Template:Cite-Hammond (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Susan Collins (artist) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

As the article is entirely a copyvio, there is nothing worth saving here. We can restart from scratch if anyone finds that the person is notable. This is also Sven Manguard 19:21, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

unused and better to just merge any necessary fields with {{infobox station}}. Frietjes (talk) 18:33, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unused, redundant and much of the information to be stuffed into this infobox should be described by a paragraph of prose within the body of the article. There would be very little left to write about. The Template {{TransLink (SEQ) railway platform}} may be related in some way and is also unused.

Template:3O (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template was in support of the Third Opinion Project. See discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Third_opinion#Discontinue_use_of_3O_tag. regarding removal. All references to use of the template have been removed from the project page. TransporterMan (TALK) 14:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a very frequent contributor to the Third Opinion Project, I would note that listings are frequently malformed at the time they're first listed, or even point to the wrong place altogether, either of which would give a bot the wrong input to place the tag; moreover, the mere existence of the tag has in the past caused editors to find it through searching help and post it in the belief that it would list the article at the project despite its very clear instructions that that's not enough. Once again, while the tag may be marginally helpful, the hassle it causes outweighs the benefit and, while a bot might ease the hassles a bit, the devil is going to be in the details of how it is implemented. It's best just gone. (And I would note that two out of the three most frequent contributors to the 3O project, Athaenara and myself, voted to delete, not to bot, which is not to say that either of us has more authority or right to have it deleted, only that we have some considerable experience with its use.)

Template:Infobox sportsperson biography (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to (fork of?) {{Infobox sportsperson}}. Used on fewer than 50 articles Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:56, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Is the only templete that allows you to return the count of the medals. Especially useful for swimmers and fencers. Should be noted in the project to apply to more biographies of the current 50. --Kasper2006 (talk) 12:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Most of the person infoboxes support standard param names for birth/death dates. This template fork goes off in it's own direction with the paramter names & doesn't fit in with the other infoboxes. It's could be chnaged to match the others but doesn't off much benefit over other options already available. -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:17, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there are specific infobxes already for swimmers & fencers. -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but what do you prefer?
What I mean is that you need a summary of the medals in the infobox. --Kasper2006 (talk) 16:44, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
so, why don't you think the templates should be merged? Frietjes (talk) 17:48, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, merge is perfect. ;) --Kasper2006 (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've created a template called {{MedalSum}} which can be used against the medaltemplates param. See example below. I still need to write the documentation for this new template though. -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:00, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the {{MedalSum}} template fails wp:accessibility since the placement is conveyed by colour without any table headings. To fix the issue, I created {{MedalCount}}, which has table headings, and does not require {{MedalSplit}}. Frietjes (talk) 20:39, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
