Template:Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference baseball venue navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The MEAC no longer sponsors baseball. All former MEAC programs now play in the Northeast Conference, and those teams' venues are included in Template:Northeast Conference baseball venue navbox. Finchwidget (talk) 23:08, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Christchurch mosque shootings sidebar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused sidebar. Seems that bottom navigation template {{Christchurch mosque shootings}} is used instead. Which is also less intrusive and takes less visual space. Gonnym (talk) 11:28, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Flashman novels (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:George MacDonald Fraser (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Flashman novels with Template:George MacDonald Fraser.
Huge overlap. I think there are only 3-4 articles here that aren't at the proposed target. I don't think we need two navboxes when one will do. --wooden superman 15:04, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Mostly logical, but Tom Brown's School Days is a Flashman novel that wasn't written by Fraser. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:32, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merging. You've miscounted, there are a lot of Fraser books not in the Flashman series. Certainly more than "3-4". Having templates with some degree of overlap is pretty common here. Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Templates are tiny, both in terms of server load and in their footprint on an article. Keep them both. John (talk) 15:54, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, I haven't miscounted, the only articles at {{Flashman novels}} that are not at {{George MacDonald Fraser}} are the three Tom Brown articles (Tom Brown, Harry "Scud" East, Tom Brown's School Days) and Harry Flashman. That's four. Arguably, the Tom Brown articles don't belong in either as they are minor characters in the Flashman series, and East is unreferenced and barely even notable anyway. So basically we've got an additional navbox just to accommodate the Tom Brown crossover articles. A merge would be simple. --wooden superman 16:06, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, it would be simple to merge them. What benefit would accrue to our readers though? Still not seeing it. John (talk) 17:51, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All the links would be in the same place and we'd avoid redundancy. --wooden superman 21:29, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Mathematics Barnstar/sandbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I understand that this page is a sandbox but the page creator just pasted in a copy of their draft found at Draft:Riemann hypothesis information. This seems like an effort to give their hypothesis more visibility and doesn't have much to do with this Barnstar. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:02, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: These individual AFL team link templates are no longer needed, since {{AFL}} was repurposed to provide links to any team in the league. Some folks from the project are sensitive about outsiders messing with "their" templates, though. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:42, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can we be sensitive about unnecessary snarkiness too?

These don't seem to be valid parameters in {{AFL}}, so unless they are added, it's an irrelevant point. Them being "unused" is also irrelevant, as they are often used subst, as shortcuts. The-Pope (talk) 09:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My addition of these three (and a few others) swtiches to {{Australian Football League team}} was reverted, as apparently it was agreed between 2 or 3 editors that they are too confusing to ever use. This is getting ridiculous. The-Pope (talk) 12:43, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
