Template:STML Forest Park–DeBaliviere - I-255/US 50

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was No consensus This is effectively a content dispute over which version of Template:Red Line (St. Louis MetroLink) and Template:Blue Line (St. Louis MetroLink). Neither side has articulated their position in that dispute with sufficient clarity for any actual consensus to be drawn here. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:03, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like the other three templates I nominated a few days ago for the Washington Metro, this template is also redundant since it was only used for two other diagrams. Now, since I've replaced this template with colored segments on the two line templates it was used for, it is now wholly redundant and can thus be deleted.

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/styles.css

The result of the discussion was history merge the two style sheets, delete styles.css, and move styles2.css. I will take care of the history merge, but will put them in the holding cell until the rest can be resolved. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:03, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/styles.css with Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/styles2.css.
This page has been deprecated for almost two years, and it is used only on the relevant /doc subpage. I think the time has come to merge the two templates. HouseBlastertalk 19:30, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't merge, delete styles.css, keep styles2.css. You could have just asked on the talk page first. The styles.css page is a bunch of old and unused styles, as the doc indicates at Template:COVID-19_pandemic_data/doc. The styles2.css page is the new one I did, which was a complete redo that fixed a lot of stuff they wanted. The old one was left there in case someone needed it, which it doesn't appear anyone did and could be deleted. Jroberson108 (talk) 21:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is a much better idea. I support it. HouseBlastertalk 22:04, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We should, however, history merge the two pages together before deleting. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:22, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: There needs to be a bit more discussion about how to handle these two pages - do we just delete one outright, is there content from 1 that should be history merged into the second? Should 2 be renamed to 1? Etc.

Delete "styles.css". None of its content is needed nor should any of its content be merged into the other. The second replaces the first. The history of "styles.css" is unimportant to me, so do what you will with it. As far as renaming "styles2.css" to "styles.css", to keep it simple, renaming isn't needed. Once {{sticky header}} is more stable, hopefully I can replace the transclusions of "styles2.css". Jroberson108 (talk) 08:50, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, I'm fine with the below recommended history merge, delete styles.css, and rename/move styles2.css. This way everyone is in agreement and it can help move this along. Jroberson108 (talk) 05:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • History merge styles.css to styles2.css, Delete anything left of styles.css after the history merge, and then rename styles2.css to styles.css. On history merging, I can't think of any reason not to keep the older styles in the history of the css page. On renaming, "2" only makes sense as a name by distinction from something without a "2", which wouldn't exist, so the resulting name would be illogical. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:18, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • My only firm opinions are that
    1. styles2.css should be renamed to styles.css (which will be a pain, but that is why we have a WP:HOLDINGCELL)
    2. What is currently styles.css should be made historical in some way. Whether that is a histmerge or an /old subpage, not too bothered.
  • I will also note that a rename is blocked on phab:T354015 being resolved because Template:COVID-19 pandemic data depends on v2. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 03:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • History merge per Pppery then delete the current base version and move /styles2 to it. --Gonnym (talk) 21:46, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • History merge per Pppery. This preserves the old edits. Also agree that "styles.css" should be the name for the remaining stylesheet for consistency with other templates. Rjjiii (talk) 04:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
