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

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

Propose merging Template:Infobox university with Template:Infobox institute.
Although not all educational institutes are universities, these two infobox templates share a lot of fields in common. I prepared a merged version at Template:Infobox institute/sandbox and some test cases can be found in Template:Infobox institute/testcases. Quest for Truth (talk) 21:48, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, infobox 'institute' is used for many sorts of institutes (not all educational), inc. partisan policy institutes, random not-profits, royal societies, even political organisations, etc. Maybe they could have a common core, but the two are very different types of organisations, and Special:WhatLinksHere data should be kept distinct, at least until infobox 'institute' is only used for educational institutes. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 03:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, I regularly use the institute infobox for nonprofit organizations that are not universities or academic in nature (i.e. think tanks). There are many such articles, and I don't see why it's necessary to merge the two infoboxes at this time. Safehaven86 (talk) 04:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment not all institutes are educational, I would say most are not. Research institutes, medical care institutes, etc. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 07:23, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment there's a separate ((infobox school)) so why is this going to institute? Universities are schools. -- 70.50.148.248 (talk) 05:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Question What happens to all of the pages using one of those two infoboxes if the merge is made? If they would have to be manually changed, I'd be strongly opposed to a merge. As things are, I don't really see any reason to merge them. Do you have a stronger justification for doing this? Thanks. HistoricMN44 (talk) 14:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:New Jersey Prep (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This has unclear inclusion/exclusion guidelines. The template title links to a list of 200 schools, with only a select group included in the template (and no clear reason why they're excluded, since it's listed as a template for private and prep schools and probably should match the full 190+ list). It looks like other states don't have similar templates for their private/prep schools. As it stands, NJ has the list of 190+ private schools and templates for the list of schools in each county; this one seems arbitrary and less useful.

• Keep, as the NAVBOX grows there can be one for each county. When it was created there were a limited number of articles on high schools, later a decision was made to include every high school into Wikipedia. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:02, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Right now, there is a NAVBOX for every high school in the county that specifies public and private schools in the county, and there are categories for different kinds of private schools across the state(e.g. Category:Roman Catholic secondary schools in New Jersey, Category:Preparatory schools in New Jersey). I understand its purpose when it was set up and I did start to clean it up to more accurately fit its title, but it seems like there are categories and navboxes currently set up that classify these schools better. Ethereal Static (talk) 22:20, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The appropriate step forward is to add other schools that meet the criteria and to split by county as the numbers become unwieldly. Alansohn (talk) 04:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dolby Atmos (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't think it's a good idea to have a navigation template for the sound technology used in certain films. This certainly isn't WP:DEFINING such as the film's director, for example. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:00, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per guidelines at WP:NAVBOX since the films are too "loosely related" in this scope to group together into a navigation template. The list of films at Dolby Atmos is sufficient for this context. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:19, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Logic task (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A fork of ((todo)), created back in 2005. No doubt it was needed then, but now the todo template provides all the needed functionality. Currently there are only two invocations. I think those should use ((todo)) and the logic template redirected or deleted. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 06:46, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
