Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Help:How to use Cite.php references
integrated into m:Help:Footnotes, multiple pages m:H:F + H:F + H:this + W:F + Template:Ph:F addressing the same subject are bad for maintenance. Anything relevant for Cite.php on Wikipedia is also relevant for other sister projects using m:H:F -- Omniplex 18:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose deletion, per prior talk at Wikipedia talk:Footnotes#Proposed "How to use Cite.php" section for beginners. Also, as pointed out by the creator of the page, "Where my simplified writeup on how to use Cite.php was incorporated into Help:Footnotes it works very nicely. - But, where it was incorporated into m:help:footnotes it does not work because the Meta version of Cite.php still uses a vertical arrow instead of a caret ... and it uses 1.1, 1.2. 1.3, etc. instead of a, b, c, etc. for multiple use of the same references."ref. Further, the alleged complexity mentioned by Omniplex, is the creation of this editor. In other words, he can only maintain his own complexity, provided that he can claim ownership on help pages, and thus prevent that they be replaced by something simpler. The "Ph:" and "Phh:" (and other) templates system is nowhere described as law, and can easily be dispensed of to replace it by something simpler in the case of the help pages on footnotes. --Francis Schonken 19:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. A simpler guide to a narrow matter is worth having for editors interested in that one thing. LotLE×talk 19:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- If the content has, in fact, been integrated into another page, then we must keep the page's contribution history in order to remain compliant with GFDL. The easiest way to do that is to keep it as a redirect. Rossami (talk) 22:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Rossami. Keep as redirect page. --Zvika 17:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but redirect if it has been integrated.--MONGO 07:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
