I have created this template to organize a series of articles about Transnistria, but subsequently we managed to merge all its items in other templates :Dc76 22:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Template:Transnistria/Territory, Template:Transnistria/Conflict, Template:Transnistria/Politics, and Talk:Transnistria for details. Noone but me has ever editted these templates. I am not an admin, so I can not delete. Therefore, asking for help. :Dc76 22:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Grutness...wha? 01:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NorthAmNativeVerified (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This is a template based on the rejected WP:NATIVE policy, which says that the United States or Canadian government must recognize a Native American tribe to include them. For the many reasons outlined on the talk page of the proposal, this is a bad idea. Also see related ((NorthAmNativeUnverified)), also up for TfD. -Amarkov moo! 22:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up of templates needed

The result of the debate was keep redirected as it is. I believe all issues have been addressed. CMummert · talk 03:02, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am listing this here procedurally as I'm not sure of a better place, someone can move it somewhere more appropriate, but please notify me....

I was doing some cleanup at Special:Wantedcategories and found XXX articles pointing to Category:Articles lacking reliable references from article. Research let me to discover that ((More sources)) has been redirected ((Refimprove)). It looks like several of the articles with the tag in the format of ((more sources|article)) with or without an additional date parameter are now being categorized into this wanted category. Also articles with the tag in the format of ((more sources|section)) with or without an additional date parameter are now being categorized into Category:Articles lacking reliable references from section. It appears that additional variants may also exist. Similarly, since ((sources)) was a redirect to ((More sources)), and that became a double redirect, which now also points to ((Refimprove)), it's use is resulting in a great number of articles going directly into Category:Articles lacking reliable references rather than the monthly groupings, such as Category:Articles lacking reliable references from May 2007. I don't see any discussion regarding any of this anywhere, so I am assuming that we just have some people being bold, which is OK, as long as nothing breaks. Since these are all protected pages, I don't want to just start reverting other admins, but I would like to have a centralized discussion instead of contacting people individually. I believe that we need to do one of the following:

  1. revert these changes
  2. modify ((Refimprove)) to accomodate it
  3. have a bot do cleanup of everything

I don't very much care which solution is chosen, but I believe that the current situation will not do. --After Midnight 0001 22:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:TAMUAD (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The template is nothing but a redirect to TAMUAD, a main namespace template. Suppose the best thing would be to move the actual template to the actual template namespace and then TAMUAD should be deleted. Once this is done, I can add the template to the articles where it belongs so it actually gets use. — Joe I 21:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was close and delete. If four of the five have been de-transcluded, and the fifth is a work in progress, there is no need to keep the templates. RyanGerbil10(Don't ask 'bout Camden) 04:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information
About TFD's structure
  • If the outcome for this discussion is keep or no consensus, then all templates will continue as they were
  • If the outcome for this discussion is delete, then first all instances of the deleted templates will be replaced, and then they will be deleted.

The purpose of this discussion is to determine whether or not the templates are worth keeping in the long run—and then implementing the solution. While the consensus should be enforced as soon as possible, there is no rush.

Comment - relisted by Avraham (talk · contribs) for some reason ... ? GracenotesT § 02:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For the reason that this wasn't closed, most likely. Is the misunderstanding still persisting?
Alf: why do these two universities need tracking and not any others? If there's a strong need, maybe add parameter-dependent tracking categories to ((SharedIPEDU)). –Pomte 06:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, Pomte, this was never closed. It would be nice to get some closure (no pun intended) on this. -- Avi 12:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Greater Moncton Schools (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

There is no real point to this template (why these schools are organized in this way), as there is no organization or anything like that which includes all Francophone and Anglophone schools in the Greater Moncton area. It would be better to categorize New Brunswick schools into their appropriate districts; the templates Template:NBDistrict1Schools and Template:NBDistrict2Schools have been created by myself and could be used as an alternative, since these two districts are the ones that cover the Greater Moncton area. — Yvesnimmo 19:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Individual sexual orientation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template has many issues. The first is, it is vague. ALL people have a sexual orientation. Why is every person to ever live not included in it? The usage of the template seems to indicate it is being used to flag certain historical figures for whom it is speculated may have been gay. While such discussion, insofar as it is reported in reliable sources IS important part of wikipedia articles, the existance of this template is a problem. Why are ONLY certain historical figures listed? It seems to serve a largely inflamatory purpose, why do we need to "out" historical figures in this way??? The information should be part of articles as appropriate, but this template is too much an invitation of non-neutral and sensationalist addition to the articles in question, and needs to go.

Template:PD-ThaiGov (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Governmental documents ineligible for copyright according to the Act include ระเบียบ ข้อบังคับ ประกาศ คำสั่ง คำชี้แจง และหนังสือโต้ตอบของกระทรวง ทบวง กรม หรือหน่วยงานอื่นใดของรัฐหรือของท้องถิ่น and คำพิพากษา คำสั่ง คำวินิจฉัย และรายงานของทางราชการ (loosely, rules, protocols, announcements, orders, memorandams and rulings). These are very unlikely to contain any relevant media (as they usually consist of text) and the template is unlikely to serve its purpose as an image copyright tag. Note that there are images currently using this template which actually are copyright violations. — Paul_012 (talk) 10:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The policy underlying this template is currently being debated at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Spoiler warning. Presumably a decision to nuke this policy would have an effect on the template as well, and so may be of interest to y'all. Phil Sandifer 00:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
