Template:Algeria squad 2011 African Nations Championship (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is a VERY MINOR tournament. It's not known worldwide even continentally. This navbox should be extinct. Banhtrung1 (talk) 15:15, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

African Nations Championship has the same-level as AFC Challenge Cup. I hope to treat this like Category:AFC Challenge Cup squad navigational boxes. Sawol (talk) 11:41, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I oppose. AFC Challenge Cup is held for senior national team with notable footballers while African Nations Championship is held for A' national team, also called local national football team, for non-notable footballers who plays in domestic leagues only. AFC Challenge Cup is held for "emerging countries" while African Nations Championship is held for all nation, regardless of each nation's level, regardless of nations which football is strong or weak. I can guarantee they are not same-level. Banhtrung1 (talk) 13:53, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Minor tournament not including many of the top African nations. SFB 12:44, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Current consensus for international football navboxes is that they must be for full senior competitions, which this is, administered by a continental governing body, which this is and be continent wide, which this is. The tournament is only "minor" because it is new, that is not a criterion under current consensus. Fenix down (talk) 13:46, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - regardless of the outcomes of TfD's for youth competitions, there has in the recent months been several discussions about navboxes for minor tournaments like this, which has been closed with a consensus to delete. It should also be noted that this isn't a full international competition, but each nation fields their "A"-team which consists of home-based players only.

Template:History of Iranian dynasties (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Recently created sidebar navbox, not yet in use in any articles. Redundant with long-established near-identical {{History of Iran}}. The only differences are that the new template omits a few entries about ethnically non-Iranian topics such as the Proto-Elamites, but adds a handful of articles on presumed ethnically Iranian entities that are geographically elsewhere, such as Alania. These very few non-overlap articles would therefore be the only ones on which this template would be likely to be used, as the two templates are of course too large and too similar to use them together. The new template also suffers from poor definition of scope; e.g. why does it list all the modern dynasties of Shahs of Iran including the 20th-century Pahlavis, but then stops and omits all entries about post-revolutionary modern Iran? Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unnecessary duplication of the History of Iran template. Also, controversial and of dubious accuracy: dynasties such as the Afsharids and Qajars listed on this template were actually ethnically Turkic in origin.--Folantin (talk) 08:46, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they were of Turkic origin but they were Iranian dynasties, take a look on this about the Afsharids: http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/afsharids-dynasty And i haven't putted the template on anything yet.

I have removed the Pahlavi dynasty and putted written it as Pre-19th century, so i see no reason to delete it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:56, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian peoples specifically refers to peoples who speak Iranian languages rather than people who live in the state of Iran. This template is confusing, the History of Iran template isn't. --Folantin (talk) 11:04, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it would sound better and less confusing if i changed it to Iranian dynasties? --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Folantin is taking a wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia in August, so i guess i just have to wait for someone else to answer me. --HistoryofIran (talk) 09:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why would "Iranian dynasties" be an improvement? The ambiguity still exists: are they "dynasties of the state(s) of Iran" or "ethnically Iranian dynasties"? Again, why is this necessary when we already have the much clearer "History of Iran" template? --Folantin (talk) 10:38, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Iranian dynasties" means Iranian states, they don't have exactly to be of Iranian origin, like the Afsharids and Qajars for example, they are Iranian dynasties but of Turkic origin.

I think this template is useful because it shows other Iranian dynasties that was not in Iran. --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:06, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"I think this template is useful because it shows other Iranian dynasties that was not in Iran". How is this compatible with what you've just said ("'Iranian dynasties' means Iranian states")? --Folantin (talk) 12:24, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What i am trying to say is that this template is meant to show Iranian dynasties, and two of those Iranian dynasties are of Turkic origin but they represented an Iranian dynasty/state/whatever. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:07, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since no is answering me i guess we are done with this, i have explained with good reasons why this should not be removed. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox rail (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to the more richly-featured {{Infobox rail line}}, with which it appears to be used interchangeably. Some articles even use both. Note the presence of |predecessor_line= and |successor_line= in the nominated template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:27, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note The only parameters in {{Infobox rail}} which are not in {{Infobox rail line}} are:

  • the logo parameters
  • system_map
  • marks
  • predecessor_line
  • successor_line
  • hq_city

Other than the undocumented "marks" (what is that for?), it's not clear why any of these would not be useful, or would overcomplicate, the later template; much less how they justify the existence of a separate template. Also, the rail template has only |length=, while rail line has separate parameters for track and line lengths, in both imperial and metric units. Finally, the line template wrapper {{Infobox SG rail}} is unnecessary, and should be replaced by a |standard_guage=y switch in the merged template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:19, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • While generally sympathetic to the goal of merging redundant rail templates, I do think there's a compelling argument that a railway company and the railway line that it serves are semantically different enough to warrant different templates. One has to look a couple of steps ahead to see exactly why that's relevant: eventually, the mergist position would hopefully be that a railway company is a specialised form of company, and so could be represented by a subclassed {{infobox company}}, whereas a line is a piece of infrastructure and, although our infrastructure templates are hilariously eclectic at the moment could hopefully eventually be unified into something that railways could be subclassed to. That these are misused at present would seem to be a documentation problem. It's not too late to sort that problem out, and one step forward would be (as suggested above) to merge {{infobox rail}} to {{infobox rail company}} (protests regarding seemingly unnecessary national distinctions notwithstanding). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • We have some articles about railway companies, which operate many lines. We have some articles about individual railway lines, which may be owned or used, over their lifetime, by more than one company. But we also have many articles which conflate the line and the company that owns or owned it. A single combined box addresses all three of these cases. Two distinct boxes, only two of them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:48, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The |marks= parameter is for the reporting mark. If you fill in that parameter - as was done at Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway - the label gets a suitable wikilink. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:36, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose merge - They all have different uses. Perhaps introducing clearer documentation, as per Patrickov's suggestion would be a good idea. Jr8825 • Talk 08:32, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose merge The two templates have different purposes. If one is mistakenly used as the other in some articles, that is an editing error that can easily be corrected by the Wikipedia community. In any case, such an error (where it may exist) has no negative effects on our readers, and our readers are the people we serve. Let's find another more important cause to expend our energies on.

  • Oppose merge. The issue the nom states, repeatedly, is better be solved by disentangling these confused infoboxes. That is: check and change the infobox into the missing parameters. Really, since they do not mean the same, they not are the same. -DePiep (talk) 23:44, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Rail lines and rail companies are two different things, if this template is going to be merged many of Rail Line's parameters are not going to be applicable to rail companies, conversely, Rail Company is going to need a lot of extra parameters not found in Rail Line.Brad Shen (talk) 05:30, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I abstauin from voting because I never edit in this area. However, reading through this discussion, I wonder if it might not be helpful to rename the rail template to "railway company", so that it is more obvious to editors what the differences between the two is and that they shouldn't be used interchangeably. --Randykitty (talk) 05:59, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:The Powerpuff Girls with Template:Genndy Tartakovsky.
Genndy Tartakovsky's relationship to Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls is the same; these two series should therefore be treated the same way with respect to their navboxes. It would in no way bloat the Genndy Tartakovsky navbox to include a Powerpuff Girls section similar to the Dexter's Laboratory section. Neelix (talk) 17:50, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep separate - Genndy Tartakovsky created, wrote, directed, and executive produced Dexter's Laboratory as well as Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan, the other two big series in the Tartakovsky template. On Powerpuff Girls, his main roles were supervising producer and director, meaning that his relation to the two series was not the same. Craig McCracken would be the "Genndy" of Powerpuff Girls (for the first four seasons and the movie anyway, but Genndy also left Dexter after season 2). I'd suggest doing away with the PPG template and making a Template:Craig McCracken similar to Template:Genndy Tartakovsky. Paper Luigi T • C 21:17, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I know that The Powerpuff Girls is a television series and not a film, but, normally, films are linked in navboxes by director, and Tartakovsky is the first director listed for The Powerpuff Girls. Is there a different convention for television series? Neelix (talk) 16:34, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Tartakovsky's appearance at the top of the directors list was an error. I rearranged the names to reflect importance; Tartakovsky, having directed 22 episodes, is now fifth on the list. At the top is Craig McCracken, who directed 52 of them. Paper Luigi T • C 04:54, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Categories link to categories. This links to a help page. Why is it not placed in the language article? — Lfdder (talk) 14:18, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because that help page sort-of belongs to that category. I said "sort-of", because it's not in article namespace, but it is certainly one of important Wikipedia resources devoted to that language, and deserves some kind of link. Now, we can discuss if the current {{for}} wording is appropriate -- probably not, but that's the debate for the talk page, not for Tfd. I would deem its inclusion in the article too intrusive, and a "hatnote-cruft"; but on the category page, its prominence is about right. No such user (talk) 14:37, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:IPA diacritic description (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Little used wrapper for {{unichar}}. Suggest deleting. — Lfdder (talk) 11:32, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Template author here. Um, have you guys checked the actual template code? It isn't mere "{{unichar}} and straigt <ref></ref> link", as there is a plenty of subtle formatting (thinsp, size adjustment, ref placement), introduced because those diacritics are barely discernible at normal size. Other people made numerous tweaks to the template since I made it. I'm all for standardization, but I wouldn't have created it if it were just a simple wrapper; it does a lot of work behind the scenes. The ref is there, obviously, because it conveniently links to a table of IPA in Unicode. Templates are used because of editors' convenience and standardization of appearance, aren't they? Well, this one is a textbook example of that. No such user (talk) 06:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
re because those diacritics are barely discernible at normal size: that is basic formatting, no special need for "IPA diacritics". In other words: that is valid for every diacritic. (I can add: {{unichar}} already enlarges the graph into 120%) In general: if {{IPA diacritic description}} is that specific in details, please promote it to the main template. And this remains: it has a single fixed ref. (me the creator of {{unichar}}) -DePiep (talk) 21:17, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I took a closer look at an actual transclusion, I see what you mean. Unichar|size=200% produces quite nice and readable formatting, so most of my concerns are invalid; the ⟨ &#x{{{1}}}; ⟩ stuff that precedes unichar is largely redundant. Fixed ref is kind of convenient for lazy typists, but it's inflexible and could harm articles with e.g. Harvard ref style. So, in order to practice what I preach (getting rid of largely redundant templates), I change my !vote to subst and delete. No such user (talk) 08:43, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template is completely redundant. We have a whole tree of categories for nursing journals that is much more detailed than this template (which includes some -possibly non-notable- redlinked journals. Several nursing journals are not in this template, but no selection criteria are given. (And I note that adding them all would make this template even larger than it already is). The template also mixes up medical journals with professional magazines, which in the category tree are carefully kept separated. Finally, we also have a List of nursing journals.
