Inappropriate use of navbox. None of these are Johnny Colt albums, but rather Black Crowes or Train albums which already have sufficient navboxen of their own. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 20:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

All the portal links point to the old places. Since no-one has updated it, there doesn't seem much point in keeping it as obviously it is not needed. WOSlinker (talk) 20:36, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with the points brought up by the nominator; more than half the links are dead, and none of the portals still exist. This template hasn't been updated in years, and keeping it around is pointless. Epass (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

- Template:User TwinkleOn (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
The main thrust of this box was a graphic showing the Twinkle man urinating on a stick figure. As the Twinkle man's body was clearly a derivative work of the non-free "Calvin urinating on " graphic, the graphic had to be speedily deleted. Without the graphic, this template makes no sense, and honestly, this is a little bit beyond my comfort zone, because (A) I don't think that we should really equate "Twinkle" with "urination", and (B) urinating on vandals? Seems a little childish. SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:08, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

IMO, it looks unnecessary, redundant and unprofessional to have the infobox header, listing the article's subject, multiple times. For example, when these templates are currently transcluded on Downtown Crossing (MBTA station), the "Downtown Crossing" infobox header appears three times in a row in three different colors. If you want to have the infobox header indicate that a rail or train station serves multiple lines, a better solution is to have color boxes or symbols instead, like 14th Street – Union Square (New York City Subway) or 7th Street / Metro Center (Los Angeles Metro station). Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:42, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- I encourage you to view the discussion at User_talk:Gfoley4 on this issue. Bottom line, is that like the systems you reference, these templates follow system signing conventions. The MBTA doesn't use symbols and actually duplicated the signage for each line at a station. I understand your concerns about this and encourge you to work with those discussing this issue at his talk page, before moving to delete these templates. --Enfiladekh1 (talk) 04:59, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Keep. Replace with {{MBTA infobox header}}. Unlike those for which you provide examples for, the MBTA uses color as opposed to numbers and symbols to denote its lines. I too took part in the discussion that Enfiladekh1 refers to and agree with him. Please see this image for what we are replicating. Grk1011 (talk) 05:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC) I changed my preferred choice to redirect as this one template can take the place of the multiple templates. Grk1011 (talk) 17:09, 6 January 2011 (UTC)- Replace - One name should be added to all colors bars in each template, and for the record, Enfiladekh1 and Grk1011 are 100% correct about MBTA's color schemes. I may originate from the New York City Metropolitan Area, but that doesn't mean articles about other commuter railroad and transit systems look like thise in NYC, when they don't in real life. ----DanTD (talk) 05:25, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- To clarify DanTD, are supporting the current template or do you prefer something more like this User:Enfiladekh1/sandbox/templatetest. Personally, I think this would work as well, not giving one line precedence over the other, still looking like a MBTA sign, and less cluttered. If we can get some consensus, I'm happy to help implement this template instead.--Enfiladekh1 (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Neither. What I'm supporting is something closer to the original plan, which includes User:Gfoley4/Sandbox 2. I wish I could find the previous version with single text going through more colors, but I can't. ----DanTD (talk) 12:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- My problem with that plan was simply that signs don't look like that. Also, there would be issues where a station with more than one line does not have a name that could span both colors. Grk1011 (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Replace - There is no need for so many templates. One template with 3 parameters, title, color1 & color2 would work for all those instead. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- This would be a great idea if someone could whip one up. Grk1011 (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Done, see {{MBTA infobox header}}. -- WOSlinker (talk) 16:09, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Looks great! Thanks. Grk1011 (talk) 17:09, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Regardless of the convention at subway stations (I live in Boston myself), this is ugly and unprofessional-looking. We can do better than repeating a station name in ginormous capital letters. It looks like it's yelling at the reader. We don't have to mimic subway signage exactly. Let's come up with something better. (But yes, delete - having nothing is better than having this.) Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:42, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- I think that using these types of headers looks great at a single line stations. The only station that looks truly weird is downtown crossing (and to some here, the two line stations). Regardless of whether you like the way the MBTA signage looks, this is how they do it. Articles from the NYC Subway, to Netro North, the LA Metro, etc, try to emulate their system's "look". BUT, I think, to propose another idea, (if possible, I'm not sure how to do it,) we could split a one "line" header into two or three color columns with the name of the station across all three rows. So it only lists the name once, gives the transit lines equal "weight" and doesn't take up two much space. Thoughts? --Enfiladekh1 (talk) 20:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hence my call for a single station name going through all the colors, as was originally planned. ----DanTD (talk) 23:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Template:Animal mass death
A template linking two articles that probably both fail notability. I removed a third link because the material relevant to the template was removed from that article. As such, it doesn't navigate any better than a single wikilink in each article would, and falsely implies that there is some connection between these events that makes them a single topic. There isn't any need for this. — Gavia immer (talk) 03:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete. I personally think the linked articles are notable, but on the other hand, this template has only a few links, so delete. Rehman 15:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Template:Taxonomy/Lipotyphla
Deprecated, unused —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:47, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- The template is deprecated, yes. What's the best method for displaying the data shown on this page? The idea is to prevent accidental recreation, provide a system for checking for links to the template, and direct the client to the appropriate template. Bob the Wikipedian 03:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- If it was a 1-to-1 replacement without a change in field names, then a redirect is really all that is needed. And it the old name was widely used for a good chunk of time, keeping the redirect would be a very good idea. If the old template was split into multiple new ones... Best idea I've got is to pick one to serve as a redirect target and use #switch to sort the "wrong" ones into tracking categories for clean up. That is assuming that there is a field that would have a unique value/set of values for each of the "new" templates. - J Greb (talk) 03:40, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, it's a template that's highly likely to be used again. See, the {{automatic taxobox}} uses a large number of templates beginning with Template:Taxonomy/, and the ones presented here are some that have been used before, and likely will be referenced again. The three presented here all represent taxa which have been tossed by the wayside and split up into multiple unrelated taxa, so the message serves as a sort of disambiguation to point to the two likely needed candidates in this case. Bob the Wikipedian 06:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- I mentioned before that the template is deprecated-- it's not really deprecated in the same sense as most deprecated templates-- it serves as a disambiguation page for a highly complex template that is extremely likely to call upon it if a client types an outdated taxon name. Hope that makes a little sense. If it doesn't, consider this example. Let's say I want to create an automatic taxobox for some hypothetical taxon called "Test-30". I'd do so by typing this:

{{automatic taxobox
|taxon = Test-30
}}
Now, if the parent I set for Test-30 when I create the Template:Taxonomy/Test-30 is set to a deprecated taxon, such as "Lipotyphla", here's what happens. Ugly, yes, but the orange box in the middle tells exactly what went wrong.
I see there's an error when I set up this taxobox, so by navigating to the template's page, I can see that I need to work out for myself (by doing some research) whether Test-30 actually belongs to Erinaceaeomorpha or to Soricidae. I've set up Test-29 to reflect a proper taxonomy with Soricidae as the parent taxon instead of Lipotyphla. Here's a properly-constructed taxobox.
Does that make any sense? Bob the Wikipedian 00:23, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Template:Deprecated taxon
Deprecated, unused —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:47, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- It's not deprecated. It's regularly subst'd onto newly deprecated pages in the Template:Taxonomy/ realm. It should always be subst'd in order to get the date to display correctly. Bob the Wikipedian 03:16, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Comment I see no evidence that this deprecation template is itself deprecated. Are you confusing a template that deprecates something else as being itself deprecated by reason of it having text saying "deprecated"? 64.229.103.44 (talk) 05:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Comment doesn't this duplicates the functionality of {{Tdeprecated}}? If a date timestamp is needed, then a dated version of Tdeprecated should be created. 64.229.103.44 (talk) 05:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- To an extent, but it adds functionality such as checking for orphan taxa and eliminating the need to type out the long version of the template names, as well as being careful to place the deprecated taxon templates into a deprecated taxa category instead of a deprecated template category, allowing them to be more easily maintained by the {{automatic taxobox}} support team.

A generic rationale for any images from comics or webcomics is not appropriate, as each usage will be different and specific. A generic rationale for comic book covers for use in infoboxes is a possibility, but that already exists with Template:Comic cover rationale, meaning neither of these serves any useful purpose. As with the recent discussion on Template:ScreenshotU, images using these templates need to have useful rationales written or be deleted. J Milburn (talk) 01:36, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

- I agree it should go, but I thought there may be different arguments in its defence than for these two, and I didn't want to confuse the discussion. J Milburn (talk) 01:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete - as there is no standard allowance for single comic frames/pages/strips in NFC, there is zero need to have a standard rationale.

Redundant to {{anchor}}, except this one doesn't have the ability to create more than one anchor (if desired). Either redirect to Template:Anchor or delete Merge this with {{anchor}} (see 64.229.103.44's comment below). This template just duplicates {{anchor}}'s code. cymru.lass ⁄(background check) 00:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Keep Unlike the template Anchor, this template can emit a visible second parameter. I've never used it that way, but others might have.
- I apologise for surrounding the {{Tfd}} notice in the template with noinclude tags, but the notice and an extra line break played havoc in pages with massive usage of this template, e.g. any of the List of Latin phrases (A). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Keep does not duplicate {{anchor}}; it is closer to {{visible anchor}}... 64.229.103.44 (talk) 05:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Comment {{section}}, {{anchor}} and {{visible anchor}} should be merged. The new {{anchor}} template would take a parameter called "label" and "visible", that would print out like in the other two templates. "visible"=Y/N would mean that all parameters are printed as in "visible anchor". "label" would be a string parameter that is printed like in "section". "visible anchor" and "section" would then become wrapper templates to the new "anchor". 64.229.103.44 (talk) 05:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- That's a really good idea. I hadn't thought of it before, but it definitely makes sense. --- cymru.lass ⁄(background check) 07:11, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
