All these templates have five or less individuals, severely limiting their usefulness. Albanian Former Royal Family isn't in the template namespace for some reason, but I propose it with the rest. 73.110.217.186 ( talk) 22:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Delete them all. Useless and silly. Smeat75 ( talk) 23:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
Delete. The point of a navbox, which is what these are, is to provide links between related articles. I see no point in having a navbox with three names and a huge coat of arms. It is nothing but intrusive in the layout. The titles of the templates being fantastically misleading is a special concern. Surtsicna ( talk) 13:20, 16 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Propose merging Template:Archive banner with Template:Archives.
Didn't realize Template:Archive banner existed until today. Almost redundant to Template:Archives. Add a parameter to Template:Archives such as banner=yes to allow Template:Archives the option to visually appear as Template:Archive banner currently does, and then all the functionality of one is now in the other. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • I use {{ archives}} on my talk page and am fine with any solution that lets me continue to do so, ideally without setting a parameter. -- BDD ( talk) 18:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
    • @ BDD: Yes, if the merge occurs in the way I'm stating, the existing transclusions of {{ Archives}} should not be affected in any way. Steel1943 ( talk) 18:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Support per WP:CONSOLIDATE. If we don't want to affect the display of existing instances, then we can turn {{ Archive banner}} into a wrapper of {{ Archives}}. {{u| Sdkb}}  talk 19:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I am unsure what the finished product will look like and at present I do not use, or want a banner. So I would oppose a proposal which would cause my talk page archives to change. Wm335td ( talk) 21:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
    • @ Wm335td: That's not what this proposal is for, but the exact opposite. If you are using {{ Archives}} on your talk page (which I see you are), nothing will change. This proposal is to merge contents into {{ Archives}} that will not affect how any of the uses of {{ Archives}} appear, including yours. Nothing of yours will change. Steel1943 ( talk) 21:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment if merged it should use the name "archives" and not "archive banner" (or perhaps "archives box"). The presentation should be set by a switch. -- 65.94.169.16 ( talk) 21:34, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Yes, which is partially why I'm proposing that {{ Archive banner}} be merged into {{ Archives}} ... which will retain the "Archives" template name. However, to make the "banner" setting appear, it will need to be done by a switch, as proposed above; having no switch (in other words, the default setting) would make the template appear as {{ Archives}} currently does. Also, FWIW, currently, the amount of transclusions of {{ Archives}} vs. {{ Archive banner}} is about 50 to 1. Steel1943 ( talk) 22:01, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom. Reduce the dozens of archive related templates to make it easier for editors to use and maintain these. -- Gonnym ( talk) 22:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom. I'm convinced that having a single template with a parameter is easier to use and maintain than separate templates. I'm all for standardisation with a view to ease of use for this sort of thing.-- Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:42, 11 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Conditional support only if there is a way - a bot can do this - for editors currently using the banner to have their banner usage automatically converted to the newly merged template with the banner option turned on i.e., editors currently using the banner won't see an aesthetic change. (If a bot does this then it would also be nice to drop a short, friendly note in the same User Talk pages to let those editors know about this rather inconsequential change.) ElKevbo ( talk) 14:50, 11 August 2020 (UTC) reply
    • @ ElKevbo: Of course that would have to happen, possibly by replacing instances of {{Archive banner (or one of its redirects) replaced with {{Archive banner|banner=yes (or one of its redirects) of the "banner=yes" parameter is used as mentioned in my nomination statement.

      • I'm confused. This has nothing to do with a bot archiving your messages. Also, both templates in this discussion are already set up to allow custom lists, so I'm not sure what the concern is. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:23, 14 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Why do this? All league tables have their own templates. This will also break club season articles linked to template page. Rupert1904 ( talk) 16:06, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply
The consensus at WT:FOOTY is to include tables in the season articles (easier to spot vandalism etc). All league tables do not have their own templates - as you'll see from previous seasons, e.g. 2019 Allsvenskan. And don't worry, I've already fixed the club season articles which use the template by transcluding the table :) Boothy m ( talk) 18:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Clearly needs a merge, but the question is which template to keep and what to do about the remaining differences (like line numbers, title)–if not resolved here, probably wouldn't get resolved on the dead talk anytime soon. I think keep {{ LRT Bandar Utama-Klang Line}}, since it looks much tidier and better designed. Interestingly, this is also the one that has no transclusions. If Bandar Utama–Klang line is at all reliable, the 'line prefix' should be BK, not S (eg BK12, not S12), so the latter template may be more reliable in terms of data. So at a glance, and in summary, I'd say merge into the former copying the data from the latter, but I have no experience in this subject.
