The result of the discussion was merge. (non-admin closure) Alakzi (talk) 12:48, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These templates could easily be merged in a manner similar to ((Bushfires in Australia)). SounderBruce 21:45, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pros
Cons
  • Template will indefinitely grow. Even if we don't add previous years and just start with 2000, every year a new group of wildfires will be added. Flash forward to 2030 and you have 30 rows in the template. The ((Bushfires in Australia)) is a great template for Australia, but a quick scan of that navbox only shows 2 or 3 fires in the same year. ((2007 California wildfires)) has 9 fires just in one year. Along that thought process Category:Wildfires in Washington (state) has 7 fires list (the 8th page is the list page). I would def support 1 navbox for all 8 of those fires. Different situation there.
  • As hinted at above, this is going to end up being a enormous navbox! Maybe that isn't a big downside, but was one of the reasons I didn't go that route initially.
  • Each season currently has their own category and commons link. Those would likely be lost in favor of the overarching group/commons link. Again this alone is not a reason NOT to merge the templates, but at least worth mentioning.
All that being said, I too support merging them but would like to at least discuss these points. :-) --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:25, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Zackmann08: If the California template becomes too large in the future (reserving one row per year), I'd split up the templates by decade (e.g. ((2000s California wildfires))). A separate navbox for the largest/most notable fires would also be needed after some point (with links to a list of California wildfires by size). SounderBruce 00:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
NOTE: Merger is completed.... --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, but that's overly complex. A single, simple navbox would suffice (with one per decade as time progresses). The colours also have inadequate contrast to meet WP:COLOUR. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 07:26, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While I understand this template is in honor of WP:IPHUMAN, this is sort-of redundant to ((welcome-anon-constructive)) and even if it wasn't, it would still be unnecessary, because a simple thanks by clicking the "thank" button in the diff is all that's needed. TL22 (talk) 16:16, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just to be clear, this template should be substituted, not transcluded, so the vast majority of its usages will not appear on the What links here page. Also, I often place this template at the TOP, before the Welcome template I use with it, so the IP will see it first. – Painius  23:46, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English Wikipedia, and as such messages here must be written in English, no matter what (see ((uw-english))). This template violates that. It's redundant to ((Thank you)) anyways. TL22 (talk) 15:56, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
