- appears we lost information found in the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Macedonia_at_the_2013_Mediterranean_Games&oldid=568721998 old revision]? Frietjes (talk) 16:34, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as redundant to {{Tl|Infobox Country Mediterranean Games}}, as shown in Special:Diff/649721683, but Frietjes is right that the included information did change when switching to {{Tl|Infobox country at games}} in Special:Diff/649722296. —PC-XT+ 02:08, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

:{{Tfd links|Infobox Nippon Professional Baseball season|type=merge}} Only two transclusions.
Propose merging Template:Infobox NPB season with Template:Infobox Nippon Professional Baseball season.
Apparently identical purposes. The "NPB" template has the better appearance; but the other template's name is better. Perhaps a more generic template is available? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Comment regarding notice - WikiProject Baseball has been notified of this pending TfD: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AWikiProject_Baseball&action=historysubmit&diff=649723108&oldid=649685469]. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:48, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- I think these can trivially be merged, though I find it likely that there is another more general template lying around which could replace the dozen uses between the two templates. --Izno (talk) 06:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- :Template:Infobox league season and Template:Infobox sports season almost hit the mark, though neither of those are for specific teams' season. I think what may be a (different) problem is that the articles the nominated templates are used on may not be notable. I'm not seeing evidence that there are similar articles for U.S. teams, nor do these articles in particular have anything but statistics, something Wikipedia is not…. --Izno (talk) 04:04, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- ::I've converted the only two articles using T:I Nippon Professional Baseball season to use T:I NPB season. No preference on name of template at this time. --Izno (talk) 14:10, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- :No idea - you could ask its creator ;-) Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:20, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- : I don't know if or how it was ever used, but it appears to duplicate {{tl|Infobox designation list}}. Alakzi (talk) 11:25, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- :Now I remember - something to do with using colored borders instead of backgrounds. Just going to ping {{ul|Skeezix1000}}, {{ul|Peter I. Vardy}}, {{ul|Moxy}} and {{ul|Zzyzx11}} who reverted the change to Template:Infobox designation list. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:07, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- :: Zzyzx11 claimed the issue to be that the coloured border hung outside the cell; all it takes to fix that is
box-sizing: border-box
, which I've now added to {{tl|Designation/infobox}}. Do I have everybody's blessing to reinstate the wrappers? Alakzi (talk) 16:08, 4 March 2015 (UTC) - ::: I've implemented the wrapper in the sandbox. Testcases are here. Alakzi (talk) 16:54, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- ::Perhaps you were using it as a sandbox? Looks like I created Infobox designation list on 9 June 2011, and you created Designation/infobox later on 16 November 2011. The only other clue I see going through the list of 'WhatLinksHere' is an archived discussion on User talk:MSGJ/2013#Template:Designation/infobox, where you also stated that you did not remember what you were doing back then, and that you gave permission to delete or redirect it.

Citation template used in only four articles. It would be easier for other people to work with the text (such as say if someone wanted to add a page number) if the text was subst directly into the pages and not in a separate template. Ricky81682 (talk) 11:08, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - template is usually subst'ed. I've used it on a couple of dozen articles from memory. It is useful and easy to work with that way. I'd see no objection to someone reworking the template so that page numbers can be added directly to it, but the template gets a lot of use, and the reasons given for deletion don't seem to be covered by WP:TFD#REASONS. Grutness...wha? 21:48, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
:: Can't you just copy and paste it? I think you could look at the Guideline against a template that "substantially duplicate or hardcode the same functionality of established templates". This is just hard-coded text. It's not a template really, or at best a hard-coded example of another template and now you're adding in an actual parameter for once that'll be passed along. We could also include the accessdate and more, all of which could be avoided if people just copied and pasted the reference or something. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
I suppose it can be kept as a subst-only template—PC-XT+ 02:15, 5 March 2015 (UTC) I do wonder if it is needed. Copy/paste is probably better. If people are using it, I suppose it could be kept for now, but otherwise, it should be deleted. —PC-XT+ 14:45, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
