Template:PD-LOC (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template has already been deprecated on the Commons. It should be either deprecated here or just deleted, since it encourages the addition of non-free works. An appropriate tag such as PD-old, etc., should be used instead of this template, since many of the works within the Library are NOT PD. Even though this template states that as a stipulation, it still encourages misuse. PD-old or PD-expired, etc., are much more appropriate. Tom (talk - email) 20:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are existing tags for all acceptable images on Wikipedia; pd-old is just an example. If there is not a proper tag for them now, then they need to be speedily deleted anyways. --Tom (talk - email) 20:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Uh, you sure about that? You sound awfully confident. Okay, so what tags would apply to the examples I gave above? —Chowbok ☠ 23:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Look Magazine photos are not usable on Wikipedia, since they cannot be used for advertising purposes.[1] The Chicago Daily News images can only be used under fair use terms. [2] These are two good examples as to why this template should be done away with. --Tom (talk - email) 12:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah, okay. I misremembered. Well, hmm. I guess you're right then. I could've sworn there were some PD collections on the LOC site that wouldn't apply under other tags, but I can't find them now. I guess we can come up with a tag if that ever does come up. —Chowbok ☠ 15:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another fork of ((Infobox Television episode)). It adds storyteller (info from the fictional work), but this information was also present in the article itself. Was only used on 1 page, and it doesn't look like AYAOTD will get a whole lot of episode articles any time soon.

Template:6teen episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Yet another fork of ((Infobox Television episode)). The usage instructions indicate the original auther didn't at all know what a template was. I went trough the articles, and found 6 uses (copy/paste's), all tables replaced with the "standard" infobox template. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 05:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template User:Blade Runner (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Note that this is actually an article, not a template (look carefully at the name). Proposed deletion contested by creator. Misnamed page; clearly unencyclopedic as it's a userbox. Identical, correctly-named version already exists at Template:User Blade Runner. A redirect would be cross-namespace and hence undesirable – Qxz 04:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Youth Empowerment (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I don't see the point of this template, except perhaps as a way to gather and advertise the personal interests of one particular Wikipedia contributor. That's not a good reason for creating a template. Its creator says there is "an obvious taxonomy of subjects," but the taxonomy isn't at all obvious unless a person shares the creator's particular personal perspectives (i.e. POV). To illustrate this, I consider several other perspectives. From the POV of a person who is 62 years old and is experiencing employment discrimination related to Ageism, the article about Ageism has nothing to do with Unschooling, Day of Silence, or most of the other articles that are now displaying in this template. From the POV of a LGBT activist interested in the Day of Silence, that event is an LGBT event, not a Youth Empowerment event, and it has nothing to do with topics like Generation gap and Company of Young Canadians. Professional educators are likely to perceive that articles such as Service-learning and Experiential learning are about educating youth, not about empowerment of youth. A former member of Students for a Democratic Society or Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee is unlikely to recall these as "Youth Empowerment" organizations. Either delete the template or convert parts of it into templates for other topics. For example, parts of the template could be converted into a template on the topic of "Youth." orlady 01:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find it easier to think about this stuff when the topic is not one that I feel strongly about. Therefore, to see what a template should be, let's look at Template:TrailSystem. I think that is a worthwhile template, as it provides a useful navigational aid between several closely tied subjects. (A reader interested in the Appalachian Trail or the Nez Perce Trail is very likely to also be interested in articles about other national trails, and thus appreciate easy access to a set of navigational links.) Note that the template also includes links to a few related articles, such as United States Forest Service, that are directly relevant to the topic (because, for example, the Forest Service manages much of the land crossed by national trails) and therefore may be of interest to "Trails" readers, but that do not display this template (because these are not articles about trails). Also note that there are many other articles that are likely to interest many of the readers of U.S. trails articles (such as Hiking, Boy Scouts of America, Equestrianism, and Potability of backcountry water)) that are not listed. The idea is to provide navigational links to articles that clearly have a close relationship, not to provide a laundry list of links to possibly related topics. --orlady 16:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The current version at least looks much better then the older one. When i have time later, i'll check it out more thorougly again. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 16:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but continue to pare down and focus; it now has better direction than the older version.? Ropcat 22:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now, if the template can be trimmed down a bit and focused onto the main point, then there's no reason for it to be deleted. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note that many of the articles that were removed from the template still display the template. (I've removed it from a few articles.) If the template survives is there a 'bot that can clean up the rest of the irrelevant links to it? --orlady 17:24, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Crusade episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Redundant with ((Infobox Television episode)). replaced all usages. Only information lost is the "year in fiction" of this infobox. But since all episodes play in the same "fictional" year, and the year is mentioned in the main Crusade article I do not consider this to be a problem. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 01:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
