Non-functioning external link template. 55 transclusions. Target site seems to be defunct. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:43, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The old site was consolidated into a single PDF document, available at http://www.queensu.ca/filmandmedia/sites/webpublish.queensu.ca.fmwww/files/files/CBC%20Television%20Linked%20Listings.pdf - the template should be substituted to that link. Dl2000 (talk) 21:03, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Odd external links template with no parameters, and no subject-specific (deep) links, but including links to search pages. Appears to be mostly used in citations, so may need to be replaced with {{Citation needed}} or similar. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:19, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think this template serves much purpose – the "All-Time XI" was the creation of a single website, ESPNcricinfo, and there is no article to link to. IgnorantArmies (talk) 17:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And yet what is the harm of it being there? If other All-time XI's get templates why should this not? Or are we setting a new precedent for them all? Kiwichris (talk) 06:36, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The question is being asked of this template though. AIRcorn (talk)`

Two help desk templates for the same question. Pppery (talk) 15:29, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • oppose, no demonstration of the merged template. Frietjes (talk) 17:25, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. They have substantially different text, at different levels of detail, thereby providing users a choice of stock answers. I certainly oppose the direction of the merge. The help desk templates listed in {{HDT}}, as shown through Wikipedia:Help desk/How to answer, provide a limited list of templates addressing mostly high use issues, with dedicated templates whose names allow responders to easily locate which template might be responsive to a person's question. Because they are stand-alone, unlike HD, it also allows users to click edit, grab some of the model text and modify for their own purposes. Both issues would not be well served by a merge into HD which has about 50 entries to wade through to locate which sub-template addresses the issue. This template also pre-exists HD.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not about whether the the subtemplates are autonomous pages, it's about how they are accessed. Mechanically, that comes about by a person seeing the link for "How to answer" at the help desk's header → finding the section on answering → seeing there the display of {{HDT}} as well as the description of {{HD}} and then having to scroll through the display of the 50 templates in {{HD}}'s tl;dr shared (dependent) documentation to see which one to use.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:57, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
