Redirect to preserve for archives and history. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 03:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment how does redirecting preserve archives and history? It only keeps a link blue. --TheJosh 04:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Because if someone sees a link to it on a talk page somewhere, they can look back at the history and see what was being talked about on the talk page. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 04:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Although most of these historic conversations are about the conversion of all aussie location templates to Infobox Australian Place, and the actual discussion before a name was chosen an a template created was done there. --TheJosh 07:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, got the impression that there was something substantial to preserve. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"This policy was recently changed". While well-intended, this doesn't actually help. First, by the nature of the wiki, policy pages change all the time. Second, people who have read the policy in the past tend to assume they know it and tend not to read it again, so the very people who may need to see this template will not in fact see it. Let's face it, when was the last time you followed a link to e.g. WP:NPA to read what the page actually says? Instead, we should list all major policy changes on WP:A or WP:GO.

  • Delete. Wait, hold on. The policies are written down? Mackensen (talk) 17:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If you would actually notice this warning, you're probably rereading the policy anyway, so what's the point? -Amarkov blahedits 20:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Seems like a pretty pointless template. Major policy changes should be advertised on the Village Pump, Community Portal, etc. Kaldari 23:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Yet another way for contributors to find out what is happening on Wikipedia. The current policy and guidelines are used for AFD and CFD discussions, so I occasionally review guidelines and policies. I would like to be aware that a discussion is happening. The template should be reserved for major policy discussion. I think of it as the AFD warning template for guidelines and policy. There is a major discussion going on the Wikipedia:Image use policy that needs contributor's attention. Someone added a controversial line to the guideline without discussion. People started enforcing the guideline. Any way of increasing discussion is improvement to Wikipedia IMHO.
Also, WP:A, WP:GO, etc. need to be included on the welcome template, as this fine editor of 8000 edits wasn't aware of their existence until now. That's quite a sad statement. Royalbroil T : C 04:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cleanup-link (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Superfluous. When a link is broken, remove it. Don't edit the article merely to tag it as broken! See Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_November_29#Category:Articles_with_broken_links. --Quuxplusone 00:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the intent of this might be for referenced sources that die. In that case, just removing them would desource parts of the text, possibly to disastrous effect. In such cases something with the IA is usually done. I think this template is made for that purpose. The picture I'd suggest changing at any rate, I only knew what the one there now is is because I saw it on a WoW sockpuppet's userpage a while ago. 68.39.174.238 17:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:EmbryologyTemple (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Spam template for inserting spam links in "external links" sections contrary to Wikipedia:Template namespaceSwpb talk contribs 03:49, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Converting existing embryology links to Temple University into a standard format does not constitute spam. --Arcadian 03:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right, it doesn't constitute spam. My choice of wording was overzealous, and for that I apologize. However, Wikipedia:Template namespace states that "Templates should not be used to create serialized links to external sites, with the exception of Wikimedia sisterprojects, such as Wiktionary." I believe this qualifies as such. —Swpb talk contribs 07:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What's your opinion about Template:Imdb name? --Arcadian 00:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
IMDb has become an accepted standard for movie information. That isn't a very cut and dry distinction, and I admit I'm not as familiar as I could be with template policy. I'm hoping placement on this page will attract some additional parties to comment...Swpb talk contribs 19:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
