- comment, the point here is probably to avoid updating the number in more than one article. could possibly be done using LST, or WikiData? Frietjes (talk) 23:40, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Using WikiData is not an option, since statements can only be retrieved on a single page per wiki.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 17:38, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It does exactly what a template is supposed to do, add data to multiple pages which can be sourced and edited in one place. 117Avenue (talk) 03:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- If there is a way to use LST or WikiData to generate the episode count, this template can go. Otherwise it should be kept as it saves the pain of updating multiple articles whenever a new episode airs. For reference, there was a previous discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 March 5#Template:The Simpsons episode count which resulted in the template being speedily kept.

- Template:Infobox classic (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
fork of ((infobox)) with no benefits and more complicated syntax, just change "Row # info" -> "data#" and "Row # title" -> "label#", and you have the same thing as ((infobox))
. but, why would use even do that when this is redundant to less generic templates like ((infobox company)). entirely pointless. 174.56.57.138 (talk) 14:06, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment you're not supposed to use it directly, it's supposed to be used to build another template, that you then use. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 22:14, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete forking a template used on over a million pages without adding any functionality is a really bad idea.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 02:10, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't think this page has any bad terms. As a matter of fact, I do no think this page should be deleted or anything. If you have further to say please, please tell. As a consequence I'm removing that notice from the page. — ITeachThem (talk) 10:53, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I restored the notice, it stays in place while the discussion is still open. you should address the reason why there is the need to fork ((infobox)). Frietjes (talk) 14:38, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusion This infobox is used for some personal use. If you think this is complicated or a copy of
((infobox))
, then you are wrong. I'm removing the notice from the template. — Armun Alam (talk) 9:25, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete A fork shouldn't be sustained over "personal" use, to quote the above. Mackensen (talk) 12:23, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I just came here for a negotiation, not to get myself into a battle. I don't know why you are so stubborn to delete this template. This is no loss if you stop this quarrel. I want to reach a better consensus for this template. My question is, why are you trying to delete it? Really guys, this isn't a joke! — ITeachThem (talk) 15:53, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the first thing you do is you stop removing the deletion notice. Second, you need to explain why Wikipedia needs a template "for personal use." You also need to stop participating in this discussion with multiple accounts, declared or otherwise. You're doing yourself absolutely no favors.

- Template:Ottoman Empire periods infobox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
I propose the deletion, without replacement, of this infobox. It appears on four pages, and on all four nothing is lost or gained by the presence of a few basic information about the periodisation of Ottoman history. eh bien mon prince (talk) 05:25, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- move to a subpage of Portal:Military history of the Ottoman Empire for the portal-space uses, and delete the rest. the linked timeline is very difficult to read, and would be better replaced by a link to Rise of the Ottoman Empire. Frietjes (talk) 18:07, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
