I nominated for CSD G8 back in September because this was an "unused subpage of cite jstor template", but Primefac (talk · contribs) declined, saying ""being used" is not one of the reasons to G8 a template". Not really sure what the logic was behind that, but since G8 was declined, here we are. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:28, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The template is deprecated but not deleted so you get references that make a bit of sense when you browse page histories. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:38, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Matters not to me, I don't believe in leaving dead code that can still be used by other editors. By your rational, we shouldn't ever delete any template, including this, as all article histories will be better understood with them. References are not some special piece of content. --Gonnym (talk) 21:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox settlement wrappers

edit
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete after replacing with Template:Infobox settlement. — JJMC89(T·C) 06:09, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary wrappers for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions, on pretty stable sets of articles. Subst:itution will reduce the maintenance overhead, reduce the cognitive burden for editors, and enable articles to benefit more immediately from improvements to the current parent template.

See also a recent batch of similar wrappers, which were all deleted. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:38, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No; but neither does your saying that make it not a fact. Consider, for example, the PCC template's code:

| image_flag              = {{{Flag|}}}
| image_map               = {{{Map|}}}
| mapsize                 = {{{MapSize|}}}

| population_total        = {{{Pop|}}}
| population_as_of        = {{{PopYear|}}}

It is clear that such parameter names are inconsistent with those in the parent template, not to mention other wrappers. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:35, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flag can be removed outright, as, in the PRC, subnational flags are disallowed outside of the two SARs of Hong Kong and Macau. The others can be easily renamed with an AWB run, which I have done. Strutting around on a crusade and bringing this matter to TfD is not a productive tactic. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 03:36, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Strutting around on a crusade"? Mind your tone. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:25, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tone policing does not alter the fact you still are lacking an argument for the unnecessary introduction of the language formatting as well as the links to the ranked provincial articles, such as List of Chinese administrative divisions by GDP, both which are taken care of with the wrapper. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 18:55, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I see you found the inconsistency in names I was referring to. I was sure that linking to the specific template with the problem would be obvious, as most of the parameter names are inconsistent both in using a different parameter name than the original template and also inconsistent with other parameters in the same template using Pascal case instead of Snake case. Also, if you look at the actual closing comment and not how Alex (the one who did the conversion) interrupted it, it said to merge the template, not to create a wrapper. I'm assuming Alex did it as a compromise. --Gonnym (talk) 11:16, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Loose with the facts yet again, as it was the closer, who interpreted "merged" as a wrapping. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 16:18, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support all, including china - the current "wrapper" style is not a programatically correct way of doing these such of things. While it may seem to work, the cons outweigh the benefits it brings, such as the maintenance burden of making sure that every change, fix or addition to the parent template gets trickled down to the countless other templates and the lack of documentation and inconsistency of parameter names (looking at you {{Infobox Province of China (PRC)}}) which, as Andy says, are a cognitive burden for editors which need to learn a new template style for each country. --Gonnym (talk) 13:07, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, merge into an "administratice region" infobox instead. As Tom (LT) already noted (first !vote): "... merge into something along the lines of "Infobox region" as to me settlement isn't a very logical term to describe these places". Per definition, a settlement (human) is not a region (administrative unit). Whatever non-vetted wiki documentation may say: we cannot change RL concepts, so future editors will be confused ever. -DePiep (talk) 19:04, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Isn't what you are suggesting a WP:RM then? This is more of a technical change from a wrapper of a template, to a direct invocation of that same template. --Gonnym (talk) 19:13, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • OMG, {{Infobox region}} already corrupted. Basically, same topic as in this TfD: settlement and country are not the same concepts, full stop. So should not be merged. The specifiers in all but one of the templates here are administrative parts of a country not (human) settlements, Canton, Latvian district, Maldives atoll, Province of China (PRC), region of Italy, Ukrainian oblast, Venezuelan state: none is a settlement. (Vienna district is the exception here). No reader or article-editor is helped when an object type A is described as being an object type B. Documentation cannot undo this. -DePiep (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • FFS DePiep, you've already derailed the 'Infobox former subdivision' discussion (currently on the same page as this discussion); there's no need for you to derail this one as well. As you've been told several times in that discussion: "Infobox settlement is for 'settlements [and] other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country'; per its own documentation." and "if you wish to change the way {{Infobox settlement}} is used - and has been used for over a decade - start a discussion on its talk page.". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:36, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all perfect case of Infobox consolidation. The articles are stable and substituting the templates in and then deleting the wrapper will remove overhead. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 23:49, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
