April 13

Template:Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy

Template:Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This will never be used on more than three articles and all three of the films are already in the complete template for all of Gregg Araki's films. This template serves no purpose. Harley Hudson (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Mootros (talk) 23:16, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Internal links in the article should be more than enough for a trilogy, unless it were to have many articles about different aspects of the trilogy (characters and whatnot). Star Wars Original Trilogy plus characters plus miscellany? Infobox. This? Nothing. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox aircraft/help

Template:Infobox aircraft/help (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Long out-of-date documentation superceded by that in template:infobox aircraft/doc. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 12:56, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not documentation. It's intended to be used to provide a skeleton for a user to substitute into a page. Once substituted, they can then populate the fields without having to remember the exact names of all the template's fields or what purpose they serve. Instead of having to navigate to the documentation page, the user can copy the commented skeleton directly into the article they're editing. Karl Dickman ^talk 14:27, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The documentation page already contains such a skeleton, and it is no more effort to copy and paste it than it would be to substitute a different template. It dates from years back when we didn't have support for proper documentation pages on templates and is basically redundant to the documentation we have now.

Delete, we already have a skeleton on the documentation page. Frietjes (talk) 20:35, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox pope

Template:Infobox pope (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Infobox Christian leader}}. Check User:Magioladitis/Sandbox for instance. We can delete or redirect there. Magioladitis (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect, but first change all instances to use the type = pope parameter. Frietjes (talk) 15:53, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Frietjes. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 15:18, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
