10 January 2006 UTC OK but WP AUM WP DUM and WP AUM WP NUM a avoid d don t n never True but avoid also does not mean ignore when you feel like it This is a high profile template after all the type WP AUM targeted in the first place A metatemplate used only by a dozen of article would not have a significant negative effect this one however is intended for use on hundreds of pages Perhaps we should invite a developer to take a look at this discussion and let us know once and for all if this particular template is problematic enough to be considered a serious AUM violation So far all we ve been doing is second guessing the policy s intent if the Netoholic template is accepted it should be copied into the original template to preserve the edit history of the latter If it s accepted and developed to the point of being usable then histories can be merged at that time Merging edit histories is a quite simple procedure If the original template is protected from editing it will be possible to merge the histories in a very clean way the move of the original template to the standard name has nothing to do with the WP AUM violation accusations True but trying to solve the AUM violation together with the name standardization saves us all trouble of having to do mass moves replacements more than once Wouldn t you agree that it s good for Wikipedia Every mass action eats resources and as it seems Wikimedia does not have the latter in abundance A question for you Tobias please tell me what you see wrong with this scenario Protect Template Language from editing develop Template Infobox Language to the point when it s usable enough to replace old Template Language mass replace all links to Template Language with the links to new Template Infobox Language thus standardizing the infobox name and resolving AUM problem for good merge histories of Template Language and Template Infobox Language to preserve records delete Template Language The way I see it the end result will be exactly what you and other editors want and the process only requires one mass replacement that needs to be done anyway Am I missing anything or not 18 34
