This template generates categories. I suggest that we subst it and the categories are in the page body instead of being hidden in a template. We can keep the template to add categories to the future but it should be subst-only. Magioladitis (talk) 18:37, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Redundant to Template:2012 NL Record vs. opponents, Template:2012 AL Record vs. opponents, and previous years' editions. Intended purpose may be to sort this data by team matchups over multiple years, instead of by year across all teams in league, but it's completely unnecessary.

Template:Di-no author-notice (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The speedy deletion tag associated with this template has been deleted - see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 January 7#Template:Di-no author. Judging from that discussion it seems it is not actually necessary to provide the author of a file, only its source and copyright status. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 03:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not that it matters but in looking over the other discussion it doesn't surprise me why the "parent" template was nominated - the basis of that was based on the noms misunderstanding that no "deletion criteria or image policies states that the author of a file must be provided" thus "author" is not relevant is a poor reason for deletion. Wikipedia has always been clear the any use of any material must be established and this is done via a few methods - who owns the copyright being the core one. Image Use Policy has always been clear in what the requirements are - Currently it says Always specify on the description page where the image came from (the origin, sometimes called its "source") and information on how this could be verified. Examples include scanning a paper copy, or a URL, or a name/alias and method of contact for the photographer. . I, personally, have never had a problem understanding that for an image "where the image came from" is meant to be more than simply naming the website the uploader stole it from. And it is 100% clear that when using the Information template when you leave off the "Author" tag you will get a notice that says: "This file has no author information, and may be lacking other information. Files should have a summary to inform others of the content, author, source, and date if possible. If you know or have access to such information, please add it to the file page." Leaving off the "author" could, and oft times has, caused the F9 to be used. And there in lies the issue with far too many admin who over see Images and speedy. No author 100% equals "lack the necessary licensing information to verify copyright status." Template:Di-no author-notice was added as an explicit reason that people could understand - Lack of supplying an author is cause for deletion. Soundvisions1 (talk) 14:15, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
