All links were pointing off-wiki to the Spanish Wikipedia. Have corrected this, and none of the links have articles here, therefore this provides no navigation whatsoever. Rob Sinden (talk) 08:22, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Doesn't "off-wiki" mean links pointing outside of Wikipedia as a whole? According to the article, Juan José Cuadros Pérez was a writer and apparently one notable enough to have articles in both English and Spanish Wikipedia. It seems that it would make sense for the article to have a nav template pointing at articles about his works (as this one apparently did) even if those articles and those works are in another language. A person who is interested in this writer would likely be interested in his works. WP:MOSLINK seems to suggest that, when English links are not available, foreign language links are acceptable, and that "interwiki links bind the project to sister projects such as ... Wikipedia in other languages." I'm tempted to say keep and revert the navbox to link to the appropriate articles on the Spanish Wikipedia site, provided the links or the navbox is edited to reflect that the links are in Spanish.  Etamni | ✉  10:49, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NAVBOX, "Navigation templates are a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles within English Wikipedia". We don't allow external links in navbox templates. Where is the navigational value for a template that only has links to a different Wikipedia, as the navbox wouldn't be seen on those articles? It would make sense for the Spanish Wikipedia to have such a navbox, but not us. If someone is interested and they are looking at the Juan José Cuadros Pérez article (the only one about him or his work on this site, and practically an orphan at that), then they can go to the interwiki links from that article. We don't need a navbox for non-existent articles. --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:59, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete or move to userspace. all redlinks, so no useful navigation. Frietjes (talk) 15:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was relisted, 2015 Sept 1. Opabinia regalis (talk) 04:01, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rarely used template with errors. End of September 2015 de:BAM-Portal will be shut down. It will be integrated into the de:Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (DDB).[1] This is a good time to delete this template and make a new start with {{DDB}} (de:Vorlage:DDB).

SPK digital (the link added on 20 July 2015‎) is only one of many German library catalogs. Examples:

--Kolja21 (talk) 22:29, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep until the outcome of the de:BAM-Portal and de:Vorlage:Spk-digital is known. It's all still under discussion. If they replace their template, we should create the English equivalent, otherwise links ported from German Wikipedia will fail. As a general observation, templates with errors should be fixed not deleted. And nor should we delete examples of a template's usage immediately before or during discussion and then call it "rarely used." --Bermicourt (talk) 16:46, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • On 6 August 2015 I've deleted the link to Schloss+Rheinsberg because publications like Visuelle Poesie or Opern des 21. Jahrhunderts do not fit to Schloss Rheinsberg. I wouldn't use the link with or without a template. de:Vorlage:BAM will be deleted at German Wikipedia, since de:BAM-Portal will be shut down. (Of cause the article will be kept.) de:Vorlage:BAM-Ort has been deleted already. de:Vorlage:Spk-digital (discussed for deletion) is a new template, linking to the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. @Bermicourt: If you care for links ported from German Wikipedia, then why not create {{DDB}}, a template that is used by 4461 articles? --Kolja21 (talk) 21:57, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
