:'''Strongly oppose''' - Firstly, the "documentation" that the nominator refers to is in a "see also" note in [[Template:Infobox road/doc]], ''not'' the documentation at [[Template:Infobox Australian road/doc|Template:Infobox '''Australian''' road/doc]], which does not describe it as "a version" at all. The two templates are actually very different, although the layout of Infobox Australian road was modified to make it look a bit like Infobox road. Secondly, the code in Infobox road is by no means complete. The issue of whether to use Infobox road or Infobox Australian road was discussed at length only last year by members of the roads and Australian roads projects. That discussion included an [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian Roads/RfC:Infobox Road proposal|RfC]]. As a result of significant improvements to Infobox Australian road, it was decided by those involved that a switch to Infobox road would not proceed. Unless there has been development at Infobox road since then, that template does not adequately cover Australian roads because Infobox Australian road includes functionality not included in Infobox road. Infobox road is not an all-in-one template. 2,418 articles are forced to use {{tl|Infobox street}}, {{tl|Infobox road small}} and {{tl|Infobox road junction}} while Infobox Australian road includes the functionality of these templates. Merging as suggested by the nominator would result in Australian roads being forced to use four different Infoboxes instead of the one that they use now, which seems quite ridiculous. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 01:47, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
