Single use on 1996 Yosemite Valley landslide, it shares all parameters with Template:Infobox news event (which is used for all kinds of disasters), except for debris_weight and fall_speed, which could be added to that template, either directly or as blank fields. eh bien mon prince (talk) 10:38, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Single use on Seetal railway line, should be substituted and deleted. eh bien mon prince (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Then do it. The template can be then speedily deleted per WP:CSD#T3. As can be most of your today's nominations, actually. Keφr 10:56, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- CSD T3 takes at least a week, a TfD might actually be faster for these templates. And there is always the possibility that someone might object.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 11:38, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- So does a TfD, except in rare cases of WP:SNOW keeps. And a user can still object by removing the speedy tag, or better, by invalidating the criterion. Keφr 11:53, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

- Comment. Until May this year, the template contained just the expandable route diagram, transcluded from within an Infobox in the article. This is a fairly standard situation for railway line articles. Then, for some reason and without explanation, an editor moved the infobox into the template. So should we revert to the pre-May situation, or should we substitute the lot (including the expandable line diagram). Personally I'd vote for the latter, apart from the fact that I've tried it several times (on other articles) but never managed to get it to render the infobox correctly. If you can, great. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 11:46, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Keep. Route diagrams should be in their own templates so that it is not necessary to edit an entire article just to make a small change on the diagram. Useddenim (talk) 04:13, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Comment. I had put the infobox into this diagram because I was encountering a formatting error. This has now been fixed, and the original, correct configuration (infobox on article page, RDT transcluded into infobox) has now been restored. Useddenim (talk) 04:13, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Keep. It is perfectly normal to have the code for a RDT kept out of a railway line article and in many cases it is also used in related stations. Secondarywaltz (talk)
- Keep. Secondarywaltz is correct. There are more than 1,000 rail route diagram templates similar to this one, and they all fulfil the useful and desirable purpose Useddenim describes. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:04, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Keep The code of an RDT is kept out the article to improve readabity and to reduce the risk of the technical template code being changed at same time someone does a simple change to the article. Edgepedia (talk) 05:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Keep per Useddenim and others. I wonder WTF the nominator is thinking of and how they think this sort of deletion improves the encyclopedia? RDT templates are vicious little beasts and neither they nor inexperienced editors co-exist well within article bodies. Is "Delete all single-use templates" now a policy? Andy Dingley (talk) 14:09, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes. The Wikipedia:Template namespace guideline: "Templates should not do the work of article content in the main article namespace; instead, place the text directly into the article." The current wording of that sentence dates back to November 2007. Keφr 14:15, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

- Keep until a reasonable alternative is available. As Andy Dingley explained above, putting the wikitext into the article would be extremely unhelpful. There is no rule at Wikipedia which must be followed, and supporting the deletion of this template for the sole reason of "single use" demonstrates a lack of familiarity with WP:5P, among other things. Issues like this should always be resolved by considering what outcome would give the maximum benefit to the encyclopedia. If someone wants the RDT to be removed from train articles, that needs to be taken up elsewhere. Meanwhile, the wikitext must not be in the article. Johnuniq (talk) 06:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Used only for Bowling Revolution P-League, rather than fork Template:Infobox television it would be better to use a simple floating table to add any additional information. eh bien mon prince (talk) 10:21, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- The reason why I created this template just for this article is that, unlike other television series, this show has been moved around three times. None of the other templates allow me to show all three time slots, and the dates/episode numbers for each of them. I'm not a template expert, so unless someone can modify Template:Infobox television... BTW, this template was copied from the Japanese Wikipedia, and the Japanese version of Bowling Revolution P-League uses it. Groink (talk) 19:44, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Replace with {{Infobox television}} as for moving timeslots around, it should only display the current timeslot, so if the series is no longer aired, no timeslot should be indicated, and instead the text of the article should indicate the timeslots. Many TV shows have their timeslots changed through their airing histories, several even change networks. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 05:35, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

- Template:Script/Greek (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Purely stylistic (there isn't a modern OS without support for Greek characters) and overwrites user fonts when used inside {{lang}}. — Lfdder (talk) 10:21, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- On my browser, I found the default font used to display Greek was not very legible. For example α looks rather too much like the letter a on my browser, but α looks better. I now use {{Polytonic}} instead since that seems like a standard thing, but now that I look this seems to be zero improvement over using no template at all, at least for α. I go for the "mostpeople" solution. user fonts are kind of exotic. Can you fix it so user fonts are not ignored? My usage is completely for ancient Greek rather than modern Greek. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 14:51, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Polytonic was deprecated last year; you shouldn't be using it. Either way, polytonic transcludes {lang|grc| ... } (the template that's replaced it); {lang|grc} sets the HTML lang attribute for text you throw at it to "grc", and nothing else. This means that you can use :lang(grc) in your user style sheet to change the font for everything that's grc-tagged to one you like, with no effect for other people, like so:
:lang(grc) { font-family: "DejaVu Sans", sans-serif; }
- In general, you should not make other people's font choices for them -- that is, unless they'd otherwise not be able to view text in that script, like with Cuneiform. — Lfdder (talk) 15:14, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- I agree, but what percentage of users set a custom font? I like to make things obvious for people. They often are just skimming through things, and the Greek not looking like Latin calls attention to the shift in language. With another language based on a Latin alphabet, I would probably use italics, but Greek is so different, my preference is to shift fonts to something that makes it clear it is not Latin. This is my preference as an editor trying to communicate to others as well as I can. I agree that if you have gone to the trouble of setting a custom font, that should take precedence, but as an editor, I should be able to change the default for users who haven't gone to this trouble, who I think are most users. So I think the best solution would be to make the template so, while it changes the default, doesn't override any user preference. So put me down as Keep. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 23:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- Do you mean that you want to make it stand out? There's a difference btn that and making it "obvious". Your preference as an editor conflicts with mine as the reader. Whose should take precedence? It overrides user pref by default; my pref is the font I've set in the browser. — Lfdder (talk) 00:04, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- Bob, are you suggesting something like adding an internal span with no style, but lang=grc that can be styled by user preferences? That might be interesting... I'm on the fence, but watching for comments -PC-XT+ 09:58, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- This is the exact function of {{lang}}. Also, I don't see where Bob might have suggested that. — Lfdder (talk) 10:03, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- Exactly. This would be a wrapper for {{lang}}. The only difference would be style changes. I'm still on the fence. I took Bob to mean this when he said, for instance, "I think the best solution would be to make the template so, while it changes the default, doesn't override any user preference." -PC-XT+ 10:26, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- I don't understand what the benefit of that would be. You can just as easily place this one inside {{lang}}. Have you read my reply above? — Lfdder (talk) 10:35, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- I do not yet know if there would be a benefit, which is why I am on the fence. If this template were placed inside {{lang}}, would it not keep the user preferences you gave above from overriding its inline styling? -PC-XT+ 11:08, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- It would work with !important. However, my concern is with the true user (browser) default. — Lfdder (talk) 11:16, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

- and your reasoning for that is? — Lfdder (talk) 07:24, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Weak keep because not everyone uses a modern OS. I happen to know of people still using 15-20 year old machines to connect to the Internet and view Wikipedia. It is true that these are few, but they exist and to delete it because we think everyone should be using a modern OS/browser that supports them would be a poor reason on our parts. Technical 13 (talk) 12:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- How is this template gonna help those people? They've not got a modern OS but they're gonna have DejaVu Sans or Palatino Linotype? And what are the implications for other writing systems and also for the Universal Language Selector? — Lfdder (talk) 12:28, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

- Template:Infobox Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
The template's talk page says it was created "to provide custom image headings for a coin, Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar, whose obverse/reverse designation is ambiguous." It would be better to change Template:Infobox coin to accommodate the article's requirements, but if this is not possible it should be substituted and deleted. eh bien mon prince (talk) 10:19, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- replace with {{infobox coin}}, but add a feature to that infobox which will allow for custom Obverse and Reverse headings. Frietjes (talk) 15:06, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Merge As the author of the FA, Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar, I need the template or something that will do the same trick, as which side is obverse (heads) and which reverse (tails) is a matter of dispute. Note the discussion on article talk page. Please do not delete it without a replacement or something that does the same trick. If you go ahead and delete and no one changes infobox coin, I shall be royally pissed.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Replace and Delete clearly a single use template, and we already have {{Infobox coin}} with which this is essentially redundant. Per Frietjes, the coin infobox can be expanded. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 05:24, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Keep until aMerge has been successfully implemented.Seems to me that calling the template 'essentially useless' at this point overlooks the fact that it is 'currently' 'technically' serving a purpose. {{Infobox Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar}} presently provides functionality — which is presently missing from {{infobox coin}} — to the Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar article. Albeit in a 'kludged-together-hack-work-around' single purpose way. If someone with more skillz/experience than I would care to be proactive and 'bell-the-cat' by adding the ability to toggle and/or otherwise modify how/whether {{infobox coin}} displays "Obverse"/"Reverse" info and imagery I'd be fine with removing {{Infobox Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar}}. But not until such amerger of function has been successfully accomplished.Please, let's do this without breaking a WP:Featured Article.--Kevjonesin (talk) 23:24, 24 September 2013 (UTC)- article now updated here.

- Merge or delete per Frietjes. As someone who works with coin articles quite a bit, I don't see that this template is useful. If there are any good ideas, incorporate them into infobox coin.

Either this or Template:Infobox Equestrian Championships should be deleted, and perhaps they could both be replaced by a more generic infobox. eh bien mon prince (talk) 09:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Speedy delete Template:Infobox equestrian championship; but Speedy Keep Template:Infobox Equestrian Championships - I agree there is no need for both, and the latter is clearly better put together. I don't agree on a generic infobox; I think there is sufficient structure and similarity to equestrian competitions, whether stand alone or multievent, different from other generic sports competitions, to justify a separate infobox.
It provides a useful summary in table form of salient points that someone looking at an equestrian comp page would like to know, espially thinhs like horse and riders. As a general rule, generic sports infoboxes rarely allow for enough 'specialist' or event specific information specific to that sport, unless the sports follow a very broadly similar structure - say all the various football or rugby codes, or various martial arts codes.
I can imagine an infobox for, say, motor sport or sailing or even cycling - any events involving races for individuals and teams by means of propulsion other than simply the athlete - might contain some usefully similar functionality, but building a generic box in such a way risks losing more than you gain.
