The result of the discussion was do not merge. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 02:34, 24 April 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Pedigree with Template:Ahnentafel. Please see below. Chicbyaccident (talk) 22:24, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Pedigree
 * Ahnentafel
 * Comment Chicbyaccident this is used on racehorse and probably dog and cat articles. You should advertise this proposed merger in the project groups that support those types of articles. One problem is that the conversion you are proposing will need to consider if the default heading will need to be changed depending on the type of article it is being included in. Eg a racehorse does not have a "family" it has a "pedigree". -- PBS (talk) 12:26, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * do not merge, without input from WikiProject Horse racing. I could make the Ahnentafel module support the alternative parameter input, but making it generate two different output formats (to match Pedigree) would be painful. Frietjes (talk) 12:41, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * do not merge - the pedigree template is a standard look and feel for horse racing, reflecting the Jockey Club's equineline.com and any number of other sources. There's a fair of breeding jargon (eg "top(bottom) of the pedigree" "inbred 4 x 3") that reflects the standard layout) Jlvsclrk (talk) 23:07, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Do not merge as the two usages are distinct and the benefit of having one less template would be overwhelmed by the complexity of the merged result. Johnuniq (talk) 05:50, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * do not merge - per Frietjes, Jlvsclrk, and Johnuniq. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:08, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Do not merge - Trying to merge the two formats would be a nightmare. Froggerlaura  ribbit |undefined 23:10, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Procedural close. Moved to correct venue. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 20:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC) There is no correlation of the abbreviation "abm" with albums (see abm), especially when the just as simple to use album template exists.

--Jax 0677 (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 *  Keep  - Wrong venue. Additionally, "Abm" are three letters in the word "album".  This TfD is extremely similar to the 2013 RfD about Template:Cop and the 2014 RfD about Template:wprk, which I am incorporating by reference for the sake of brevity.  There are several templates like this, such as Tb which is not about tuburculosis, pot which is not about cannabis, hat which is not about headwear, etc.  WP:R does not apply as this is not an article space redirect.  WP:R does not apply as confusion is less likely to occur in other name spaces.
 * 1) "Unless a WikiProject [or anyone else, for that matter] has actually expressed interest in usurping [these redirects], I don't see [them] doing any harm."  To date, no other use for abm has been suggested at all.  Per WP:R, "If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do".
 * 2) "Alleged confusion is not very plausible at all.  So absent evidence of any harm there is no reason to delete."
 * 3) "There seems to be no evidence of confusion, just conjecture on the part of nominator, and no argument grounded in WP:R.  Laziness is the exact purpose of redirects, to be perfectly honest, and the creator of a useful redirect that saves one or two characters should be commended.  We don't delete redirects based merely on conjecture.  Someone obviously found these useful given they were created."
 * 4) "One of the lowest things one can do is steal another mans tools.  So you have no use for it.  That it's being used is good enough, and there is zero reason to take away something that has no higher use.  Such Nominators should be required to be the one to hand edit and remove any deleted tags."
 * 5) "Redirects are not only cheap but this is a redirect from and to template namespace.  That would tend to indicate to me that anyone using it is an editor rather than a general reader and they are hardly likely to get it confused.  There are lots of little abbreviated things pulled up over the years such as  or  or whatever as useful shorthand for editors."

 * Support per WP:INFOCOL User:Capankajsmilyo(Talk 14:36, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 *  Comment Oppose I am plus minus on merging into infobox award because military awards tend to be for military action of some sort, which you'd be hard press to capture correctly in a generic infobox award template. That being said, there is some merit to infobox order since order captures some military awards, however again the problem of military specific criteria emerges in that most military awards you get for having been in combat of some kind. TomStar81 (Talk) 21:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose merging – I do NOT support the merger of Template:Infobox military award with Template:Infobox award. The former template is for specific military awards like medals (see military awards and decorations), whereas the latter template is for awards such as the Academy Awards, so they are different concepts. I edit a number of articles that use Template:Infobox military award, and I find that template to be very useful. After looking at the two templates, I note that Template:Infobox military award has many parameters that do not appear in Template:Infobox award, and vice versa. Most of the Template:Infobox military award parameters display very specific wording that is highly relevant for articles about military decorations, but this particular wording is usually not suitable at all for non-military awards. Because of these concerns, I feel that it would be much better to keep these as separate templates. That way, each template can serve its specific purpose, with the parameters that are the most appropriate ones. With regard to Template:Infobox order, that is very useful for every order of chivalry, which is generally quite different than a military award like a medal, so I would NOT support the merger of Template:Infobox military award with Template:Infobox order. -- Blairall (talk) 23:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose merger - The Awards template focuses, in usage, on civilian awards ceremonies like the Grammy Awards, or the Emmy Awards where the military awards template will inherently track vastly different fields of information. Keep them separate and let them be improved to their own ends.--John Cline (talk) 23:32, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose merger - Orders and National Hero titles are very different from trophies and olympic medals.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 15:45, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Templates should not be used to store article text —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:04, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * LGBT films list lead

Comment (template creator): The relevant guideline is in : Templates should be used to store article text, as this makes it more difficult to edit the content (emphasis mine). All of the affected text was (and were previously) identical aside from the year, so the template doesn't change the article text, and standardizes the phrasing of the leads. I think this raises two questions:


 * 1) the lead text be basically identical across the List of LGBT-related films by year lists?
 * 2) And if basically identical text is deemed acceptable, is template use justified?

For question 1, I am uncertain, and have already raised this concern at. For question 2, if identical lead phrasing across articles is deemed acceptable, the templates are to standardize the text.

If this deletion discussion is in favor of removing the lead templates, do not remove them by undoing each of the edits, as a few of the edits fixed some erronious text. Instead, I can quickly remove them in a semi-automated way by changing each template to. E to the Pi times i ( talk  |  contribs ) 05:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Subst (neutral on deletion versus keeping as subst-only) as more unnecessary use of templates for article text. I was going to suggest LST-ifying, but that doesn't work when the template takes parameters, forcing a simple substitution and duplication. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 16:46, 4 April 2018 (UTC)


 * What is "LST-ifying"? E to the Pi times i  ( talk  |  contribs ) 17:03, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that is a jargony term. It means converting to use labeled section transclusion. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 17:05, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The template only takes one parameter that's important, and I can easily modify that to pre-check and fill it in. The template mainly functions through page title parsing; would that work with LST? I'm admittedly unfamiliar with LST, and am currently reading the page to try to understand it.

 * Probably would technically work, but I'd oppose it anyway on the grounds of needless pollution of articles with template coding (yes, I am aware there's a fine line between this) &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 17:37, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The thing is, I don't see this template as needless, because the leads are all identical, and standard phrasing is not necessarily negative for a set of lists because lists are defined based on fixed criteria; my opinion is if the leads are not customized, the template is a recognition of that. This is not the exclude future variation if it has a point (e.g. "the 60's were a time when LGBT related film releases began to increase in frequency, and were defined by X and Y.) Even with variation, this template could simply serve as a basis for standardizing the lists' inclusion criteria.

 * I have two related but distinct beliefs here. 1: Templates should not be articles -- no text that can be stored in mainspace should be stored in templates 2: Articles should not be templates and should not contain markup like or . Given that the leads of the lists are not exactly identical (some numbers change), it is impossible to satisfy both of these goals without duplicating the text.  &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 20:27, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

I suspect it may come down to a difference in values then. #1 makes sense as a general rule, but I think specific exceptions can be made, and I think this case warrants an exception. I completely agree with #2. I'm unsure what you meant when you said "Given that the leads of the lists are not exactly identical (some numbers change), it is impossible to satisfy both of these goals without duplicating the text." By those beliefs, wouldn't you still oppose the use of templates even if the leads were (hypothetically) completely identical, because of belief #1? Also, I suspect I already know the answer, but what is the rationale for belief #1? E to the Pi times i ( talk  |  contribs ) 13:29, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes. Were the leads completely identical, I would !vote LST-ify. To the second question, that belief is an extrapolation from the relevant paragraph of WP:TMPG quoted above. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 19:02, 5 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep (Template creator): After reviewing the history of that guideline, I continue to think this template should be kept. The template is an extrapolation of all the leads being functionally identical. I don't find the triviality of the different years, which prevents LST, as a convincing argument for preventing template transclusion. I think the template should be kept unless the specific list have custom phrasing (I gave a potential example above in the collapsed part); I see no reason for allowing divergence in the criteria or grammer to occur within individual list articles. However, I recognize that I am biased in favor of my own template. Because I want to understand the general consensus on this issue, I have notified those who participated in the most recent discussion on the scope of templates at Wikipedia talk:Template namespace. you are welcome to reply to this comment.

 * Delete - This is a misuse of the template namespace to store what amounts to an extremely narrow bit of article text. If editors wish to keep this text consistent, it should be done in other ways. This use sets a bad precedent for other lists which group topics by year. In theory, the slippery slope could extend not only to list leads but other parts of the page as well. SUBST it. Kill it. With fire. -- Netoholic @ 20:59, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Just a note on your "If editors wish to keep this text consistent, it should be done in other ways" comment, this is the most viable on-wiki way to maintain this. I suppose a bot task could check the article text across articles and report on it, but it would be more difficult to maintain, and overall ensure less consistency.

 * You're attempting to use a template to make one particular line of text conform across several article. I think you need to remember that this is a wiki. If people change the line on one particular list, then maybe its a reasonable change. You should not be putting barriers up. -- Netoholic @ 09:43, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with the text being changed; this is a wiki after all. What I do see as problematic is non-specific changes to a particular list, i.e. unrelated to the list's year or decade, because these changes be treated as proposed changes to the set of lists' criteria. Currently, the lead text reads "This is a list of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender-related films released in year or decade. It contains theatrically released films that deal with important gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender characters or issues and may have same-sex romance or relationships as a plot device." If someone wanted to, for example, remove the word "important", it wouldn't make sense for that one individual article's criteria to be inconsistent with every other article.


 * Regarding the argument that "You should not be putting barriers up.", this "barriers purpose is to ensure list criteria consistency across as set of related pages, as I elaborated in the previous paragraph. It does make it more difficult to edit the content, but no one has proposed individualized phrasing for the leads. Even a new editor could likely figure out the basics of template transclusion by trial-and-error. They may not be able to edit the template text, but they could probably figure out to delete and replace the template transclusion for an individualized phrasing, and that could be evaluated as appropriate. There are plenty of other things new editors cannot edit if they don't understand template transclusion like navboxes and sidebar formatting; unless you have an individualized format to recommend for the list leads, I am of the opinion they should be in templates for cross-article consistency.

 * Keep I don't have a problem with templates being used for consistency of (small) amounts of article content in this manner; I don't feel that it contravenes the principle of the guidelines. I'm not convinced that the text needs to be identical and invariant between lists in this manner, but I don't have a problem with it being the case so long as further context could be added — for example (with ‡‡ added here to make the divide between the template text and the additional context more obvious for this discussion):
 * In nearly 14 years of editing Wikipedias, I had never heard of labelled section transclusion; I'm not sure that's as editor-friendly, particularly for people using VisualEditor and I don't have objections to both technologies (Templates and LST) being used in different places. Certainly LST feels like a much greater barrier than template transclusion, which is handled pretty elegantly in VisualEditor. I don't personally feel that the distinction between article content being in template space is quite so black-and-white as some editors believe. — OwenBlacker (talk; please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 17:59, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting use of the ‡. Presumably it would not be formatted in red text if it was included in the article? I've never seen ‡ used in that way, could you provide an example where it is? If separation is desirable, I think a simple paragraph break would suffice for separating the boilerplate criteria text from the more specific significance.

 * Subst and delete to enable each article to be edited independently. -- wooden  superman  11:33, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. An ill-suited technical deep-level editing of conventional list articles which should be avoided for the convenience of any common editor passing by. Chicbyaccident (talk) 23:11, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see a better way to maintain consistency across articles, and I agree that consistency is beneficial. I have voted in favor of forcing substitution of similar templates so each article can establish it's own standards and document standards at the time of list creation. Across multiple articles, I think this is a good practice and agree with WP:TG. However, I consider all the lists linked from List of LGBT-related films by year to be essentially one article with one set of inclusion standards broken up in summary style. (I think all the talk pages should redirect to Talk:List of LGBT-related films by year as well.)
 * The likely alternative seems to be labeled section transclusion. The only difference experienced by the reader is whether the lead will mention the date, which won't be possible labeled section transclusion. This seems like a loss for the reader due to technical limitations we're imposing for supposed ease of editing. Thus I think this is a reasonable case of WP:IAR.
 * If the decision is to delete, we could merge the template into List of LGBT-related films by year inside onlyinclude tags. It's a bit of a hack, and probably less editor-friendly, but it might satisfy those determined to move article text out of the template namespace. Ping me if you need help with this.
