September 6

Template:GFDL-1.2

Images licensed under only GFDL 1.2 are subject to speedy deletion (though really if useful they should be moved to Commons since Commons still supports it). There is no benefit to keeping this template. B (talk) 19:21, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As noted on the template page, "this template has been deprecated from general use on the English Wikipedia. It may be used, however, for files temporarily moved from Wikimedia Commons (as with POTD or main-page images)."
    The benefit to keeping this template is that it prevents broken transclusions (and/or manual intervention by administrators, some of whom find the process daunting under the best of circumstances) when an image is temporarily uploaded here for the purpose of protection. —David Levy 20:45, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are images still uploaded locally when posted on the main page? None of the ones on the main page today are. I thought that was no longer needed because a bot put them in Commons:Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en, which gives them cascading protection. Even if they were still uploaded locally, are there any featured images that are licensed as GFDL 1.2 only? If so, they should have their featured status removed ... it seems a little odd to say "this is a featured image, but we would delete anything like it" - that's not really how featured images should work. They are our most celebrated content, not our barely tolerated content. There shouldn't be any broken because nothing should ever again use this template. --B (talk) 21:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cc-sa

Unused template for a deprecated license (cc-sa-1.0). We should either repurpose it to say something like "CC-BY-SA-4.0 or any later version" (first choice) or delete it (second choice). (I don't like the idea of simply redirecting it to {{cc-by-sa-4.0}} because 5 years from now, someone is going to get the idea that they should redirect it to {{cc-by-sa-5.0}}, which would be incorrect. We should repurpose it or delete it. B (talk) 19:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Jon Fratelli

Unnecessary. Only one solo release, the other links are bands he was in, both of which have their own navboxes. --woodensuperman 12:54, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Major League Baseball spring training navboxes

Propose merging Template:Stadiums of the Cactus League with Template:Stadiums of the Grapefruit League.
Cactus League and Grapefruit League can be merged under a new template Template:Major League Baseball spring training (see User:Jameboy/sandbox for draft proposal of new navbox). Cactus League and Grapefruit League don't currently have their own articles and both are part of the topic of Spring training. It makes more sense for the navbox to include a link to spring training (an existing article and the high-level topic that encompasses both leagues) than to the two leagues (sections within the article); if the Cactus League and Grapefruit League do eventually get their own articles, these can simply be added to the navbox. Jameboy (talk) 21:05, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm ambivalent about the merge. The stadiums of the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues are geographically separated, and I'm not sure how much navigation between them there is. On the other hand, Template:MLB Ballparks is unified. But I'm certain the name of the proposed merged navbox is wrong. These navboxes only contains articles about stadiums, so I think the name must reflect that. "Ballparks of the Cactus League and Grapefruit League" is more appropriate than "Major League Baseball spring training," particularly as the current navboxes aren't on the Spring training article. --Bsherr (talk) 16:31, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct that there are currently no other spring training articles other than the main article or the ballparks, but "MLB spring training ballparks" might be a more succinct name for the template (the template groups show which ballparks are for which league). We probably wouldn't have a "Ballparks of the National League and American League" Template. --Jameboy (talk) 23:16, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
