 * WikiProject Boats

There is no "boat project" The template was previously redirecting to WikiProject Ships until I removed the redirect. Wikiproject ships has had no consultation for a redirect from the nonexistent "boat project". Brad (talk) 23:23, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that I created the redirect a) to ensure that somebody typing wikiproject templates by hand does not get red links and b) because, in my opinion, boat and ship are near enough synonyms. Brad, how are "not all boats under the scope of WikiProject Ships"? As an aside, as this was always meant to be a redirect, shouldn't this be at WP:RFD?

 * Comment boats are water vehicles smaller than ships, and are thus not covered by WPSHIPS. There has been a proposal to create a WPBOATS, but it was shot down by WPSHIPS, as being not defining (smaller than that handled by WPSHIPS, is apparently not defining, which seems to mean that WPSHIPS itself is undefined) So boats and other watercraft are handled by WP:TRANSPORT's Maritime task force (which actually covers more than just stuff at sea...) so, while some "boats" are covered by WPSHIPS (particularly, many gunboats, and most submarines), other boats are covered by WP:TRANSPORT or some other project (ie. WP:SAIL) 76.65.128.132 (talk) 08:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Interproject politics, eh? How fun. Why not just go WikiProject Maritime Vessels and get it over with, keep everything under scope. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:50, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Using a restrictive definition of "maritime" shows that would only cover sea or ocean going vessels, since it would not cover lake or river going... so perhaps "aquatic transportation" ? It would match WP:AVIATION and WP:SPACEFLIGHT in scope. Sounds like a good idea to me. Try proposing it at WP:COUNCIL. It could then expand on WP:TRANSPORT's maritime TF (which itself is a merger of WP:Maritime Trades and WP:Ports)... so it can accurately cover vessels, jobs, equipment, ports, canals, companies, technology, science, people. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 07:19, 31 December 2011 (UTC)


 * There has been a lot of conversation over defining the difference between ship and boat but nothing solid could be determined. For purposes of the Ships Project a Scope was compiled. The real point here is that no "boat" project exists nor should a template be created for a non-existent project. Brad (talk) 06:33, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Melanie Amaro

Not enough articles linked to make this navigational template necessary. Not everything needs a navbox! – anemone projectors – 15:28, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Me2day

Rarely used linking template, links don't appear necessary. The Evil IP address (talk) 09:56, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: People might not know it exist so I'll post about it on WikiProject Korea. Jae ₩on ( Deposit ) 16:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I found a big list of articles linking to Me2day but not using the template. I'm getting contributors to start using them. Jae ₩on ( Deposit ) 18:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: same as Jay2kx. Also many of K-pop artists are using Me2day.--Lpmfx (talk) 19:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Inactive bot

This template is only used by a couple bot bot pages and is duplicative of the more widely used and accepted template, Bot. If the logic is deemed to be needed or useful it should be added to the Bot template. Kumioko (talk) 00:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge since bot is missing the date parameter. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 04:30, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
