We don't put cedit notices in articles, much less such convoluted and overbearing ones as this, hence Delete. Circeus 00:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Note to closing admin: please update {{GFDL-AeralPhoto-MlitJp}}, which instructs users to use the inline notice in articles.[reply]

Unused old-style image license tag, replaced by {{Non-free software screenshot|Screenshots of BeOS software}}. Should be deleted just like {{Windows-software-screenshot}} and {{Mac-software-screenshot}}. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 20:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per the logic used in the nomination below this one. Gracenotes^T § 03:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete. Uses converted as below and the upload form has already been changed. matt br 10:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a template much like {{Windows-software-screenshot}} and {{Mac-software-screenshot}}, both of which have been deleted. This template is for non-free Linux software screenshots, but is often misused for GPL ones which should be tagged with {{GPL}} instead. Take a look at Category:Screenshots of Linux software to see all the improperly tagged images. The presence on this template of Tux, a mascot of free software, does not help. I propose that this template be deleted and {{Non-free software screenshot|Screenshots of Linux software}} be used instead, just like the other non-free software screenshot templates. We will of course also have to modify the image upload page to add an option for GPL screenshots. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:55, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Remember the dot's got the right idea here. Consistency in template use is really important, and the Tux logo really isn't appropriate for screenshots of non-free Linux software. -/- Warren 02:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom, this should not be used. - cohesion 23:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant to Template:OLTL. — Otto4711 22:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This template is used exclusively as a navigation tool among the "storylines by era" articles, where using the full Template:OLTL (which includes current cast and crew) is inappropriate. TAnthony 03:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing inappropraite about using the full template on the storyline articles. Otto4711 04:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To me, it's weird to be reading One Life to Live storylines (1968-1979) and having a template with 28 current characters, of whom only four or so are mentioned in the article. TAnthony 04:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to be frank, that's on you. There is no orgazinational reason for maintaining two separate templates to accomplish the same navigational purpose. Otto4711 04:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep, but consider dropping the ridiculous use of a full-width collapsible navbox. Template:OLTL could probably use a split in 3 anyway. Smaller, better focused templates are more efficient for navigational purposes. Circeus 01:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was userfy pending possible expansion of redirects. Some cosmetic changes might not hurt either. IronGargoyle 22:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could be useful... If more than 2 links were not redirects. — Circeus 23:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we could userfy it, until those other articles are expanded? Right now it's pointless, but if those redirects become daughter-pages, it could be useful. --Haemo 00:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The template has IMHO been poorly designed to begin with. I was going tore-design entirely before I noticed the redirects issue. Circeus 00:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I am the bad designer of the template. For background, the titles referred to a series af articles that were created by User:Deb with a lot of 19th century text. In my view there was loads of useful historical info in these articles and I spent some effort in cleanup and created the template. However, it is not an area I know anything about and I don't have any resources to hand. Lots more work was needed. Sadly User:Robth felt that the work needed to cleanup was a barrier to progress (see Talk:History of anatomy in the 17th and 18th centuries#Redirection) and, after properly raising the question on the talk page, turned the articles into redirects, effectively "blanking" the content. My attentions have been elsewhere but I still believe the original stuff is worthy of rescue. Deleting this template will be another step in burying it. Cutler 20:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As with the Day of Defeat and Team Fortress series templates, this is not needed, as it has been in essence merged with this template. 69.182.52.67 05:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Template creator supports a move to their userspace; no further discussion needed.. Mike Peel 18:45, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only used in EFD subpages. I suggest moving it to R's userspace and deleting the cross-namespace redirects. –Animum 01:21, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

D or move - I agree with Animum here. I think all of the "User:R/EFD-cruft" that isn't yet in userspace should be moved speeeeeeeedily. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 02:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Move to userspace-Maybe with my knowledge this time. Half of the EFD templates were created in my userspace and I didn't even know. You know, Animum, you could've just asked me. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 02:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy move to R's userspace. If R agrees that it's okay to move the template into the userspace, then its fine with me. TfD really isn't necessary here; a move (not a delete) seems to be in favor for the nominator. A bit of discussion with R would have sped up the process here, I think.
