Transcluding templates in unlinked articles

Hi Biohistorian15,

Thankyou for your email. I have started a discussion on the Talk page of Conservatism US as I am not unsympathetic to your suggestion, but there need to be clear guidelines. It is patently inappropriate to transclude Conservatism US in articles such as Libertarianism in the United States, which already transcludes Template:Libertarianism US and is not "part of a series on Conservatism in the US"!

I think it is important here to split out the topic of Conservatism with that of the US Republican Party. For instance, the presidential campaign of Vivek Ramaswarmy is not relevant to "Conservatism". No political philosopher is going to be writing a book about Vivek's campaign in 20 years time - it did not propose any radical new interpretation of Conservatism or have an enduring impact on the subject. The article is not about conservatism - it's about a political campaign by a conservative and is adequately covered by templates such as Template:2024 United States presidential election. Likewise, many GOP subjects are happily gathered in Template:Republican Party (United States) but do not really concern the political system or ideology of Conservatism in the manner of Adams, Eliot or Schlafly.

All the best. Hemmers (talk) 11:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you clearly care more about this than I do, haha. Seems reasonable enough. Regards, Biohistorian15 (talk) 15:48, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hemmers. I've now read your rather expansive argument one more time and you're probably right about this after all. There are other templates that are massively overused with even more problematic (e.g. at times POV) implications though; e.g. the Template:Discrimination sidebar or Template:Antisemitism sidebar. Should these be next in line? If so, might I ask which Xtool you're using to find these outliers? Biohistorian15 (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
