EYOF figure skating templates
[edit]Despite having the word "Olympic" in the name, this is not in any way a major skating competition. We also do not have templates for all skating disciplines at this event. As it is, many figure skating articles have become excessively cluttered by a voluminous number of templates at the end, such that it's difficult to see the forest through the trees. We really need to be more judicious in terms of which templates are truly the most beneficial. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:17, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

New template with only two uses that generates article text. Using templates to generate article text is generally discouraged. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:34, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Template:How-to (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) - 324 transclusions
- Template:Manual (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) - 547 transclusions
Propose merging Template:How-to with Template:Manual.
These seem to say the same thing, in different words ("contains instructions, advice, or how-to content"/ "written like a manual or guide").
Reducing the number of available duplicative templates makes it easier for editors to find the template suited to an issue which they wish to flag. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:48, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

No point in external link template for a dead link. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:06, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
Incomprehensible and unwieldy. I would like to clarify that this template features five separate tables, some very large, while one features only one person, and no explanation as to what the differences are between the five. Additionally, all tables feature all four skating disciplines. As it is, many figure skating articles have become excessively cluttered by a voluminous number of templates at the end, such that it's difficult to see the forest through the trees. We really need to be more judicious in terms of which templates are truly the most beneficial. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:27, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- I guess I've never heard these terms used in figure skating (as opposed to tennis). I watch a lot for decades and decades and tv never used it. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:59, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
