Template:Fenerbahçe SK Harington Cup Squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary - only two articles linked exist in English Wikipedia. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 23:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It can't be deleted, because this throphy is a milestone of Turkish Football History and even Turkish Independence War. This football players are like heroes for Fenerbahçe Fans and Turkish People. Gökhan Tığ (talk) 01:20, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yet only two of these players have articles in English Wikipedia. I'm not proposing deleting the article on the cup itself - though that is in a terrible state - merely this template which appears to be pretty redundant.Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 18:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cold War by year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I've never seen templates that link to categories rather than articles, and this one has a lot of red-linked categories. Seems like the categories can just use the {{Year by category}} template instead. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 22:47, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Redundant to {{Infobox artwork}}; only three transclusions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I see a whole lot of parameters in "statue" that don't appear in the "artwork" documentation, like Built for, Demolished, Rebuilt, Restored, Restored by, Inaugurated, Architect, Architectural style, Cost, and a map window. Many of those are sculpture-specific parameters and are not applicable to two-dimensional artworks such as paintings, etchings or print. De728631 (talk) 21:51, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:POV-check-section (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I have added section parameters to three main maintenance templates. Now that the main templates have support for sections, these individual section templates are fairly redundant to the main templates. I would like to propose that:

I second this proposal. Especially since these templates are relatively seldom used, and the usage of a |section parameter is widely spread. Debresser (talk) 01:43, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment section templates are supposed to look like:
So... redirecting doesn't serve that purpose, an intermediate transclude that sets that up should though. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:02, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You mean somewhat like {{POV-section}}? Actually, are you sure that an intermediate transclude is necessary for it to work? That is definitely what I wanted to be the effect of a redirect. Debresser (talk) 09:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There's no other way to specify that it uses the section appearance instead of the regular appearance, that I know of, unless you add handling code in POV template to detect "section" and then specify that it look like a section template. Which when some section templates were merged and deleted earlier, no one bothered to add into the main templates... so an intermediate transclude would be easier to maintain. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 12:03, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Transclude or keep I don't care, but editors should be able to use these alternative section pseudonyms. There has been perpetual motion between combining and splitting these sorts of templates, which suggests that at least some people find it easier to add " section" or "-section" than "|section". In fact in some cases we deliberately migrate in the opposite direction. A consistent approach would be nice, but that's for an RFC I think. Rich Farmbrough, 21:14, 21 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Template:Georgian Kingdom Royal Style (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

It uses a generic unreferenced style for every single ruler of Georgia, Kartli, Kakheti, and Imereti which would be better off mentioned on the article itself with accurate and reliable sources like in Tamar of Georgia#Feudal monarchy or George III of Georgia#Title which both bolster the fact that there was no generic title or royal style for the monarchs of Georgia. And the coat of arms represents the Bagrationi dynasty before the 17/18th century not anyone before that period. Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 06:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree with removing this title from pages of kings who where not kings of all Georgia, I am against removing the coat of arms. This is the present coat of arms of the dynasty and consequently represents all monarchs from the dynasty. Whether it was created in the 17th century or yesterday should not make a difference. Your example of using Flag of Egypt to represent Ancient Egyptians is a very bad example because flag of Egypt is not a flag of an uninterrupted, ancient royal house like Bagrationi. Also, as far as I know, Alfred the Great and Queen Elizabeth are not from the same royal dynasty.--Andriabenia (talk) 12:37, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know what anachronism is? This coats of arms only represent the current dynasty; it can be used to represent people and places that existed before its existent.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 01:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Plus the biggest problem is the unreferenced generic style, not the coat of arms. George III is "The Most High King Giorgi, by the will of our Lord, King of Kings of the Abkhazians, Kartvelians, Ranians, Kakhetians and the Armenians, Shirvanshah and Shahanshah and Master of all the East and the West" while Tamar is identified as "by the will of God, King of Kings and Queen of Queens of the Abkhazians, Kartvelians, Arranians, Kakhetians, and Armenians; Shirvanshah and Shahanshah; Autocrat of all the East and the West, Glory of the World and Faith; Champion of the Messiah." This shows that Georgian titles and styles were never set in stone like this template would want us to believe.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 01:52, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Bagrationi is the same dynasty it was centuries ago and this is the coat of arms they have presently. This is not someone's personal or familial coat of arms. This is the coat of arms that we would apply to any king of Bagrationi, unless there is a different, clearly-identified coat of arms or a personal seal for each individual king, which will be difficult to find for medieval monarchs. And primitive sketches by Vakhushti do not count as coat of arms.--Andriabenia (talk) 09:54, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
