Hardly a needed template, redundant to {{not around}}. See accompanying CfD here. Dylan 620 (contribs, logs)^{help us!} 23:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even though they collapse, nesting 7 other navboxes makes this a very, very overblown template. Removing them makes it all but unneeded. J Greb (talk) 20:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there seem to be some very loose associations going on here. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 23:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I have no problem with the size of the template per se, but I agree with the comment above that it includes a lot of tenuous connections. I can't see where this would be useful. PC78 (talk) 12:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I fail to see the utility in a navbox to hold 7 navboxes, versus 7 collapsed navboxes. -Sharp962 (talk) 03:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Template:Infobox2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

~~Unused~~ Unecessary fork of {{Infobox}}; see the latter's talk page for discussion. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 14:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the {{TFD}} template. I hope that was the correct thing to do. This template is transcluded on over 800 pages now primarily because it is used by {{Infobox Protected area}}. I slipped up and the Protected area template had been transcluded from a duplicate of this template in my user space. I would be very happy if the templates Infobox2 and Infobox could be merged but I see no possibility at this time. That could change if we could work together. I'll make an attempt. –droll [chat]

I've restored it, as that's not the proper way to go about this. Why is this separate template needed, do you think? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Sorry I removed the notice. I have not dealt with an issue like this before. Right now they are are not interchangeable but it has been some time since I reviewed the Infobox template and it has evolved so that my original proposal has been implemented after multiple requests (if I remember correctly). I don't have the time to see what would need to change right away but I'll get on it soon. Please do not delete this template until I or another editor has reviewed the issues with care. If you could put this issue on hold for about a week it would be very thoughtful of you. –droll [chat]

Keep for now. –droll [chat]
I'm inclined to say delete, though obviously a solution would need to be implemented first. Maintaining a substantial duplicate of {{infobox}} for the sake of a single template seems extremely counterproductive. PC78 (talk) 12:41, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps {{Infobox2}} should - for now - be subst in that one template? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 13:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Already been done, so this template is no longer used. I see no other obstacle to deletion. PC78 (talk) 22:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Based on the udpates above, this template is now unused and redundant. --RL0919 (talk) 22:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. {{Infobox Protected area}} can be converted to use {{infobox}} with little effort. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Funny I should find this now. This is heavily used on ja.wikipedia and I'm going to start putting it on all the pages I've created. Shii (tock) 04:36, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  - Why will {{Infobox religious biography}} (whose documentation uses a Buddhist monk as an example) not suffice? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 12:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - It doesn't have, for example, school, sect, subsect, posthumous name, birth name... Shii (tock) 14:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Then perhaps, rather than starting a new template, and thereby increasing the maintenance overhead, the existing one should be improved? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 14:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't know how these projects work, I'm just translating from the useful Japanese template. Shii (tock) 14:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
