Template:Msp

[edit]

Template:Msp (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Only purpose is to provide an external link to a site that is so utterly and profoundly advertising-heavy as to make one want to scream "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY MAKE THE GOOGLE ADS STOP." FCYTravis 23:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Note our policy on external links, which states that links should not be included if they (2) contain only information which should be in the article anyway, and (5) contain objectionable amounts of advertising. On one sample spoiler page, I counted 15 distinct ads. That's objectionable in my book. (ESkog)(Talk) 23:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. These webpages are very informative about the plot of a film, they tend to be accurate and are usually much more detailed than the plot sections in the articles. The link is also useful for checking the content of the plot section, and for expanding it (though for this purpose it is preferable to also see the movie, of course). See also Wikipedia:External_links#What_should_be_linked_to: Sites that contain neutral and accurate material not already in the article.The advertisements do not make reading the text inconvenient: they are not blinking or overlapping the text, or anything like that.--Patrick 23:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete See policy on external links as per ESkog. I expect Patrick has popup blocking software, because it's unreadable under the popups. ... Had these links not been added by an obviously well intentioned editor (Patrick), they would have gone into the SBL when I first saw the template. I'm confused that anyone would argue to keep this site. Most of the plot summaries are horribly written. I was reading the mi3 article, hit the link... groaned out "spam" ... and was in the process of scanning the external links table in the database to find out where else it was spammed when I noticed it was being added by a template. --Gmaxwell 00:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Gmaxwell. Mackensen (talk) 00:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, absolute rubbish site. Linking to this is doing a disservice to our readers. --Cyde Weys 00:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, kill it with fire. The only external link we need on film pages is to imdb, and possibly the official site. - FrancisTyers 00:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, garbage. Not informative—it only includes stuff which should be in the article anyway—not to mention that the summaries themselves are horribly written—Linking to them will only encourage people to not write decent ones. That combined with the insane ammount of advertising it has, means it should never, ever be linked from any article, and especially not via a template.--Sean Black (talk) 00:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, unnecessary advertising template. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 02:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above American Patriot 1776 02:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete A user at one of the film articles I work on recently found it to be covered in ads, along with a heap of mistakes (characters names wrong etc) - apparently they are not peer reviewed. Anyway, the point is, it is not needed. Cvene64 04:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Template that produces inappropriate external links is twice as inappropriate Fnarf999 14:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete though I never thought I'd agree with Cyde. — Nathan (Got something to say? Say it.) 00:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- this isn't who external links should be done --T-rex 05:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- editors can use this site to make a better plot summary in the article, but it doesn't retain any relevance as an external link—i.e. it doesnt add anything that can't be done in a Wikipedia article. Of course, this begs the question of if the site has more thourogh plot summaries that we generally reach by consensus, but to me this is outweighed by the massive amount of advertising on the site and the fact that their summaries are often of a low quality, often even wrong. savidan(talk) (e@) 04:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Political Userbox which contains a redlink, implying that no one actually cares about this organization. Fake User 09:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • After deletion and Subst'ing, they will reside on User pages, where, if people want to cut/paste the code to their User pages, that's up to them. As for useless/not useless, that's fine with boxes like these that are obvious, but will be fought tooth and nail for "useful" boxes. Few user boxes are useful enough to be editing tools, and that's what template space is for. - Nhprman 18:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was speedy keep the content. As comments overwhelmingly addressed the content of the box rather the status which it occupies, I'm closing this as a subst the content and delete the actual template.

Also, I oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue. These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians. That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture; they are not used in article space.

This userbox doesn't conform to the accepted dimensions and is unused. Fake User 09:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Subst and delete, not an encyclopedic template. --Cyde Weys 09:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Large and ugly but this is no crime. Friendly Neighbour 11:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Template:User_Brazil.--M@rēino 14:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: As the creator of the template, I will not vote on this, but I will say that, although I don't particularly mind if it's deleted, it also doesn't seem to cause any harm by being there (granted, it's unused). Also, it is as [un]encyclopedic as any other template that ids a user by nationality ("this user if from country"). About any particular problem with size, colors, etc, anyone can be bold and fix it, I believe. Redux 15:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete - if it isn't being used and the creator doesn't mind its deletion, speedy delete it. Redux, thank you for your contribution and please don't be scared off by the user box wars - you are, of course, always welcome to display this logo on your own page or to create an actual userbox (similar to Template:User_Brazil, but with the colors and text you are looking for). The only reason it is (probably) going to be deleted is that it isn't particularly useful as a template. BigDT 15:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Move to the User space, where it can be SAFE from deletion attempts like this in the future. Nhprman 18:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Subst and delete big and nasty, not for template American Patriot 1776 02:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep, harmless; you want to delete it because it's the wrong size? Wow... --Rory096 19:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No reason to delete beyond nominator's dislike for it. JohnnyBGood t c 17:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In this case, it's hard to see harm in a Wikipedian's country of origin. THat said, the userbox is a mess & should be cleaned up. Overall, I oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue. These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians. That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture; they are not used in article space. The controversy needs to be put to bed once & for all, not endlessly played out here.--Ssbohio 03:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A userbox of displaying a controversial political stance. Fake User 09:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Subst and delete, not an encyclopedic template. --Cyde Weys 09:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Subst and delete per nom American Patriot 1776 13:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, as these Syraic userboxes are very useful to protect the Syraic-themed articles, which are constantly at risk for POV edits. --M@rēino 14:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Move to the User space, where it can be SAFE from deletion attempts like this in the future. Nhprman 18:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, declaring a POV is good to maintain NPOV in articles. --Rory096 19:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As has been said before, we are born into this world naked, screaming, & wet... & (I assert) having a POV. If a controversial political stance were all it took, then the article on Taiwan could fall in the same category, as its existence as a seperate entity is a controversial issue. Having an identified POV can only help the editing process when compared with a hidden POV. Also, I oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue. These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians.

  • Keep all in-policy UBX. If you want to edit that policy to reflect your concerns, please do so. TfD is not the right place to create or subvert policy. What? Are only noncontroversial political stances acceptable? Pfooie. John Reid 14:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unless they are tools for helping us edit the encyclopedia, these templates ARE guilty of being in the wrong place. Moving it to user space saves them from deletions. Let's do it and move on. Nhprman 18:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it's being used, and it can be fixed, is this nom still effective?--Ssbohio 02:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, David. The problem with a "keep" here is that most template may be deleted soon. By "Substituting" the text (ref. to by "Subst") and moving it to User space, you get to keep the box, and ensure that no one can ever delete it again. Consider supporting "Delete and Move" to user space, or "Delete and Subst" and see WP:MACK for the proposal to save Userboxes from future deletions. Thanks! Nhprman 15:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
