Transitional template which uses German language parameters. Redundant to {{tl|infobox building}}, but not worth merging.

'''Oppose'''. Firstly, this greatly increases the workload of translation, because, for every article on German castles, of which there are many, the infobox would have to be laboriously and repetitively translated as well. This template greatly accelerates the operation, automatically translating much of the text. This may not mean much to others, but to the small band of translators it's a major time-saver, allowing effort to focus on the meat of the article and more articles to be transwikied in less time. Secondly, the recommended template does not have all the parameters required - e.g. for type of construction, typ of occupant (e.g. ducal seat, clergy..,) or condition. We should keep this template until the majority of articles are transwikied and perhaps convert the infobox with the aid of bots. It's a massive help. --] (]) 12:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Template:Infobox outlying island

Template:Infobox outlying island (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Low-use template which substantially duplicates {{infobox island}} in purpose but lacks much in the way of compatibility. Recommend that it is either subclassed and then substituted or that the existing transclusions are manually updated to use the more widely-used template.

This nomination is joined by the others:

and also by the main template because it is deficient in coverage and is again a listing of cast:

This template offers nothing that is not present at the article for this television program. It's essentially redundant to the article page, which has far greater and informative detail. The category was created along with this list and is only a listing of celebrity dance participants. Cast listing templates are not useful. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete all. It is inappropriate to tag people, typically actors, with navigation boxes specific to an individual role. Such people typically will have many roles over their careers and such an approach would have about a hundred navboxes at the foot of someone such as Laurence Olivier.
