These templates are nearly functionally equivalent. The former is typically used for the most viewed page, while the latter is used for being somewhere on the top 25 (in any nth place). But the former allows a param to specify the place, and the latter allows comments for the same. They're used on many articles separately, bloating the page (eg
Talk:Sushant Singh Rajput). I don't see a reason why this can't be merged into one template.

A large number of duplicate userboxes exist with pretty much the same function and appearance. It would be easier to have a single userbox for this usage case. A parameter that decides what is used for the word "written", and the ability to insert the number of good articles, means that lots of templates can be rolled into a single template with a simple name and unified formatting.
This will also stop the gradual proliferation of more infoboxes as new boxes won't have to be created for every variation on the word "written" ("contributed", "added significantly to" etc). Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
