Propose merging Template:Human hair sidebar with Template:Human hair footer.

It seems strange to have both templates duplicated on every page, as they even state that they should be kept in sync, and have almost the same content, so I am proposing merging. The nominator should have been contacted by the 'Twinkle' tool which I am using. Tom (LT) (talk) 21:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete the sidebar and keep the footer. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:06, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * keep and do not merge. The navboxes are generally useless because they are merged to monster navboxes. Christian75 (talk) 16:43, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge, which probably ends up as a delete for the sidebar after merging. --Izno (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Solar eclipse2

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was no consensus here, but there has been work elsewhere to rewrite the Solareclipse db templates, which effectively orphans both of these templates. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 20:15, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Infobox Solar eclipse2
 * Infobox Solar eclipse

Propose merging Template:Infobox Solar eclipse2 with Template:Infobox Solar eclipse.

It's unclear from the documentation of either of these why we have two templates, and it's highly unlikely that we need both. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This has already been discussed. Did you forget?Templates_for_discussion/Log/2014_December_21 It serves a valid purpose of filling in template contents from a database file. Documentation could be improved, but its lack doesn't mean its not useful. Tom Ruen (talk) 19:27, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did forget, not least because of the lack of documentation. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:02, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There's no need to rehash the debate. I support doing away with the arcane db and wrapper. The WikiProject can keep this info stored someplace "safe" and get someone to run AWB to update the articles whenever necessary. Alakzi (talk) 19:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * don't merge as nothing has changed since the last discussion. Frietjes (talk) 21:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * oppose merging - the nominator should have checked the talk page of the template :-) Oppose because no new information since last nomination (Novmeber 2014) has been given. Christian75 (talk) 16:45, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This appears to be in the process of being Luafied; see User talk:Tomruen. Alakzi (talk) 20:56, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Question: What is the status of putting the data on WikiData per the last discussion? —  11:42, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose what has changed since the last debate? I would need significant change in circumstances since then. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 18:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox New Jersey school district

Redundant to infobox school and infobox school district (currently used for both types of article). The tables of financial data should be moved into the bodies of the articles. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * refactor/split to have this template only generate the financial data information, but make sure that the financial data table is only used on district pages, and not pages about individual schools. all the remaining information can be covered by infobox school and infobox school district as suggested. Frietjes (talk) 13:50, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Refactor per Frietjes. Alakzi (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Refactor / Repurpose The informational components about the districts used in this infobox are either included or addressable in Infobox school district. The remaining financial data would stay in this infobox with the parameters overlapping with the Infobox school district stripped out. If I new then, when I created the infobox, what I know now, that's how I would have done it. Alansohn (talk) 15:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Refactor/split/repurpose per Frietjes and Alansohn's comments above. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:52, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox encounter

Overly trivial data about alleged but unproven incidents. Only twelve transclusions. Replace with Infobox person, using known_for as appropriate. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * That's probably appropriate, as in Billy Meier —PC-XT+ 08:28, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
