Wikipedia talk:Templates for discussion/Archive 8

message: In the guide for listing a template for deletion it says to place the  or  tags in the template and asks politely to not obstruct use of the template. Instead of requesting it to be placed in a non-obstructive location, can we just stick  tags in the "How-to list a template for deletion" box, so that users who just copy and paste the syntax, will automatically not cause harm to the template?--SomeStranger(t|c) 01:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tfd Guide 

message: From a WP:EL topic I created, what do people here think about :Template:Youtube? I believe it is not necessary, and may bring unwanted links (in example, encourage people to point to videos with copyright problems). Should it be brought to TFD? -- ReyBrujo 18:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's an external link, and Wikipedia shouldn't be responsible for its content.  I don't see the problem with it as long as it's still relevant to the topic.  But it might be better to place as an external link, or to modify the template to make it clear that it's not a Wikimedia link.  That's my take. - Gilgamesh 18:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[:Template:YouTube]] 

message: I noticed this was protected and deleted. As the creator of the template, I have curiosity in why it was deleted; however, a cursory search of the May logs havent provided me with any information. Can someone point me to the discussion? Thanks --Osbus 20:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  User Hauptmann 

message: There are some templates that have never been used since March 30. What would people here do with them? They may be useful, but need some work. They are :Template:ESRB E, :Template:ESRB AO, :Template:ESRB T, :Template:ESRB EC and :Template:ESRB Eplus. -- ReyBrujo 01:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed modification to TfD process. 

message: While Crypticbot is down these past few days, I'm doing it by hand.  I'm trying to emulate exactly the same boilerplate for continuity.  Please bear with us during this time of need, and have patience where I'm late.  Thank you.

thread_title:  daily pages by hand 

message: I've noticed that July 21, July 22, and July 23 do not have that friendly top navbar (yesterday - blank sapce - today).  I just added the navbar to July 21, but shouldn't it be automated?  Wasn't it automated before?  So why is it no longer being appended?  I think it's a very useful little navgiation. Hbdragon88 01:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just added it to 90% of the log pages from July 21st to July 31st, where it wasn't included. Is there a template that's used as the dummy for new log pages? I didn't see one, so I created Template:Tfd log similar to Template:afd log. -- nae'blis 17:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The top navbar 

message: :Category:Templates for deletion was created over a year ago, but quickly deleted when it was realized that adding that to  would put all the pages that any TFD'd template was used on in the category as well.  Now, parser functions allow us to get around this problem, so that only templates are categorized.  As a result, I have recreated the category and would encourage people to use it to find lost TFDs.
