Template:Arkansas Confederate Artillery Batteries (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Should be replaced with generic succession boxes, or a navbox, at the foot of articles, where readers expect to find them; and where they are more useful. (Renominated after previous TfD failed due to lack of editors commenting). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:45, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed before. This type of succession box located where it is on the page is common to most Military Articles. Please see

1st Cavalry Regiment (United States) Cavalry Example

18th Infantry Regiment (United States) Infantry Example

15th Field Artillery Regiment (United States) Artillery Example

Since U.S. military units are numbered sequentially, this type of template makes locating the desired unit much more efficient. It should be left alone! Aleutian06 (talk) 20:11, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- If there are other instances, they should be replaced, also. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep seems well-designed to me, unless there are some plans to add the succession to the main infobox. Frietjes (talk) 18:23, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I meant keep per above comments and previous discussions. Your suggestion is valid, but this seems practical, as well, and I don't think we should have both. —PC -XT + 06:27, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sydney public transport edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. 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). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was no consensus, as the templates have changes substantially since the discussion was started. Feel free to renominate them if you feel as though they still should be merged/deleted/etc. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:57, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sydney public transport (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:List of public transport infrastructure in Sydney (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Duplicates. Firstly, both templates have very similar information. Secondly, the first template "Sydney public transport" (thereby known as template 1) is much more updated, organised and detailed than the second one "List of public transport infrastructure in Sydney" (thereby known as template 2). For example, template 2 still uses "Inner West Light Rail" or "Cityrail" wikilinks, though this can be updated accordingly, which would make it no different to template 1.

My suggestion is to merge most (if not all) of the information of template 2 into template 1, while keeping the name of template 1. Outer metropolitan information (i.e buses and trains of Blue Mountains, Newcastle, Wollongong etc.) of template 2 should be transferred to a newly created template, with names such as Template:Outer Metropolitan Sydney public transport or any other possible names. This new template will have a similar look to template 1 and will contain other appropriate information not mentioned in templates 1 and 2. Marcnut1996 (talk) 08:40, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Agree both should be consolidated into template 1, and a separate Outer Sydney, or even Regional New South Wales template for the rest of the state, created based on the same structure. Mo7838 (talk)!

merge Frietjes (talk) 18:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The templates have been merged as of the time this sentence is written. Marcnut1996 (talk) 14:11, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
