U.S. state election sidebars for those w/footers

[edit]

Discussion at former Delaware sidebar led to deletion, Alabama discussion last month led to consensus to have a larger nomination. Footers work better for election years, are used for every country rather than sidebars. I only nominated sidebars that already have a relative footer, but some of the footers likely need a decent bit of work to be brought up to the standard of other pages. Would need a decent bit of work if all deleted, moving templates to the bottom of the page for all pages that use them, and all that.

TLDR; footers are generally used over sidebars, sidebars that already have respective footers should be deleted. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:18, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Will make sure to tag all pages and respective authors Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:18, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I largely agree with your points. However, footers are not visible on mobile browsers or the mobile app, while sidebars are. I think we should at least consider the ramifications of that before we delete all of them. MAINEiac4434 (talk) 14:57, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Had no idea about this, although it is still important to have continuity between all election articles. Lots of other article types, especially sports, also use footers. I wonder what the situation within Wikipedia is on having footers display on mobile, I assume its somewhere on a priority list Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 15:04, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to Template:Sidebar, sidebars aren't visible on mobile. Gonnym (talk) 19:33, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They can be deleted as long as the footers have all the elections listed that the sidebar has. Lertaheiko (talk) 17:10, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Was thinking that the ones that need it would be updated before complete deletion, since template deletion is a process Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 17:48, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, update them first Lertaheiko (talk) 20:10, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment would this be better to post as a merge, since several of these templates are not complete on the footer side? Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 18:53, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. If data needs to be merged, the template should be tagged with a merge. The rational here will explain what kind of merge you meant (which you did). Gonnym (talk) 19:34, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Gonnym should I go through and replace the nomination for deletion templates with merge templates? Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 20:15, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well I guess it depends really. In my personal view, this specific nomination seems like a simple link merge (but I haven't looked too deeply into it). If you think the current bottom navboxes are missing these links and they should have had these links anyways, even if these templates were kept, then just add the links, regardless of this discussion. Then this isn't a merge but a deletion discussion. If the links weren't missing and they would only be added if this passes, then that is a merge. Gonnym (talk) 09:57, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nomination, though it is important that all information from the sidebars gets transfered over, all articles with the sidebars get footers, and ballot measures and local elections are included, as those are political important in many states.

@Gonnym: seem to have put the same template twice (first two). Vestrian24Bio 10:45, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Kentico CMS version

[edit]

Unused software version template. Gonnym (talk) 07:57, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CHSAA Black Forest

[edit]

Unused and seems to have been replaced by the creator with new templates such as Template:Colorado Metro region schools. Gonnym (talk) 07:51, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all as well as Template:CHSAA, which is used in the below parameter of those navboxes. Almost done with all the new region-based navboxes. Love y'all Geracruzcolusa (talk) 19:03, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
