Template talk:Television in England

Unnecessary template

In my view this template is unnecessary overkill, considering the pre-existing Template:Media in the United Kingdom, Template:Television in the United Kingdom and Template:ITV and the fact that there are no England-only TV channels.

The templates Template:Television in Scotland and Template:Television in Wales achieve little which could not be included into Template:Television in the United Kingdom (which is currently a very low quality template, but could easily be added to and improved), but already exist and at least in those cases there are a few channels which are specific to those countries only. Their existence should not be used to justify the creation of this further template. Rangoon11 (talk) 15:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

N.B. since posting the above I have discovered that there are in fact some England-only TV channels, and therefore retract my earlier comments. Rangoon11 (talk) 12:44, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

There is no England only TV channel, however their are the numerous BBC and ITV Regions, along with some minor local TV channels. Most of the channels I've removed are UK wide. -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 19:16, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

In my view the best way forward would be to merge this template into the Template:Television in the United Kingdom, together with the information currently in Template:Television in Scotland and Template:Television in Wales. One template can easily achieve what four are currently doing. Template:Television in the United Kingdom should also have the primary UK-wide channels added to it.

I agree with you, these are small templates, which can be merged. with the primary channels added to the UK template. -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 14:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Message to Rangoon 11 this is Template:Television in ENGLAND, how can you write HTV Wales????!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by GEAT BEOWULF (talk • contribs) 12:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to the Discussion page! It's very good to finally see you here! I don't fully understand your point above but I will attempt to set out my general thoughts on this template below, and perhaps we can then work towards a common ground.

Firstly, as stated above, I question the need for a 'Television in England' template at all. Template:Television in the United Kingdom already exists and, although it does not currently include the sort of detail that you have been attempting to add to this template, there is no reason why it cannot and in my view it should. Virtually all TV channels in the UK are UK-wide. I accept that there are a small number of England-specific regional ITV franchises, as well as the English BBC regions and one or two local TV channels. However these can easily be included in the 'Television in the United Kingdom' template. In my view the contents of Template:Television in Scotland and Template:Television in Wales should also be included in that template. If necessary collapsible groups can be utilised to keep things compact.

However leaving that aside, I am strongly against the addition of UK-wide channels to this template, which is not just an illogical approach but a misleading one.Rangoon11 (talk) 12:46, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from GEAT_BEOWULF, 13 May 2011

This is a template about Television in England, which is about Television in England. But some users (specially AxG, Rangoon11 and Jevansen seem that not like the existence a template about Television in England and they are always spoiling it, putting a very cut version instead which TV studios in England or BBC2 England are excluded but including HTV Wales!!!! This is about Television in ENGLAND!!!! GEAT_BEOWULF (talk) 16:25, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

This template is for requesting edits to a semi-protected page, not requesting semi protection. Requests for page protection is that way, but please note that the page will not be protected to preserve a specific version in a dispute. I suggest pursuing dispute resolution when your block expires instead. Thanks! VQuakr (talk) 19:49, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

This Template is about Television in ENGLAND!!!!, so why do I always find HTV Wales here? I've decided to delete this error. GEAT_HENGEST - 14:28 23 May 2011 (UTC)

So why do you constantly add UK wide channels? -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 18:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
