The result of the discussion was merge, but please let me know if there are any technical difficulties. As far as I can tell, these are mostly used within other templates, and (for the most part) you just need change {{Infobox country at Foo games}}
to {{Infobox country at games|games=Foo games}}
. However, there could be technical issues with merging them without adding a large amount of code to the main {{
Infobox country at games}} (or significantly reducing any of the automated features of the individual templates). So, if there are any technical problems, let me know, and I can reconsider the closure. Thanks!

Each redundant to the more generic {{ Infobox country at games}}, created when several other, similar templates were merged, and into which any required parameters should be merged. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
"Other templates may or indeed may not be proposed for merger in future, there is no deadline and " other stuff exists" is routinely discounted as an argument for keeping templates". We regularly merge templates which are as similar as these (and often less so) to reduce the maintenance overhead, and to make it easier for editors to determine which to use. Also, you are labouring under an unfortunate misapprehension. We merge templates such as these, using wrappers or redirects, in ways that mean that no edits should need to be made to the individual articles which use them. You assert, without evidence, that "merging will cause many problems". Please give some examples. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:53, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

"about the olympics template... Other templates may or indeed may not be proposed for merger in future, there is no deadline."It would be improper (and is unnecessary) to add them to this proposal. this far in. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:12, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Recently-created fork of Template:Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. That template is transcluded to one page - Keighley and Worth Valley Railway - and if it is too big there, it may be trimmed down; there is no need to create another with substantially-similar content.

This is mostly an actor filmography navigational template going against WP:MOSFILM. If the television, direct-to-video and filmography sections are removed we are left with: the video games section that is a list of the video games and two redirects to the list, their individual articles, their combined article, their sister's article, a company they created and Michelle Tanner, the character they are most known for which equals seven articles that are already linked on both their individual articles and their combined article thereby making this navigational template unnecessary.
