My bad, I started translating and reimplementing functionality from French Wikipedia but have not been able to finish development yet. Would it be possible to save these somewhere for now while I work on it with Wikimedians for Sustainable Development? I'm not sure if there is a form of sandbox for templates and modules. –

Adding a lead image for
Second Cold War was debated this year. The result
was "no consensus". Recently, an image was used as part of the infobox. I find this an attempt to circumvent what was already decided. The one who created this infobox just
created a newer discussion, which to me apparently discusses the same already-resolved matter (but in different approach?), months before creating this infobox. In that newer discussion, the editor also attempted other kinds of infoboxes that weren't accepted by consensus for the article. Furthermore, the infobox itself doesn't provide anything else valuable and worth keeping. Or, rather the infobox contains just an image as the central focal point of the infobox alongside a header and sub-header.

Ok, this conversation will be read by other people, though I would also like to converse with George Ho, based on the shared background and history that we have. As there is an extensive background which George has raised here. Hi @
George Ho:, so you might have already seen my thoughts on what you described as "circumvention", and I hope that we'll be able to clarify that, thanks. Secondly, I don't think that this would otherwise be a circumvention. For the follow-up discussion, I think it is acceptable, the discussion kinda tapered off I guess. I would prefer a more extensive infobox, but there has been much debate and discussion about it, and the course of the discussions can run over quite a long duration of time, which is why I've thought of a simpler box in the meantime. My idea is also that this would be a starting template, and that it might be edited and updated as discussions proceed, so I would like to urge that we shouldn't delete it just yet, thank you.

The infobox would eventually be removed. Before the template was created, this user has twice inserted an infobox that exactly or extremely resembles this infobox (
diff 1,
diff 2).

I'm of the opinion that there should be an infobox. Whether it's the military conflict or any other, infoboxes are the standard templates, not some individual topic one.--
WikiCleanerMan (
talk) 22:15, 24 September 2021 (UTC)reply
I believe the reason there is a separate infobox template is that it has to do with article size. Editing the Syrian civil war and the War in Afghanistan article makes it harder to navigate when an infobox is already a part of the article. --
WikiCleanerMan (

I think that it also provides an additional layer of convenience, such as when checking the edit histories.
Halo FC (

Delete TfD should not be used to mediate a fundamentally non-template-related content dispute in mainspace. What TfD cares about is solely whether the infobox should be in a template, and it should not, because single-use infoboxes do not contain
Wiki markup intended for inclusion on multiple pages (quote from the lead of
Wikipedia:Template namespace), and are therefore outside the scope of the template namespace.

What is and is not Cold War 1 is still not perfectly clear in the fine detail, but at least there is academic agreement that it is a thing. Books have it in the title as a descriptor, not a thesis or click bait. For Cold War 2 I see double up everywhere, adding nothing. Relating a Page on the China-US trade war to Putin in the Crimea is pointless and 100 other things (until academia says there is a point then I will submit). Wikipedia follows it does not lead, I see more academics use the Term New Cold War to say either we are not there yet or that it is not like the last one, not as a genuine name.

Thanks
Dushan Jugum, I do see some of your points. Though sorry, could you explain what you meant by "double up everywhere", I'm kinda confused by that. So, as I mentioned above, to go into more detail, I was thinking that this element in the top-righthand corner of the page would just be considered echoing the title of the article
Halo FC (

Have a look at
Vaccine diplomacy,
China–United States trade war and
Russo-Ukrainian War the editors are happy, the readers are informed, there is peace and perfection. Now imagine this template wielded by unscrupulous editors placed on these and many more pages, no more peace... no more perfection. Its not my main point but if this template gets used a lot it will be used wrongly and if it gets used once, why have it. Doubling up is that these pages already have templates, we don't need another.
Dushan Jugum (

Halo FC (
talk) 02:12, 28 September 2021 (UTC)reply
we might be getting off the main point, for me that is that 'Cold war 2/new cold war' is not well known/used enough yet.
Dushan Jugum (

ok, I see, and noted, though I think that it is a current major global phenomenon, and, compared to other current major global phenomena, such as the pandemic and the dangers of climate change, Cold War II is much more the consequence of deliberate and specific geopolitical actions, thereby placing it in a unique category

As an admin at en.wiktionary, I was surprised to discover this template still exists. We do not want transwikis, which have not been useful contributions for many years, and consider the transwiki system to be obsolete.

This really is not a useful template--it's not even a navigational template in the strict sense of the word, since all it links to are the articles for the universities that one way or another participate in the organization. In other words, it's just a directory, just like the one I just removed from the (rather hopelessly COI-inflected) main article.

Propose mergingTemplate:Ancient monuments in Rome with

Strong semantic overlap (in contrast to last year's TFM), and I'm pretty sure it would add to what the ancient monuments in Rome would be able to provide in their infoboxes. The former is also much less used than the generic title.
