Template:Firewall software (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Problem: This template is basically does exactly what categories do in Wikipedia and exactly in the same manner; the only difference is that there is a burden of manually maintaining it, while entries may automatically be added to categories.

Recommended course of action: Ensure all articles list on this template are in Category:Firewall software, then delete this template. Fleet Command (talk) 06:10, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I've categorized the template according to operating systems. Furthermore it would be productive to enhance the template rather then just deleting it, which most lazy editors would do instead of taking time to improve the situation.--IncidentFlux ^{[ TalkBack | Contributions ]} 18:28, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And so, it has become very useful. Fleet Command (talk) 04:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Christian biography (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is redundant to {{infobox person}}, and was only being used on a dozen pages, so I replaced it with the standard. I am happy to revert these replacements, if alternative solution is desired. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 03:06, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as redundant. All I can see that is different is that it has Denomination(s) instead of Religion, which can cover denominations anyway.

Template:Meter (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Used on one userpage. Previous template of the same name was deleted in 2006, but it was different. -— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 01:40, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete there are other wikistress things already. Further this very generic name would be better served by some other use. 76.66.193.224 (talk) 03:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to userspace, as that's the only place it's being used.
