This template is now obsolete. The contribs link this produces refers to Interiot's edit counter at the toolserver. Interiot's account on the toolserver is now expired and deleted, and the bot is no longer present, rendering the template useless. I submit this template to be deleted.

 * SOFIXIT: One could avoid updating all the pages that suggest it could be useful by making it useful. Update the link to use toolserver.org/~vvv/yaec or toolserver.org/~soxred93/count. (I would do this right now myself, but real life calls. If someone does not beat me to it, I will have done so by this time tomorrow.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:19, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

As a lot of other hidden page stuff has been deleted before, I don't think there should be an award template for finding a specific hidden page in the template space. Should either be deleted or moved into userspace. WOSlinker (talk) 18:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Normally I would say to userfy a personal award template, but since I support deletion of "hidden page" games from userspace whenever I see them at WP:MFD, I see no reason to push the problem from one forum to another. --RL0919 (talk) 20:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete after replacing transclusions with Infobox television episode. RL0919 (talk) 17:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

In the process of standardizing this template to look more like Infobox television episode, I noticed that there is little difference between this template and the standard. The only fields that are not in the main template are "On the next" and "On the epilogue", which do really not need to be in the infobox. I see no reason why these episodes can't use the standard.

In the process of reformatting this infobox to use Infobox television episode as the backend, I noticed that it is basically redundant to the standard. There is only one field not in the standard, which is the "final diagnosis" spoiler. The best article in the group, Pilot (House), is using the standard. I see no reason why the others should not follow this format. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 16:03, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Redundant. I never understood the necessity or importance to include the "final diagnosis". It seems to be an unnecessary spoiler that should be regulated to the plot section and not simply just sitting out in the open with no context.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  16:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Propose merging Template:·w with Template:·wrap.

Identical. Since it is widely used, it should just be turned into a redirect. Debresser (talk) 06:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * This looks like a misguided attempt to prematurely optimise by avoiding a redirect, as per Template talk:·w. That editprotected request should have been denied. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Why this proposal should be misguided, or look like anything other than what it is, I wouldn't know. The templates are almost identical, except for a minor detail which is not important to functionality, so they should be merged. Since both are heavily used, I propose a redirect. Debresser (talk) 14:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * When I said "that editprotected request", I am referring to the request which forked this template in the first place. I agree with the redirect. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 14:50, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as unnecessary. The template lists only two songs. Each song is already wikilinked from the short article. Provision of a template at this time is excessive and unwarranted. WWGB (talk) 03:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

This template is basically redundant to Infobox television episode with the exception of the addition of a morse code section. It's not clear why this is necessary to have in the infobox, however if it is of great importance, it could still be included using a different method.
