There are SO MANY templates for use with birth/death dates. I would argue this one should be done away with and replaced with {{death date and age}}, {{birth date and age}} or one of the others as is necessary. No need for such a complex template when the others are far better and more well maintained. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 08:39, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a need for this template as it just displays the Maldivian language text in a different font. Templates such as Lang and Langx already do that and are more widely used. No live pages also currently use this template. UnilandofmaTalk 18:14, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Currie Cup pages are being merged into the main articles, so having two squad templates are no longer required. Templates being merged into the other main squad templates. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 11:04, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To anyone who might be confused by this nomination as I was. Template:Blue Bulls squad is nominated for deletion because the information was merged to Template:Bulls squad with this edit. Gonnym (talk) 12:16, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

en.wiki does not use first line indent so this template doesn't have usage here. Even if we did use this style, we'd probably not use a template to hide the text for accessibility issues. Gonnym (talk) 12:38, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As you and the template documentation note, first line indents aren't used here. The main reason for me adding it was to provide the template for others who may wish to use (say, on a wiki, or user page) a fairly conventional print style. I would only push for it to be kept as there are some who do look for this exact template: {{Hanging indent}} exists and this simply compliments it.
Interesting note about text scanning for accessibility. I am guessing that substituting the template would help? — aoyma3 (talk) 13:09, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've looked at {{Hanging indent}} and it seems that most (could be all) of its usages, are from Template:USCongRep-row. Gonnym (talk) 14:07, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:The Da Vinci Code with Template:Dan Brown.
No reason not to merge these, there is substantial duplication here. Only the "Deriviative media" section and two other links are not included at the propsed target. --woodensuperman 09:44, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Different proposal. Rename Template:The Da Vinci Code to either "Robert Langdon (novel series)" or "Robert Langdon (franchise)" (based on Robert Langdon (novel series) / Robert Langdon (franchise)). Make sure navbox includes all links from those pages. Keep only works that Dan Brown wrote in Template:Dan Brown and remove all the rest. The topic and the author while sharing a lot of links, are not the same. Gonnym (talk) 12:08, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I had a similar thought to that firstly, but then you'd end up with only two articles (novels) in {{Dan Brown}} that weren't in {{Robert Langdon}}, so you'd be seeing a similar level of substantial crossover. --woodensuperman 13:35, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Also, I'm not convinced we need three Robert Langdon articles, but this isn't the right forum for that discussion) --woodensuperman 13:43, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but most of the adaptions have nothing to do with Ban Brown directly so those are much less fitting there. The Da Vinci Code (video game) and The Da Vinci Code (soundtrack) for example. So the overlap is just a subset of the topics. Gonnym (talk) 14:31, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think if there were fewer Robert Langdon articles, this would be simpler! But as a second choice happier to go along with your suggestion to move to a {{Robert Langdon}} navbox than what we have now. It's strange not having all of the sequels to The Da Vinci Code in {{The Da Vinci Code}} at present. --woodensuperman 15:11, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Woodensuperman: I looked for analogous templates. {{Rick Riordan}} didn't fit. So what about {{Jack Reacher}}? Or {{Harry Potter}} and {{J. K. Rowling}}? How about the examples below? Οἶδα (talk) 21:18, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Follow-up to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 September 6#Template:History of Tatarstan. This template violates WP:SIDEBAR #1, #2, #3; WP:NAV-WITHIN; WP:NAV-RELATED #1, #2, #3, #4; WP:LINKBACK; WP:BRINT; and in some cases WP:LEADSIDEBAR. I would argue it also violates WP:OR/WP:SYNTH, and should therefore be deleted per WP:TG #8 and WP:TFD#REASONS #4. NLeeuw (talk) 20:13, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gridiron football team templates

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).
The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Infobox gridiron football team. Preference was indicated in the discussion to base the final merged template off {{Infobox NFL team}}.
Speaking personally, I suggest merging the other templates into that one and then changing the name, mainly to keep attribution a bit cleaner. Primefac (talk) 01:23, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At a recent TFD multiple gridiron football biography templates were merged to a more suitably named template ({{Infobox gridiron football biography}}). Then at another TFD a couple of team infoboxes were merged. What I am proposing is that ALL of the gridiron football team templates be merged into one, more suitably named {{Infobox gridiron football team}}. At the very least this template should be created and the others converted to WRAPPERs. Most of the above templates are forks of each other. Most of the parameters are the same so little conversion work would be required. What’s more we can unify the styling to be much better and less clunky. —Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:25, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support for all except Infobox national American football team as long as all follow the NFL format. UCO2009bluejay (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
