Template:REC US

Template is under-used, transcluded on only 35 33 32 pages. Neutralhomer • Talk • 16:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's underused because, in my estimation, adding it as a standard transclusion to infoboxes (as suggested) is not needed. However, that's not a reason to delete it; there are pages where it could be useful. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:44, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep per Sammi. Their knowledge of the various radio and station templates has been proven in the past. Gonnym (talk) 08:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cite GREC

Propose merging Template:Cite GREC with Template:GEC.
They cover the identical source, the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana. GEC has 14 mainspace inlinks and is more recent (but no doc); GREC has 17 (and iffy doc). My preference is that the merged name be 'Cite GEC' (and that all such wrappers should start with 'Cite'; they are so much easier to find when they do). Mathglot (talk) 21:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I created Cite GREC and I have no objections because they cover the same source. That said, calling other volunteers' well-intentioned work "iffy" is not nice, even if it really is iffy.
Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I beg your pardon. I'm aware of different priorities for getting a valuable template available for others to use, where a volunteer editor may not have the time to also document it, and I value your contribution. Possibly my alter ego as a template-documentation gnome makes me more critical on documentations issues than I ought to be. I apologize; no offense intended.

Not sure of / if there's a policy specific on this(?), but generally it seems fine to me to have navboxes when there's multiple links, especially of this type; coach navboxes like this are very useful IMO, both to editors and I'd think those who want to know more about the coaching history of their programs (as its often the only place to find it).

    Don't people read articles anymore? Surely the information should be at George_Fox_Bruins_football#List_of_head_coaches before it is in a navbox. And that's where you can see the data in context. Also, WP:WTAF, redlinks in navboxes should not be used to create articles. --woodensuperman 16:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The thing is, it isn't at that article. The navbox is the only place to find such information presently. WTAF is also an essay; but redlinks in navboxes are beneficial – a college football article creation campaign was even based on them. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:13, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Then it should be at the article. Add the information there. Navboxes are for linking between WP:EXISTING articles. The Wikiproject is abusing navboxes by using them in this way. --woodensuperman 08:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No its not. Per the link you just cited, Red links should normally be avoided unless they are very likely to be developed into articles. Red links can be retained in navigation templates that represent a well-defined and complete set of data. This meets both of those; the articles are likely to be developed (especially with the article creation campaign; improving the encyclopedia is not "abusing navboxes"), and these represent a well-defined and complete set of data that we would not want to lose. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps the odd red is okay when the majority of the links are blue, but that clearly isn't the case here, a couple of blue links in a whole sea of red. It's not providing a navigation function, the sole purpose of a navbox. --woodensuperman 15:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I still think it provides worth for navigation, e.g. if I was a reader, and if I was looking up Chris Casey (current coach) and wanted to know, "are there any other George Fox coaches with articles", I'd look at the navbox and find Earl Craven. And I'd also be informed of the rest of the team's coaching history. Perhaps the odd red is okay when the majority of the links are blue, but that clearly isn't the case here – I'm not seeing any policy stating that? All that is required is that (a) there is a good probability of the coaches getting articles – which there is, due to the coach article campaign, that exists because of these useful navboxes, or (b) it is a complete set of well-defined data that we want to have – also check.
