This is for citing Catalogue of Life, which is a useful taxonomic database. Only 3 transclusions since 2016. No documentation. Seems to cite a very specific subset of the website (the 2011 Annual Checklist) rather than the regular search page. Suggest subst-ing the 3 transclusions then delete. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:14, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I made this template simply to ease the translation of contents from other languages back to English. Also, there is now a newer 3rd version of citing contents from CoL, but I never included. Open to comments, suggestions or modification. --Tomchiukc (talk) 03:11, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I found the similar template {{Catalogue of Life}} today, which is what I was expecting this one to be and which has 284 transclusions. If {{Cite COL}} kept, it should perhaps be renamed to {{Cite COL 2011 Annual Checklist}} or similar, so as not to get mixed up with the template {{Catalogue of Life}}. Still leaning delete though since only 3 transclusions. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:00, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and the later findings. --Izno (talk) 21:18, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox Memorial Cup with Template:Infobox hockey tournament season.
{{Infobox hockey tournament season}} has the same functionality. It actually has more that could increase the amount of information shown in infobox. See my post on the template talk page for a side-by-side view of the templates. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:12, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I dislike attempts to put more information inside infoboxes, which are now bloated with unnecessary trivia. Simpler is better. Flibirigit (talk) 11:23, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Just because there are more parameters available, doesn't mean they have to all be used. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:04, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Adding more unnecessary parameters violates MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Simpler is better. Flibirigit (talk) 01:40, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Izno (talk) 00:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've updated the syntax to pass parameters to {{Infobox ice hockey tournament season}} so that it has the same style without adding the additional parameters as I agree too many are clunky and unnecessary. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:55, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Izno (talk) 21:17, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • substitute and delete, people generally copy the infobox from the prior season when starting an article for a new season, so simply omitting the parameters will generally control any in-article parameter bloat. Frietjes (talk) 18:10, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete after substitution. The lack of other cup templates in Category:Ice hockey infobox templates indicates that most articles are using the general template, and not a cup-specific version. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 20:09, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
