Copying and pasting a proposal made at Bugzilla :
...Infoboxes seem to've become part of the Wikipedia furniture, at least in the English Wikipedia. Hence, rather than the many "Template:Infobox..." pages (with inconsistent capitaliz/sation etc), suggest an "Infobox:..." namespace created.
What do folk think...?  Thanks, David Kernow (talk) 12:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree.  Infoboxes have become a major feature and many of them serve a very good purpose, but they, like all aspects of Wikipedia, should be presented consistently.  I think that's really important - everything should carry the Wikipedia "brand" and in style and appearance should be part of a set, rather than a one-off.  I think though, that it's difficult enough to reach consensus in discussing one infobox - I imagine discussing them as a group is going to be even more difficult, but worth aiming for.

thread_title:  New CSD for Templates proposed 

message: Currently, the criteria for TfD are
 Proposal of a template for deletion may be appropriate whenever:
 1. The template is not helpful or noteworthy (encyclopaedic);
 2. The template is redundant to another better-designed template;
 3. The template is not used (note that this cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks, it may be used with "subst:");
 4. The template isn't a Neutral Point of View (NPOV) (editors must demonstrate that the template cannot be modified to satisfy this requirement);
 5. The template does not clearly satisfy a criterion for speedy deletion.
I know that this implicitly means, "if any of the first four criteria apply and the last one applies, then speedy delete should be chosen". However, it is also only one criterion must be true for the template to be nominated, not all of them.
Thus, in a strictly legal sense, any template that is not divisive and inflammatory (the only CSD for templates) is fair game for tagging for deletion! No competent editor would delete such a template, but a vandal may abuse this clause, create a huge backlog in the TfD, and feign legitimacy by pointing to that clause.
For the above stated reasons, I have changed the wording to the criteria for TfD:
 If the template clearly satisfies a criterion for speedy deletion, tag it with a  and ask an admin to delete it − these do not require consensus.
 Otherwise, proposal of a template for deletion may be appropriate whenever:
 1. The template is not helpful or noteworthy (encyclopaedic);
 2. The template is redundant to another better-designed template;
 3. The template is not used (note that this cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks, it may  be used with "subst:");
 4. The template isn't a Neutral Point of View (NPOV) (editors must demonstrate that the template cannot be modified to satisfy this requirement);
:Note: I'm not sure vandals even do this sort of thing. If so, I acknowledge that this won't stop vandalism of this type, but it will get rid of any plead of legitimacy.

replies: text: Well the problem probably has potential to occur (WP:BEANS), caused by disruptive editors/trolls.  The easy way to avoid problems is to use speedy closures when a Wikilawyering nomination taking advantage of those error takes place.  However, on the overhand, I don't think that and TfDs have beeen remvoed for not complying directly with the criteria, and many which have been deleted don't comply with the "rules" there.

replies: text: We have WP:IAR for a reason. Still, may as well correct the rules when we find a loophole in them (even though WP:POINT forbids exploiting it).

message: Just a question. Is it common to create subpages for deletion votes by cut and paste, without informing anyone who has participated that the page has been moved? This happened to Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_March_18#Template:Infobox_England_place,  here, with the new location at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 18/Template:Infobox England place. I don't know much about the processes for Wikipedia:Templates for deletion, but I ask because it seems contrary to the spirit of wikipedia as I know it elsewhere. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 01:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be done if a vote is overwhelming the page. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maintenance explains the process for AfD, and the practice seems to have spilled over into TfD; however, unlike AfD and MfD, TfD doesn't have per-discussion subpages, so cut-and-paste has to be used (unfortunately for the effect on watchlists). The two possible alternatives, a history split from the TfD page or a move-and-move back from the per-day TfD page (to add it to people's watchlists) are both unacceptable, and I don't think informing everyone who's participated is usual, so what you've described would seem to be a reasonable state of affairs. How do you think it's contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia (after all, the discussion is linked from the main TfD page)? --ais523 14:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It would be nice, IMO, if the process was always a subpage. Monitoring TfD entries that you vote in is considerably more difficult than monitoring an AfD because you can't watch only the relevant discussions. Every change to any TfD for that day triggers a reset in your watchlist. I suggested that we make the process uniform over all XfD, but I didn't get much response to the idea. I can't see any real disadvantage, and it would clear up the issue that Deacon is mentioning. - grubber 14:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

text:  When you've got pages like :Template:Pagemove and WP:SPLICE for articles on mainspace, I don't think it's hard to work out what spirit I'm referring to. In the case of the move I referred to, it was carried out by a user who had participated one way in the vote. There are two points of potential irregularity: 1) text and votes can be interfered with, and only a very experienced and willing editor would discover and 2) it enables the mover a potential advantage for their side of the discussion; as the mover has the power to inform who he/she pleases that the page has been moved, while hoping other select users don't notice the new page. Not saying either of these would happen, but the potential is there. That aside, it's highly irregular for a page history - esp. on something important like a vote - should be split in two like that. grubber is totally correct. There's no reason why Wikipedia:Templates for deletion cannot follow the same process which, for instance, WP:FAC follows. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I was looking at :Category:American college football templates and noticed a handful of single season roster templates.  While I think a teams single season template is very useful for major league baseball, I do not for college football.  What's the best way to discuss all of these at once?

replies: text: I'd suggest bringing it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football first to see what kind of reaction you get.  If the project participants generally agree, then you can do a mass nomination here.  BTW - the templates seem to be used only in the articles about the corresponding team's season, so I think you're in effect suggesting the roster information be deleted from these articles. -- Rick Block (talk) 15:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Okay, I'll definitely mention this there.  I see why you'd think i was suggesting that the rosters be removed.  Rather, I would simply just recommend that the rosters are moved directly to that page. Thanks for the tip! Jmfangio ► Talk  19:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

which was created July 29,  2007, apparently as an alternate spelling redirect to :Template:current.
Do I take it to the Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, or here at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion?

replies: text: Tag it with  (by copying the template's code into the redirect with the rfd-t template above it) and take it to redirects for discussion; RfD's better equipped to handle this sort of situation, because tfd-tagging a redirect sometimes misleads people into thinking that the template it redirects to is going to be deleted. ais523 16:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
