Use {{engvar}}'s autodetect. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 06:36, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- There is nothing to merge, as they are already merged - it occurred over twelve years ago: since then,
{{overcolored}}
has been a wrapper for{{overcoloured}}
with|US=y
forced, as I pointed out almost nine years ago at Template talk:Overcoloured#Redirect. Whilst it was a WP:BOLD merge by Thumperward (talk · contribs), for which I cannot find any discussion or other relevant notices at either Template talk:Overcoloured or Template talk:Overcolored, it was never reverted and has stood the test of time. There is also Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2009 September 18#Template:Overcoloured. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:01, 20 August 2024 (UTC)- The autodetect is new in 2024. By "merge", I would like to revert the wrapper into a redirect after adding {{engvar}} to {{overcoloured}}.
- Compare what I added to {{Cleanup colors}} in [1]. It almost works and is waiting on my TPER.
- I think this cleaner solution is better. I am at TfD precisely because it
has stood the test of time
. I would like to either:- Remove
|US=
(and rely on autodetect) if nobody needs it - Remove
|US=
and add|engvar=
if someone wants customization - Keep
|US=
and add|engvar=
if backwards compatibility is a concern - Keep
|US=
and not add|engvar=
(but still keep autodetect) if people feel it's too cluttered
- Remove
