Template:Herman Cain series (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unneeded sidebar. We don't need a sidebar for every world leader or politician. Only seven links are of relevance to the subject matter. Such a small grouping of links for the subject and for a sidebar. 15 pages are in Cain's category. This can be converted into a navbox. 3 can be removed since they are related to Cain's 2012 campaign and not to himself directly, but nonetheless, a sidebar is still not needed if adding in those links from the category.

Same issue as was discussed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 March 22#Template:PitchforkVideo and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums/Archive 60#Template:PitchforkDecade, etc. Any website/publication/critic can create year-end lists and distinctions like these. Creating a template for every such distinction is undue per WP:NAVBOX. This is not a significant award with its own Wikipedia article. It is merely a distinction conferred by a publication, the likes of which are innumerable. Navboxes are not intended for routine editorial content like this.

Delete: Following my read on the nominator's side, as well as looking into past discussions, I agree that navboxes referring to the accolades of a person or work can quickly spiral out of control and unnecessary for a page, considering how many publication companies and organizations are out there. — Alex26337 (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Death date and age text

Template:Death date and age text (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The functionality of this template has now been replicated in {{death date and age}}. Thus there is no longer a need for this template. It is my suggestion that this template be redirected to {{death date and age}} thus reducing the number of date templates that must be maintained. A side by side comparison of the two templates can be found here with various testcases. (Please feel free to add more testcases!)

@Jonesey95, Gonnym, and Frietjes: any thoughts? Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 22:45, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:DATE allows for the abbreviation of months, which can be a boon in some infoboxes (where these templates are used). Unless I'm missing something, while {{death date and age text}} allows for this (e.g. {{death date and age text|3 Oct 2025|1809-02-12}}), {{death date and age}} does not. As such, I would oppose redirecting or changing the template. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 13:49, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fourthords: you are partially corrrect, see below:
- {{death date and age|3 Oct 2025|5 Dec 1990}} → October 3, 2025(2025-10-03) (aged 34)
- {{death date and age|1990-02-12|1980-03-12}} → February 12, 1990(1990-02-12) (aged 9)
Basically {{death date and age}} overrides Oct with October. It still works just fine! It just overrides the display value. Thank you for pointing this out. It should be a very easy fix. I'll put that on my todo list for this afternoon as regardless of this merge, that should not be the case.

That being said, given that it works (and that I will fix it so that the abbreviation doesn't get changed) what are your thoughts on merging? --Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:14, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zackmann08: It's probably not a good idea to relist discussions you're involved in. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:54, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery I felt that since there had been very little traffic on this discussion there was no harm in relisting it. To be clear, I would absolutely never have closed a discussion I was involved in... But moving forward I will avoid relisting discussions I have been involved in as well. Appreciate the advice.
