**On closer examination, it appears that subject-specific categorization already is enabled in {{tl|In-universe}} through the "category" parameter. So, adding <code><nowiki>{{In-universe|category=Star Trek}}</nowiki></code> to an article will place it in [[:Category:Star Trek articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction]]. The "subject" parameter, which I mentioned above, merely identifies the subject in the message box and perhaps can be removed altogether. -- '''[[User:Black Falcon|Black Falcon]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Black Falcon|talk]])</sup> 02:26, 5 March 2011 (UTC) |

**Besides ''date'', the template has only three other (optional) parameters. What aspect, in particular, do you find "complicated and confusing", which the documentation could address better? The "one parameter" to which you refer essentially is the ''category'' parameter, since the only function of the ''subject'' parameter is to specify the subject in the text of the message. It is possible to combine the ''subject'' and ''category'' parameters, but that would create the risk of an article being placed in a non-existent cleanup category. For instance, someone may want to specify "[[The Simpsons]]" for the ''subject'' and "[[:Category:Television articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction|Television]]" for the ''category''.

Hatnotes. Effect will be: hatnote will read "See also: ...", not "Further information: ...". Semantically they are the same. Reducing the hatnote text-variants is just plain simple.

Technically: both have the same structure, allowing free text for the 1st parameter. {{Further}} to become redirect, or botwise replacement. -DePiep (talk) 03:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC) Earlier TfD: 2007_May_11 (Keep). -DePiep (talk) 03:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Note: A related discussion is started here: {{see}}: change text into: See also: .... -DePiep (talk) 03:53, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose The meanings are not the same. "See also" merely indicates a related article. "Further information" implies a stronger relation, more similar to {{main}}. --Cybercobra (talk) 03:59, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose "Further" has a specific meaning that is not indicated by see also. 65.94.45.238 (talk) 06:42, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Re Cybercobra and IP65: I must say, that's what I thought too until some days ago too. But just take a fresh look again: as a hatnote, the "Further information ..." says exactly the same as "See also...". Wherever used correctly in this encyclopedia, the essential hatnote information is not different, it only suggests so.
- By definition, all hatnotes provide links to articles, and every link is related to the topic (section, sentence) it is mentioned in. Testing myself, I have browsed some dozen of links of "Further ...", and have not seen one occasion that that 'specific' meaning was required on that place. I even got less sensitive to a perceived different meaning. And sure {{main}} is different. -DePiep (talk) 09:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- (1) Main would be an expansion of the topic of a section
- (2) Further would be to expand on allied topics covered in a section
- (3) See also would be any of those, in addition to tangentially related subjects
- Atleast that is my understanding of the differences between them. 65.94.45.238 13:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.45.238 (talk)
- That difference between (2) and (3) can exist, but it is small as neglectible in the encyclopedia, and is not enforced/maintained over template use. In all, these two are interchangeable without error of understanding. Simply: "See also ..." points to related, linked topics. And that's all we need. Maintaining that difference would be more artificial than illuminating. -DePiep 14:03, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- That is to say: differences do exist, I agree. But IMO they are too small to maintain here as hatnotes. It requires a high level of editing to keep details right, and still then they don't add much. -DePiep (talk) 17:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Propose deletion: This is just an overly specific variation of {{In-universe}} and redundant to it, as it has "subject" parameter. I also nominate the following templates for the same reason:
- {{In-universe/Generic}}
- {{In-universe/Anime and manga}}
- {{In-universe/Comics}}
- {{In-universe/Discworld}}
- {{In-universe/Dungeons & Dragons}}
- {{In-universe/Film}}
- {{In-universe/Literature}}
- {{In-universe/Star Wars}}
- {{In-universe/Television}}
- {{In-universe/Three Kingdoms}}
- {{In-universe/Tolkien}}
- {{In-universe/Transformers}}
- {{In-universe/Video game}}
- {{In-universe/Warhammer 40,000}}
{{In-universe/Star Trek}}
→ {{In-universe|subject=Star Trek|category=Star Trek}}
{{In-universe|subject=Star Trek}}
- On closer examination, it appears that subject-specific categorization already is enabled in {{In-universe}} through the "category" parameter. So, adding
{{In-universe|category=Star Trek}}
to an article will place it in Category:Star Trek articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction. The "subject" parameter, which I mentioned above, merely identifies the subject in the message box and perhaps can be removed altogether. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:26, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Go for it, but be sure to explain in that templates description that these parameters exist and can be used. No need to keep these templates if we have already have one that does the same thing, even if it needs more effort. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:06, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete all Why have this around when you can just do this: {{Inuniverse|anime and manga article}} and get the same result? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:37, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete all per nom. Neelix (talk) 16:55, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the suggestion to remove templates created ease of use - auto completing 3 of the 4 parameters in the parent template - and hope that later users will have a clue as to what to list for "subject", "described_object" and "category". That sounds a bit counterproductive. - J Greb (talk) 19:02, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- The described_object and subject parameters are highly optional. The default for described_object is "a work or element of fiction", and the more specific text "an aspect of a {Foo}" is not a critical improvement. In a similar way, stating "This Star Trek-related article" is not a significant improvement over "This article".
In my opinion, described_object and subject could be deprecated with little or no loss of information; of course, I am not advocating for that since their presence is not detrimental in any way. Fundamentally, the replacement that matters in the context of a maintenance template is of{{In-universe/Star Trek}}
with{{In-universe|category=Star Trek}}
. The documentation for {{In-universe}} was incomplete, however, but I have attempted to improve it by restoring usage instructions pertaining to the three optional parameters. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)- Fair point, and the wording on the base template example should be clear enough without hitting editors and/or readers over the head with the basic topic.
I wonder if it may be worth converting the the "category" parameter to {{{1|}}} and a switch if the specialized versions are removed. It would simplify the 'bot run to replace them. - J Greb (talk) 23:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC)- That's an idea worth considering, though at the moment {{{1|}}} can be used to change the word "article" to something else, such as "list" or "section"—whether this is actually used in more than just a handful of articles is hard to say. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:17, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- I'm looking at keeping the transition simple. Going from
{{In-universe/<foo>}}
to{{In-universe|<foo>}}
is a very, very simple edit. It just requires adding the code to identify and categorize by that unnamed parameter. Leaving it as "1" just requires a single pipe. If page type is to supersede that, the edit would need 2 pipes and the additional coding should be in place at the same time. - J Greb (talk) 16:54, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

In a similar way, stating "This Star Trek-related article" is not a significant improvement over "This article".
- Keep for now. {{In-universe}} is not "idiot proof". In-universe's parameters are too complicated and confusing for editors to apply consistently and there is a huge risk that an article may not go into the correct or a non-existent cleanup category. An editor should only need to set one parameter to specify a subject area and ensure that the article is placed in the correct cleanup category. —Farix (t | c) 02:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Besides date, the template has only three other (optional) parameters. What aspect, in particular, do you find "complicated and confusing", which the documentation could address better? The "one parameter" to which you refer essentially is the category parameter, since the only function of the subject parameter is to specify the subject in the text of the message. It is possible to combine the subject and category parameters, but that would create the risk of an article being placed in a non-existent cleanup category. For instance, someone may want to specify "The Simpsons" for the subject and "Television" for the category. Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
