UTC) - Support - As long as the same functionality exists in the other template, as the creator of {{ Portal bar}}, I'm fine with a merger. – Maky « talk » 14:23, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

The code is written, working, and tested; porting {{ portal bar}} to Lua increases its speed and removes the 18-portal limitation; and all we need to do to make the switch is to update Module:Portal and Template:Portal bar from their sandboxes.

Module:Portal doesnt use
module:navbar, but
template:Portal bar does. Thats mean that a merge would let module:portal use module:navbar. The consequence is that talk pages has to be updated too when changes is made to module:navbar (because talk page banners usually use module:portal). I think the job queue is broken enough - at the moment "what links here" and category populations is delayed a few weeks...

- Comment. I was thinking about Christian75's oppose, and he has a point. I don't know if the way I had written Module:Portal/sandbox would require an update of all pages using portals every time Module:Navbox is updated. But either way, it's probably best to assume that it would, as even if it doesn't, assuming that it would will make the code more robust. So I have gone ahead and created Module:Portal bar and linked Template:Portal bar/sandbox to it. I've also removed the bar function from Module:Portal/sandbox. This leaves us with the same functionality as before, but without the risk to the job queue. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 03:20, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
