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

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

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

These four templates all concern the First Presidency of the LDS Church and as such they end up cross sharing the same pages. I have done similar merges in the past, but not so many at once, so I just had to make some adjustments to incorporate the proper wording. Therefore I have done the coding and you can see how they would be merged together in my userspace

User:ARTEST4ECHO/sandbox2 - Examples and future documentation

User:ARTEST4ECHO/template - Actual coding

If you note, if any of the current versions can of the templates will still be available, if desired, however, I would suspect that they wont be used much. Additionally if there are any concerns or suggestion I would be willing to implement them. --ARTEST4ECHO (^talk/_contribs) 16:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge - well done and documented merge proposal. Thanks ARTEST4ECHO! --Trödel 19:18, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. One template would be far superior to what currently exists. I'm not sure why Template:LDSfirstpresidencyCURRENT was created since it's only a presidency of 3. The draft is great—we could also divide First and Second Counselors, if desired, though that might make things more messy. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 20:16, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Good idea on dividing First and Second Counselors, and it is done. It took some work and some "choices" by me on how to list them, as a number of them had the position numerous times, but during different years and there were the "Assistant Counselors, Counselors and Third Counselors". I choose to list each time separately, like most of the other LDS Templates. However, if you (or anyone else) has a different method, I would be more then happy to address doing it that way.--ARTEST4ECHO (^talk/_contribs) 14:19, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Portal bar

Template:Portal bar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

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

Propose merging Template:Portal bar with Template:Portal.
Its function is similar to {{Portal}}. We can safely merge this into {{Portal}} by adding bar parameter. Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 14:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And maybe if portal wasn't fully protected someone would have already done it. — Lfdder (talk) 14:54, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
{{Portal}} is transcluded on about 4.8 million pages - unprotecting it would not be a very good idea. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 22:00, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
comment can we see a demonstration of the merged template in the sandbox? Frietjes (talk) 15:16, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The code for portal bar isn't that complex so it won't be that hard to incorporate if that's what we need/want to do. Kumioko (talk) 16:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support the merger per nom.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 20:34, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It would be easier to add a bar function to Module:Portal than to merge the actual templates. If we merged the templates we would need to go through and change all the {{portal bar}} invocations, but if we do the work in Module:Portal we would only have to alter Template:Portal bar itself. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 22:00, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ What is the benefit? The two templates do different things. Sure, you could add a new function to portal at the cost of making it more complex and potentially messing up 4.8 million pages if you get it wrong. But assuming it is done right, everything will look the same as it is now. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with you. They (should) do the same thing, but since {{Portal}} has been ported to Lua, {{Portal bar}} is obsolete. It only looks different. But let's take a look at Mr. Stradivarius' comment below. --Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 08:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- {{Portal bar}} not obsolete; it still works. But I have been swayed by Stradivarius' arguments. Still oppose merging but support the proposal to add a bar function to Module:Portal and then change Template:Portal bar. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I totally agree with Hawkeye7. --Niwi3 (talk) 09:01, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Now I understand the benefit of the merge, per Stradivarius' comment below. --Niwi3 (talk) 12:58, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I've just added the relevant code to Module:Portal/sandbox. See Template:Portal bar/testcases for some example output. In reply to Hawkeye7 and Niwi3, there are a few benefits to doing this, even though the output will look mostly the same. The Lua code will be faster, and adding a bar function to the module won't have any effect on the speed of the existing portal function, as it won't be accessed when {{portal}} is called. Also, {{portal}} and {{portal bar}} share the same image-getting code, so it makes sense to have them in the same module. (Although I suppose you could just as easily use Module:Portal's image-getting code from another module.) In addition, porting the template to Lua will remove the 18-portal limit, and will prevent the template from showing an empty white box if no portals are specified. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 10:57, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - As long as the same functionality exists in the other template, as the creator of {{Portal bar}}, I'm fine with a merger. – Maky ^« talk » 14:23, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – per Hawkeye. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:10, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support merger/adding functionality (as per Mr. Stradivarius; whichever is better), with the same caveat as Maky.—DocWatson42 (talk) 05:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – per Hawkeye. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 07:58, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm having trouble understanding the opposes that have been added since my support comment. The code is written, working, and tested; porting {{portal bar}} to Lua increases its speed and removes the 18-portal limitation; and all we need to do to make the switch is to update Module:Portal and Template:Portal bar from their sandboxes. What is there not to like? — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 08:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
support, Mr. Stradivarius has already made the change and it works fine, why keep opposing? The templates don't do different things; they do the same thing, only look different. Really, the only thing that Hawkeye said that's valid is that "everything will look the same as it is now".....so what's keeping us from importing the change and closing this Tfd? — Lfdder (talk) 09:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per Mr. Stradivarius. I hope Hawkeye7 (talk · contribs) will return and reconsider his position. Mackensen (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Module:Portal doesnt use module:navbar, but template:Portal bar does. Thats mean that a merge would let module:portal use module:navbar. The consequence is that talk pages has to be updated too when changes is made to module:navbar (because talk page banners usually use module:portal). I think the job queue is broken enough - at the moment "what links here" and category populations is delayed a few weeks... Christian75 (talk) 22:20, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to hear from more experienced editors on this comment... Is it true that if a dependency of one function in Module:Portal is edited, all invocations of the module, even just to _image, must be updated? If so, what would be the advantage, if any, of splitting those functions into separate modules? -PC-XT+ 04:31, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge of templates and use of Mr. Stradivarius' code, though I'm watching this page in case future evidence is provided -PC-XT+ 04:31, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support the idea but I cannot comment on the feasibility of correct technical implementation. I do like fewer templates with more parameters, and making the bar option a parameter in the main template seems like simplification to me. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:05, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Translit

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

Text expansion (contraction). Subst all and delete. — Lfdder (talk) 14:17, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

seems like many of these should be replaced with {{transl}} instead. Frietjes (talk) 15:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See this about {{transl}}. — Lfdder (talk) 12:43, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nomination. Ultimately {{transl}} cases should remedied with the use of {{lang}}. However, this template should be substituted and an alternative to deleting would be to substitute where used and convert to a subst only template. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 10:27, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Competition

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

Not useful as a navigational template: only links three articles, which are already easily accessible from one another. Too few links to justify a navbox. Robofish (talk) 13:56, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Air India FC

Template:Air India FC (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only three links, all of which are already linked in the club article, diffcult to see how this is of any real use. Fenix down (talk) 08:46, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - there was actually four links at the time of the nomination, three articles plus the club article. I've now added a link to the 2012 Durand Cup Final, which gets it up to five links and that should be enough to provide useful navigation between articles on a related subject. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:54, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - but one of them is the club article which is really the title of the navbox and the list of managers is so short as to seem an unnecessary fork. Happy to withdraw if others feel differently, was not aware of the Durand Cup. Fenix down (talk) 09:13, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Navbox being used more like infobox. Contains only five links of which two are links to sections within the main club article and one is a duplicate of the 2013 season link. Difficult to see how this is a useful navbox. Fenix down (talk) 08:43, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Navbox being used more like infobox. Contains only six links of which two are links to sections within the main club article, one is a duplicate of the 2011 season link and one a link to the general FC New York Category page which is atthe bottom of all relevant articles anyway. Difficult to see how this is a useful navbox and as the club has now been dissolved it is difficult to see how it can be expanded in any useful way in the future.

Removed one link to a non-related article. Navbox only contains four links, one of which is the club itself, one to the players category, one to an old ground and a final one to the current ground (which is alredy linked in the club article). Hard to see how this is a helpful aid to navigation. Fenix down (talk) 08:19, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
