Template:Definite article (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This seems to be a joke tag. Its use requires more typing than correcting the mentioned error, so it is inefficient. It is also fundamentally incorrect. Example: The dog (definite noun). The Playstation 3 (definite model of game system). Lexein (talk) 19:52, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Incomplete (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Useless templates that can be replaced by {{stub}}. (tJosve05a (c) 16:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Transclusions= 2,801. IMHO it's useful if a section or paragraph is incomplete, where a concept is obviously introduced but obviously not fleshed out. Example:
Many newspaper editorials opposed the legislation.[1][2][3] (citing the papers, without prose explanation of the opposition, or any ref citing a source describing the opposition in aggregate).
This use makes it distinct from {{stub}} or {{expand}}, IMHO. I'd recommend the following:
  • Clarifying the above distinction in the documentation
  • Adding an optional |reason= parameter displayed in the template, for stating what's missing.
  • Deletion of the template from pages where the Talk page lacks an explanation of what's incomplete, as required in the template documentation.

Template:Infobox NHS Foundation Trust (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Newly created infobox with two transclusions, most of the parameters are already part of Template:Infobox organization. eh bien mon prince (talk) 15:51, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it is worth noting that NHS regions - which were widely used as an organising principle in Wikipedia - have been abolished. Even when they existed they were not a constant, as they were frequently reorganised. Rathfelder (talk) 20:09, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Touchdown Club of Columbus Male Athlete of the Year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This navbox is a stand-alone creation that fails to meet these guidelines of WP:NAVBOX:

  • Red XN The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article. → Not a single article mentions the navbox topic
  • Red XN The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent. → None of them refer to each other
  • Red XN There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template. → No and yes (see further explanation below)
  • Red XN You would want to list many of these articles in the See also sections of the articles. → Not true

The only guideline which may qualify under WP:NAVBOX is "All articles within a template relate to a single, coherent subject," but that alone is not enough to keep it. I'd also like to mention that the article Touchdown Club of Columbus is a list of various awards the organization hands out, but not a single one of them is "Male Athlete of the Year," so who the heck really knows what this navbox is even supposed to be referring to.
