Template:G20-Chief justices

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 00:54, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary template for a grouping of legal leaders on the international stage. The other G7/G20 templates make sense as the individuals involved (i.e. finance, defense, foreign affairs, etc. ministers usually engage in international diplomacy). The same definitely can't be said with regards to supreme court justices, who never appear at these events. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 23:27, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, chief judges of the G20 supreme and constitutional courts attend so-called "J20" summits, see, e.g., https://g20.org/track/supreme-courts-and-constitutional-courts-j20/, https://j20.judiciary.org.za/, https://www.gov.br/g20/en/g20-social/supreme-courts-and-constitutional-courts MicNickBell (talk) 11:48, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary template for a grouping of political leaders on the international stage. The other G7/G20 templates make sense as the individuals involved (i.e. finance, defense, foreign affairs, etc. ministers usually engage in international diplomacy). The same can't be said for legislative speakers (especially upper houses in commonwealth countries). - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 23:25, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This WP:LEADSIDEBAR is not used anywhere, except on Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus', where it does what leadsidebars do worst: bogging up space in the upper right corner of the article, alongside three other leadsidebars. Time for this history leadsidebar to fade into history.

Zero documentation or explanation of why/how it differs from {{Infobox election}}. Again I will say we do not need a custom infobox for every country that has elections. That would result in dozen upon dozens of duplicate infoboxes. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 09:34, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:17, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom --Lenticel (talk) 00:45, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • This nomination definitely needs rethinking, because a spot check makes it look like it's functioning as a box for navigation instead in several cases. Particularly, it looks like it's not used on pages about specific singular elections (e.g. 2024 United States presidential election) but instead functioning for pages that are lists of elections occurring in specific years. See its use e.g. in 2008 elections in India. Izno (talk) 19:17, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Have the nominator or the first two !voters looked at how this is being used? It's a completely different template to {{Infobox election}} displaying different information. Its use could be broadened to other countries (to cover articles on elections at multiple levels of government), but I can't see a valid reason for deletion. Number 57 15:38, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Number 57: I'll confess I did not do a thorough examination of the transclusions. ZERO documentation is a giant red flag for me (yes I know, WP:FIXIT...). That and the fact that is has a very low use count (16 by my count) and the name points to it being a duplicate of {{Infobox election}}. If this is sufficiently different then you may be right that it needs to stay. That being said, I don't think it is a good idea to have separate election infoboxes for a country. This is VERY slippery slope that could lead to literally hundreds of different infoboxes that are largely duplicates of each other. Perhaps a middle ground is to make it a custom wrapper for {{Infobox election}}?
    FWIW I was going to ping the templates creator (User:QLDer in NSW) to get more information, but they have been banned as a sockpuppet... Open to suggestions.
    Given that it has been 7 days, I'm going to WP:BOLDly re-list this for more discussion. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:14, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Warrants further discussion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:14, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It can't be a wrapper for {{Infobox election}} because it's a completely different layout. It's effectively a summary table of several different types of elections, not for election results like Infobox election. I was suggesting it be renamed (perhaps something like {{Infobox multiple elections summary}}) so it can be used for other countries (as there are other types of articles it would fit). Number 57 22:28, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Number 57: gotta admit when I'm wrong... Took the time to actually look at the uses, obviously something I should have done from the get go. This is VERY different from {{Infobox election}} and you are correct, a merge is simply not possible. It is much more like {{Infobox United States elections}} though I certainly wouldn't suggest merging those two... I just don't like the precedent of having custom infoboxes for one country with such a low use count... It just irks me, we should be able to generalize. But the fact that it irks me is my problem... Anywya, I did a little more research and found that 2024 elections in the European Union uses a combination of {{Infobox election}} and {{Infobox legislative election}} to achieve a similar result? Maybe there is something there worth considering? At any rate, I'm leaning towards withdrawing this TFD, but think I'll let it go a little longer just to see what comes of the discussion.
DEFINITELY opposed to the original merge I suggested at this point though.
@Lenticel and WikiCleanerMan: I encourage you to reconsider your !votes based on above. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 09:40, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not usable as a navbox, per the lack of blue links at Richard B. Spence. It is fine for this template to be recreated once there are enough blue links to make it useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:42, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Wrong ISBN

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Please check ISBN. Izno (talk) 17:43, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As noted on the talk page, but not addressed, an inline tag makes more sense but is not needed for a bogus ISBN. The commonly used CS1 templates respond to invalid ISBNs with a specific inline visual error message and tracking category. For non-CS1 citations templates and handwritten citations, the {{ISBN}} template will both format an ISBN and, if bogus, generate a visual error message and add the page to a tracking category. This less-specific banner is both redundant and less clear. Examples on inline ISBN error tracking that already exist:

  • CS1 template ({{cite book}})
    • Moore, Alan; Bolland, Brian (2008). Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe ed.). DC Comics. ISBN 9781401242282.
    • Moore, Alan; Bolland, Brian (2008). Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe ed.). DC Comics. ISBN 978140124228Z. {{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: invalid character (help)
  • Non-CS1 citation template ({{cite comic}})
  • Handwritten citation (APA with ISBN appended)
    • Moore, A., & Bolland, B. (2008). Batman the killing joke deluxe. DC Comics. ISBN 9781401242282.
    • Moore, A., & Bolland, B. (2008). Batman the killing joke deluxe. DC Comics. ISBN 978140124228Z {{isbn}}: Check isbn value: invalid character (help).

  • Redirect to an in-line template (e.g. {{Please check ISBN}}). Putting a template that is supposed to be for articles where "multiple references contain ISBNs that do not match the books they are attached to", and then not having that same language in the template itself, is confusing. The template does not help editors find the invalid ISBNs. {{Please check ISBN}} can be used with a custom reason for valid ISBNs that do not match the book they are listed beside. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:05, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This template seems to be just here as a humorous notice, and doesn't seem like it will ever be used. Also, it looks familiar to a certain warning template regarding vandalism, so the template can be considered a derived copy. — Alex26337 (talk) 01:09, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
