Template:Infobox swimming event (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Infobox multi-sport competition event}}; I've replaced one transclusion to demonstrate. The page can be kept as a redirect. Alakzi (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as redundant, with redirect per nom. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, with caveat per nominator's rationale, with the caveats that (a) all functionality is preserved, and (b) we incorporate the best layout and design elements from the several templates for individual events of multi-event sports competitions now under discussion in several different TfDs. Let's have a merged template that is an improvement over those that presently exist. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:27, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • All functionality will be preserved; {{Infobox multi-sport competition event}} has all of this infobox's parameters, plus more. The only design complaint I've heard was about the use of "at the" in the title. Alakzi (talk) 21:36, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Alakzi: There are several TfDs regarding these multi-event templates currently pending. You've got several, and Andy has at least one. From what I have seen so far, they should all be treated the same -- there really is no substantive difference between any of them and the multi-sport competition infobox. Most of my thoughts on point are outlined in the merge TfD discussion for the athletics competition infobox here: [1]. Yes, the primary issue is the header, but there are several other elements we can talk about after that discussion closes (it's a logical first step, and I don't want to do anything to extend a discussion that seems to have already run its course).

        • So, if you admit that they're identical, why was the first caveat necessary? When somebody says they'll only support a proposal if a certain condition is met, it tends to be that that condition wouldn't otherwise be met. As for the second caveat—should I assume that you do not regard redundancy as adequate justification for deletion? Alakzi (talk) 22:38, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Alakzi, if we are going to merge these templates (all of the four or five now under discussion), we should incorporate the best design elements of each. Too often we simply merge the functionality, and ignore the design elements. As for the first caveat, I believe all of the functional elements are the same, but we have four or five different templates under discussion, and I am allowing that they may not all have identical parameters. If they are, it's an easy caveat to satisfy. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:37, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Spam (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages){{uw-spam1}}
Template:Spam1 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) This is just a redirect to {{Spam}}
Template:Spam2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages){{uw-spam2}}
Template:Spam3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages){{uw-spam3}}
Template:Spam4 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages){{uw-spam4}}
Template:Spam5 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages){{uw-sblock}}

These are redundant to the new improved {{uw-spam1}}, {{uw-spam2}}, {{uw-spam3}}, {{uw-spam4}}, and {{uw-sblock}}. Need deletion, or maybe simpler to simply redirect them to the new versions. They are full-protected so this would still require an admin to complete. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 04:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
