Template:Infobox pyramid

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:25, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox pyramid into Template:Infobox building.

All but a couple of the pyramid template's parameters (albeit sometimes having different, and non-standard, names) exist in the building infobox. The only ones that do not seem to be |slope= and |volume=, which can also apply to other buildings (alternatively, |other_dimensions= is available). Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, requires the use of the building infobox as a module within the pyramid infobox. Memphis Pyramid, a modern pyramid, which has both a slope and a volume, already uses the building infobox.

Comment: seems to be used for Chernobyl New Safe Confinement and Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant sarcophagus, neither of which is really a pyramid… -- HarJIT (talk) 15:09, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, that was a bug in the TfD template on Infobox building; I've fixed it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:24, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Other than Memphis Pyramid, which would be a building, I agree. --Bsherr (talk) 18:26, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are several errors in your table; for example |alt= and |image= are not the same; neither are |ancient= & |native_name=. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:56, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's more of a nitpick than an argument. The code in Infobox monument reads image = {{#invoke:InfoboxImage|InfoboxImage|image={{{image|}}}|size={{{image_size|}}}|sizedefault=frameless|alt={{{image_alt|{{{alt|}}}}}}}}, so the parameter is there. Ancient name and former name aren't really the same either, unless you think Khufu's Horizon and Sears Tower should occupy the same parameter without some further explanation that the pyramids weren't "rebranded". --Bsherr (talk) 23:47, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, A pyramid is always a building but not always a monument. Plus, having all of these esoteric infobox categories hurts rather than helps, in this editor's opinion.--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 22:15, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Would you agree that one ought to sort the pyramids between those that are only buildings and those that are monuments? Or would the new rule be that Infobox monuments applies only to non-pyramidal monuments? --Bsherr (talk) 23:40, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, I like the idea of having the triangle on the map feature to designate the building's status as a pyramid. Other than that, this is really editor preference and is a solution in search of a problem. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:21, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either per nominator or else to Template:Infobox monument. Chicbyaccident (talk) 21:46, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - 1) The Memphis Pyramid states neither slope, nor volume, nor base length, nor any other comparable features except name and height. False comparison. 2) This is a solution for no problem. Moreover "ancient name" would not be replaceable with "former name". The ancient names are treated as that, ancient not former. Egyptian pyramids don't undergo a process of renaming. It's also never called a "diameter" (in any source), it's always base length. 3) The current infobox for the ancient Egyptian pyramids is compact and structured without breaks for a reason: details are scant. The last thing that pyramids need is breaks after one line that look stupid (height, base length, slope and volume should be together; two images one on top of the other at the top of the infobox take up half the IB making it look squashed; and, not to repeat myself, but two parameters are incorrectly labelled as "former name" and "diameter" when no source uses either construction), like this:

Pyramid of Unas
A photograph of the ruined pyramid of Unas. Parts of the base of the pyramid remain generally intact, with visible polished stone blocks, while the head of the pyramid resembles a large mound of sand. The ruins of the mortuary temple can be seen in the foreground. Segments of the bases of the walls of the mortuary temple and pyramid complex have been retained, though much of the structure is in ruins.

Unnecessary wrapper for {{Infobox sports award}}, with just one pre-populated parameter. Subst:ing all instances will enable reduce the maintenance overhead, and make improvements in the parent template more readily available in ice hockey award articles. No other sport requires a similarly-specific template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:23, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't serve any purpose since we have a long-standing consensus that old IP talk page warnings should not be archived, rather simply removed. Existing transclusions should be replaced with {{OW}}. SD0001 (talk) 19:21, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: It doesn't say anything about being limited to IP users. However, I'm not entirely sure there's a use-case for it for non-IP users. (I don't spend much time delivering warnings.)  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:11, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The problem with the proposed solution is that it gives no indication that archive pages exist. So long as they do exist, there should be a template to navigate to them. --Bsherr (talk) 16:50, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep, but mark as historical in /doc. While there is consensus now to blank or collapse old IP warnings, there are older IP talk pages that do have archive subpages. Alternately, I suppose instances of this template could be replaced with a standard archive box and then the template deleted—I don't feel too strongly one way or the other. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:45, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
