Template:Big Yellow Button (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is obsolete because the category it uses, Category:Articles the need to be Wikified, no longer exists. The template that put articles in that category, Template:Wikify, has been deprecated since August due to this nomination for deletion. This button no longer does anything, so I recommend its deletion.  Liam987(talk) 18:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have more standardised banners than this one. This is huge and IMO aggressive. We should always assume good faith. Magioladitis (talk) 10:34, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep unless the equivalent message and bold visual style can be shown to be available elsewhere. This is used on Wikipedia talk:Signatures, where it goes some way to mitigating the daily occurrence of misplaced messages on that page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:45, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Substitute and/or delete, given the transclusion count. Note however that if general questions still kept appearing on WT:SIG, it would mean this banner has failed its purpose. (But I think it has not been very frequent lately.) Keφr 13:38, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It hasn't failed if it has reduced the number of such messages; which on cursory inspection seems to be the case. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:14, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Indeed. But I am curious why people keep landing on that page in the first place. Should we not fix that problem instead? Keφr 17:52, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment can you indicate the more standardized templates this is supposed to be replaced with? -- 70.50.148.105 (talk) 04:47, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think {{not a forum}} and {{talk header}} can do. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:42, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Boilerplate talk banners should be chosen with care. When they are overused, they are diluted, which only ramps up the treadmill: the result is that someone tries again with bold text and a bigger font. And thus we end up here. {{Not a forum}}, along with a degree of diligent adminning, should suffice here. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 17:05, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as redundant to {{not a forum}} and {{talk header}}. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 00:44, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Magioladitis (talk) 21:51, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral as creator. Is it possible that this is only unused because no one knows about it? --NYKevin 23:11, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or userfy for now - The |move=yes urls weren't correct, but I made an edit and now may be using this on my talk page. Generally speaking, it could be substituted. —PC-XT+ 01:43, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete or userfy Frietjes (talk) 19:11, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — To avoid misunderstanding, when I said the template could generally be substituted, I meant it could be modified to be substituted, since, at minimum, the two uses of {{REVISIONID}} should be something like {{{{{|safesubst:}}}REVISIONID}} for it to actually work as intended when substituted and transcluded. —PC-XT+ 19:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, my logic was backwards. {{REVISIONID}} should be transcluded in the result. —PC-XT+ 20:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Article on novels are individual entities. While a basic template for what to consider in such an article is nice, using such a template in an article does not work. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:09, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have 3 people here who want to delete this, and it was relisted by a non-admin for no other reason than that nobody had deleted it yet by the time he came along (I asked him on his talk page). Can we delete this now? Debresser (talk) 19:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

mostly redundant to template:infobox rail line, just need to add the line striping, and it's entirely redundant. only a handful of transclusions. I propose replacing it with the standard infobox, then deleting it. Frietjes (talk) 15:58, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
