Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 October 22

a general Template:Campaignbox Eighty Years' War with only links to the main article; the period articles (including Origins, Aftermath, and Historiography), and the list of battles; compare the general campaignbox Template:Campaignbox Hundred Years' War;
period-specific campaignboxes: separate campaignboxes per period, with links to actual battles; compare the Template:Campaignbox Caroline War as a campaignbox specifically for the 1369–1389 period of the Hundred Years' War: Hundred Years' War, 1369–1389 (a.k.a. the Caroline War or Caroline Phase).

This sidebar is evidently overgrown; a problem which I myself substantially contributed to (7%) over the years. Splitting it after the Hundred Years' War model is in line with the policies, guidelines, conventions, precedents and suggestions I've gathered at User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Campaignboxes, more specifically the 1 war rule. The idea to split this infobox was also previously discussed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 May 28#Template:Campaignbox Spanish colonial campaigns. Technically, discussion is not necessary, as I could split this whole sidebar myself WP:BOLDly as proposed, but the sheer number of pages involved and the fact that it was discussed previously makes me think it would be courteous to talk about it before I do anything. If nobody objects, I'll proceed anyway, but if there are objections, this is the time to discuss them. NLeeuw (talk) 19:44, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Note that the nl:Tien jaren (Tachtigjarige Oorlog) article already has a period-specific sidebar (zijbalk) listing only the battles occurring in the 1588—1598 period. (The Ten Years (Eighty Years' War) was a sort of "Mauritian phase"). NLeeuw (talk) 20:16, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Kurt Waldheim sidebar

Template:Kurt Waldheim sidebar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unneeded sidebar. We don't need a sidebar for every world leader. Such a small grouping of links for the subject and for a sidebar. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:55, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Meir Kahane sidebar

Template:Meir Kahane sidebar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused and unneeded sidebar. Most of the links have very little to do with Kahane himself. The ideology section is a Synth grouping. The category for the subject is enough. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:54, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We have a navbox for Rafale Caldera at Template:Rafael Caldera. While the navbox needs work, we don't need a sidebar for every world leader. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:48, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused templates that split Template:USA Network Shows. But no discussion was held to warrant a split of the main USA network template. All created by an IP and not seeing what need there was in the first place. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete, duplicate navigation. better to use the footer navbox for navigation. navboxes, unlike sidebars, don't crowd other right floating content like images and infoboxes. Frietjes (talk) 19:17, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete well crafted. However, I also agree we already have the footer navbox. This should apply to the recently created Template:Michael Jackson sidebar IMO. Regards, Apoxyomenus (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
