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

Template:Jerusalem large (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Jerusalem with Template:Jerusalem large.
Template:Jerusalem is old, unused and (sorry) pretty ugly. Template:Jerusalemlarge is much better and used very widely. No need for two. Oncenawhile (talk) 18:23, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest: then keep the name 'Jerusalem', no need for the '... large'. -DePiep (talk) 00:05, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would also agree with keeping the name "Jerusalem." Adding "large" to it would be peculiar. --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 07:49, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Otheruses-word (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hatnote. Replacable with {{other uses of}}. Reducing number of near-similar variants for the same situation. DePiep (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Template:Other uses. These are essentially the same template. Template:Otheruses-word is not the same as Template:Other uses of as the latter allows for replacing the default text, whereas the former does not. McLerristarr | Mclay1 05:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

re: Is why I proposed replacing, not redirect. Leading argument is the resulting text, not the technicality. Maintaining "the word" (as Redirect would do) keeps a weasel-word, i.e. a more-text-adding-nothing sentence. In general, there is no reason to keep a different phrasing for the same situation. -DePiep (talk) 11:06, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not proposing we keep the template, just redirecting it rather than deleting it. Redirecting the template to {{Other uses}} would simply remove "of the word" in the hatnote. McLerristarr | Mclay1 04:48, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

re We agree, I think my wording was too tough instead of common ground. -DePiep (talk) 12:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. But, I want to establish consensus: the templates {{Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award 1979–2000 Laureates}} and {{Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award Laureates 2001-2025}} are currently in use. I think we should replace them with this one - it's not unwieldy by any means. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:45, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
