Comment: This and nine related templates listed under "Ticonderoga..." at Wikipedia:Database reports/Unused templates (filtered)/1 appear to have been substed by Parsecboy into the articles that were using them. Perhaps that editor could link to the discussion that resulted in orphaning these templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:45, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • No discussion; there's simply no need to populate infoboxes with templates like these that make it harder for other editors to correct problems with them, so I boldly got rid of them. Take the linked template as an example: say someone comes along and decides to break out the crew by number of officers and enlisted men; rather than simply editing the article directly, they have to recognize the fact that they're looking at a template, figure out how to get there, and edit that page. We shouldn't be putting up barriers to editing to newer editors - looking at inscrutable code like this, becoming frustrating, and abandoning their idea is just one of many reasons newbies don't stick around. Add on top of that that "{{Ticonderoga class aircraft carrier complement}}" is longer than "3448 officers and enlisted" (along with the non-zero cost of calling up the template every time the page is loaded), and one has to call into question the entire purpose of the template.

As this only includes broacasters on a sports TV programme, it fails WP:PERFNAV. It's also mostly unused, so not performing a navigational function. --woodensuperman 13:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
