 * Infobox aqueduct navigable
 * Infobox aqueduct

Propose merging Template:Infobox aqueduct navigable with Template:Infobox aqueduct.

This should either be merged to Infobox bridge or Infobox aqueduct, but as far as I can tell it has only a few extra parameters. If it's not simple, it wouldn't be worth it, but if it is an easy change then it would be a lot simpler. Jamesx12345 23:00, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment If you have to merge then Infobox bridge is the only option, as Infobox aqueduct really refers to a large piped water supply. But do see Templates_for_deletion/Log/2009_February_9, where we have discussed before, and I don't see any new reason to change my views from then. If it ain't broke don't fix it...

 * I think merging to infobox bridge would give a much more consistent user experience. It doesn't make sense to me to discriminate between a railway viaduct and an aqueduct given the similarity of the engineering, whereas a motorway bridge is a very different proposition.

 * Interesting, a navigable aqueduct is like a canal on a bridge. I can't !vote to merge with Infobox bridge because it is not in this discussion, but if that template supports all kinds of bridges, such as rail, highway, foot, or ornamental, it could probably handle pipes and canals, as well. Maybe these could be turned into modules for use in that template. Perhaps in the "carries" part —PC-XT+ 02:38, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I oppose merging the two, one size doesn't fit all. Imveracious (talk) 17:38, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Chinese calendar
 * Chinese calendar/cycle
 * Chinese calendar/year
 * Chinese calendar/month
 * Chinese calendar/day
 * and all templates listed in Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Chinese calendar/

unused outside of a handful of user pages. incredibly complex hierarchy of templates which partially duplicates Template:Year in other calendars. I was going to convert this monstrosity to use lua, but then was wondering why I should bother if it's not going to be used. I would also support simply moving it to userspace to preserve the existing userspace transclusions and history. Frietjes (talk) 20:46, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
