Template:Location map UK Scotland (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Location map Scotland (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Location map UK Scotland with Template:Location map Scotland.
confusing to have two different versions, with the only difference being that the maps are flipped. we should simply move {{Location map Scotland}} over {{Location map UK Scotland}}, keeping the history of {{Location map Scotland}} but using the map ordering of {{Location map UK Scotland}}. although the {{Location map Scotland}} is older, it is broken since {{Location map|Scotland|relief=yes}} returns the opposite as what is expected.

Full support. See also Template talk:Location map Scotland for more information. Michael! (talk) 20:23, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons to delete these templates:

  • precedents: Italy relief and South Tyrol relief
  • #2. "The template is redundant to a better-designed template"
  • #3. "The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used".

Besides, all relief location maps can be loaded by the default location map template, using the relief=1 parameter. For instance:

Michael! (talk) 18:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Note that "Template:Location map Eastern Europe relief3" does not exist as a "default" location map (there is no corresponding "Location map Eastern Europe" without relief) and cannot be invoked as such with the "relief=1" parameter. W. B. Wilson (talk) 19:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you're right. I should have nominated Template:Location map Eastern Europe relief3 separately, because it is a special case. It's completely unsuitable as a location map and should not have been created in the first place, because the geographic boundaries are completely wrong: it certainly doesn't cover the area between 0°N, 100°E and 100°S, 0°W.

Template:Information page (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

An oft-misused template. The wording of it seems to imply that a page's content has wide acceptance, while in fact I have witnessed it being put on what should be more appropriately called essays. No one seems to monitor its use, in contrast to {{policy}}, for which as I remember, a bot sends notifications to WP:VPPOL in case it gets added anywhere.

I would rather see this one deprecated; many uses can be replaced by {{essay}} or {{Wikipedia how to}}. Some pages, however, like WP:Lua do not quite seem to fit either, so perhaps the template itself may be retained (and reworded) for cases like these. Since this is Templates for discussion, I would like to know your thoughts. Keφr 06:03, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just because some people improperly use it doesn't mean there is a problem with the template. For example, I think it is being used properly at WP:VOA and WP:Rules for Fools. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 01:33, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
