User:User456541/Vote Templates Project


Just like User:User456541/votes, the user is encourage a project to make voting templates which is against consensus and has been against consensus for a long time. Such projects should be discouraged. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: they have no useful purpose other than to self-promote the edits of whoever uses them (over the then bland posts of those who do not). They're of use where visual identification is important—for instance if there's a language barrier, but, this being en-wp that's not a particular concern.More broadly, it's probably worthwhile reminding —if they're not already aware of it—that we draw a distinction between being WP:HERE and WP:NOTHERE. Now, for someone who claims on their user page that I am a simple user who wants to revert vandalism, their so-far 29 edits to mainspace is not a particularly reassuring figure indicating that they fall into the former rather than the latter. Unless this is a clean start account (in which case we should probably seek reassurances that the earlier account wasn't equally obsessed by !voting templates), User:user456451 has been here less than eight weeks and focussed on almost nothing other than these !voting templates. Indeed, 5 out of 8 of their user pages are devoted to the theme. ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong delete or speedy G4. Similar problem to WP:SIGIMAGE: unnecessary strain on server space. Using such templates would be useful if everyone used them (like at Meta), but community consensus is that they should not be used as it makes some nonvote things like AfD look like voting. — python coder   (talk &#124; contribs) 16:57, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and if we have to keep dealing with these pages at MFD we should consider dealing with them at ANi. This user should go build an encyclopedia not worry about backend infrastructure stuff at the beginning of their editing career. Legacypac (talk) 17:24, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * +1  ——  SerialNumber  54129  17:28, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - I was going to say Neutral until I reviewed the performance argument, which is reason enough to discourage the use of these templates. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:51, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per Legacypac - this is getting disruptive. CoolSkittle  (talk) 20:02, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - There are valid reasons to this but so far none have been provided and I'm certainly spilling the beans here, Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 20:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * delete per prior consensus Hhkohh (talk) 16:33, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
