Redundant to the better-designed Template:Sticky header. Agreed to replacement in prior discussion at Template talk:Import style#Sticky replacement. Jroberson108 (talk) 12:56, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. While replacing transclusions, these classes need to change in the tables: table .is-sticky-head to .sticky-header-multi, and row .is-sticky to table .sticky-header. Sortable table required for .sticky-header-multi. Jroberson108 (talk) 13:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:F1 driver results legend 2 with the above.
There really isn't a reason to have 8 very similar Formula One legend templates and a consistent style should be used to denote the same thing to make it more reader friendly. Additionaly, if this does pass, the templates should be transcluded into the articles they are used on and not linked to. Templates are not articles. Gonnym (talk) 08:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all. The nominator is clearly not informed on the usage of these templates. There very much is a reason for their existence, hence why they all are in use. And that is through proper transclusion. Tvx1 08:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The legends themselves are nearly identical. Having one line missing or added to a table (the difference between 8 and 9 for exmple), does not merit having a completely different template. Gonnym (talk) 09:35, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Specifically re 8 vs 9, it would be weird to me to have a key item relevant to sprint races in a season that doesn't have any sprint races or for a driver who never competed in a sprint race in their career. If someone is only interested in F1 seasons in decades gone by and is unfamiliar with modern F1, this would in fact be downright confusing for them. Muzer (talk) 12:18, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I don't really want to get involved in why there are several templates in use, but with regard to transcluding the template in each and every article – obviously we can't have a situation where the whole key table is shown in every article. It's too big, bigger than the results table itself in most cases, and it looks terrible. That's why it was linked in the first place. Also, I see some articles have been changed already – it would've been better to have discussed that first, rather than doing some and leaving the majority. Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all. We need more than 1 template, because different results tables use different annotations for the same thing, or the same annotation for different things. For example, some tables use a superscript 'P' to indicate pole position, whereas other tables use bold text to indicate pole position. World Championship results tables use a green background to mean "other points finish", whereas non-championship results tables use a green background to mean "other top-6 finish". So if we need 4 or 5 different templates, I don't really think it matters if we have 8. I agree that ideally the templates should be transcluded instead of linked but some of the templates are quite large and some people have expressed the opinion that if transcluded directly into the article, as done here, they take up too much screen real estate. One option is to make them collapsible, as done here. There was a discussion back in 2023 about designing a smaller motorsport key template which could be transcluded without collapsing, but it fizzled out. DH85868993 (talk) 10:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all, for most of the reasons already alluded to above. It is very poor service to our readers to have one huge, sprawling template containing multiple entries that do not apply to the situation under discussion. Keep it simple for the reader wherever possible. In addition, I would also disagree with the need for transclusion, as these are reference legends that can be called if required, and if not they are hidden away and do not draw attention and clutter the page. The argument that they "are not articles" is going to need some more explanation as on its own it makes no sense. Pyrope 15:30, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep all – No compelling reason to complicate these templates. Nominator is evidently not familiar with their usage. 5225C (talk • contributions) 02:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all: Some pages still use bold and italics for pole and fastest lap, for drivers/constructors, some use superscript for sprint race results but not all drivers have these. Basically there is a reason to keep all templates! Balenda (talk) 17:20, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all per 5225C ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all: no reason to merge everything into one huge table, which only makes checking the table worse for casual Wikipedia visitors. SportscarFan2004 (talk) 12:20, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
