Template:Production I.G (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A overly large template attempting to list all 100+ works developed by this company, which is still very active. Far to big and useless for navigational purposes. Studios do not need templates like this for this very reason. Has a category which is far more useful for this purpose. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 15:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - the template will always be little more than a block of links, due to the sheer amount of work Production I.G has done. This is not what navboxes are meant to look like, and it doesn't help anyone with interarticle navigation as-is. One last point; the template currently adds Category:Production I.G to all articles that transclude it; this category needs to be moved to individual articles as appropriate (and if the template is kept, the category needs to be disabled from being auto-added). 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like most already had the individual cats, but I've run through and fixed the rest and removed the auto cat from the template. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• So do we have a list version, or are we going to rely on the (frankly clumsy and hard to maintain) category alone? —Quasirandom (talk) 19:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was a list but its been removed. Such a list would also be unweildy and, in gneeral, goes against what is being done with (quality) studio/production articles. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I confess, I'm one of those who finds categories awkward navigation purposes, and only in part because they give no context to any given link. If we don't have a list, I'm strongly inclined to suggest we keep this and see if we can pretty it up a bit (autohiding being a start). —Quasirandom (talk) 02:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I should start out by saying that my opinion is likely subject to my personal bias in this discussion, as a) I created the template and - perhaps more importantly - b) I have a general preference for navigational templates over other navigational devices (such as categories or lists). In my opinion this template is superior to the category in that it can be edited from a single location (rather than having to go through every article), can be more easily divided and modified (such as by adding (animated sequence) to the Kill Bill entry) and does not require the reader to cycle back and forth though it. With the category the reader must visit the category page every time they wish to find another article on the topic, with the template - present on each page - this is not necessary. Whilst I understand the "block of links" argument I think that is form is somewhat standard where it can be useful (such as for Template:Disney theatrical animated features) and there is a well defined group of articles. In a collapsed format the template would take up very little space on the page and the category will still always be available. In order to reduce the "block of links" effect the template could be divided up into categories (OVAs, television, movies, etc.) for all but the main article. I think the distinctive - whilst varying - style and tone of the studio - along with something of a mainstream and cult following means that it likely users will want to navigate within the topic, I don't think that removing one means of doing so will help readers. The category - with all its advantages and disadvantages - will also always be available. Guest9999 (talk) 12:41, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - If this is an aesthetic/eyesore issue on a specific page or set of pages, why not simply auto-collapse the template? If I were forced to make up my mind I'd probably go with a "weak keep" since many editors prefer this method of navigating related articles. -Thibbs (talk) 18:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It's pretty handy, just auto-collapse it. On another note, I don't really see how removing a list of works from an animation studio article makes it more "quality" than a mess of short paragraphs full of bluelinks. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 02:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
