 * Infobox Cardiff electoral ward

As with Templates for discussion/Log/2013 August 17; if and when the three councillor parameters are added to Infobox UK place, this template will become redundant. Presently, there are no corresponding parameters for and. The template can otherwise be substituted as follows:

 * Infobox comedian awards
 * Infobox actor awards

Propose merging Template:Infobox comedian awards with Template:Infobox actor awards.

Similar templates with overlapping parameters. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:11, 15 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. These are functionally quite disparate. Infobox comedian awards is used as a module of Infobox person in comedians' articles to list recognisable awards. The latter is meant to provide a complete listing of an actor's awards and nominations, and is shown on "List of awards and nominations received by X" pages. Both infoboxes should be renamed to avoid confusion; Infobox comedian awards could be moved to Infobox entertainment awards or similar to encourage its use in actor articles, if that's desirable. Alakzi (talk) 13:00, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose Just to flesh out one of the points made above: to feature only the number of wins/nominations for each type of award is reductive and unhelpful. While the actor awards template has an admirable number of awards that aren't available in the comedian awards template, it does not in itself offer any useful information, and so is incomporable in its function. JamKaftan (talk) 00:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per Alakzi's comment; Infobox comedian awards should be moved to Infobox entertainment awards. The template is also, and perhaps more commonly, used in articles of film crew members. Lapadite (talk) 09:21, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox Torchwood audio book (5 transclusions)
 * Infobox Doctor Who audio book (24 transclusions)

Propose merging Template:Infobox Torchwood audio book with Template:Infobox Doctor Who audio book.

Same fictional universe; similar parameters. (Or is there a more generic audio book template, into which both should be merged?) Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:07, 15 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Add and  to  Infobox Doctor Who audio book and redirect. Alakzi (talk) 17:14, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Do audio books have pages? Do we need ASIN, which is proprietary, when we have ISBNs?  Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:28, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I thought they'd be the corresponding pages in the novel, or something. Yeah, we probably we don't need ASIN. Anyway, neither parameter is used in any article. Alakzi (talk) 17:37, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It would seem that Infobox book would do the job, with the addition of featuring, formats & length, and using set_in for set_between - if indeed that is used anywhere. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:50, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how I feel about lumping audio books together with books. formats would likely be abused to display "paperback" and "hardback" or somesuch, and length might be confused with pages. Do audio books frequently merit a stand-alone article? Alakzi (talk) 15:22, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * So rename the params to audio_formats and audio_length. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:33, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, that seems bleeding obvious in retrospect. I'm gonna blame it on coffee abstinence, or something. Alakzi (talk) 15:41, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Another option may be to merge with Infobox audio drama. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:36, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge with Infobox audio drama, per the discussion above. Alakzi (talk) 18:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * delete after replacing with infobox book (I have replaced the Torchwood template in Hidden, In the Shadows, Everyone Says Hello, The Sin Eaters, and Ghost Train). Frietjes (talk) 18:38, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * and a few sample replacements of the Doctor Who template:      Frietjes (talk) 18:59, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox UK Bus Corridor (5 transclusions)
 * Infobox bus line (532 transclusions)

Propose merging Template:Infobox UK Bus Corridor with Template:Infobox bus line.

Similar purposes; the "corridor" template is simply for multiple, overlapping, bus routes. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:58, 15 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Infobox bus line is gonna have to be reshuffled; it makes no distinction between route and route number. Alakzi (talk) 13:09, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * merge Frietjes (talk) 17:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox London River Services (32 transclusions)

Variously redundant to Infobox water transit, Infobox pier, Infobox company, etc. The lower part should be remade as a navbox, at the foot of the relevant articles. We don't need a separate infobox for each city with a navigable river. See also Infobox consolidation. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:48, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. These seem to be easily replaceable by Infobox pier and Infobox water transit. Alakzi (talk) 17:00, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. I swapped this for Infobox Water transit on Woolwich Ferry and the sky didn't seem to fall. Ritchie333 (talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  17:17, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ambivalent but open to persuasion. I take the point about shifting some info to a navbox and this seems like an acceptable solution. The original idea of this infobox was to have something corresponding to the style used on Tube stations, as this is a parallel TfL service. Tube stations now use Infobox London station; while the trend now is for infoboxen to be very minimalist and low on branding, they do bear a dinky wee  Tube roundel which is a nice touch. My main concern with a switch to Infobox water transit would be to retain a basic   London River Services indicator - which can be easily achieved, as demonstrated by my most recent small edit to Woolwich Ferry. If we can agree that this would be an acceptable adjustment then I could possibly countenance the loss of Infobox London River Services. Cnbrb (talk) 19:40, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't mind the little icon, personally. Perhaps we could add a field for it in the template, like we've got in Infobox station. Alakzi (talk) 19:44, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Now added. Alakzi (talk) 18:33, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I've replaced all transclusions. LRS operators are included in Transport in London, so there's no need to convert it to a navbox. Alakzi (talk) 15:29, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

I have nominated Allistair Chestnut for deletion, as it is not Wikipedia-notable, and will most likely be deleted, leaving effectively only two articles to navigate between, making this template, in my opinion, unnecessary. Lachlan Foley (talk) 11:34, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
