Template:Warn (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I propose substitute, then redirect. Template is redundant to Template:Uw-vandalism1. The documentation is outdated and doesn't use a subpage, the template isn't integrated into any warning scheme, isn't documented at WP:UTM, and, unlike the new UW templates, doesn't benefit from bot replacement of transclusions with substitutions. The argument at the first nomination was that it's part of the archaic "TestTemplates" scheme, and an ancient poll indicated these should be kept. This template, howevere, bears none of the marks of the typical TestTempales. It's not numbered, it's doesn't have the uniform documentation (except the documentation template, which you can see provides incorrect information about the use of this particular template), and it lacks a descriptive title. Regardless, because the TestTemplates scheme has not been well preserved, it's really impossible to tell now what's a TestTemplate, and what's simply an old user warning template, which has led to the bizarre practice of deleting nearly all redundant templates listed at TfD except old user warning templates (and, mind you, we delete redundant new user warning templates just fine). The "consensus" to keep TestTemplates is now over three years old, anyway. So, without taking on the larger issue of the TestTemplates now, what say us on this particular template?

  • Comment I think it should be integrated with the current system as a "level 0" template, and rewritten. As it appears that {{test}} is a "level 0" template with modern documentation. A friendly message with no warning level. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Those who wish to use {{uw-jargon}} are free to do so; some of us find names like {{warn}} easier to remember, others find this wording preferable. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:04, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I said, the name would be preserved as a redirect. If there is something preferable about this wording, it would be better if we could have a discussion to integrate it into the uw template. --Bsherr (talk) 17:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Where is it written that you and I have to use the same wording to every vandal? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:22, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • I didn't say it was. But if you have two templates that do the same thing, it's very likely that they can be combined to produce one template that does that thing better. Multiple templates for a single purpose defers or prevents the conversation to determine the best practice. I've identified above the weaknesses of this template compared to the UW template. Could you tell me what attributes of this template are superior to the UW template? --Bsherr (talk) 13:18, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
