The result of the discussion was merge Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 04:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox lake (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Infobox ocean (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Infobox bay (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox lake with Template:Infobox ocean.
propose merging {{infobox lake}} and {{infobox ocean}} to create {{infobox waterbody}}. I just went through all the transclusions of {{infobox ocean}} and, interestingly, many of them were using the parameters for {{infobox lake}}, and none of them are oceans. using a size-neutral name would avoid this issue. given the number of tranclusions and the template ages, it would involve moving {{infobox lake}} to {{infobox waterbody}}, then adding any missing parameters to that template, then redirecting the ocean template to the new waterbody template. no information would be lost. Frietjes (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support, keeping both existing template names as redirects. Note that there are some outstanding proposals for additional parameters on the lake template's talk page, which could be added when the new template is created.

Support Yeah, this is exactly what I said! Technical 13 (talk) 17:47, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment if merged, start a new edit history at {{infobox body of water}} or {{infobox waterbody}}, and merge and redirect the two infoboxes ; also redirect {{infobox sea}}, {{infobox gulf}} and {{infobox pond}} to it. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:18, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- no need for a new edit history when they are all forks of {{infobox lake}} (as stated in the edit history for infobox bay, and clear in the edit history of infobox ocean). Frietjes (talk) 17:52, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment what about {{infobox bay}} ? -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- yes, that one should be merged also. Frietjes (talk) 17:52, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; I generally support on the basis that {{infobox dam}} has revised text encouraging use relating to man-made reservoirs, instead of {{infobox lake}}. My observations are that {{infobox lake}} appears incorrectly and widely used relating to the body of water, where the correct subject matter should be the dam, that provides content for the impounded water. However, not all lakes are near the ocean/sea/bay. For example, Australia has a number of inland lakes that have no primary inflow or outflow (see the following endorheic lakes: Lake George, Lake Eyre, and Lake Corangamite). A redirect may also be worthwhile for {{infobox reservoir}}, and it should by shifted from {{infobox lake}} to {{infobox dam}}. Rangasyd (talk) 09:57, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd object to redirecting to {{infobox dam}}; I've used {{infobox lake}} on a number of articles about reservoirs, where they are more notable then the dam which contains them, or where there is no dam. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:43, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but can we call it {{infobox body of water}} rather than making up a new word please! — Scott • talk 16:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- according to waterbody and template:coord#type:T it is an existing word. Frietjes (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary, clutter, WP:NENAN. There is nothing about being on the roster of a franchise that played its first season in MLB that is more special than the third, eleventh or fifty-seventh season was. Basically a list in template space as this is not a useful navigational aid; in many cases, it simply reflects not-significant intersections of players at a single moment in time.
