Template:Conv (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The template is not used. It relies on a naming convention for unit conversion templates which didn't end up being followed. It could be edited to adhere to the new format but it would still be redundant to {{convert}}. — Jɪmp 08:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment/Keep (for now). This template is a substitutable template. We should save this until someone gives {{convert}} a substitutable option. —MJCdetroit 03:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Malcolm (talk) 22:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Redundant and broken. Mike Peel 07:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per WP:RUBBISH and above delete arguments, no opinion at present if new arguments are introduced. Remove includeonly tags and use delayed substitution, see m:Help:Substitution. --Thinboy00 talk/contribs 21:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I created this 'Conv' template as a 'wrapper' to pass 'data templates' like Template:m-ft (deleted a few days ago) to Template:Format measurement. One wrapper -> multiple data sets -> one formatting template. Purpose being to show how the same functionality and consistency provided by Template:Convert could be generated with a much smaller transclusion footprint. I held up wider implementation of the idea while new thoughts about format and multiple unit conversions were being ironed out. Recently, Jimp has apparently been developing a similar structure (also incorporating multiple conversion) with pages like Template:Convert/m ft. I think we definitely need consistent transcluded conversion templates with a smaller 'footprint' (transclude size) than Template:Convert, but Jimp's methodology does that just fine. I had to go look up what 'delayed substitution' (per Thinboy00's comment immediately above) meant... turns out I wrote the template cited as an example of it. You younguns with your newfangled terminology. :] That is the other form of conversion template I believe we should have; a template/templates which can be substituted to place nothing but the actual text onto the target page (per Template:Conv-dist). If Jimp is going to finish building out his modular template design, hopefully to eventually replace Template:Convert, then I'd probably use the 'Template:Conv' name for a single 'delayed substitution' template for all conversion types. This will be large, but since it is substituted down to just the resultant text there are no transclusion problems as with the current 'Convert'. --CBD 18:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Brief torch (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Another template, {{Brief}}, has been rewritten to take over this template's function. No pages link to this template any longer. I've contacted the creator of this template, he has no objection to its deletion. — Brian Olsen 19:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Cyprus Town or village (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template:Wildlife of India (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The existing template Template:WildlifeofIndia is much better and organised than this. — Amartyabag TALK2ME 03:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Actually the above is my personal view and i think there is a need to discuss the matter as two simillar templates must not co-exist. Either of the two templates need to be deleted. There is a need for thorough discussion. I think that this is the right place. Amartyabag TALK2ME 05:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One should be deleted, but my personal view is that both templates are poorly designed. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree two similar templates must not co-exist. Template:WildlifeofIndia is getting too cumbersome. It takes up too much space and makes the articles it is in harder to read and add images. On the other hand, Template:Wildlife of India is more compact and better organized. Do not delete it.-Marcus 05:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a wikibox guru so someone out there can clean it up, but you get the idea: make it the same size as a normal image thumb. It can be inserted in an infobox such as Template:Infobox Indian Jurisdiction/Examples/protected area as a footnote, as now shown for an example at Silent Valley National Park.

If there is consensus for this change just move Template:Wildlife of India to Template:WildlifeofIndia.

  • Vote for move: yes-Marcus 05:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vote for move:
  • One should redirect to the other, preferably to the one with spaces. Then the actual design of the template should be improved via the talk page. GizzaDiscuss © 14:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
