Wikipedia talk:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 May 8

Restore
I've restored Template:bbblock, while this TFD discussion was uncontested, the only editor was the nominator. I use this template all the time, it only appears less-used because it is always subst'd. I've left a note for the closing admin, feeling that with this argument this discussion would have been at least a no-consensus default keep. I am not intending to wheel war over this, and will redelete and list on DRV if requested by the closing admin. Thank you, — xaosflux  Talk  12:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The nomination was not for being unused but for being duplicated with uw-vblock. I implicitly agreed by adding no further note, as I see no use for a duplicate template. I guess _creating_ a redirect with the same name is acceptable, as you, and possibly others, may still use it, while avoiding the problem of having different contents for the same purpose (that's why I think better to recreate than simply redirect, so to avoid to revert to any previous version). As a courtesy I also warned of this discussion the TfD nominator. (I'm watching this page)- Nabla (talk) 00:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand, its just annoying for different templates to send different messages. For instance, this template describes no method of appeal via unblock or the mailing list. 00:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MBisanz (talk • contribs)
 * A redirect would fix the "lack of the old name" problem, but not the issue of some admins just wanting this (or other) versions. The block policy does not REQUIRE the use of a particular style of template.  If I'm the ONLY one who wants this I'll just userfy it, but plan to keep using it. —  xaosflux  Talk  00:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll stand by my closing. - Nabla (talk) 01:12, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * PS: I ask you to not change, or add to, mine or anyone else's closing statements. As you did on the template's talk page. - Nabla (talk) 01:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As I restored the page temporarily pending this request, I edited the page so that it would not link to a closed TFD, and tagged it's talk as to the temporary nature of the review---I did not change any of your edits. — xaosflux  Talk  04:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Templates should have different messages when admins want to say different things. What's the harm here? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
