Not really sure what this is, but its an unused template and should almost certainly not be named "from". Aza24 (talk) 22:54, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment from reading the source code, this appears to be a sourcing template to attribute copying between different Wikipedias, where a file is copied between different language wikipedias. -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 04:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A set of unused date templates created almost a year ago. Gonnym (talk) 12:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would ask to not delete these templates. They are part of my future proposal for a Wiki project, which is in a draft state right now. I need more time to prepare my proposal than I initially anticipated. Within a few days I’ll create a demo page that will showcase the usage of these templates, so that at least they are not marked as unused. KarenGrigMan (talk) 10:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. At a bare minimum, all of the templates listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Detectable BC/BCE dates should be merged into one or two templates, as I proposed to the creator nine months ago. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:28, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all This is WP:DATEPOLL/mw:Manual:Dynamic dates all over again. Let's not.
    Wikipedia has over 6 million articles, and thus a lot of internal inertia. Any proposals to change things like date formatting that could apply to a large fraction of articles are doomed to become half-implemented wastelands and eventually cleaned up years down the line. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There are only about 60,000 pages that contain BC dates. More than half of them contain only 1 or 2 dates BC that most of the time don’t even require any markup. In general, most edits associated with this project will be about adding era labels (BC or BCE) where appropriate and not in adding markup. This, by the way, will have a side effect of improving readability for people who don’t use alternative timelines (i.e. general public). With the right tools (which I’m still developing) even one person will be able to maintain the markup on all those thousands of pages in working condition.
    On top of that it isn’t even important if the project is half implemented as long as there are people who find the project helpful. For example, if on every page I visit, the dates are converted perfectly and I can use my alternative timeline, it won’t matter to me that there are some pages out there where the markup is not implemented. If I encounter such page I would spend a few seconds to fix it before reading it.
    There is much more I can tell about this project. It is totally unlike anything that has been proposed before. But I wouldn’t want to discuss it now, before I make a proper proposal. And these templates are absolutely needed (they will be used in the proposal). Yes, they may be eventually edited or merged as suggested by Jonesey95 but that’s to be discussed in the future. Also, the templates have pretty unique names, so I don’t think anybody will need to reuse those names any time soon. I don’t see the urgency in deleting them. We can at least wait until I make the proposal, hopefully by the end of this year.

  • There probably should be a template that can provide <time> support for use in arbitrary articles. I don't really think this is it. (Not that the time element supports BC dates -- it doesn't -- just a general comment.) Izno (talk) 19:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all mainly per Pppery and Izno. This is a massive collection of unused templates for a "web standard" that isn't recognised by anyone and isn't used anywhere.
    The idea of reformatting dates via user preference has already been tried once and rejected. The principles "Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day" and "Wikipedia is not for running experiments" are well established at this point, and in my opinion they both apply to the situation here - this is a "standard" that no-one has adopted and that seems to have been invented by the creator of these templates a year ago.
    I also think this "standard" is poorly defined. The white paper the creator has produce states that 17 different forms of markup are required. The proposed mark-up mixes data with presentational information - why on earth does this "standard" need completley different markup for dates with slashes, dates followed by the word "decades", dates followed by an s, dates ending with 0 ending followed by an s, dates ending with 00 followed by an s etc?
    If we are going to add machine readable metadata to our BC dates to allow automated conversion it should be done following an established web standard, not a pseudo-standard that no one actually supports that someone just randomly made up. I would also support deleting the rest of these templates, which have a single use in Draft:Roman Republic. 192.76.8.89 (talk) 17:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single use template that can only be used by one user on one page. This template contains a table of links to WhichUserAmI/Seventh Ward Dragon's talk page archives, and a table explaining what the colours mean. Since this is completely useless on any page except Seventh Ward Dragon's talk page there is no reason for this to be in template space, it should either be substituted and deleted or userfied. 192.76.8.82 (talk) 11:30, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change so that it supports all user talk pages, e.g. Special:MyTalk/Archive 1, etc. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 14:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Edward-Woodrow We already have Template:Archives which works with all archive schemes and has all kinds of formatting options. This is just a hardcoded table for one person's talk page. 192.76.8.82 (talk) 15:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move to user's page or really just delete. This color scheme is horrible and we already have better archive templates which are maintained. Gonnym (talk) 15:52, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
