November 23

[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 merge to Template:Lx. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 02:14, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Lc1 with Template:Lx.
Right now, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion deletion nominations are styled as:

Category:Foo - (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

No other XfD uses monospace font (which is reserved for showing code or input). No other XfD uses both a hyphen (which should be a dash) and parenthesis to separate the page name from the links.

To accomplish this, CfD transcludes {{Lc1}}, which itself transcludes {{Lx}} with its own parameter "cfd2", which is there solely to create this weird formatting for CfD.

I'd like to propose we simply use {{Lx}} in its normal use, which will produce:

Category:Foo (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Such a solution would be implemented by deleting Template:Lc1 and replacing it with, or redirecting it to, Template:Lx, which is why this discussion is here at TfD. But at the least, I would like to eliminate the hyphen and the monospacing in favor of a wider but proportionally spaced font. --Bsherr (talk) 21:33, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox settlement wrappers

The result of the discussion was delete after replacing/substing to use {{Infobox settlement}}. Primefac (talk) 00:54, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary wrappers for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions. 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.

9 transclusions total, including those outside of mainspace. All articles on which it is transcluded consist of perpetual motion hoaxes, except for MOS-failing one about psychoanalysis in which the stated controversy is "Para-Freudian" without any further content about it.

In fact, the template seems design primarily for pseudoscientific inventions (that no one ever sees in person). But the name (IMO) suggests that it is for inventions that were indisputably created, but either its efficacy is questioned (many hoax inventions) or inventions that actually accomplish the intended goal, but there are people with moral concerns, safety concerns, etc (nuclear reactor, sex toy, peer-to-peer, selfie stick). But how would we determine to determine which inventions are controversial enough? And is it even necessary? Delete.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:30, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BLP special enforcement templates

[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. No opposition. Primefac (talk) 03:40, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An Arbitration Committee remedy allowed administrators to take broad measures to enforce the BLP policy, known as special enforcement, but was later superseded by motion providing for general discretionary sanctions instead. The current user warning templates (BLP and defamation series) are adequate to address the new discretionary sanctions remedy. As a result, the template scheme for enforcing the superseded special enforcement remedy became deprecated. These templates, some of which have already been redirected or soft redirected, can now be deleted, as a reinstatement of this remedy is unlikely and there is little historical value in retaining them. --Bsherr (talk) 04:58, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Only 43 transclusions. We have multiple beverage infoboxes. Why not one of those?  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  07:06, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
