Template:WNBA Attendance (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A template featuring WNBA attendance numbers. It's not a navbox, a boilerplate template or any other category. These numbers belong on the WNBA page and perhaps noted individually on each team page and/or each season page. There's no need for a template. --Jtalledo (talk) 12:20, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Fico Ministry (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template says it all: "No longer valid, new Prime Minister has been sworn in!" There is nowhere for this historical information to go. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:30, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected it to the article Fico Cabinet.--Avala (talk) 23:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Templates should not be redirected to article space. If someone writes {{Fico Ministry}} in a page, they will end up with the whole article on the Fico Cabinet in their page. I have undone this action. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:54, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. What do you mean there's 'nowhere for this historical information to go'? Fico Cabinet is the obvious place to put it. As, indeed, I just did. Bastin 11:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
  • History merge with Fico Cabinet, and delete the template. A slightly bizarre request for a TfD, but this seems to be what is in order. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:02, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • They obviously serve different functions. See, for example {{GW Bush cabinet infobox}} being separate to Presidency of George W. Bush. As well as Fico Cabinet, this template would also be appropriate for the article on Robert Fico, and potentially 2008 in Slovakia (for example). Since it has more than one use, it ought to remain as a template. You haven't yet made a case for deleting it. Bastin 12:21, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
      • I am of the opinion that, because it contains information specific to the Fico Cabinet, the table should be located only in that article. The other articles (Robert Fico, etc.) can simply link to Fico Cabinet, thereby eliminating the need to include such a huge table in articles to which it is only partially relevant. Therefore, this template is no longer needed. {{GW Bush cabinet infobox}} is only transcluded in one article, and is kept in template space due to its complexity. Fico's table is not so complex, so does not need to be isolated in template space. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Indeed, something is wrong, it appears to have been created by cut-and-paste of the other template, and only changing founders. It could be potentially recreated, but not by simple cut-and-paste. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:11, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

A slightly unusual case of redundancy: the template {{DePatie-Freleng Enterprises}} contains all the same links under slightly different groupings, except Founders, who are different on that template. I am unsure of the exact link between the two companies, but there clearly is one, and perhaps this can be reconciled in the navboxes. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:20, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I think there's something wrong with one or both templates. According to the Filmation article, the two companies are competitors. 65.93.15.213 (talk) 06:48, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • It doesn't even seem to be a decline tag: it's simply asking why a user tagged a page.
