The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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 merge to Template:Marvel-Comics-trademark-copyright. Just as a minor note regarding the DC version, it is probably okay to be BOLD and merge the two templates, but obviously if there is opposition take them to TFD. Primefac (talk) 16:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Marvel-Comics-trademark-copyright with Template:MarvelAni-trademark-copyright.
The "MarvelAni" copyright template adds an additional sentence for Marvel's various animation copyright needs, and as of this discussion, is only used to note on 11 files. The info of the "MarvelAni" template can be added to the "Marvel-Comics" template, and it also is helpful should any additional expansions be done, they can all just be coded to the "Marvel-Comics" template. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: As I recently updated the formatting for both of these templates and added some additional features, I think merging these would be a more adequate solution than having two split templates with one calling the other. I will note that this should also be done with merging {{DCAni-trademark-copyright}} into {{DC-Comics-trademark-copyright}}, as well, given they are quite similar in concept and have the same features.

Template:Detailed Middle East topic

Unsuccessful copy of Template:Middle East topic The Banner talk 09:12, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Banner, what do you mean by "unsuccessful copy"? MWQs (talk) 10:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, you make clear that it is a copy/fork from "Template:Middle East topic". Second, the template starts with "prefix= join= the Greater Middle East". The Banner talk 16:56, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Second, the "the template starts with "prefix= join= the Greater Middle East". The template displays instructions if people leave the variables blank. If the variables are properly filled in e.g. {{d Middle East topic| prefix = religion | join = in }} then it displays the topic pages for the regions. If that's not intuitive, I'm happy to change it? (compare first and last below) MWQs (talk) 13:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is that new error meagre more helpful? Or should it just say "The Greater Middle East"? I want it to give an error message because it takes the variables differently to the others templates that look similar. MWQs (talk) 14:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Re: First, you make clear that it is a copy/fork from "Template:Middle East topic". I used the {{Middle East topic}} template as a starting point, but I changed almost everything. @Mikeblas said I need to mention in the edit summary every time I copy something, even if it's only little bits or I intend to change it later. There is pretty much none of {{Middle East topic}} left. There's the names of some of the places (about 20% to 50% - red links don't show) - compare 1 and 2 below - but that's only as much overlap as {{Middle East topic}} and {{Asia topic}} - compare 3 and 2 below. MWQs (talk) 13:48, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not what I said; it's a policy of Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:12, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I misinterpreted. The relevant bit of that link seems to be "content forking" but I'm a bit unsure on what I was supposed to do differently? How should I describe it if I start with a copy of something but plan to turn it into something non-redundant? I just described what I stated with in the first edit. But then I changed pretty much everything. It's part of a set that all overlap at least one other, the places in {{Middle East topic}} are Egypt plus a subset of {{Asia topic}} and that's a subset of {{World topic}}, but they all have different levels of detail etc. Then there's at least 3 sub regions of {{Americas topic}}. MWQs (talk) 04:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As I've stated before in MWQs related templates. If you feel something is missing in the template, propose that it is added to the actual template instead of creating a fork. I personally don't find your additions helpful here as they usually end up with either irrelevant locations to the topic (Europe, EU in a navbox about the middle east) or full of redirect links which navbox should not include. Also, why create a wall of nested sections and transclusions? Does this look like a documentation page? Gonnym (talk) 08:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Asia and the Middle East
Americas
Blank (all regions shown) 
1. {{d Middle East topic}}

The Template:d Middle East topic includes a lot of historical regions (e.g. Ottoman Empire), and broad regions (e.g. Arab world) and it more broadly covers the Greater Middle East, including North Africa, and Central Asia, etc. It also covers a lot of disputed territories that aren't on the {{Middle East topic}} version (Western Sahara, Northern Cyprus, etc.) 

2. {{Middle East topic}}

The Template:Middle East topic only has current countries in West Asia and Egypt. 

3. {{Asia topic}}

TheTemplate:Asia topic includes current countries in all of Asia.

with variables added 
4. {{d Middle East topic| prefix = religion | join = in }}

Propose merging Template:Navbox_usage with Template:Navbox documentation.
The target seems to serve the same purpose but is much more comprehensive. Set theorist (talk) 07:57, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article content template used only for the 2024 Indian Premier League final and subsequent future events. Deleting this template will not result in any loss of attribution, as the creator of this template is the only one who has used it. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I just disabled display of a non-free file (that which is specified in the infobox given the year) outside of mainspace. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The goal of this preload is to maintain uniformity within the IPL final articles.
If it isn't worthy of a template, then Userfy it to User:Vestrian24Bio/Sandbox/IPL/Final preload over redirect. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 05:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Hindu Temples in Pudukkottai District with Template:Hindu temples in Pudukkottai District.
The incorrectly capitalized version is the larger and the one generally in use with far more transclusions than the (correctly) uncapitalized version. I suggest merging under the title "Template:Hindu temples in Pudukkottai District" and correcting the name at each article where it's transcluded. DB1729talk 00:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
