Template talk:The WB

Not just "The WB"?
If the page has just been The WB for however long, and that's how the template is titled in the structure, what's stopping this from just being "Template: The WB"?--CreecregofLife (talk) 03:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Template:The WB Television Network → Template:The WB – If the page has just been The WB for however long, and that's how the template is titled in the structure, what's stopping this from just being "Template: The WB"? I get that it's a defunct network, but I feel like this should've been done a while ago. Why aren't the article and the template in sync? CreecregofLife (talk) 16:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Template names don't appear on the rendered page. This move would force more than 250 transcluding pages to change. (These edits would be done by either humans or bots). No benefit to readers from this rename, possibly some small benefit to people editing the articles.  EdJohnston (talk) 17:17, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Changes are made that affect hundreds of pages all the time. In a lot of cases, they’re bigger. A lot of changes are made that go unnoticed by consumers. That doesn’t mean this can’t be one of them. In addition, your answer is a copypasta of your rejection of the move request that didn’t actually address a single concern regarding this inconsistency. The WB Television Network was moved to The WB in January 2014 to be consistent with The CW. The CW’s equivalent template had its move in 2016. How come this one didn’t get the same treatment CreecregofLife (talk) 21:17, 13 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Support. The template should follow the main article it is referring to. Also, the grammar here is incorrect (WP:TPN). Gonnym (talk) 07:53, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. There's no reason to title the template differently than the page it is tied to. -fuzzy510 (talk) 03:58, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
