Not conducive to collegial discussion when used, as recently on article talk pages. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:11, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep clearly sets expectations for the participants in any discussion involving infoboxes. You'll have to define what you mean by "collegial discussion" though, I don't see much of what I understood by that term. Also, for future reference, "pages" is a plural. Yomangani talk 16:27, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * &lt;del&gt;, only used for . Br'er Rabbit (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "discussions" is also a plural. Yomangani talk 22:38, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've no doubt that you'd find another to use it in ;> Br'er Rabbit (talk) 23:26, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, per the wide latitude traditionally offered to users to manage their user space as they see fit. Satirical template in userspace. Has it ever been placed on an article? Surely not. It is unbecoming in you, Br'er Rabbit, to toss around words like "trolling" and so lightly; you of all people surely know they're the last resort of people who've run out of arguments. If "trolling" (by wiki tradition defined as making IDONTLIKEIT points), or humorous/satirical userspace templates, are outlawed, who among us shall escape calumny? Not you nor me, that's for sure. Don't make me adorn your own talkpage with , now. Bishonen &#124; talk 23:10, 20 September 2012 (UTC).
 * They're both brand new, the original specifically created to make a WP:POINT in the infobox “Talk:Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” I linked to, where tehy don't like tehm ;) I've no real problem with it in user space, but it's intended to attack talk pages. Br'er Rabbit (talk) 23:26, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "Brand new"? How do you mean? The template was created in February 2012. Specifically in order to make a point in a talkpage section started three days ago? Bishonen &#124; talk 23:38, 20 September 2012 (UTC).
 * I was prolly looking at the history of the second version twice ;) Should I trout Andy for drawing all this attention to the heels-dug-in over excluding a useful infobox? Br'er Rabbit (talk) 02:02, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * , but an incorrect fact gels quite nicely with your erroneous assumptions about my motives. Yomangani talk 23:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've noted your good humour in the past; may have said so, too. This seems drama-minded to me… Br'er Rabbit (talk) 02:07, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you are being humorous now. Trying to add drama to an infobox "discussion" would be like pissing in the ocean to keep it topped up. Yomangani talk 10:05, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, but use sparingly. Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:51, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't intend to use it again. Stony ground on one side, thorny on the other. Yomangani talk 00:20, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I, on the other hand intend to keep on using, specifically created to assault users with wooden slats and several hundredweights of dried fish, as often as it becomes necessary. Just sayin'. Templates such as these, and the Yoman's, have the potential of being more helpful to Wikipedia than some of you may realise.  darwin bish  BITE 00:48, 21 September 2012 (UTC).


 * Striking out Darwinbish's comment. This is one of many namespaces she's not allowed to post in. A short block might be appropriate. Bishonen &#124; talk 00:54, 21 September 2012 (UTC).


 * Keep. Harmless, not mean, in user space. Also funny, when read with the appropriate attitude. Indeed, I would say it's extremely useful, because if you don't think it's funny, you're probably approaching the infobox discussion with the wrong attitude.  It's sort of like a Zen koan (or my clueless Western non-Zen understanding of what a koan is for) ; everyone should be required to re-read the notice over and over until they finally think it's funny, and then they'll approach the discussion in a better mindset. Enlightenment. Also, I don't know Yomangani well, but I'm familiar enough with his work to know that accusing him of trolling makes the accuser look slightly silly. Please rethink that. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:22, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Reasonable leeway for a productive contributor.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 15:51, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per User essays. Not that it's required since the page is in user space, but I think enough Wikipedians hold the same view to where the page(s) could qualify for an essay placed in the project namespace. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Floquenbeam. -- Klein zach  23:54, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
