Per project page Wikipedia:WikiProject Rail transport in Jamaica redirecting to Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains - subst or delete or redirect. 38 transclusions.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  18:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WikiProject banners should never be subst. Gonnym (talk) 00:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect what is the benefit in deleting this? If a WikiProject or taskforce relating to rail transport in Jamaica is established then if this template is redirected it will allow easy categorisation, etc. at that time while offering no downsides in the meanwhile. Thryduulf (talk) 08:14, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Clutter is a downside. Banner blindness is a downside. Maintenance burden is a downside. Duplicate banners on the same talk page is downside. If an editor can't be bothered to tag these 36 pages in the hypothetical date in the future where this project is created, then that project is already DoA, as it takes much more effort to run a project.

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:BLP. plicit 14:22, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Active politician with Template:BLP.
{{Active politician}} is only used on talk pages of BLPs, which also display the {{BLP}} template. Would it be sensible to merge these templates, via an optional parameter |activepol=yes which would display the extra text? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would support this. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
+1 It would reduce clutter on talk pages. Daniel Case (talk) 18:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As long as the activepol=yes parameter would still work with the {{WikiProject banner shell}} template so that the display is per proposed change to {{BLP}} I'm in support of this in order to reduce clutter. TarnishedPathtalk 02:28, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
