• Keep I have added the tree to the relevant articles. While the sources for the tree are mentioned I have not yet added the inline citations and explanatory notes yet.--Mark Miller (talk) 07:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:Infobox LDS Temple/doc

• Template:Infobox LDS Temple/doc (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Infobox church (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox LDS Temple/doc with Template:Infobox church.
This template seems to be largely similar to infobox church, with only a few unique data items. With modifications this template could be made to fit within Infobox church, which would also have the benefit of converting it to an infobox format Bluealbion (talk) 15:16, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Bluealbion did you mean to propose the merger with Template:Infobox LDS Temple and not Template:Infobox LDS Temple/doc? Terasail^[✉️] 16:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

• Procedural close; failed nomination. Barring that, Keep pending an explanation of how this new editor proposes to merge the complex LDS Temple infobox system into the relatively simple Infobox church. In general, pages and templates relating to LDS temples use a complex (and functional) system of templates that are non-trivial to mess with. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:11, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

  Also see this 2018 TfD, which closed as no consensus. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Did you mean this one?RicDod (talk) 08:32, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

• Opppose Its the uniqueness that makes it the difference, like everything else that exists. I'm sick to death this continue drive for genericisation. scope_creep^Talk 02:04, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
• Keep Whilst they seem to produce similar results, how they are used seems to be vastly different. The church infobox is manually filled in each time whilst the LDS infobox seems use automated links to other pages. Therefore, I don't think that, despite appearances, they are largely similar and merging them would be a major undertaking. I'm also not sure what the benefits would be if we only had template.

Template:Category warning

• Template:Category warning (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Should not WP: No disclaimers preclude the use of this template? Also, nearly any user category could conceivably be used for discrimination, harassment, or trolling, so the template is completely useless. Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 20:38, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• My understanding of WP:DISCLAIM is that it is only intended to apply to mainspace. It is also not exactly true that nearly any category might be used for discrimination; nobody will be attacked for being from a particular US state, what languages they know, where they went to college, their editing habits, &c. Nevertheless, I don't necessarily disagree that this template is a bit silly, since anyone transcluding these categories will know from personal experience that they might be discriminated against and, if we're being quite honest, nobody who knows enough about Wikipedia to notice and navigate categories actually cares about this stuff. I created this template because I saw its contents being used directly on a number of categories, which I thought was silly and inefficient; I am indifferent to the issue of its use overall. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 21:38, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• I'm sure you can find someone who is attacked for being from a particular state (lots of people hate California), country, where they went to college (as a UCF Knight, I'll be suspicious of any USF Bull [joking]). There really is an infinite number of categories that this template reasonably could fit in. -- Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 23:57, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not censored nor should it be. The same applies to controversial topics which is what the template is referring to. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
• Delete WP:Content disclaimer Wikipedia contains content that people may find objectionable applies to the entire site. And if users want to categorize themselves

  Users should be aware that displaying this category or any of its subcategories may make them a target

  — template:category warning

  (I assume this is restricted to user categorization, since it makes no sense for any other kind of categorization), then WP:NOTSOCIAL Wikipedia is not a social network, so stop using it as one -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:31, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• Nearly every category that has this template should be deleted as failing WP:USERCAT. That said none of the arguments for deletion are convincing; this template has nothing to do with Wikipedia being censored and all 65.92.246.142 does is restate my first sentence in more words which isn't really relevant to the whether this template should exist. Wikipedia:No disclaimers is unclear about whether it applies outside mainspace and Compassionate727 refutes the nominator's point about applying to every user category. So weak keep I guess. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:00, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
• Keep – I don't think this category warning should be deleted. I found this discussion by looking at Category:Asexual Wikipedians. I think that the warning could be useful because potentially you could have issues with someone trolling you or attacking you for who you are (especially if it's a category identifying as LGBT+). We do have a policy against personal attacks, but presumably someone whose intent is to troll wouldn't nessecarily care about that. Wikipedia doesn't exist in a vaccum, so being outed in the real world could potentially be something people could be worried about as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the warning gives people a chance to be mindful about these sorts of things. Wikipedia:No disclaimers is a content guideline and focuses more on how we don't give disclaimers in mainspace, so I don't think that this contradicts that.

Template:AI contestant

• Template:AI contestant (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This external link template no longer works as http://archive.americanidol.com/ seems to be dead. This was reported over 10 days ago at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television#A broken template with no additional comments. If this can be saved then great, if it can't the template should be removed and deleted as it doesn't help our readers to be sent to dead pages. Gonnym (talk) 10:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:34, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:Academy Award dresses

• Template:Academy Award dresses (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Red carpet fashion (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Academy Award dresses with Template:Red carpet fashion.
Academy Awards outfits are a subset of red carpet fashion, so any notable Oscars dress is, by definition, going to be on both templates, creating a significant degree of overlap. In fact, only 4 dresses on {{Red carpet fashion}} are not Oscars dresses.

If this goes through, I'm of a mind to split Red carpet fashion into two navboxes - one for dresses, and one for years in fashion. But that's a project for later. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:36, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Merge - Sounds reasonable and logical to me. Mabalu (talk) 09:28, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Merge No need for separate templates, though I also question the notability of several of these. At the least, barely-notable dresses like Navy blue Guy Laroche dress of Hilary Swank should be merged to Hilary Swank (which doesn't even link the article). Reywas92^Talk 16:54, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Some of the older/crappier articles are likely to be notable but are just under-sourced. But that's definitely something to look at. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
