 * Move back to user page - this is also the first draft of Adnan Zakir, for which I've requested a history merge. I've already moved Template talk:Adnanzakir back to User talk:Adnanzakir, as it already contained user talk page posts from Hostbot, you, and now me. TMGtalk 09:47, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Tone superscript
 * I haven't watched recent developments, but is there any reason to go around rewriting modules back into template code? If Module:Tone superscript is redone like that, its code will be a bit less readable (because of the conditional), and the template will have to use Module:String anyway (so there will apparently be no gain in performance). – Uanfala (talk) 09:24, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Lua is often more human-readable than templates using complex conditional syntax. What is that harm in keeping around extra lua modules?

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Empires. Primefac (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Colonial empires with Template:Empires.
 * Colonial empires
 * Empires

The template edit history of Template:Colonial empires prooves its contentious nature, vulnerable with regards to WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH and WP:NPOV in terms of definition, scope, and inclusion. A more cautious solution would be to merge the contents with Template:Empires while adding small notes to entries listed on Template:Empires (example: Austrian Empire^) with reference to a bottom row note legend saying "Colonial empires" or such. The current link to Colonies in antiquity in the botton row of Template:Colonial empires further stresses the point, as does its exclusion of the Roman Empire (whose colonies offer precisely the etymological origin for the very English word), the Persian Empire, and the Caliphates (which arguably qualify for the criterias by means of holding overseas territories included in intercontinental tradeworks complete with slave trade, etc.). Available flags could be added to the entries on Template:Empires.

 * Support Most Empires are colonial in nature, so separating has no logic.GreyShark (dibra) 10:50, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Some of the colonial "empires" in the template (which seems to include any country which had a cross-continental colony) aren't really relevant enough to be featured in the main template, e.g. Courland or Malta. "Colonial empire" and "empire" can mean two very different things, and they have different main-space articles with different definitions. <span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">User:Axisixa [t] [c] 09:18, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
