Template:Infobox Berg1

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). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was keep Plastikspork ―Œ 05:25, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Berg1 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Non-English template. If kept, should be made a wrapper for {{Infobox mountain}}, and always 'subst:'. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:21, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep as a shimming template, but replace all instances with Infobox mountain.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 06:59, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep as a wrapper or shimming template (is there a difference?) and ensure any parameters not in {{Infobox mountain}} are added to the latter. And rename to {{Infobox Berg}} if possible. These types of template are very useful in speeding up translation and transfer of articles from German Wiki. --Bermicourt (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete non-English template with non-English parameters. Speedy Delete T3 if possible, since it duplicates an existing English language template. If translation templates are really needed (exactly how many mountain articles are being translated? Or will ever be translated?), it should be a substitution only template. This should not exist as a usable transclusion template as it is not English. If it is substituted, it should result in a normal English infobox mountain -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 00:16, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
    • Commment. You clearly haven't done your homework and checked how many pages still link to this template, but there are several hundred. And there are probably a few thousand still to be translated. As a German-to-English translator, trust me, this template and others like it are extremely useful and save translators significant time because we don't have, time and again, to change every single parameter. Sure, over time, the template can be substituted, but that can be done by anyone without any real language skills. --Bermicourt (talk) 07:40, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
      • I did not check the German Misplaced Pages to see how many mountain articles are there that are not on English Misplaced Pages, no. However this should not be used on English Misplaced Pages It is being transcluded on English Misplaced Pages articles and this should not happen. It is not using English parameters, therefore is not an English template, meaning unilingual monoglot English users cannot edit these articles. This should immediately be replaced by the English language infobox. This fails using English in a fundamental way, making our coding not English, and therefore our articles not English. As I said, if we need this it should be a substitution template that translates everything into the English infobox on substitution. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 05:27, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
        • No, I meant check the links on English, not German, Misplaced Pages. The fact it's in German is of little consequence because the template comes across complete and needs little modification. Trust me, I do this all the time. There is only an issue if someone wants to modify or add to it but, guess what? There is a socking great table in English in the Infobox documentation that explains precisely what each parameter is. Anyway, calm down, I think we're furiously agreeing that this should be a shimming or substitution template. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bermicourt (talk • contribs) 20:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
          • We're agreeing that if this is kept it should be a shimming template (substitution template). But your lodged opinion says it should also be usable as a wrapper? (Wrapper templates are not substituted); (ie. {{infobox person}} is a wrapper for {{infobox}} ) Any uses currently on English Misplaced Pages should be changed to the English-language template. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 02:07, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
            • I was referring to the proposal which says it "should be made a wrapper... and always 'subst:'". I'm assuming we mean each parameter gets substituted so the data is retained. --Bermicourt (talk) 09:18, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep as a shimming template. This is a useful template for translators. - tucoxn\ 21:13, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep as a subst-only shim/wrap/template —PC-XT+ 11:29, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Tin Pan Alley (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only 15 transclusions. 2011 fork of {{Infobox song}}/ {{Infobox single}} Redundant to them or {{infobox musical composition}}. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:13, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

I made this template because I was looking for a template which allowed publishing info to be used with audio or video recording embedded in the info box. At the time I didn't think that {{Infobox song}}/ {{Infobox single}} quite had the right criteria. Looking at it now, I think that {{infobox musical composition}} may be a better fit. If it makes Wikipedians happier to remove this, then OK. Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 00:00, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

  • @Lady Lotus: Hey, just out of curiosity. You voted keep here and delete here when that sidebar is the same as all of these. Do you only believe that sidebars with more than two links should be kept? Your rationale here doesn't really match up with the rationale there, so I'm just looking for some clarification, if you don't mind! :) Gloss • talk 19:21, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Indian state government (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only 44 transclusions. Redundant to {{Infobox legislature}}. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:36, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep:Numbers alone not adequate justification, particularly because it appears that India has twenty-eight states and seven union territories, so the majority of state governments appear to be transcluding this box. I like that it has headings customized to that nation. I compared it to infobox legislature parameters and as it is used at Montana legislature and California State Legislature. My sense is that infobox legislature, in an attempt to have a worldwide focus, is neither user friendly or easily customizable, though it can be done. The India infobox is simpler to use and appears to be transcluded to most relevant articles. I'm put in mind of {{infobox person}}, which sometimes is the best that can be used, and IS highly customizable if you know what you are doing, but I'm one of the people who finds the xyntax and markup to be a bit mind-boggling, and so is sometimes more helpful to the non-technically-inclined (such as myself) when a simpler one is used, such as {{Infobox horseracing personality}}, for example. JMO Montanabw 20:16, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
  • keep, pending a demonstration of redundancy (e.g., sample conversion, sandbox with testcases, etc.) Frietjes (talk) 21:39, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment: I made a sample conversion. In order to do this properly, we need (if we wish to include them) to add a seventh set of "leader" parameters; a parameter for the number of seats in the second chamber, and parameters for the judiciary, to the legislature template.

  • Merge to {{Infobox artist}}. I noted that articles such as Annie Leibovitz and Ansel Adams use infobox artist. This allows additional parameters unique to artistic professions and if needed, photography-specific parameters could be incorporated into that infobox. I disagree that certain details are all that helpful in article text unless it's something real unique, sometimes the infobox is the only place they need to be.

  • Merge bio and player and ASAP per Muboshgu. The merge notice is unsightly. – Connormah (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Can some administrator or someone please speedily close this and merge? I agree with the above that the template is highly ugly atop some 18,000 pages. Go Phightins! 02:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge bio and player - Keep umpire separate as per above, since some parameters don't apply to umpires, other's not to players, etc. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 21:59, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose as stands I would support a merging the MLB page into the baseball biography. Contrary to popular belief, several minor league players meet the WP:GNG (example Ollie Carnegie). Even if the parameters are the same the name of the template would be misleading. —Brian Halvorsen (talk) 04:45, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose as stands. Several countries have baseball players for which the MLB template would not be appropriate. In addition, using MLB template on non MLB players would be a misnomer as the player is not MLB player. The merging of the two would lead to a forced use of the MLB template for non-MLB players. Such use also doesn't keep a "clean" encyclopedia editing environment and has the potential of being confusing - at least to new editors. Likewise the generic baseball player template does not poosses the unique fields of the MLB template.
    Also, Oppose the proposal for any action on the umpire infobox - nominator hasn't made his case as to why it should be merge/delete; there is no rationale. Mercy11 (talk) 20:02, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
    • Merging would not lead to a "forced use of the MLB template for non-MLB players" since we'd be merging MLB into baseball, hence all baseball players would have a baseball infobox template. What fields are unique between the two? – Muboshgu (talk) 22:34, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
      • Baseball players in Japanese, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, etc etc etc, leagues are no players of U.S. MLB. The merging of the two would lead to a forced use of the MLB template for non-MLB players and only a removal of an MLB reference, field names, documentation, etc etc etc, from the product template could ever guarantee that we don't paint ourselves into a corner. What could be proposed, instead, is delete teh MLB template and add MLB-specific fields to the baseball templete, making them optional to use. As a long-time user of these templates, this is the only proposal I would support. Mercy11 (talk) 19:11, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge bio and player – as per nom and above arguments. The merge notice has been up for too long. —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:25, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge bio and player to "Infobox baseball biography" This template is for the sport in general, not just MLB so the post-merge name should reflect that. SFB 11:51, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge bio and player to "Infobox baseball biography", but Oppose merging Infobox MLB umpire into the same. Baseball bio and player have generally the same parameters, but umpire is vastly different. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 15:48, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Admin close? It's been nine days and we have a consensus here of merging the MLB player template into the baseball biography template, while keeping the umpire template untouched. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:52, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
