Template:Main section

 * 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).

The result of the discussion was delete. There is consensus to delete this template after replacing it with an appropriate alternative, preferably main article. There is support to edit the main article template to provide an additional parameter indicating the target is a section, but no conclusive decision; further discussion should go to Template talk:Main article. Ostensibly, this template could be used in place of main article where the target's a specific section rather than the whole article. However, itself includes functionality that automatically prettifies section links, and is widely used to link to sections. In fact, there are more uses of linking to sections, in featured articles alone, than all transclusions of this template. Given that this template's functionality is unneeded and its use clearly not preferred in practice, we should delete it, replacing its uses with ones of main article. {&#123; Nihiltres &#8202;&#124;talk&#8202;&#124;edits}&#125; 20:56, 10 January 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - unless "Main article: Article § Section" in is changed to "The main section for this topic is on the page Article, in the section Section" (which is the rendered output when using ).  These templates clearly don't have identical functionality and IMO the former section link is rather poorly specified, as it suggests that the "main section" for a topic is a "main article".  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 00:33, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Further comment: I also support deleting the template and replacing every instance of the template with a hatnote analogous to The main section for this topic is on the page Article, in the section Section.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 00:45, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The output isn't identical, but it is clearly analogous, and covers the same use cases—and main article's format is far more compact and readable (supported by the TfD mentioned earlier. Moreover, "article" vs. "section" seems a trivial distinction to make when we're referring a reader to a different article anyway. To adopt your style of example, we could say that "The main article for this section is Article" but we instead choose the more compact "Main article: Article"; equally, we can say that "The main article for this section is Article, and the relevant section in that article is Section", but it's far more compact to simply say "Main article: Article § Section". The suggestion of your further comment, substituting and deleting this template (using hatnote generically), is even worse; we should standardize hatnotes more rather than less for the consistency and ease of maintenance that the standard templates bring, and I've personally made thousands of edits to help put that into practice. {&#123; Nihiltres &#8202;&#124;talk&#8202;&#124;edits}&#125; 03:29, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Given that I dislike the section linking of, I'm inclined to replace the 4 instances of that I've added to articles with a custom hatnote if neither of my proposals are implemented.  I agree that custom hatnotes are less desirable than templated ones for the sake of uniformity, but if you want me to uniformly adopt the main article template for section linking, it needs to be changed somehow; that's just my 2¢ on the matter.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 03:37, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I'd even be okay with it just transcluding the text "Main section: Article § Section" instead of "Main article: Article § Section". The issue for me is that it says "Main article " when it links to a section of an article.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 03:54, 21 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep (and improve it so that only one link to the section needs to be specified and not the current strange way) or delete and change the Main article template. I agree with User:Seppi333. --Fixuture (talk) 07:58, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Furthermore it would also be great if the Main article template would also detect redirects that point to a section and use the term "section" in these cases (it's often good to link to a redirect instead of specifying the section as it has the more appropriate name and might develop into an article at a later point. That's just a note and not really needed though. --Fixuture (talk) 08:05, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Similar to the See section TFD, the wording of main section is entirely too verbose, and breaks the overlinking guidelines (we really don't need a link to the article and the section). Second, given that the module implementing main article automatically converts # to §, it becomes very clear that it's referencing a section (i.e. there is no SURPRISE). Third, the keep !votes have a very ILIKEIT approach, and haven't really given a objective reason to keep the template. To summarize, this is a duplicate template that is not formatted well and can easily be replaced by a better template. Primefac (talk) 15:17, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Asserting that my argument about is that I "WP:LIKEIT" for being clearer is no different than me asserting that you "WP:DONTLIKEIT" for being too verbose. I'd appreciate it if you struck your third rationale. In any event, I'm open to finding an alternative solution (other than "Keep" or "Delete") in which we make the  template "clearer" and get rid of the more "verbose"  template, since such a compromise would resolve both issues simultaneously.  Do you find any of the alternative wording options for  that I've proposed above agreeable?  "Main section: Article § Section" is clearer than the current wording and is the most succinct alternative that I've proposed here, although I'm open to considering other alternatives.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 22:13, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * A discussion was started at the module that implements main article, wherein initial thoughts are that such a change (making "Main article" read "Main section") would be impractical on multiple levels. I think for the moment, main article is going to remain unchanged, regardless of the outcome of this discussion. Primefac (talk) 01:22, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Concision is not merely a (DON'T)LIKEIT argument. The hatnote guideline supports concision in hatnotes, for example: When determining the content of the hatnote, keep in mind that it forms part of the user interface rather than the article content. Two applicable user interface design principles are clarity and conciseness. or hatnotes should generally be as concise as possible. While the guideline also supports clarity, the delete arguments here have included assertions that the differences in clarity are minimal. Moreover, even if we assume that it comes down to pure user preference, the recent TfD established clear support for the concise "§" style over the more verbose style. On the "main section" labelling issue, I invite you to participate at, where that option's being discussed independently of this deletion discussion. {&#123; Nihiltres &#8202;&#124;talk&#8202;&#124;edits}&#125; 17:07, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - It is now in use (I'd been contemplating uploading a file for some time and this is the license I'd planned to release it under; I took the leap today). It is useful for releasing a file under the requirement that it is shared under the same license without requiring it be attributed. Furthermore, this license is not forward compatible, so something released solely under it can't be released under a newer license (If someone finds a file they want to upload that is released under this license, there is no need to make it hard for them to do so). — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 16:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete per author request Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 23:46, 29 January 2017 (UTC) Unhelpful ephemara. I wrote the template as a humorous exposition on something Jimbo said on his talk page. Actually it was named Fuck off but someone moved it this name for civility. Fine, but that kind of spoils the joke, and anyway Fuck off remains as a redirect and it looks the its deletion discussion will end up with that redirect being kept. So the potential to be subtly insulting remains, I guess, so let's delete it.
 * Back away

I don't think the template has much use, or is going to be popular or much used. IFF the recipient is "in" on the joke (unlikely), she will read "Look, I feel as if our current interaction isn't helping..." and realize the person actually wrote "back away" or even "fuck off" (I believe she can look in the page history to see which? not sure), and be either amused or insulted according to her predilection. (If she's not "in" on the joke (likely), its all just a big yawn and not really useful.)

The counter-argument is that it lets someone blow off steam by typing "fuck off" (or "back away" I guess, although the steam-blowing value of that seems limited) without actually having anything insulting appear on the recipient page. Enh, that's a weak argument, and against that you have (assuming the recipient is aware of what was really written to produce "Look, I feel as if our current interaction isn't helping...") that the person might be actually insulted, and we don't need to host templates that could (theoretically anyway) actually hurt a person's feelings.

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 15:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC) This template has very little to no use in articles and is specific to just one state in India, Kerala which by large has a lesser history compared to the country as a whole. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 15:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * History of Kerala Airports


 * Yes  LeoFrank , it may be true. Kerala is a small state in India with just 300,00,000+ population. But the state is already having 3 International airports, which is highest in the country and another International airport is under construction. The state is now all set to go for its 5th International airport, which is now in land acquisition state. Another thing is, Kerala state is considering three new airport projects other than the above mentioned 5.

By the completion of these projects, Kerala will become the one and only state in India having more than 5 commercial International airports. That means the airport article links in this template will go up soon. So, even if this represents a very less populated state, this template is really relevant due to the high number of passengers and commercial airports. - Thanks. Arunvrparavur (talk) 05:07, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This alone does not justify the reason to keep this template. It is rather a need for fans than an actual requirement providing any usefulness. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:03, 2 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. I don't see the connection between these airports, other than the fact they are all located in a particular state. These types of templates exist to aid readers' navigation to other relevant articles. I don't see how a link to an airport located in some other random city in the state is useful to the reader. — Sunnya343&#9992; (háblame • my work) 04:14, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete We don't need templates for everything. Furthermore, specific articles dealing with the history of each of these airports should be created and they should be included in the template if the history of them are to be covered.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 12:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

If it's never been added in most articles, or is quite incomplete in most of the ones that do have it, then how is deleting the templates going to help? All that will do is make it much less likely the info is added into the prose of the article. Less likely, not more likely.Bluesangrel (talk) 01:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep and trim to only directing roles. NPASR if the number of links becomes an issue. Primefac (talk) 01:23, 5 February 2017 (UTC) Film choreographer's navbox?! Seems trivial linking of articles failing WP:NAVBOX. §§<i style="color:#E0115F;">Dharmadhyaksha</i>§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:49, 11 January 2017 (UTC) <div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Weak keep, but only if reduced to directing only roles per WP:FILMNAV, but with only three entries, not sure it is worthy of a navbox. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:09, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * refocus to include only the directing credits, then possibly reconsider. Frietjes (talk) 13:46, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
