Template:WikiProject History of photography

 * 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 merge to Template:WikiProject Photography as per standard task force protocols, making sure that extant uses of this template will display the proper end template until it can be subst'd and deleted (i.e. turn it into a wrapper). Primefac (talk) 00:22, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * WikiProject History of photography
 * WikiProject Photography

WikiProject History of Photography is now a task force under WikiProject Photography, the template for which currently can (and should, if merged) include a link to that task force.
 * Propose merging Template:WikiProject History of photography with Template:WikiProject Photography.Qono (talk) 01:02, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep separate. Merging of WikiProject History of photography with WikiProject Photography will unnecessarily submerge the specific interest in historical records of the medium within the vast array of technical interests that occupy most photography articles. History of Photography is a distinct discipline, whereas 'Photography' is a generic. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and serves its reference purposes best by preserving distinct categorisations. There are numbers of editor/contributors to History of Photography who I find are unaware of this proposal for merger and more time should be given to alert them to it. Jamesmcardle(talk) 23:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * This is a proposal to merge the templates, not to merge the different initiatives. The specific interest in historical records is maintained in the History of Photography task force, and the WikiProject Council's Guide to Task Forces states "Task forces will generally not have their own talk page banners; instead, they are integrated directly into the parent project's banner via an optional parameter." This is already the case. The History of Photography task force is integrated in the Photography WikiProject banner, and so a separate banner is not needed. Qono (talk) 02:34, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * comment: What would be the advantage of merging the templates? --Angerdan (talk) 18:13, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The advantages are to avoid the redundancy and clutter of listing the History of Photography twice on talk pages (in its own template and in the Photography template) and to comply with the recommendation of the WikiProject Council's Guide to Task Forces, which states "Task forces will generally not have their own talk page banners; instead, they are integrated directly into the parent project's banner via an optional parameter." Qono (talk) 22:07, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * reply : Qono,, will merging the templates still permit the tagging of articles "WikiProject HOP". I assume use of Category 'History of Photography" on article pages remains? Those are my main concerns...keeping history of photography distinct and available as a category and as a distinct project. Thank you for expertise on templates, the administrative structure of which is still obscure to me...forgive my ignorance, but ""Task forces will generally not have their own talk page banners; instead, they are integrated directly into the parent project's banner via an optional parameter." is gobbledegook to me. Jamesmcardle(talk) 05:16, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * After merging, pages can still be tagged "History of Photography", it would just be done within the WikiProject Photography template. This is what the recommendation you quoted is talking about. All you have to do is add "|history=yes" (this is the "optional parameter" mentioned) to the WikiProject Photography template tag for any articles falling under the "History of Photography".


 * So, addressing your main concerns:
 * The "History of Photography" category on article pages would be unaffected by this change.
 * The "History of Photography" category and project would both remain distinct and available.


 * I hope that clarifies! Wikipedia administration can certainly be obscure, and I've had to do some digging to figure all of this out. Thanks for getting involved! Qono (talk) 14:59, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation, Qono and for link to the WikiProject Photography template. That understanding makes the effect of this merging of templates clearer and eases my concerns, I will just have to get used to a new routine in adding the parameter..., therefore I Support--Jamesmcardle(talk) 23:27, 15 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Support If it's now a task force, then it should share a banner template. This reduces "clutter" on talk pages so you don't have two banners effectively for the same thing. S EMMENDINGER  ( talk ) 18:31, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hang on S EMMENDINGER ...'Photography' and 'History of Photography' are not the same thing...as photographer-contributors to technical articles make so abundantly clear in their claims to having 'invented' a certain technique, so many need to familiarise themselves with the History of their medium. Let's hope this merger might in some way encourage that!--Jamesmcardle(talk) 23:32, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Apologies if I was unclear, I do not think they are the same thing. I'm strictly referring to their shared space on this site as both now exist under the same WikiProject home page. Since they share a WikiProject landing site their banner should reflect that fact. S EMMENDINGER </b> (<b style="color:#F80"> talk </b>) 23:47, 15 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Support since now a task force. Jason Quinn (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

 * 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 no consensus. If someone wants to merge it, they are welcome to, but note that this action would not be as a result of this TFD. Concerns about such a merger should be discussed on the template's talk page.

 * comment: it is being used in Nazi Germany. Frietjes (talk) 15:36, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, but merge: It is supposed to be merged with Template:Nazi Germany occupations in accordance with earlier decision. Chicbyaccident (talk) 19:59, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I've contacted the closer about that, as it seems strange to merge to this template when all participants in the previous discussion agreed that this one should be deleted! -- wooden  superman  13:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
