Seems like a template that displayed a string of text for a long-deprecated notice board, and one transclusion. Substitute and delete. Steel1943 (talk) 20:10, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With category WP:EGGs and links to sections of the same article removed, there is nothing left to navigate. --woodensuperman 13:56, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Team Apex, an esports team, disbanded in 2016. The template has incorrect information and has not been updated since its creation. It serves no meaningful purpose as it only lists players, and because the team no longer exists, if it was updated it would be empty. CentreLeftRight 09:22, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox themed area into Template:Infobox amusement park.

Very similar templates, with the "themed area" template appearing to be a subset of the 'amusement park' template, apart from |park=, which is labelled "Location" and is analogous to |location=. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:42, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • My main concern about this merger proposal is that while, yes, an attraction is a subset of a park, an infobox will look at completely different things. Take Tomorrowland for example - it's inside of six different parks - the entire "rides" section of {{infobox amusement park}} is useless (because it is a "ride") and the majority of the main parameters would need to be duplicated to have the functionality. I'm not saying it cannot or should not be done, but when I started working on this merge yesterday I was essentially looking at just copying the "themed area" code and pasting it directly into "amusement park" with almost no changes other than numbering - in my experience that's not a good merge candidate.

  • Since when did discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Holding cell mean TfD's get reopened? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:06, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, so I've looked this over again. In "themed area" there are options for putting in which park(s) the area is located, and how many "attractions" (i.e. coasters, rides, etc) there are inside that area. In "amusement park" there are options for all the standard location/owner/opened/closed/etc, as well as how many rides (i.e. coasters, rides, etc) are in the park itself.
I suppose one could argue that the "number of rides" section could be used for both, but otherwise it's just sticking two completely different templates together. I guess I don't necessarily disagree with doing this, but when two templates have about 5 params shared between them (out of about 30 for each) it doesn't make much sense (i.e. I'm not supporting or opposing, just doing the numbers).

If you merge you better make sure every article is proper. Otherwise. no. Valoem talk contrib 03:09, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is generally how template mergers work. Primefac (talk) 15:08, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose – As mentioned in another recent TfD discussion involving templates introduced by WikiProject Amusement Parks, it would be best to begin a discussion there (or at least provide a link to one) to discuss the proposal of these mergers in more detail. I am not fundamentally opposed to the idea of reducing unnecessary duplication, but to those that are not as experienced in maintaining templates, it would be great to see examples of how a resulting merger would work with valid testing beforehand. The original editors who were heavily involved in their creation are no longer active to my knowledge. Ahecht has provided some recent assistance to the project, so I'd like hear his/her thoughts on some of this as well. --GoneIn60 (talk) 15:03, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Buenos Aires City landmarks and Template:Neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires with Template:Buenos Aires.
Main {{Buenos Aires}} navbox is very sparsely populated, and there is some duplication of the neighborhoods. All would be better off under a single navbox. --woodensuperman 12:20, 19 December 2018 (UTC) [reply]

  • Keep separate the templates proposed for merging are very big and I don't think putting them in a single super template will help assist navigation. There aren't space constraints here, and the current arrangement is fairly logical. So I think it is best to keep them separate.--Tom (LT) (talk) 00:22, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They're not big though, {{Buenos Aires}} is practically empty, and the majority of the links in {{Neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires}} are in {{Buenos Aires City landmarks}} anyway. --woodensuperman 08:57, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
