No transclusions; redundant to {{8TeamBracket-PagePlayoff}} (without the line spaghetti). – Pbrks (t • c) 18:06, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The AFL and NBL final 8 system require the so called "line spaghetti" as teams cross halves of the draw unlike the page 8 system. These are not redundant templates. Please do not touch the NBL and AFL articles until there is a resolution. RoryK8 (talk) 21:44, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree. The text "Winner advances to Preliminary finals" is clear enough that the winning teams advance to the next round. No readers would be confused trying to figure out how Team X made it from Round 2 to Round 3. – Pbrks (t • c) 21:57, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes they would, they suddenly change halves of the draw, this is a different finals system to the one you have put on all of the AFL pages without any consultation with WP:AFL or any consideration whatsoever. RoryK8 (talk) 22:11, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It's less clear than the bracket that was used previously where it showed you which match the week two winners went to. RoryK8 (talk) 22:17, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I find the "no transclusions redundant to..." egregious behaviour from a long-time editor who went on an editing spree to then suggest there were not multiple articles using these templates before doing this tfd nomination, without proposing changes to either WP:AFL or WP:RL. Storm machine (talk) 01:38, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Seems pretty unanimous here, can Pbrks revert his edits please, I have tried to do many of them, but it has taken ages and has been extremely disruptive. RoryK8 (talk) 02:03, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now. The rectangular line spaghetti isn't perfect, but neither is the alternative. Diagonal crossovers would be the ideal solution. Even though the templates are redundant (and I agree that they are), that alone shouldn't warrant deletion; and the layout in the AFL template (preliminary finals positioned closer together than semi finals) should still be an option as a matter of style, preference or familiarity, as this is the most common layout used for it in Australia. That said, with some tweaks (options for more than one score in a box like the Page template has, and options to enter your own round names) the AFL-replay and NBL templates could ultimately be made fully redundant and deleted, but that's not yet the case. Aspirex (talk) 22:56, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The {{8TeamBracket-PagePlayoff}} does not have the same utility value that this one has across multiple Australian sports, and deleting the replay variant breaks the unique occurrence in 2010. Storm machine (talk) 23:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the {{8TeamBracket-AFL}} as it shows how the finals actually work to an outsider. It is much simpler to understand than other templates used for this context. Talsta (talk) 00:18, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – the AFL version looks much neater (even if it could be open to a couple of tweaks, which should have been discussed first), and the crossing lines for switching sides of the draw at the preliminary final stage, whether rectangular or diagonal, are far better than "Winner advances...". The nominating editor's behaviour, to remove the transclusions without any discussion and make out that there were never any at all, is disruptive, and better should be expected of a more experienced editor than most of us. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 01:59, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As per above the AFL version is clearer and more understandable. Also users' behaviour of removing all instances of a template and then claiming "no use" is below the belt. I'll also note that {{8TeamBracket-PagePlayoff}} was created less than two weeks ago (28 August) by Pbrks and this seems to be trying to push use of their template. The correct way for this whole process would be to open a discussion with the relevant projects. --SuperJew (talk) 04:20, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I withdraw my nomination - Fair enough, brackets reverted. I did not think there would be such a backlash from replacing this template. I will look into a good way to implement diagonal lines and consult the relevant WP if I indeed have a new proposal (which, in retrospect, I realize I should have done).
In regards to comments by Storm machine and SuperJew, know that these changes were in good faith, as I believed the bracket was a clear upgrade to the previous one, and I am not trying to "push" my own templates; I am trying to standardize. Cleaning out the seemingly unending duplicate brackets from Category:Tournament bracket templates has been a very long process (as you can imagine, every sport/league has had their own extremely slightly different version version of the same bracket), and I did get carried away on this one. – Pbrks (t • c) 05:25, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The AFL and NBL final 8 system, it will cause too much backlash.

  • Query, WikiCleanerMan, From Wikipedia:Templates Templates are pages that are embedded (transcluded) into other pages to allow for the repetition of information, There is no rule against having images in templates - it is quite common - so on what grounds do you claim these are not templates? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 12:59, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Just because it was created in template space, it does not mean it should be in template space. Why should these images be collected like this in a single space? Is it for navigational purposes, then if so it should be a navbox. If not for navigation, then is it to display pictures on articles related to the subject? Each image can be better displayed in a gallery section which could be a better use of space. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:08, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This a reasonable set of related topics, and the template does not impede navigation on any of its articles. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:18, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems likely that there are more than three Hindu temples in Myanmar, so has potential. Keep unless there is evidence to the contrary. Also per Thebiguglyalien. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 12:50, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Both keep votes fail to address the nomination. This isn't about the potential of the navbox, but if the navbox navigates across a minimum of articles. The rule of thumb of NENAN has been used for countless TFd nominations for navboxes. At the moment there are only three. It's still a small amount to require a navbox. There are plenty of templates in Myanmar, but the current number of articles are three. This has nothing to do with the general subject the navbox was created for. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:04, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Remove Agree with @WikiCleanerMan. The current articles can be found grouped together in the Category Hindu temples in Myanmar until more articles are written. There are definitely more Hindu temples but WP:NENAN EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 19:33, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You know NENAN like most people on here and why it's used for navbox discussions and the amount is too small for navigation. And the issue of being a part of a series is not relevant to this discussion. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:34, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't see how deletion gains anything - this is the sort of template that could well have more than just the single use.

  • Keep – A handful of users utilize it, and a fair amount of work went into it. Substituting would add a long list of wiki markup to users' pages, which would look sloppy. Every template that is not used a great deal does not need to be deleted. Wikipedia servers are not running out of space. Deletion wouldn't provide any benefit.
