Template:Redlink (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

There is no policy against red links. The template itself refers to WP:CONTEXT, which is a policy against irrelevant links - regardless of their color. This template should be either deleted or renamed to something like ((Context0)) and reworded so it fits the policy. — Sebastian (talk) 23:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I apologize if it is not customary to nominate a template here unless one is uncompromisingly for deletion. If you ask me, I prefer deletion. I see no use in renaming+rewriting, since I don't use this template anyway. (When I find out-of context links I just remove them and I personally never found a need to write to whoever created them; at least not in standard cases.) But maybe others do, in which case I'm fine with renaming and rewriting.
So if I have to choose for one or the other, then deletion it is. That also would keep the discussion of how it should be renamed out of this page. We always can recreate it with different words and under a different name. — Sebastian (talk) 01:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of templates I don't use, but I don't nominate them for deletion. Nominating something for deletion is to be used in the case where something has no merit at all. It has as much merit in addressing the policy it does than any other template which addresses any other policy.--Crossmr 05:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My reason for nomination was not the fact that I don't use it. Maybe I wasn't clear enough: As it is, the name "Redlink" (along with the wording, which has been improved since) is bound to mislead people into using it against redlinks, which is not Wikipedia policy. Therefore I argue that the name and the mention of redlinks in the template has to go. — Sebastian (talk) 00:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really not sure if it's appropriate to have templates with such limited scope (only 2 or 3 pages), especially if it's only calling existing infobox templates. Also, they may make it difficult for anon editors to fix info on them because they exist in templatespace and not mainspace. Axem Titanium 22:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Illustrated Wikipedia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Idea of this seems to be to spread links to unencyclopedic images, and a link to a wikipedia user page, highly inappropriate for articles. --Martin 20:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • How many people look at the talk pages? Really, only contributors to Wikipedia, "I love you Britney" fans, and people trying to find a dispute for a news story do. -- Zanimum 15:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think formal logo usage permission has been given, however Danny, Anthere, and Angela (though she's not board anymore) have all commented on them on [1]. Also, I found out about them from Andrew Lih's blog, Andrew's pretty tight knit with the foundation. -- Zanimum 15:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reading Andrew's comments to the blog... "As for the trademark, Brad Patrick the Wikimedia Foundation legal counsel has engaged with conversations with the creator, so it appears they have worked something out. You may want to contact him directly though." -- Zanimum 15:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No more reason, please read why previous one was deleted, only World Cup and CURRENT club TP should be used. A notable players would play more than three "A" event, but no need to create tp for all, it is useless. --Matthew_hk tc 14:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan template. Removed from the only article it was in as it doesn't add much and is difficult to read. Not to mention scrolls at lower resolutions. Francis Tyers · 09:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Vulnerable (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

There's no reason to advertise the vulnerability of an article to vandalism, thereby encouraging readers to vandalize it. The rationale for the deletion of this template is discussed in general terms in WP:BEANS. Indeed, to avoid encouraging vandalism to vulnerable pages, only administrators can view Special:Unwatchedpages, a page which performs essentially the same function as Category:Wikipedia articles vulnerable to vandalism, into which this template classifies articles.

Gee... there's so many problems with this template on so many levels, but I'll focus on one: Who decides what the cutoff for "vulnerable" is? Delete. Titoxd(?!?) 04:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
