Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2026 June 28

With under 80 uses in articles, this Infobox is full of stuff that doesn't belong in an Infobox per MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Things like catering, water, emergency beds, winter room... Wikipedia is not a guidebook and none of this is of encyclopedic value. Not sure what Infobox is best to replace these, I'm leaning {{Infobox building}} as these huts seem to closely resemble hotels and {{Infobox hotel}} is a redirect to Infobox building, but am open to alternatives.

With under 100 usages, there is no reason for one US state to have its own historic site Infobox, these should just be replaced with Template:Infobox historic site. Otherwise, we open the door for all 50 states to each have their own custom historic site Infobox. Then what about other countries and subdivisions within those countries...

As this is not Wookieepedia, we should probably be a bit hesitant to create new templates premises on particular periods of time within the canon of Star Wars rather than real-world characteristics. There might be occasions where this is merited, but the fact that this template is primarily being added to pages with too many templates already makes its redundancy more obvious. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:55, 28 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Way too many parameters in this Infobox that violate MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. With only 64 article uses, I suggest replacing them all with Template:Infobox historic site. Any information that cannot be placed in Infobox historic site, does not belong in the Infobox for these articles. Examples include listing the number of burials and marriages that supposedly took place at the mission. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:58, 28 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: The Spanish missions in the Americas were a unique expression of colonialism that have their own dedicated researchers, body of academic literature, and cultural legacy. More than 60 articles is plenty to justify a discrete template that distinguishes particular characteristics of the missions. Parameters like numbers of burials are actually relatively useful: they can help readers see at a glance one of the oft-discussed elements of missions that have been held up as evidence of their role in genocide against Indigenous Americans. A more narrowly tailored tweaking of this specific template is wholly appropriate and probably necessary, but outright deletion is probably an overcorrection.
