Template:Tltts3[edit]

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:Tltts. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:22, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Tltts3 with Template:Tltts.
Basically the same besides Template:Tltts3 allows for one more parameter then Template:Tltts We can just allow Template:Tltts to take one more parameter, no need for a separate template. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 23:39, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support merge - the templates have nearly identical functionality and nearly identical implementation. Makes sense to just edit {{tltts}} to take an (optional) third param. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 15:23, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This might break instances where the template was used but not substituted. Zazpot (talk) 19:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Zazpot: I don't think so:
{{tltts3}}: {{subst:Example|This is an example for tltts3}}
{{tltts/sandbox}}:

{{subst:Example|Parameter1|Parameter2|parmeter3}}

{{tltts}}: {{subst:Example|Parameter1|Parameter2}}
{{tltts/sandbox}}

{{subst:Example|Parameter1|Parameter2}}

  • Redirect Template:Tltts to Template:Tltts3, then WP:Move over redirect. Basically I support this, but no merge is needed, as it's basically proposed to replace Tltts with Tltts3, then rename Tltts3 to Tltts. But I'd consider this a first step toward eventually orphaning these templates, which do not comply with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility. I can assist with implementation if you need. --Bsherr (talk) 19:45, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template is designed to create wikilinks to American Horror Story character articles (e.g. List of American Horror Story: Murder House characters, American Horror Story: Asylum characters). Redundant to normal wikilinks (so TfD no.2). Harder for new editors to understand than wikilinks. No transclusions in mainspace. TedEdwards 19:06, 29 October 2018 (UTC) Btw. I've made enough redirects so that redirects as long as [[List of American Horror Story: Murder House characters#Vivien Harmon|Vivien Harmon]], for example, aren't necessary anymore, only [[Vivien Harmon]] is necessary. I'm saying this as I believe the intended purpose of the template was to make these links shorter to type. TedEdwards 19:16, 29 October 2018 (UTC) There was also a template here before that was deleted as the result of a discussion here. Looking at the source text before it was deleted (see User:TedEdwards/sandbox8), it served the same purpose as the template now, the only difference being that the old template only linked to List of American Horror Story characters, when all the character bios were there rather than at separate articles for each season. TedEdwards 15:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Would also like to point out (even tough this isn't a criteria for deletion) that the creator of this template choose a template name that doesn't make clear what it does and added no documentation. Not only is this template hard for new editors to understand, it's hard for even editors with experience and the net-gain is almost non existent. Creating a one time redirect is much more smoother. --Gonnym (talk) 20:39, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not needed in the template namespace. The module namespace I understand, but not needed as a template. The function of this can be easily done with using [[File:file|...]]. It only has 6 transclusions and was created late 2014. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 02:09, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as creator. If we're going to keep the module, we may as well keep the template. What you can do with {{file link|...}} you can just as easily do with {{#invoke:File link|main|...}}. Deleting only the template just means making people jump through extra hoops if they want to use it. As an aside, this module was made for use on the main page via Template:In the news/image, although it seems to have fallen out of favour. (Which is a shame, given how complex Template:Main page image has become.) — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:09, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I had a go at using Template:File link in Template:Main page image/sandbox to demonstrate how it can simplify the template code in complex file link templates. This is the result - note how all the {{!}} uses disappear. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:37, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Another idea I had is to replace it with a link to the file space similar to {{cl}}, I think this could be helpful for many users. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 21:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
