October 5

Template:Deprecated template

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Merged and redirected (as creator). The template was intended to be used while pages are transitioned to the newer dated system with more flexible syntax. I've replaced that with a tracking category and rather complex ParserFunctions to switch between syntaxes, since the simpler method is apparently undesireable. // Pathoschild (/map) 18:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep Many StarTrekk fans, such as myself, see Earth as a planet which will eventually adhere to the United Federation of Planets. So the category is something of an avantgarde really. Other Wikipedians might also use it to assert their cosmopolitanism. RedZebra 21:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with Star Trek, humor, etc., but of the few rules for infoboxes, one is being violated here. One may argue for a rule change, otherwise this would have to go. Xiner 00:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep it's useful as an alternative to national place-of-origin templates for people that are or identify themselves as stateless person --Lino Mastrodomenico 23:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Keep Many user boxes are added pointlessly and as jokes, this is no exception. Cbrown1023 23:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I have no problem with humor, pan-planetism, etc., so please don't make judgments. I'm just saying that of the few rules for infoboxes, one is being violated here. One may argue for a rule change, or this would have to go. Xiner 00:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
