I don't know anything about TfD, but this template was used in an earlier version of an article before it moved up to a superme court case.

Keep: At least for another month or two, WikiProject Equine didn't fully realize this template even existed, we would like the opportunity to take a look at it and see if it's something we can use. Can you allow us time to discuss it and perhaps do any improvements that seem needed? Thanks! (If we decide we don't want it, we'll support a TfD later...)

Thanks for pointing that out, we obviously all dropped the ball, forgot about it (including, clearly, me) and never completed our work on it; looks like we mostly favored the concept, were just fussing over nuances and the discussion died. Definitely worth salvaging and resurrecting. Montanabw^(talk) 03:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by template creator While it is true that the template is currently only being used on PrimeGrid, I don't see how that is a valid reason for deletion of this template. Also, I think this infobox contains exactly the fields that are (in my opinion) useful for an infobox in this article. But if we can update {{Infobox distributed computing project}} so that it can hold the information that this template currently holds in the PrimeGrid article, then that's fine with me. -- Toshio Yamaguchi 11:56, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:EngvarB

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

Completely needless given existing Template:Use British English on pages and Template:British English on talk pages, so there's that. Further, no evidence whatsoever that Ohcon or other users are checking edit histories to ensure that pages are actually (per WP:ENGVAR) properly or by consensus considered British English. No evidence whatsoever that pages with American English are being similarly formatted or protected via bot. In at least one case (Pippa Passes) the current method of inclusion of the template produces unsightly white spacing at the top of the articles. — LlywelynII 06:43, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can confirm that pages with American English are not being similarly formatted, but so what? There is no deadline. The project is a staged one, and work is continuing to apply WP:ENGVAR to articles, principally based on WP:TIES – initially British, Australian, NZ, Irish, Scottish, Indian, South African. The EngvarB template is conceived to be nationality-neutral, and allows a generic templating that upsets few – as opposed to broadly applying {{use British English}} to articles about Irish etc subjects – which can understandably provoke nationalistic sensitivities although none are intended. The "unsightly white spacing at the top of the articles" seems to be a technical constraint with hidden templates in general and does not affect only this one, otherwise all hidden templates would need deletion. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 07:14, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Could the same tracking be done by adding a second parameter to {{Use British English}} and its cousins? Something like {{Use British English|date=June 2010|last_checked=September 2013}}. Have I understood the purpose of {{EngvarB}}? -- John of Reading (talk) 09:14, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have been contemplating evolving the template and the related work for some time, but want to get the work done whilst avoiding complication. Of course we can always add a parameter to the template, if we find a good use for same. At present, when the script passes, it would simply change {{Use British English|date=June 2010}} to {{Use British English|date=September 2013}} because nobody has found any advantage of keeping the 'June 2010' date. Maybe in time, WP can move to International English. But you would think that there is a huge cultural trench where lies the Atlantic that bodes ill for universal application of IE if you read all the comments on WT:MOS and my talk page about national variants of English (or date formats). -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 09:56, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This project is unnecessary, appears US-biased and could provoke divisiveness. We already have guidelines on ENGVAR that work well. Labelling an article as "British English" places decision before discussion, over-emphasizes ENGVAR issues and is likely to provoke division. The project is fundamentally flawed because it doesn't take account of the most common variant - International English (e.g. see the Oxford Dictionary of English) - and appears to give special status to US English pages as the dominant form. In fact the main corpus of the English language is International English, with the others (US, Canadian, British, Australian, Indian, Irish, etc.) being important regional variants. Bermicourt (talk) 09:35, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bermicourt: You seem to have misunderstood that this is about deleting {{use British English}}. But if you believe {{EngvarB}} should be deleted, then the line of discussion in the above vote belongs at the relevant talk page. And until it's generally accepted that we can and should use IE, this template is necessary. The use of this EngvarB template is merely an extension of WP:ENGVAR, to keep articles' spelling a consistent variety throughout whilst avoiding provoking nationalistic sensitivities, which is something you alluded to in your comment. In actual fact, I've actually stopped applying {{use British English}}. Having said that, I tend to agree that the whole Engvar thing is divisive, but we also need to accept that it exists as part of the Manual of Style and needs to be maintained. I totally agree, why not "International English" instead? But has its dictionary even been defined? And who recognises IE? Or maybe we will evolve a "Wikipedia English" along these lines?
  I dislike the proliferation of templates for Australian English, South African English and even Scottish English and Hong Kong English – heaven help us that it's splintering to this degree – because they potentially create large permutations and thus hugely complicate maintenance. In the sense of what I'm doing, running the EngvarB script is applying a uniform spelling from a dictionary I established (close to British) rather than IE spellings. That dictionary is not immutable. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 10:11, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- PS. If anyone would propose to delete all the "use English" templates listed here, I would happily support, but I sincerely believe EngvarB should be kept for the reasons I already gave. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 10:19, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Ohc. I don't know how widespread the concept of International English is, but the New Oxford Dictionary of English views English as a world language. To that end they employed around 70 editors and consultants from all over the English speaking world including e.g. 18 US consultants, 8 Indian English consultants and so on. In practice, words that are common to all or most regions are considered "international", words that are mainly used in just one or two regions are specifically annotated as such. This seems a smart approach which Wikipedia could adopt, provided we can agree on which dictionary or dictionaries are authoritative. There will probably be US objections if we only use the ODE as it may be seen (wrongly) as a British source, but if there were a leading US dictionary that used the "international" approach, we might find it easier to gain acceptance. Bermicourt (talk) 13:49, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"International English" has not been established on the Wikipedia MoS; that requires a change through discussion at MoS. Good luck with that. Meanwhile, deleting templates will not make such MoS changes happen. Dl2000 (talk) 15:05, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found User:Angr/Unified English Spelling extremely interesting. But "interesting" (and moot) will all it ever be unless we can sweep away the nationalism that exists here and embrace genuine multi-culturalism. It would be un fol éspoir under this consensual model we have. Even the author accepts that it's a personal view that isn't ever likely to be adopted. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 02:41, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, no coherent deletion rationale and based on faulty understanding of the templates. First note that {{EngvarB}} is not redundant with {{Use British English}}, etc. per template documentation; it groups similar spelling patterns of regional English variants for spell check, WP:COMMONALITY that is approximately associated with the British Commonwealth (the "appears US-biased" complaint is therefore absurd). EngvarB cannot simply be merged to the British English tag without causing complaints, in fact that has generated complaints on Australian articles. Thus EngvarB would be more likely to reduce the chances of divisive discussions. There are editors who occasionally fix for WP:ENGVAR consistency, and such templates help with identifying articles for such repair. There are indeed some technical and operational issues with the templates which need to be resolved (e.g. dating original tag versus checking dates; syncing with talk page templates) which should be solved but deletion is a false solution to these (WP:BATHWATER). There are editors who occasionally check for WP:ENGVAR consistency, such templates on the article assist that task. The deletion reasons are strictly WP:IDONTLIKEIT and the nominators have not supplied proof of any actual chronic or unsolvable problems and alternatives to deletion have not been sufficiently discussed. Dl2000 (talk) 15:05, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as currently useful. If there is a redundancy, ((tl|Use British English}} seems more likely the one to be deleted, IMO. -PC-XT+ 08:43, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or at lest change the message displayed. This is not a request for copyediting as I understand it, and the WP:GOCE should not be responsible for it.--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Am I wrong that this template places the article in the copyedit category? That's what adds apparent work to the WP:GOCE.--DThomsen8 (talk) 02:10, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The documentation could be clearer, but as you've mentioned this is not a cleanup request template as such and could be exempt from a copyedit category (or add a category to indicate GOCE-exempt templates such as this). In any case, deleting the template entirely is overkill (WP:BATHWATER, WP:ATD); maybe WP:GOCE should recruit a larger labour pool? Dl2000 (talk) 01:50, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
