Category talk:Content templates
Why are some navboxes (ie. a template that contains a Navbox template, and is applied directly on a page rather than as a child of another navbox) categorized as Category:Content templates and others as Category:Navboxes? Which category (or categories) should they use? --Oznogon (talk) 17:03, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- This is not a definite answer but a remembrance of past conversations (I'll see if I can find them) - Content templates is the old name for such templates as they used the old CT form which you are doing a fine job updating to modern navboxes (thank you). Everything in Category:Navboxes is I think in the modern format. --Fleanetha (talk) 17:45, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK have a look here at some old unfinished (red face) business: Category talk:Templates; User talk:Yoda8myhead & User talk:Fleanetha in that order - it may help. --Fleanetha (talk) 17:52, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, that does add some context. It looks like Category:Navigational templates is unused—it only contains Category:Old format navboxes. Is the spreadsheet on Google still the plan, or is it now as you suggest (new Navboxes → Category:Navboxes, clean out Category:Content templates)? --Oznogon (talk) 23:07, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- The overall plan was to reduce the vast amount of templates we had where we had duplication and also to categorize them in a way that they could more easily be found. Hmm, it does seem to have stalled though. What you are currently doing is extremely useful so I encourage you to continue. Perhaps we need to resurrect this wider project too. --Fleanetha (talk) 15:56, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
