Template:Latest stable software release/BiglyBT

A software release template belonging to a deleted article. Non-used template The Banner talk 21:15, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have a draft in my sandbox that I'm updating (User:TuxPaper/sandbox/BiglyBT). It has an Software Infobox which I wish to setup with external release data. I followed Template:Infobox_software#Moving_release_data_outside_the_article but that obviously makes a non-draft template, which as you point out, ends up being listed as non-used. Is there documentation on a way to make a draft version that will display correctly in my sandbox draft page? TuxPaper (talk) 23:03, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As long as there is no community approved article about BiglyBT, the template will be unused. And with your declared COI it is a very bad idea that you work on an article about Bigly. The Banner talk 23:17, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ignoring COI for the moment, how have previous draft articles setup their templates so that everything would be ready for a review, without running into the "non-used template" issue? If one of the points of a draft is to have it as complete and professional as possible for a reviewer to judge its validity, how have draft creators managed templates like this in the past? (This isn't a rhetorical question, but a genuine one). I don't disagree with your assessment, but I am seeking documentation or direction on this issue in general. TuxPaper (talk) 23:27, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked a few cases and in all cases the article was older then the template. The Banner talk 08:26, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
One of the reasons this stupid setup fails. It's just a simple line of text, just put it in the infobox like every other piece of text. --Gonnym (talk) 08:29, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Palestine municipality

Replace and delete

Municipality-specific wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions, on pretty stable sets of articles. Subst:itution will reduce the maintenance overhead, reduce the cognitive burden for editors, and enable articles to benefit more immediately from improvements to the current parent template.

Note: Despite being named "Infobox settlement" the template is not only used for settlements. Per its documentation, Infobox settlement is "used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country".

Wikipedia:List_of_infoboxes/Geography_and_place#Place:

  1. The only Arab-country having a specific place infobox
  2. The only non-UN-member having a specific place infobox

{{main other|{{#invoke:Settlement short description|main|{{{settlement_type|{{{type|}}}}}}|{{{short_description|}}}|{{{subdivision_name|}}}|{{{subdivision_name1|}}}|{{{subdivision_name2|}}}}}|}}
Are you aware of any other set of administrative territorial entities that has specific code to generate a short description. In {{Infobox Palestine municipality}} which will be displayed, the selfmade or the one from {{Infobox settlement}}? 77.183.46.198 (talk) 23:44, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am not aware of any other specific infoboxes that specifically automatically generate short description code. It would be possible (I think) to implement this with {{Infobox settlement}} by setting the governate value to the subdivision_name parameter and type to the type parameter. However I am still undecided. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 09:44, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Solved. Code has been changed to use the short description code in {{Infobox settlement}}. TerraCyprus (talk) 12:00, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Useddenim (talk) 15:57, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom pretty much. The nominator replaced the call to this template to {{rint}} last year on Template:Pacific Electric, which I agree with, as it's better to standardise this kind of template to help with maintainability. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 20:11, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I created this page and its function has now been replaced by more standardized processes. It's not being used and should never be needed again. Lexlex (talk) 07:45, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Substitution of Template:BOTREQ

This section is transcluded from Template talk:BOTREQ. (edit | history)

Canned-response templates are generally substituted, with the exception of templates for venues that don't have a permanent archive (RfPP, AIV). WP:BOTREQ is archived, so its template should be substituted for consistency reasons. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:37, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Make subst-only per nom --DannyS712 (talk) 03:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've advertised this at Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard and Wikipedia talk:Bot requests. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
<moved from TfD> {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 00:42, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a specific problem that would be fixed by making this subst only? It seems like a net-negative IMO. Legoktm (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seems in line with all the other reply and message templates to keep archive history consistent. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 20:58, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - No doubt this template is only going to grow as he releases more singles and some songs from his EP may also chart. Certain people *cough* need to find more constructive work on WP instead of always trying to get rid of templates.—NØ 09:57, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:CRYSTAL. If and when more there are more notable releases, then a navbox can be recreated. Until then, this navbox serves no purpose. Some people should find more constructive things to do than create useless navboxes. --woodensuperman 10:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
