The result of the discussion was keep. Primefac (talk) 00:33, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing merging this with ((Infobox settlement)). Taken directly from the Infobox settlement documentation: It should be used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera. Precedent also established with the merging of Infobox Belgium settlement (tfd) & Infobox Hungarian settlement (tfd). Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:05, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright issue should be discussed in Wikidata. Statistcs Austria does not publish under PD (CC0), so it might be (in my opinion it is) a problem to upload these data sets in Wikidata. --Septembermorgen (talk) 12:50, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
AT was not that much smaller, with 2,400+ transclusions. If I had had more time I would have opposed stronger against some of the incorrect arguments that were given for deletion. The infobox didn't only exist to facilitate non-English parameters (it also created consistent maps and links to higher administrative divisions, fed articles with invalid content to a maintenance category, fetched population numbers from a subtemplate), it wasn't a mess, it was easy to use and well documented. Yes, they have been converted, which makes it more tedious to revert it. Markussep Talk 19:56, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good suggestion, that should be an easy improvement. Markussep Talk 08:52, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Markussep & Darwinek let me know if that is something you would like me to tackle. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:35, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing converting all of these to use ((Infobox settlement)). Taken directly from the Infobox settlement documentation: It should be used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera (emphasis added by me). I don't see any reason why this shouldn't use the same template as everything else. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:53, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't a DELETE announcement added inside the TALK section of the proposed deleted article? • SbmeirowTalk • 17:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how useful this is to have a list of cricketers named in each ICC's team of the year in a navigation template. It's not a true squad template and isn't defining to the players listed. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A navbox that only adds clutter to articles already cluttered with navboxes, without adding any value: the articles it navigates between are a subset of the ones in Template:Pakistani cities, which is structured in the same way (by provinces) and where the capitals are already clearly set off. – Uanfala (talk) 01:10, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Note that this close goes against precedent set by at least three similar discussions. This might indicate a shift in consensus, but should not be read into too much. Primefac (talk) 21:41, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant to ((Beyoncé songs)), which provides navigation to all the songs on these albums in one template, even displaying them by album in track order. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:22, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of each is to navigate to the other songs on the albums. No need for both and there is numerous precedent to delete the track list templates over the navigational boxes. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:19, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Given that Navboxes are not viewable on mobile (which makes up over 50% of Wikipedia's traffic), I'd argue that these track listing templates still serve a purpose to many readers. BLAIXX 18:38, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
on mobile, you simply click on the album link to see the list of tracks. Frietjes (talk) 16:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The purpose is to navigate to other songs from the album which only one template does (the navbox, which is even more complete by allowing navigation to songs on other albums as well). The track listing templates aren't even included on all the song articles for the respective album, preventing navigation to and from every song on the album. The navigational box does do that. This has been the precedent that was set over 3 years ago (see WP:TfD/2015 Dec 16). StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:07, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You say that the track listing templates aren't included on every song in the album but is there any reason why they cannot be added? Just because a template isn't fully implemented, doesn't mean it's worse nor is it grounds for deletion. Regarding the 2015 discussion, I'd like to point out that consensus can change on Wikipedia, especially over a longer period of time. BLAIXX 12:05, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a discussion about whether the Novabox Template:Dinah Jane should be reverted or deleted. Feel free to place your thoughts and votes. She currently has only two singles is that enough to hold a stand alone Template? Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 10:22, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
