July 17[edit]

Template:Proteaceae[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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).

The result of the discussion was delete. One thing is clear: this template is virtually unusable in the current state, and has to go. Whether a new genera-only template can be created later or readers should be made to rely on taxoboxes has no consensus but a new rescoped template can be created at any time.

Huge navbox that is way too large to provide any useful navigation. WP:NAVBOXCREEP and WP:NENAN. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Plants/Archive74#Oversized_navigation_template. Mbdfar (talk) 19:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - It is indeed enormous and an enormous amount of work must have gone into creating it, but as a result, an enormous amount of work would be required to keep it up to date. Similar, and more up-to-date information about the species in each genus, is available in the taxobox of each species of Proteaceae. Gderrin (talk) 23:52, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to deletion per Gderrin, I thought this was already decided by a previous discussion. I will however point out that WP:NAVBOXCREEP and WP:NENAN are essays representing the opinions of an unknown number of editors and have no standing as guidance or policy. Cheers· · · Peter Southwood (talk): 08:46, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I remember the previous discussion, but I don't think a decision was made before the discussion was archived. Damned if I can find it. I did confess to removing the navbox as I expand Grevillea articles because it (the navbox) is no longer accurate. Gderrin (talk) 10:00, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Rescope into just genera or delete?

  • Delete. Unmaintainable and serves no apparent navigational purpose. (And while WP:NAVBOX does not have the force of policy, this falls short of most of the criteria suggested therein.) Restricting it to genera as proposed above could be a cromulent solution, but still will create all manner of maintenance headaches given the current level of taxonomic churn. Taxoboxes and categories would seem to provide ample navigational aids here. -- Visviva (talk) 05:23, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think there's more general potential for the tree of life area to have navboxes that succinctly summarize a specific clade. This... this template doesn't do that. So, at a minimum, strip it down to genera. I defer to experts about the general utility for the template, but I will note that 'churn' is not really a sufficient reason to delete a navbox. Maybe if that 'churn' were clearly impossible to keep up with, but I anticipate if this template had 30 links instead of 1000 as with a listing of the genera, it wouldn't be impossible to keep up with. --Izno (talk) 06:51, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Actually, deletion and restricting to just genera aren't incompatible solutions, per WP:TNT. It's perfectly possible to delete this original template, and then create a genera-only navbox independently. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 08:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to the Sri Lanka templates that were deleted on April 12 I nominated. Don't see the need for navboxes for every certain period in Thailand's history. All of these are primarily just clutter for listing every leader and institution that relates to the specific period. But these fall under template creep when there are other templates covering the scope for all the articles under the events section in all three navboxes. Template:History of Thailand navbox can probably cover the scope. But these navbox is broader for its subject matter. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:23, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tentative keep. While I would have agreed with deletion for the aforementioned Sri Lanka templates, I don't think they are comparable because the Sri Lanka ones were based on individual years, while these are historical periods corresponding to Wikipedia's coverage of the topic. While I do think that the first two could do with some major redesign as they are currently overlinked and waste too much space, I would defend the last one, which I created, as it assists the reader in navigating between important topics within the topic. While for example the 2013–2014 Thai political crisis may already have a navbox linking to other major protests since 1973, a reader approaching the topic from an interest in contemporary Thai history would be better served by navigational aids to articles that are relevant to the period, e.g. those about the protesters ("People's Democratic Reform Committee"), the prime minister they were protesting against (Yingluck Shinawatra), the election disrupted by the protests (2014 Thai general election), and the coup and junta that followed (2014 Thai coup d'état (admittedly already included in the coups and protests navbox) and National Council for Peace and Order). These are not easily accessible via the category system, and Template:History of Thailand navbox is for navigation between the main articles in the history of Thailand series and not meant for navigation between topics within each period. Also, Template:Rattanakosin Template:Thonburi are missing from this nomination. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:21, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I get your point, but why can't the main history navbox and Template:History of Thailand sidebar be enough? At least for larger or more main history of Thailand subjects. Even if these two templates don't link to the articles one is reading, they are normally added due to their relation to the broader history-related subject. I don't see any other templates like this for say Cambodia, U.S., U.K. And there should be consistency with these types of navboxes. If the history of one country is going to be covered in this way, then the same should apply to all other nations as well. For Template:Rattanakosin and Template:Thonburi, I wasn't aware until your post. But I think they qualify for deletion for the same reason. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:21, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Used only once in one article as a note for a citation. Unclear what "not available everywhere" means, but this seems to be similar to the |url-access= parameter in the citation templates.

  • Keep This is not a template but instead shared documentation for four other templates that are currently in use. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:48, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, but move the documentation page rather than deleting it As far as I can tell, this is a useful piece of documentation combined with a useless template – the template exists only to host the documentation page and does nothing on its own. As such, the template documentation page should be moved to become a subpage of one of the templates it documents: probably to {{Chamber members box begin/doc}} (which is just a soft redirect at present). It will then be possible to change the documentation for {{Chamber members box begin}}, {{Chamber members box listing}}, {{Chamber members box listing no party link}}, and {{Chamber members box end}} to reference the new location for the centralised documentation, and delete this template (which is inappropriate for template space because it doesn't do anything and cannot possibly have any legitimate uses). --ais523 05:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
