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

To narrow to exist. The generic dab SIA template can cover it. It was transcluded only in one article in which I changed it with the generic one. Magioladitis (talk) 15:29, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Correction Set indexes are not disambiguation pages. Set indexes are articles, disambiguation pages are not. So the generic dab template cannot cover it. The generic set index article template might. {{SIA}} -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:33, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep: The article that Magioladitis edited is Government of Hawaii. And JHunterJ is right, that is a set index article, not a disambiguation page. So it can use either {{Hawaiiindex}} or {{SIA}}, but not {{disambig}}. {{Hawaiiindex}} is currently only used on one page, but I kind of like it and we currently only have a handful of set index templates so it is a good example of how they can look, so I slightly prefer to keep the template. --David Göthberg (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless someone can better explain why the generic one does not work. Maybe add an optional argument or whatver, but it seems a peculiar one should not be needed. W Nowicki (talk) 18:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
{{Hawaiiindex}} explains better what the Hawaii set index articles are about. While the generic {{SIA}} is too generic. As far as I remember {{Hawaiiindex}} was used on several more articles, but someone must have been going around removing it. Unfortunately Wikipedia has no way of listing what articles used to use a template or category. --David Göthberg (talk) 19:49, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment' I changed it only in Government of Hawaii. You are right SIA is more appropriate than dab. Sorry for the wrong edit. Still think we don't need to specify "Hawai". We could always add some kind of parameter to SIA if necessary. -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
{{SIA}} used to have such a parameter, but it was removed since it caused to much grammar problems. So no, adding a parameter to {{SIA}} is not an option. --David Göthberg (talk) 23:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - adding the words "Hawaii-related" doesn't really count as "explaining what the articles are about". Readers will have gathered that from the article in question, and has no bearing on the bit that the template actually needs to point out - namely, that it's a set index. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 21:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The template also automatically adds the Hawaii specific category, something that the generic {{SIA}} template doesn't. (Although that category needs renaming.) --David Göthberg (talk) 23:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This might be worth something if the category were well-populated. It contains one item. The template is an unnecessary duplicate. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 01:30, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
