thread_title:  TfD nomination of Template:{{ucfirst:Districts of Turkey}} 

message: Just the thing about the regions.. It is not only meteorologists that use them.. They are not administrative regions because Turkey is a centralized country, however these regions are referred to in the state's budget, state's discourse etc. They are commonly used by the government, even if they do not hold an administrative value. + They are used by geographers as well, therefore it makes sense to use them. They shouldn't be removed. Baristarim 15:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Regions 

message: Guys - less is more. You have created a template full of sublists and links that is impossible to edit and thus impossible to update and maintain. 
All we need to see at the bototm of a province page is
*a list of the districts in the province
*a list of the provinces of Turkey
*a list of the regions (which I don't actually care about but apparently some people think is important)
And all of these need maps.
Your current template has the following problems
1 - the title line should not include the word districts. It should just say the name of the province. 
:The title only includes "text:districts" if the page is under a province (a province page). At this stage it lists the districts of the province. The text "text:districts" does not show up on other pages. So the title word "text:districts" is correctly states what it is performing under a specific context. --OttomanReference 22:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not rush your conclusions. The first field is the megapole of the province, it is the second field that lists XXX. What you are proposing is saying things more than once, which is basicly repeating the obvious. However to accommodate your wish, I will make that change. However I 'm against it, as that would not bring more clarity. --OttomanReference 22:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

text: There is no Turkish standard (TSE) about how to list the provinces. This is a POV.--OttomanReference 22:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The current form is very effective from USABILITY perspective, as it helps the users easily acquire in relationships (Region first, alphabetical sorting of the provinces second). Also remember it was your position not to link regions to administrative functions. If you put them in a hierarchy view, the first thing people think that regions are on TOP of provinces, provinces are on TOP of districts. What you are proposing is asking to perform an organization that will convey a hierarchy that does not exist (U were against this topic). The current form is the best, it does not convey the hierarchical view. Thanks. --OttomanReference 22:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The major focus of the template is the textual info. If you increase the size of the images the texts become "washed out" from the template. BESIDES it is a wikipedia function to "CLICK" on an image to get it bigger. This function is known widely and used widely. Yo do not have to make the pictures bigger as it does not make the information better. The information is in the text, that is what we are working with, as you know. PS: The template is designed for the 800px wide, as there are millions who does not have wide screens, and this template is repeated in many many pages. It is better people who has expensive screens to click and make it bigger for these people. --OttomanReference 22:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks for your ideas, but what you propose has already discussed at very early stages of the development. I'm sure if you give more time, you can recognize that there is a lot of time put into this template and there is a valid point why things are organized like this. I'm very pleased to see that you are actively involving to this template. HOPE you will help the users to update (locate) the of pages that does not have this template. THAT WOULD be your biggest help, which has not been solidified yet.--OttomanReference 01:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

text: PS: Do not add the old templates. The templates you are replacing has SORTING issues under the category pages. These have been discussed in the adf page and I checkout, you were part of those discussions, so U are aware. Those templates did not consider (solve) the category sorting with Turkish characters. Indeed by making those changes you are causing problems, which this template tries to solve. Thanks. --OttomanReference 22:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Keep it simple 

message: Your template is MUCH more than a list of districts. It includes information about the whole country. Therefore you need:
* a general title - the name of the province. 
*Or you need a template which just contains the list of districts plus a map. 
*Or maybe as a compromise you could feature the districts as you have done already and then put the national and regional information in a smaller section below, In fact if you removed the display of all the provinces in each region that would make the template look more focussed on the districts. I still don't understand why I need to see a list of which provinces are in the Aegean when I'm reading about a small town in Amasya.
Also please don't hide this template. At the moment there is no other listing of the districts of Çorum for example, (because you keep deleting the clean and simple list that was there before) so we must see your  template. Istanbuljohnm 08:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The heading bar should not contain the word ''districts'' 

message: This is looking better. One problem - next to the list of districts you have the regions map and next to the regions the map of the province. Can you switch these around? And Ottoman Reference don't talk to me about respect. If you do a good job you will get appreciation. I am not the only one to have criticised this template. And you are still working on it so you can't expect people to start applauding yet. When it is finished and looks fine and meets with general approval I will be the first to congratulate you, but the job is not done. Can M. Istanbuljohnm 20:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You know you can choose an article, a concept and using Wikipedia:Citing sources and criterias of the Wikipedia:Good article, you can work on it to make it Wikipedia:Featured content. Do not get me wrong your critics are wellcomed but do you have to jump on this vagoon? I believe I'm doing fine. You do not need to insult me. Is this the only thing you can improve? Please, I do not need another father in my life. Thanks. OttomanReference 20:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am interested in this topic because I am Turkish and live in Turkey. I want to get this right as quickly as possible so that people can read about our country accurately as soon as possible. You are concerned with the mechanics of the template - good, it is far too complicated for me - I am concerned with how it looks. it still needs improving, but you are doing a good job now. You attacked me, talking of respect, i never mentioned you personally. Istanbuljohnm 07:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, a link to a disambiguation page inside this template.  The blue link for Talas, under "Urban Districts" of Kayseri, links to this page.  However, the markup seems to indicate that it leads to Talas, Turkey, as it should.  Weird, maybe I'm missing something.  Anyone know how to fix this?  The Interior(Talk) 04:50, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
