June 30[edit]

Template:SC Toronto coaches[edit]

Propose merging Template:SC Toronto coaches with Template:SC Toronto managers.
Duplicate navboxes. DB1729talk 22:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to merge. Delete the one that isn't correct. They are either coaches or managers. Gonnym (talk) 07:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Oxford City F.C. seasons[edit]

Navbox with one blue link in the body. DB1729talk 20:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not enough links for a navigation template. Gonnym (talk) 07:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hartford Hawks men's lacrosse[edit]

Navbox with one blue link. DB1729talk 20:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not enough links for a navigation template. Gonnym (talk) 07:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Template:CFLStartingQuarterbacks[edit]

Similar to this discussion about Template:NFL starting quarterbacks navbox, this navbox changes weekly during the CFL season and has to be transcluded and untranscluded on individual pages each week. It is not particularly useful from the end of the season to the beginning of a new one, when players may not even be on their listed teams anymore. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:54, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Repurpose Remove the current starters but keep the links for the team lists. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Repurpose Agree with WikiOriginal-9; keep links for team starting quarterback history. Cmm3 (talk) 18:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Mungo Kitsch[edit]

Only used on a single users userspace pages. Should be moved to userspace. WOSlinker (talk) 11:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I am willing to cooperate for this or a similar navigational box to fit Wikipedia's guidelines, but I'm wondering what type of alternate approaches there are. Should I keep the template, but manually put the template in my userpages? Or should I find another type of template? Don't delete it yet, because I'll make sure to get this right. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 05:53, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You would keep the template. It would just be moved to a new location, for example User:Mungo Kitsch/Navigation and the name parameter would be updated as well. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Kalathei95/sandbox/bmrhy01[edit]

Template:KConWiki projects[edit]

Only used on a single users userspace pages. Should be moved to userspace. WOSlinker (talk) 11:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this disruptive to the rest of the Wikipedia project? This has been a very handy means of keeping track of various sandboxes and notes I have been working on or saving for future work. What is the issue with retaining this? KConWiki (talk) 14:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was just thinking at somewhere such as User:KConWiki/Projects would be a better location for this. -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Private use templates do not belong in the template namespace. I'm guessing you wouldn't want someone to change the links there because they want to track something else. Gonnym (talk) 19:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fellow editors - I appreciate the comments, and I don't want to cause a stir, but is there a discussion or guideline that has been established on this? (Or even short that, an example of how it would be disadvantageous to WP or its users?) I have found this to be a real convenience and I could move the links elsewhere, but if no compelling cause I would prefer not to. Thanks to all for their contributions. KConWiki (talk) 20:00, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The proposal is to simply move (rename) the template. You won't have to move each link, if that's part of your concern. DB1729talk 20:34, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
DB is correct, but if you also want a policy-based answer which goes with my question above, see Wikipedia:Ownership of content. If you create a private template in the template namespace, anyone can use it and change it. Wikipedia:Ownership of content#User pages gives you more control over the content there.
