Template:World of Warcraft (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Warcraft universe (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:World of Warcraft with Template:Warcraft universe.
Content merged to Template:Warcraft universe. This template should be swapped out for T:WCU or removed where T:WCU is already in place. There was a consensus on the talk page to perform these actions, but WP:LOCALCON, so I am submitting to TFD per normal process. Izno (talk) 16:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support For purposes of normal process per Izno, but work has already been done, in essence. -- ferret (talk) 18:39, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support This was the smaller & less complete of two duplicate templates I located. IamM1rv (talk) 11:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per previous consensus on these templates, they are redundant and unnecessary —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 06:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep MBDTF, Delete Late Registration Every track on MBDTF except the interlude has an article, almost all of which are about 20 Kb or more in length. A template would be useful for navigating among them. The other album, on the other hand, has far fewer articles linked, and they can likely be linked closely without a template. But if more Late Registration songs have articles of substantial length, then I'd say link them in the template and keep it.

  • delete, duplicates Template:Kanye West singles. Frietjes (talk) 13:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't seem to apply to the MBDTF template, but it might to Late Registration. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 21:54, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your logic makes no sense. You can see that it is duplicating the song names from {{Kanye West singles}} right? —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 08:37, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Some, yes, but not nearly enough for it to be legitimately considered superfluous. According to the article for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, only four singles were released from that album. Four singles from it show up on his singles template, and the other songs probably show up there but not in a way that makes it obvious to someone unfamiliar with the subject matter that they're from that album. It's disorganized and clunky. I'm saying that at the very least we should keep the MBDTF tracklisting template, and if and only if something similarly substantial can be made of the Late Registration template, then keep that one too. Otherwise, off with its head. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 19:31, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, I was not previously aware that the other songs also appear on his singles template which is patently ridiculous to me because the template is called, um, "Kanye West Singles". It's not "Kanye West Songs". Had the template not been called "Singles" I would have thought to look for them. Doesn't change my !vote in this discussion, though.
