Template was moved because of incorrect naming. Not likely to be used for anything else.. Green Giant (talk) 10:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, unused redirect. Best listed at WP:RFD next time, methinks. — xDanielx  T/C\R 08:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Broken, unused template with no context for what its purpose is supposed to be.. Collectonian (talk) 08:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, looks like someone made a copy of Template:InuYasha characters with the intent of using it as the structure for a new template.. but then didn't get around to changing the contents. --Stormie (talk) 03:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary; see Sonic characters and any associated list articles. –Pomte 08:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep. John254 04:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

This linking system no longer works. Nintendo has redesigned its page. All pages for systems older than DS and Wii have been removed and the new pages that remain have different links. There is no way this template could be used to link to these new pages since the urls are just random characters instead of the game's name. — User: (talk • contribs • count • [ logs ]) 05:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Since all the links need to be updated anyway, it seems to me that the template can stay, just account for the new URL format, i.e. have  where  consists of those "random characters" for a particular game. –Pomte 06:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked into it, but conditional keep provided the template can be adjusted and the links updated. If the new format doesn't have a set structure, please let me know.  Pagra shtak  06:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep on the condition that the template can be adjusted. --Son (talk) 17:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep If not linking to the Nintendo page, maybe the link can go somewhere else on the internet with equivalent information. Lord Metroid (talk) 12:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've temporarily adjusted the template to point to the Internet Archive's archive of the page for now. There are two feasible options that I can see:
 * Leave this template pointing to the Internet Archive, hunt down any broken links (Special:Linksearch is handy) not using the template and convert them over to it, and then create a new template (Template:Nintendo.com2 or something) for the new links. or
 * Remove all current transclusions, hunt down and remove any broken links, and change the current template to use the new link structure. --- RockMFR 16:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep — Move Template:Nintendo.com to Template:Nintendo.com-archive (or something to that effect), then replace all current transclusions of nintendo.com with nitendo.com-archive, having them point to the Intenet Archive, and then change Template:Nintendo.com to reflect Nintendo.com's new URL format. We should also hunt down any broken links not using the template(s) and convert them over to it, just like RockMFR said. Taric25 (talk) 20:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep with RockMFR's suggestions. Also, someone should contact Nintendo and tell them that their website is not some little self-contained entity, this is the world wide web, so breaking all their links is utterly stupid. JACO  PLANE  • 2007-12-19 15:58
 * Amen to that! Taric25 (talk) 22:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And to not take down interviews that were valuable sources for Wikipedia...  Pagra shtak  00:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
