This template was effectively deprecated when {{MBTA infobox header}} was introduced after the January 2011 TfD. It's remained in mainspace but had no effect on article appearance. It's now fully superseded by Module:Adjacent stations/MBTA. Mackensen (talk) 21:57, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

S-line subpages

Superseded by Module:Adjacent stations/Lehigh Valley Railroad. All transclusions replaced. I've put the 16 S-line subpages within a collapsed section; they're wholly dependent on the three main templates and should also be deleted. Mackensen (talk) 21:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Deletion mention with Template:Notified.
Merge the former into the latter. They serve the same function, and the former really has nothing to do with deletion in particular. If we want some different wording options, that can be done with parameters. PS: {{Deletion sorting}} might also be mergeable, or convertible into a wrapper for the same codebase, but I wanted to just deal with these two first.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:31, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete after replacement with {{Infobox television}}. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:03, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Big Brother sidebar and the twelve sub templates should be deleted and the articles should use {{Infobox television}} as a replacement.

The reason for this is all of the information can be handled by {{Infobox television}} and a list of contestants for that particular adaptation can be added in the |starring= parameter. For an example of how this looks in action see Celebrity Big Brother (U.S. TV series).

Phasing out the old sidebars and transitioning articles like Celebrity Big Brother (UK TV series) to {{Infobox television}} would be a big improvement. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 21:03, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all and replace with {{Infobox television}} - these templates have a few issues:
    • They don't follow the television MoS. Specifically they don't follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television#Infobox which says to use {{Infobox television}} for the parent article.
    • Sidebars aren't view-able on mobile devices which means that a big section of our readers can't even see these, unlike infoboxes which do appear.
    • They contain a lot of irrelevant information for a high-level article. Each section of the sidebar is a mini-season infobox. The seasons have their own articles and use {{Infobox reality competition season}} which handles this information.
    • From looking at parts of the code, it seems that it uses code that doesn't follow MOS:ACCESS in that the rows aren't really rows but each row is just one giant cell with all the information inside it.
Replacing with the general infobox will fix all these issues and make the few BB articles that still use this template WP:CONSISTENT with all other series level articles on Wikipedia. --Gonnym (talk) 21:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was a method of documenting the variants of {{s-par}} which was causing transclusion loops. I've removed it from the 4 variants (out of 200 or so) which actually used it. Cabayi (talk) 17:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brightline has been renamed to Virgin Trains USA, and Module:Adjacent stations makes the style templates unnecessary. Daybeers (talk) 03:20, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
