Gigantic, apparently unfinished map with no transclusions or documentation. Does not appear to be useful. Userfy if the creator wants to keep working on it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:14, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:R from category navigation

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was modify ((Category redirect)) to allow it to wrap ((R from category navigation)) and other "R" banners so that there is only one banner on the page. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:R from category navigation with Template:Category redirect.
Having two seperate banners on a category (e.g. Category:2000s establishments in Burma) seems unnecessarily duplicative. I think modifying ((category redirect)) so it can function like a mini-((rcat shell)) makes the most sense, but would not oppose something like |navigation=yes.

If all these conditions can be met, then I don't see a problem, other than the time & effort spent to implement.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  16:00, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For clarity, I would support a merge following the four points above. @Tom.Reding: I admin I am not familiar with how ((Category series navigation)) functions, so I want to make sure I understand this correctly. Is there a technical reason something like
((Category redirect|Category:Example |tags=
((R from category navigation))
))
would break ((category series navigation))? HouseBlastertalk 16:19, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@HouseBlaster: your example is not what I imagined when discussing a merger proposal. If you want to expand the functionality of ((Category redirect)), then you should do so at Template talk:Category redirect.
For the record, ((Category series navigation)) does not need ((R from category navigation)), just the categories tagged by it.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  16:37, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough assumption. I brought this here because I would also support a traditional merge, and recalled a precedent for a similar discussion at TfD. Namely, in that discussion for ((vital article)), many called for "merging" into banner shell but then made clear in their rationales they merely meant to place this template with the other WikiProject templates (link added), but there was also discussion about a traditional merge e.g. by adding a |vital= parameter.

@Plastikspork: I see a thorough discussion and clear consensus: everyone here is in agreement that ((Category redirect)) shell ((R from category navigation)) and other rcat templates.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  16:30, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tom.Reding, could you please restate your opinion above? What you have written doesn't seem like a complete sentence. In other words, everyone here is in agreement that ((Category redirect)) shell ((R from category navigation)) and other rcat templates should what? Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:08, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Plastikspork: ah, I used "shell" as a verb, aka "wrap".   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  15:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:User line, Template:Userboxbreak and Template:Userboxgroup with Template:Ubx-section.
Template:Ubx-section merges Template:User line, Template:Userboxbreak and Template:Userboxgroup, with some upgrades. In absence of given parameters, this template renders a simple Template:User line; otherwise it works as a more versatile and customizable version of Template:Userboxgroup. The optional sub-parameters |Background=, |Color= and |Main=Y allow new additional layouts. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 10:31, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not as currently implemented The "replacement" has rendering significantly different from Template:Userboxbreak, and creates different document structure too. Anomie 12:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Anomie: Yeah, the new template is mostly based on Template:Userboxgroup and Template:User line, but the latter and Template:Userboxbreak are not very different, that's why I included it too. Template:Userboxbreak is slightly more spaced, but not relevantly. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 13:02, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created three years ago but never transcluded into the film articles (except for one), but these are probably unnecessary in the first place as the lists in these cases serve their purpose on their own. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So both of these should exist? What about every other AFI list? Why not those? The Sight and Sound one, too? And each time they do one of these polls? Where does it stop? This just leads to template clutter with links to the many of the films in each one. The lists are much more conducive and sufficient for things like this. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:10, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Sight and Sound navbox for sure, it was deleted with very little discussion and nobody notified the Film Wikiproject. That was an interesting and informative navbox which quickly illustrated the top-ten results of the once-every-ten-year poll which was often considered the definitive poll of the best films ever made. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
? That 12-year old discussion has nothing to do with this one, the first navbox being nominated here was not involved in that discussion, and the reasonings of the discussion focused on odd concerns such as mentioned above and not taking into account the massive voting by film experts (1,500 people in the industry and critics).

I am looking to generate a discussion around deleting this template and network of related articles. I believe they don't meet Wikipedia rules nowadays. बिनोद थारू (talk) 04:07, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While the template could be renamed, I fail to see how this navbox violates any rule. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:20, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this whole set of articles, along with this template violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY (a Wikipedia policy):
Simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit. Listings such as the white or yellow pages should not be replicated. See WP:LISTCRITERIA for more information.
Take a random article from it, say Cloatley Manor Farm Meadows. Its only content is:
Cloatley Manor Farm Meadows (grid reference ST981910) is a 12.1 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Wiltshire, notified in 1997. The site is managed as a nature reserve by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust.
You could argue that this information belongs in an encyclopedic list, but why justify having each one as a standalone article (and the template that links them)? बिनोद थारू (talk) 21:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then propose a merge to a list, see where that gets you first. If the list is deemed preferable to individual articles, then this can be deleted. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:49, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, as that discussion would have the same objective this one. बिनोद थारू (talk) 04:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
