Template TV Network

Hey, I edited Template:Network 18 to include what I believe was useful info but it was reverted as being "superfluous". Other similar TV network templates do already carry such info (for example Template:Turner Broadcasting System, Template:NBC). Can you tell me why it was removed exactly. Thanks. Gotitbro (talk) 23:22, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The fact that other templates are substandard should not be a reason to make more templates substandard. A navigation template should only act voor navigation, it is not an article. The Banner talk 07:08, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thanks for clarifying. I was just following of what I believed to be standard practice. Gotitbro (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AfD

I don't really care about your mission against pools.. What will happen one day however, my friend, is that someone will simply slam you with yet another a block for your persistent incivility, personal attacks, and battleground mentality. And it won't need to go to ANI, and it won't need to be me. And it will be longer next time. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Getting desperate that your arguments do not hold sway? It is getting a nice tradition of accusing some one to have a battlefield mentality when you run out of polkicy/guidelined-based arguments. The Banner talk 11:41, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

removed program without article, deemed not notable

I noticed that on the page Comparison of SSH servers you had removed a couple "programs" ("libraries" would probably be a better term) due to them lacking their own articles. If they had their own articles, would it be more acceptable if they were included on that page?

Alternatively, I noticed that some of the libraries listed on other technical articles comparing protocol implementations do not have their own articles but instead link back to the parent company's article. An example is the "Tectia" library, which has a link back to their company SSH Communications Security instead of a standalone article for the library. Would this be an acceptable way to add libraries to the Comparison of SSH servers page?

The standard is: no article, no mention.
I will check the other articles. The Banner talk 22:59, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

re: RFC religion in infoboxes

First of all, you do understand that the religion parameter no longer works in the 'INFOBOX PERSON' template. That information recorded using that parameter is NOT visible in the article and has not been visble for a year and a half. You understand that my edit did not remove it from the article and that an UNDO of the edit will not make it reappear in the article. You understand that when that parameter was made inoperable (a year and a half ago), that it creates an error in the system which can be viewed in the article by clicking on the edit tab and then the show preview button. Those errors ultimately make their way to this report: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Infobox_person_using_religion.

As far as 'Destroying' information is concerned, as an experienced editor i'm sure that you realize that every version of the life cycle of an article is retained. Including everyone of the 150,000+ edits that you have made.

Are you really fighting to retain information that generates an error, and has not been visible in the article for ( a year and a half)? Gene Wilson (talk) 15:51, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly do not understand the effect of your removals. You are coldly removing info (albeit not visible any more) without rescuing the info elsewhere in the article. What I want is that you do not axe it out, but move the info to the article body where necessary. The Banner talk 17:21, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To the contrary, I make a great effort not to as you say 'Coldly Axe Out' this unviewable information. Let's restate that - unviewable part. Many of the listings of the persons religion use citations to verify their statements. That citation relates to that specific fact in the INFOBOX. In many other cases, a named citation <ref name="xxxxx"> is defined in the INFOBOX and called upon in other locations in the article using <rêf name="xxxxx"/>. I move these citations to the body of the article and make sure they are working properly before I delete the information from the infobox. Try as you may, I am confident that I am not demonstrating some kind of reckless disregard for these articles. Gene Wilson (talk) 20:03, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
