Template:Big Matches

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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. ✗plicit 00:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the links to matches are actually just links back to the main article Big Match. All of the schools blue links are unnecessary for this template, as can be incorporated into a different template like "Schools in Sri Lanka". Not an encyclopedic and useful template for this cricket event. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose removing the edition section keeping other parts. -- IDB.S (talk) 06:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary template linking players based on the result of one competition- there were tonnes of T20 competitions each of these years, so linking in a template for this specific event is arbitrary and unnecessary. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. This was a major tournament assosciated with IPL. Having this does no harm. Pharaoh496 (talk) 09:11, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This used to be a page that listed all the Zh language templates. Those have all been converted years ago and this page has lost its purpose. The two templates listed aren't "Zh-" templates so don't fit disambiguation. Gonnym (talk) 15:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Created in 2017. This template may have been substed four times, but it does not appear to be in use anymore. It appears that other templates or processes have superseded it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment you raise a good point, Jonesey95. This was a template that I created back in the day that evidently didn't really take off and I'm not around AfC that much anymore. However, I do find it personally sort of helpful to exist. If it doesn't remain in the template namespace (and others don't think it useful), let's userfy it. --TheSandDoctor Talk 03:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Proposed in early 2024, but the proposal did not gain any support. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As the creator, I would like to submit a counter proposal that we merge {{School block}} and {{Anonblock}} using this template. It is impossible to know every IP address that is a school, some administrators use the anonblock template on schools and universities purely out of preference, and in the past the argument for the school block template's existence is that there is information on it that is not on the anonblock template. A merged template would eliminate inconsistency. Additionally, the "create an account at home" suggestion on the school block template is ridiculous when used on residential schools and universities or institutions in countries where hardwired internet at home is not common, which is probably part of the reason why some admins use anonblock on universities, which leaves out information that is relevant to them.
    Furthermore, the "persistent vandalism" part of {{school block}} is problematic. Per WP:Vandalism, there are instances of "silly vandalism" and there are instances of "editing tests." In the case of a registered account or a residential IP address (that is not CGNAT), we can make the distinction when one engages in it repeatedly after warning, but any kind of shared IP address is inherently difficult to identify repeat problems from an individual vs. multiple individuals that have nothing to do with each other (I've used corporate networks where clearly people more than 24 hours away from me were using the same IP to edit Wikipedia for example, and some large school districts or universities aren't much different in that regard). About the only way one can do this is if there's an observable pattern (some fascination with a subject, posting the same person's name in articles over a long period of time, etc), but I "persistently" see IPs being blocked for "persistent vandalism" with no observable pattern (I saw a school get blocked for five years one time over a kid or staff member writing "HI" on an article a few weeks after a previous block expired...). Jumping the gun to label silly edits which could be "editing tests" as "persistent vandalism" is really a violation of WP:AGF (and potentially WP:BLP) PCHS Pirate Alumnus (talk) 23:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    PCHS Pirate Alumnus: If you want to propose this merge, the talk pages of the other templates need to be notified, and the templates need to be tagged appropriately and listed here. It would probably make more sense, though, to modify one of the existing templates if its content is not appropriate in all situations. That discussion should probably happen at the talk page for one of the templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete We don't need non-admins futzing around with block template UIs. It's time for this failed proposal to meet its fate. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:20, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry, but adminship is WP:NOBIGDEAL, and being more concerned with winning against an 8 year old than the collateral damage caused by these absolutely stupid school blocks (especially the wide rangeblocks that end up encompassing more than just K-12 institutions like the public libraries and state universities sharing a backbone with K12s) is a mental illness that should exclude people from access to the toolset, and the handful of admins who are responsible for the majority of these kind of blocks ought to be de-sysopped and blocked for disruptive editing. Note that I am not directing this at anyone in particular as I don't have the credentials to diagnose individuals, but we should be discouraging phobic behavior, not encouraging it with special templates. I'm saying this as someone who has been on the encyclopedia for 17 years and done plenty of anti-vandalism work. Any legitimate reason to specify an IP address as educational in nature is satisfied by {{Shared IP edu}}. No worries, I'll put a merge notice on the talk pages of the two templates.

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Citation needed alongside {{fake citation needed}}. charlotte 👸♥ 00:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Talkfact with Template:Fake citation needed.
These templates are duplicates. {{talkfact}} just has |nice=yes to change the wording, and {{fake citation needed}} has namespace detection. The merge target follows WP:TPN's "standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization", and the source can be a shortcut. 174.94.28.189 (talk) 06:36, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move {{Talkfact}} to {{Talk fact}} which is where it should have been. The two templates display similarly but have different functions. I, for example, want to be able to find all the documentation, by using "what links here" on {{Fake citation needed}}. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 19:19, 4 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]
"What links here" indents redirects so that function would remain after any merger. Furthermore, at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Fake_citation_needed&limit=500, the majority of transclusions are outside templatespace (documentation) and apparently inside discussions. 174.94.28.189 (talk) 00:35, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
