Template:Infobox fictional family/colour

• Template:Infobox fictional family/colour (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused sub-template. Gonnym (talk) 22:39, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Module:Other uses2

• Module:Other uses2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Module:Other uses (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Module:Other uses2 with Module:Other uses.
If there really needs to two templates for this, then this module should be handled as another function inside Module:Other uses. Gonnym (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete Module:Other uses2 without merging; unnecessary lua module, can be implemented in Wikitext. See also Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2018 September 23#Module:Other uses2. (Trivia: I believe that this may be the first ever module merge that wasn't nominated by me). * Pppery * _{has returned} 18:47, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
• Merge or delete: the functionality of adding the disambiguation suffix is somewhat needless; I'd support deleting {{Template:Other uses2}} entirely, merging its uses to {{other uses}} with manual addition of "(disambiguation)" as necessary. The former saves some effort for power users, but it's otherwise needless maintenance bloat and extra confusion for newbies. If the template is to be kept, then yes, I've got no problem with simply merging the functionality into the other module—its separate nature is just an artifact of piecemeal Lua-fication of the templates. That said, I strongly oppose implementing the template as a wikitext injection to {{other uses}} in the way that Pppery proposed in the earlier TfD, with the same rationale as I mentioned there. As reference, I'm currently the sole author of both modules. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 03:51, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

SEPTA s-line templates

• Template:SEPTA color (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:SEPTA lines (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:SEPTA stations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:SEPTA style (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Superseded by Module:Adjacent stations/SEPTA. All transclusions replaced. I've put the 73 S-line subpages within a collapsed section; they're wholly dependent on the four main templates and should also be deleted. Mackensen (talk) 16:26, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:ITunes

• Template:ITunes (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

We shouldn't encourage links to a store for albums or apps (which seems to be the main purpose here). Why privilege iTunes over eMusic or Amazon or going to your local record store (which is the best of these options)? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:35, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

• Keep Judging by the link appearing at Dose Your Dreams, this seems like a useful source of metadata, not some sales site. Am I missing something? Nyttend (talk) 23:28, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Hardcoded version of Template:String count, version using that template written at Template:Admin tasks/sandbox. * Pppery * _{has returned} 15:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:Infobox D&D deity

• Template:Infobox D&D deity (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Infobox character (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox D&D deity with Template:Infobox character.
Similar to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 April 12#Template:Infobox D&D character, the deity of D&D should be merged into the general character infobox. image, caption, name, title, home, alignment and first are already present in {{Infobox character}}; setting, alias and myth are not used by any article (though the latter two are both are included in the general infobox, and if "setting" was meant as "series" or "franchise" then that is also available). This leaves |power=, |portfolio=, |domains= and |super=.

|portfolio= seems to be the abilities they use which can be used, similar to fighting styles and weapons for fighting games. Not quite sure if |super= is OR or not, as some of the articles that use it don't even mention the superior or when mentioning it don't reference it being "superior" but either as family or as someone they are affiliated with. If this is important, it can be added, but if it is misused, then both |family= and |affiliation= can be used instead. |domains= seem ripe for WP:OR as its a laundry list that is usually absent from the rest of the article and should probably not be merged. Likewise |power= should not be merged as too in-universe trivia. Gonnym (talk) 11:56, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

• Orphan and delete. Most of the items not already in Infobox character seem to be thoroughly in-universe topics that should be ignored as fancruft. I suppose "setting" would be useful to merge if it were in use, but since it's not being used now, I don't see the point of moving it to another infobox where it won't likely be used. Nyttend (talk) 23:23, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
• Delete Infoboxes should not include trivial information. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 04:55, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
• Merge per Gonnym.
• The "Setting" line can be determined as follows, and become "Series" in the new infobox. Some articles use the version Template:Greyhawk Deity, in which case the series would be World of Greyhawk. Some use Template:Forgotten Realms Deity, which would become Forgotten Realms. Those that simply use Template:D&D Deity do not have a specific setting, so that can either be left blank or converted to something like Dungeons & Dragons.
• Race should become "Deity" for all, as per Takhisis which was already converted. The rest of the entries (power, portfolio, domains, super) that are not currently used in the main character infobox can be moved to the article text as desired by interested parties by looking at the edit history, but can be ignored during the merging process.

  • Good comments. --Gonnym (talk) 07:24, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
    • But if they insist on just deleting the template instead, I suppose I'll have to convert them all myself to "Infobox character" manually. :P BOZ (talk) 11:45, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• Delete per Nyttend. Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 11:03, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:Miss Mundo de Puerto Rico

• Template:Miss Mundo de Puerto Rico (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Nav template with 1 link and 1 redirect to the same article. Does not navigate between anything. Gonnym (talk) 10:47, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete. Useless. --woodensuperman 15:55, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
