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

Superseded by Wikidata. All entries should be ported there. (Note that template cannot be marked for deletion as it's protected.) —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet. An RfC on deleting Persondata was just closed last month. The conclusion was that Persondata should eventually be deleted, but not until most of the data had been migrated to Wikidata. Kaldari (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Procedural close~~? —PC -XT + 02:24, 21 October 2014 (UTC) Or, go ahead and mark it for deletion and add it to the holding cell. Maybe it would get the attention of wikidata bot operators better, there? —PC -XT + 02:34, 21 October 2014 (UTC) 23:57, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Kaldari and PC-XT: As pointed out above, we can still mark it as deleted with {{beingdeleted}} or deprecate it in favor of eventual deletion. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:30, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I would advise against adding {{Being deleted}} just yet since that may cause people to go ahead and remove it from articles (along with the metadata). Adding a deprecation notice to the template itself would be pointless since it's an invisible template, but I would definitely support adding a deprecation notice to the template documentation and making it as visible and prominent as possible. Kaldari (talk) 17:40, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll also drop a note at Wikidata to prod the bot writers. Kaldari (talk) 17:41, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Kaldari makes a good point. I think it would be best to deprecate it with a notice to use wikidata, instead, on the doc page. —PC -XT + 23:35, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Deprecate We shouldn't be removing existing uses until they're migrated. But we don't want to keep this around forever either. We should at least make a note not to make any new uses of it. --ais523 03:06, 24 October 2014 (U T C)
