April 28 edit

Template:ITunes edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:02, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We shouldn't encourage links to a store for albums or apps (which seems to be the main purpose here). Why privilege iTunes over eMusic or Amazon or going to your local record store (which is the best of these options)? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:35, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Judging by the link appearing at Dose Your Dreams, this seems like a useful source of metadata, not some sales site. Am I missing something? Nyttend (talk) 23:28, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What useful metadata? I see only basic information there—and links to buy the music at iTunes. SteveStrummer (talk) 22:28, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Needs a wider discussion alongside {{ASIN}} for consistency. Cabayi (talk) 07:07, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    ASIN is a special case, because some works can only be identified by their ASIN (self-published, many times). If that template needs discussion, it should be discussed separate to any other. --Izno (talk) 16:35, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:13, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only two linked articles not counting a third I have sent to AFD. Many of the others were already deleted at AFD. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 21:44, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:34, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - None of those people are inherently notable by virtue of having been Pineville's mayor at some point in time, which is what this template is suggesting. It's just a collection of non-notable people. RetiredDuke (talk) 13:09, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Navseasoncats. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:03, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With the change of {{Navseasoncats}} to use Module:Navseasoncats, seems all these unused sub-pages are not needed anymore. Gonnym (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Template:Navseasoncats, since most of these templates are used for attribution and reference in various parts of the Luafication process, and probably at other times. It might also be useful for other 'normal' editors (non-admins unable to see deleted content) to much more easily see/refer to the transition from template to Lua.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  04:29, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly sure how edit notices work with regards to redirects. {{Infobox UK school}} is a redirect to {{Infobox school}} and it seems this edit notice does not show up on the school template, which makes this unused. Gonnym (talk) 18:21, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yep, it's redundant now that the UK infobox is merged into the general infobox. Hopefully it's more obvious that the template covers more than one educational system. I've tagged it G7 as redundant. Cabayi (talk) 18:43, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:KSH code edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete after substituting all transclusions. Primefac (talk) 02:22, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All this does is provide a 5 digital value that is used by the currently being deleted {{Infobox Hungarian settlement}} to format a URL. For example: [http://www.ksh.hu/apps/!cp.hnt2.telep?nn={{KSH code|name={{PAGENAME}}}}]. Since the template was created in 2014, the values have not been updated a single time. There is no reason to store them in a massive switch statement. This slows down the performance of the page dramatically as it must parse this switch statement up to 3 times depending on how many times it is called. The 5 digit value should just be directly provided by the page that is creating the link. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:28, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite to retrieve values from KSH code (P939) instead of storing them locally. That will save us the hassle of having to create a new template, and then use AWB to deploy it.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 19:38, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Underlying lk: there is no reason to retrieve the values from Wikidata. This is for a source url. Just put the value in the url, it isn't going to change. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:43, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navbox. This duplicates multiple other templates by combining them all into one massive navbox. For example, the first row, Imst District is covered by {{Cities and towns in Imst (district)}}. The second row Innsbruck-Land District is covered by {{Cities and towns in Innsbruck-Land (district)}} etc. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 23:05, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - per nom. Best done at district level. Nigej (talk) 07:15, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
At least sort out all the articles linked in it with categories, a lot aren't even categorized, perhaps Ser Amantio di Nicolao can help. Personally I think on a global level tiny district templates tend to be of limited use, best to be able to browse larger regions. You can always sub collapse the big template.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:04, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Much more useful to browse a state wide area, suggest reintroducing it and sub shrinking it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Surely what we don't need are two parallel systems (Category:Tyrol (state) templates) Either 1 big one or 8 small ones, not both. Generally the district level seems to be preferred for other states. Nigej (talk) 09:38, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm talking about article categories, ones like Karres aren't even categorized so how are people supposed to navigate the wider area? Dumb. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:55, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I was aware that your comment related to categories. However the topic at hand is about the template. Karres does include template {{Cities and towns in Imst (district)}} and is in Category:Imst District so I'm clearly missing your point anyway. Nigej (talk)
Only because Wooden added it after I said the others aren't. Think globally. There's currently no way for people browsing to access these articles from the parent categories.There should at least be a Category:Municipalities of Tyrol. Ser Amantio di Nicolao can you sort out the categories for this?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:07, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as unused. If the articles for all Austrian municipalities are employing the district level templates, then those are the ones that are needed. We don't need both. --woodensuperman 11:13, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

overkill since we already have {{Thai League 1}}, {{Thai League T2}}, {{Thai League 3}}, {{Thai League 4}}, {{Thai League Cup seasons}} which makes this generally redundant navigation Frietjes (talk) 14:56, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete after replacement with {{Infobox settlement}}. — JJMC89 (T·C) 00:29, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Replace and delete

Country-specific wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions, on pretty stable sets of articles. Subst:itution will reduce the maintenance overhead, reduce the cognitive burden for editors, and enable articles to benefit more immediately from improvements to the current parent template. Used for different types of entities, so the type has to be specified anyway. {{Infobox settlement}} can be used directly.

Very uncommon practice: The only country-specific wrapper for articles about places located in member states of the Arab league.

Note: Despite being named "Infobox settlement" the template is not only used for settlements. Per its documentation, Infobox settlement is "used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country". That is practice for over a decade, it is used on ~ 500000 articles. 89.14.5.58 (talk) 00:23, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Replace and delete - Seems inconsistent to have a specific template for "UAE community" but for no other similar places in the Arab League. TerraCyprus (talk) 13:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
