October 5

Template:Divbox/style/amber

No longer needed by the template. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 21:02, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Linguistic

The English Wikipedia does not need to have a module of this sort: it is written in English and there is no reason to write code that dynamically conjugates text in other languages. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 23:45, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Bku

Propose refactoring Template:Bku.
This isn't really a merge as much as it is a refactor. Every other flag template I have seen takes the nation param first and the descriptor param second. Should this template be redone so that it works as {{bku|ESP|18}} instead of the current format of {{bku|18|ESP}}? Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:00, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now with regards to this nomination, @Pelmeen10: the reason that this is an issue has to do with the way other templates interact with these. Specifically I came across the issue when using {{Medals table}}. What this template does is take two params {{{flag_template}}} & {{{event}}}. These parmas are used in conjunction with the various 3 letter nation codes to produce things like {{flagIOC2team|GRE|2004 Summer}} where flag_template = flagIOC2team and event = 2004 Summer. So far, every single flag template I have come across is setup in the format {{<template_name>|<country_code>|<optional_descriptor>}}. The only exceptions that I have found so far are {{bku}} and {{Fbwu}}. I don't doubt there are others. So what I am proposing is that we try to keep things consistent. Instead of being formatted as {{bku|<descriptor>|<country_code>}}, I propose flipping this around to be {{bku|<country_code>|<descriptor>}}. The template only has 277 transclusions at the moment and most of those are within medal tables that I will be cleaning up as part of converting them to use {{Medals table}} anyway so I would gladly take responsibility for updating every single transclusion of the template but I want to make sure that I do so after a discussion has been had.
Hopefully this explanation answers the questions you all had. If not, please let me know! --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:23, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:United Football League (2009) team

Propose merging Template:United Football League (2009) team with Template:Infobox NFL team.

@UCO2009bluejay: that is a VERY valid point... I was thinking "their both football teams..." but I agree with you. Should I close this and re-nominate or should we just change this discussion to be merging the template to {{infobox sports team}}? --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:54, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it open until consensus arrives. If it's not a clear support, then open another one under infobox sports team (which I would oppose, BTW). ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:20, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't usually discuss things on Tfds and I don't know how it works so I would suggest that if UFL should be merged it would be to the American football template. The NFL has a few different parameters. I've posted a link to this discussion on the NFL project talk page. I am unaware of their feelings on this topic, but they should be discussed.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 21:11, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@PeeJay2K3: Actually Dissident meant that helmet size is a defunct parameter.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 19:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This should be automatically handled anyway. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:10, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow I can't remember the last time I changed my own mind so many times! I support the comments above and am glad to see others pointing out issues! I think we need to identify the ultimate "parent" template and see if there are any other templates that fit with this merge. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:39, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
