Re: Your closure of the PDFlink TfD

Hi Plastikspork. You closed the above TfD as merging the PDFLink template into the cite * family of templates. However, I'm not entirely clear what should happen in cases where the PDFLink template is being used for something other than citations (e.g. external links). The consensus at the TfD isn't entirely clear to me in that regard, I'm not sure if you considered that in your closure? I'm asking because of this bot request for approval, feel free to respond there. Thanks, - Kingpin (talk) 18:43, 8 May 2013‎ (UTC)

Another sidebar

Hey, I found another sidebar that didn't get deleted (Template:Sylvester Stallone sidebar) after this deletion discussion. I'm coming to you since you deleted the others. Would you mind taking care of this one too? Gloss • talk 02:35, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Redirects for discussion

There are several redirects for discussion at Misplaced Pages:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_14 in which you may be interested. --Jax 0677 (talk) 03:21, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Pro Wrestling Alliance / Reality of Wrestling

could you history merge this cut-and-paste move? Frietjes (talk) 23:15, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Request to re-delete

Can you re-delete Template:Location map Italy, Template:Location map Croatia, and Template:Location map Nepal? They're completely unused now. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:03, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Angela Trimbur listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Angela Trimbur. Since you had some involvement with the Angela Trimbur redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:11, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Swiss town infobox

Hi. Do we really still need it? Somebody should propose a wrapper or something.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:37, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

(tps) @Dr. Blofeld: see Template talk:Infobox Swiss town. Frietjes (talk) 15:25, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

That's not a fair turn out. I think if it was advertised properly there would be a clear consensus to create a wrapper.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:35, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: the last wrapper discussion can be found in Template talk:Infobox Swiss town/Archive 4. Frietjes (talk) 15:37, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

I've made a new proposal. That dated infobox has existed far too long!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:40, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Probably best to wait a few days further until it has been open a week but I don't think anybody can really argue with the support to convert it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:48, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I will have a look at the discussion. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 04:03, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Infobox single

Please would you check (and improve!) my sandbox code, as discussed at Template talk:Infobox single#Data granularity redux? Feel free to apply it if you're OK with that. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:05, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Looks like this has been done! Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 04:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

"Quick" request for a WP:TFD close

Hello Plastikspork,

Since you seem to be the primary closer of TfDs, I was wondering, if you have a moment: would you be able to close the TfD request for Template:Rellink (if it hasn't been done yet by the time you read this)? I'm asking this directly since it seems that another editor is waiting on implementing some Lua code pending the result/close of this TfD. Thanks! Steel1943 (talk) 17:26, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you! Steel1943 (talk) 03:13, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

{{Refrences}}

I noticed that you deleted {{Reflist1}} but not {{Refrences}}. Did you miss that one? --AussieLegend (✉) 05:52, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Looks like it. Next time you can tag it as either {{db-xfd}}, or in this case, {{db-test}} and avoid the entire TfD process. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 12:53, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Infobox biathlete world cup record

I believe I was the only one to mildly object to deletion of this template. on further inspection, it's redundant to the main {{infobox biathlete}} template, and can be deleted. I replaced it in two articles. Frietjes (talk)

Done! Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 04:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Infobox british speedway team

could you history merge this with template:British speedway team table? Frietjes (talk) 00:35, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Done, but I will leave it to you to clean up the documentation. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 04:01, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

The outcome of the recent TfM, which you closed, was merge; the recreation of the tempate at {{British speedway team table}} is contrary to this; please take whatever action is necessary to complete the merger. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:00, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

dashes.js

It seems that User:GregU/dashes.js may be in need of another patch (see this edit). The template exists in the guise {{DNB}}, so I'd ask you to tweak the protection mechanism. Maybe something like

var pat2 = /\{\{(main|see|detail|about|for\b|other|redir|conv|coor|sort|anchor|(ite |)DNB( ite|))*$/i; to replace

var pat2 = /\{\{(main|see|detail|about|for\b|other|redir|conv|coor|sort|anchor|DNB ite|ite DNB)*$/i;? Cheers, -- Ohc  09:46, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
