Template talk:NoteTag

On 23 August 2023, it was proposed that this page be moved to Template:Efn-note. The result of the discussion was not moved.

No useful documentation

The "documentation" of this template does not, in fact, document the use of this template (it merely mentions it in a table of similar templates). I had to look at the template code to figure out why it even exists (apparently, merely to avoid typing "|group=note"). If this template is going to stick around, it should "justify" its existence by documenting how and why it should be used (vis-a-vis any other footnote-related template). - dcljr (talk) 13:51, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The template is redundant to {{efn}}, you should be using that instead. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly. This is just as redundant (in exactly the same way) as {{efn-ua}}, {{efn-lr}}, etc., a fact that would be more clear if it were named {{efn-note}}. Perhaps it should just be moved to that name (leaving a redirect). - dcljr (talk) 02:14, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think it'd be clearer if it were {{efn-notenum}} / {{notelist-notenum}} , where this pair generates named endlinks "note #" , and not a freeform label where one could enter such a name as a parameter into NoteTag -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 08:37, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not clear that any consistency is being gained here, and suggested new titles seem awkward. SnowFire (talk) 16:39, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Absent a good argument for why the new names are more useful than the old, I don't think the move should be performed just to complete a set. Also, {{notelist-note}} seems a bit redundant, no? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
