This template was copied from the Template:Wildlife of India template, and the links still point to India-related topics. Simple editing could make this template useful, if only the named articles existed for Norway, but for the most part, they do not. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:34, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Remove the cast, which shouldn't even be in this template, and it navigates no more than three articles. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 19:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Way too soon. Remove the cast, which shouldn't be there in the first place, and this template navigates absolutely nothing. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 19:29, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Merge, but delete redirect. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 02:08, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Template created in May that is identical to time ago, with one exception: The template does not display "ago" at the end. Compare (time ago) with  (time ago2). It isn't really necessary to have the removal of "ago" as a separate template. I'm proposing redirection of time ago2 to time ago and the incorporation of time ago2's function as a parameter of time ago cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 01:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support feature merge - Yes, this is a vote, but the vote itself is all I really have to say, apart from the redirect.— <font color="Green">Dæ <font color="Blue">dαlus + <font color="Green">Contribs 02:37, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge, but delete redirect. Since the template is fairly new, and considering its title, a redirect would be useless. Simply update the few links manually. Reh  man  08:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge, per nom. --vgmddg (look &#124; talk &#124; do) 23:12, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Largest cities of the United States
 * Largest Metropolitan Areas of the United States

Propose merging Template:Largest cities of the United States with Template:Largest Metropolitan Areas of the United States.

I think we can capture all the data in one template. There is no need to have 2 different templates with such a similar scope and different data. Its confusing.

 * Delete per nom - Although being metropolitan (more urban/economic) is not the same thing as been largest (by size/population). It is still confusing to have two templates that serve almost the same purpose. <font face="Papyrus">Farjad <font color="Purple">0322 <font color="Cerise">(talk&#124;sign&#124;contribs) 22:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge, as said above, it's confusing to have two templates with nearly the same purpose. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 14:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge, per above.  Reh  man 09:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge as duplicative, can be consolidated. --Bsherr (talk) 20:32, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I repaired the TfM tags on the templates, which were broken or inadequate. Please relist this discussion to provide a fair opportunity for interested users to comment. --Bsherr (talk) 20:32, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge so long as the discrete information of metropolitan areas versus cities is preserved. While a single template will likely see more use (and is thus to be preferred), metropolitan area can be a more practical measure than legal city limit and the merged template should provide both datasets.
