- @
Zackmann08,
Pigsonthewing,
DePiep I support merging or redirecting these templates to the main one, but I don't support replacement and deletion. I definitely see the benefits of centralisation here. I just think it's confusing to have a template relating to a district etc. replaced by one relating to a settlement. I think that prima facie districts and settlements are not the same, and I think this fact is true whether or not there has been incremental agreement for merging over the past 10 years. My main issue is with the name of the template {{
Infobox settlement}} being confusing to editors. I don't think it's a good look for new or future editors who want to edit our articles to start by seeing something that is clearly wrong and wondering what's going on around here. I also don't think it's useful for current editors because of the confusing title. Clearly DePiep shares these concerns and the fact that there are so many templates out there must mean some creators of said templates were similarly confused and couldn't find a logically titled template to do the job. I hope you can understand my point and that there is some way to compromise here... should we move this discussion to another venue? --
Tom (LT) (

- My point is,
Tom (LT): not even Wikipedia can change and even mix up the concepts of Settlement and Country (-parts, -subdivision, -historical, -whatever.). A "region" is a country-thing (per concept, so what a bad thing is this {{
Infobox region}}!), and a 'metropolitan area' is settlement by concept. The argument that "is has been done at enwiki for over a decade" makes it even worse, as does "the documentation says so". (Sure we could do with one {{Infobox thing}}). -

- DePiep it is true that these things are different conceptually but I do see a benefit in having a single infobox, particularly if the parameters are the same. As I see it, the options are (a) maintain status quo, (b) rename template to something more logical, or (c) create a region template and merge regions down there (although the parameters are likely to be the same or very similar) -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 23:23, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

- Template:NSFW ( talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This isn't really a template, but a pseudo-redirect. The original NSFW template was moved to to {{ UFW}} and this does nothing. It has no history or old code to preserve. While it is tagged with {{ historical}} there has been no discussion on either page that supports it. It should either act as a real redirect or be deleted. The deletion option is supported by the discussion at Template talk:UFW#Requested move 14 August 2018, where editors raised the concern that NSFW is already well known as "Not safe for work", which has nothing to do with this template. I personally support deletion. Gonnym ( talk) 14:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - NSFW=Not suitable for Wikipedia. It is unused in main space. Article NSFW redirects to Not safe for work and WP:NSFW redirects to Wikipedia:Pornography. All a bit confusing so seems to me that it would be best to delete rather than redirect. Nigej ( talk) 15:36, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy Redirect I am the creator. The NSFW was chosen specifically because it is easy to remember. It was only intended for draft/userspace in the AfC process and would never be used in mainspace. The template lead to a inclusion of the Reject option in AfC so no one is using it anymore. While I was away from regular internet access another user took it upon themselves to create the other template and instead of moving this one, replace it, which delayed deletion of a whole bunch of junk pages and caused other issues like this. There are a bunch of incoming links from discussions still. I don't think anyone should be confused by this template. Eventually this can be deleted when we the procees we used to get to Reject is futher in history.
A now blocked sockpuppet messed around with this and changed all the translutions over after a move discussion. The correct thing to do is place a proper redirect to Template:UFW which gives me attribution and preserves the usefulness of incoming links. If you look at Template talk:UFW you can see the move discussion and that that page is really belonging to this page before it was moved. Legacypac ( talk) 17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)- Your attribution is still preserved in the edit history of {{ UFW}} as it was a proper move and not a copy/paste. This template, on the other hand, gives you none of that. I would also not call 10 articles a bunch. These can all be changed in less than 1 minute to the new template if that is what's wanted. -- Gonnym ( talk) 21:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- No he changed a while bunch - some of which I've gone and G13'd manually now. Legacypac ( talk) 22:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per comments. Very confusing, particularly given this is for a very non-standard use of the terminology. I support delete as per Nigej to resolve this confusing situation. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 08:51, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Looking at the use of {{ UFW}} on Draft:Swaralipi (film) I'm wondering why we need that template anyway. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Tom (LT):.... {{
Infobox district}} itself redirects to {{
Infobox settlement}} so it has long been decided that district IS a settlement. Additionally the fact that this would be "confusing" contradicts that fact that such templates as {{
Infobox state}}, {{
Infobox Chilean region}}, {{

- @
Zackmann08,
Pigsonthewing,
DePiep I support merging or redirecting these templates to the main one, but I don't support replacement and deletion. I definitely see the benefits of centralisation here. I just think it's confusing to have a template relating to a district etc. replaced by one relating to a settlement. I think that prima facie districts and settlements are not the same, and I think this fact is true whether or not there has been incremental agreement for merging over the past 10 years. My main issue is with the name of the template {{
Infobox settlement}} being confusing to editors. I don't think it's a good look for new or future editors who want to edit our articles to start by seeing something that is clearly wrong and wondering what's going on around here. I also don't think it's useful for current editors because of the confusing title. Clearly DePiep shares these concerns and the fact that there are so many templates out there must mean some creators of said templates were similarly confused and couldn't find a logically titled template to do the job. I hope you can understand my point and that there is some way to compromise here... should we move this discussion to another venue? --
Tom (LT) (
talk) 00:04, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- My point is,
Tom (LT): not even Wikipedia can change and even mix up the concepts of Settlement and Country (-parts, -subdivision, -historical, -whatever.). A "region" is a country-thing (per concept, so what a bad thing is this {{
Infobox region}}!), and a 'metropolitan area' is settlement by concept. The argument that "is has been done at enwiki for over a decade" makes it even worse, as does "the documentation says so". (Sure we could do with one {{Infobox thing}}). -

- DePiep it is true that these things are different conceptually but I do see a benefit in having a single infobox, particularly if the parameters are the same. As I see it, the options are (a) maintain status quo, (b) rename template to something more logical, or (c) create a region template and merge regions down there (although the parameters are likely to be the same or very similar) -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 23:23, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

- Benefits would be that an infobox remains with a logical title that editors can use, however the coding is contained in a central place that can be more easily updated. --

- I didn't ask you to enumerate what you perceive to be the benefits; I asked you what, in your view, such actions would entail. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 00:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

- My point is,
Tom (LT): not even Wikipedia can change and even mix up the concepts of Settlement and Country (-parts, -subdivision, -historical, -whatever.). A "region" is a country-thing (per concept, so what a bad thing is this {{
Infobox region}}!), and a 'metropolitan area' is settlement by concept. The argument that "is has been done at enwiki for over a decade" makes it even worse, as does "the documentation says so". (Sure we could do with one {{Infobox thing}}). -

- @
Tom (LT):.... {{
Infobox district}} itself redirects to {{
Infobox settlement}} so it has long been decided that district IS a settlement. Additionally the fact that this would be "confusing" contradicts that fact that such templates as {{
Infobox state}}, {{
Infobox Chilean region}}, {{
Infobox neighborhood}}, {{
Infobox hamlet}} and {{
Infobox Cambodian district}} ALL redirect to {{
Infobox settlement}}. --

Have come around to your point of view. Regardless of my feelings about the title, the template as it is could be simplified considerably if lots of these wrappers were removed. --

- Support replacement. In the current implementation of this template system, it would be more beneficial for the code to be centralized and used by the main template. -- Gonnym ( talk) 11:54, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

This isn't really a template, but a pseudo-redirect. The original NSFW template was moved to to {{ UFW}} and this does nothing. It has no history or old code to preserve. While it is tagged with {{ historical}} there has been no discussion on either page that supports it. It should either act as a real redirect or be deleted. The deletion option is supported by the discussion at Template talk:UFW#Requested move 14 August 2018, where editors raised the concern that NSFW is already well known as "Not safe for work", which has nothing to do with this template. I personally support deletion. Gonnym ( talk) 14:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - NSFW=Not suitable for Wikipedia. It is unused in main space. Article NSFW redirects to Not safe for work and WP:NSFW redirects to Wikipedia:Pornography. All a bit confusing so seems to me that it would be best to delete rather than redirect. Nigej ( talk) 15:36, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy Redirect I am the creator. The NSFW was chosen specifically because it is easy to remember. It was only intended for draft/userspace in the AfC process and would never be used in mainspace. The template lead to a inclusion of the Reject option in AfC so no one is using it anymore. While I was away from regular internet access another user took it upon themselves to create the other template and instead of moving this one, replace it, which delayed deletion of a whole bunch of junk pages and caused other issues like this. There are a bunch of incoming links from discussions still. I don't think anyone should be confused by this template. Eventually this can be deleted when we the procees we used to get to Reject is futher in history.
A now blocked sockpuppet messed around with this and changed all the translutions over after a move discussion. The correct thing to do is place a proper redirect to Template:UFW which gives me attribution and preserves the usefulness of incoming links. If you look at Template talk:UFW you can see the move discussion and that that page is really belonging to this page before it was moved. Legacypac ( talk) 17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)- Your attribution is still preserved in the edit history of {{ UFW}} as it was a proper move and not a copy/paste. This template, on the other hand, gives you none of that. I would also not call 10 articles a bunch. These can all be changed in less than 1 minute to the new template if that is what's wanted. -- Gonnym ( talk) 21:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- No he changed a while bunch - some of which I've gone and G13'd manually now. Legacypac ( talk) 22:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per comments. Very confusing, particularly given this is for a very non-standard use of the terminology. I support delete as per Nigej to resolve this confusing situation. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 08:51, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Looking at the use of {{ UFW}} on Draft:Swaralipi (film) I'm wondering why we need that template anyway. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
