Template:UsernamePolicy

 * 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. (non-admin closure) TheTVExpert (talk) 16:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC) This template is used in only two pages, Username policy, where it is a summary box, and Request an account, where it is essentially a snapshot of the username policy. I'm proposing to substitute it into Wikipedia:Username policy and then transclude it into Wikipedia:Request an account using a Help:Labeled section transclusion. The template is not so big as to be disruptive to substitute into the policy, the policy is where it is most likely to be edited, and this will remove an unneeded extra layer for users wishing to edit it.

 * UsernamePolicy
 * Keep it seems like an over-complicated solution to a problem that doesn't exist; new users probably shouldn't edit it anyway, regular users will find no problem. --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 11:06, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's the use of the template that is the overcomplicated solution. A labeled section transclusion is much simpler, making it easier to edit, has the benefit of consolidating talk pages by design, and is technically more efficient too. --Bsherr (talk) 15:54, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I disagree: a template (familiar to most) is simpler than labeled section transclusion (known to only a select few). --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 16:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep It's in use, and not hurting anything. If you're concerned that it's difficult to edit, go stick VTE in the header instead. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 21:50, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was trying to avoid the need to do that entirely, since it only appears on two pages. --Bsherr (talk) 15:49, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per ACN and Mrjulesd. I've added a vte in the footer (someone smarter than I may be able to figure out how to get it into the header...). --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 02:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep with vte, addressing the nominator's concern without replacing a purposefully used MediaWiki core feature by extension-specific intricate syntax. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Template:Renaissance music manuscript English sources

 * 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:English Virginalist School. Primefac (talk) 01:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Renaissance music manuscript English sources with Template:English Virginalist School.
 * Renaissance music manuscript English sources
 * English Virginalist School

The virginal books are such an important part of the English Virginal school that I had already put them in the "English Virginalist School" template. It seems pointless to have the exact same information in the "Renaissance music manuscript English sources" one as well.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, TheTVExpert (talk) 15:22, 19 June 2020 (UTC) As regards "Parthenia", although currently listed among the manuscripts, this collection is not a manuscript, and is significant as a printed book. For that reason, I would support merging the manuscripts template with a template which would not exclude printed keyboard music. The English Virginalist School template proposed seems OK to me.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 21:30, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
