Template talk:Timeline of telecommunications

Needed?
Was this someone's experiment, abandoned because it didn't turn out as useful as hoped? It is used in only two articles, and one of then doesn't really benefit from it, so it seems to me the whole contents could just as well go into the article that can use the information, and the template be deleted.

 * As long as it is used in more than 1 article, I think this template helps to standarize the relevant information (if it is transcluded, when something is updated in one article, it may not be updated in the second).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The first directive at Template namespace says not to use templates to put article text in more than one article, and the sixth admonishes against lists when other solutions are available. This list-formatted timeline is similar in purpose to article text or a list article, and I agree it is probably too much detail for History of communication, so I'm removing it from there and merging to History of telecommunication. -- Beland (talk) 18:07, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
