Misguided attempt to write a humorous user warning. I don't see what the painful attempt to be funny/lighthearted adds to this template compared to, say, Template:Joke. Its bigger brother, Template:Seriously, seems to be on its way to deletion below, and for the same reasons this one should also be deleted. — Terraxos 21:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep, you have some good reasons but I think it's rather humurous and might cool down a vandal.
- Keep, I think it's good to have something that isn't just WP jargon. It's a message that people actually understand, instead of "Users who fail to comply with WP:V and WP:RS may be tem. blocked indefinately dure to WP:BBB and WP:AZX." It's actually a template that sounds like someone's talking to them, instead of a robot. Same as Template:Seriously. - Viola sk8 1976 22:16, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Looks and feels amateurish. Using humor in telling people to lay off the jokes sends a mixed message, and, I think, is rather likely to backfire. Feezo (Talk) 22:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep Being a little nice to vandals, I think, is a great way to get them to contribute rather than vandalize, and maybe, just maybe, one of them will, because someone was nice to them. Stern warnings just don't have the same effect on editors, and the more contributors, the better. Arky ¡Hablar Conmigo! 02:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I consider this template disruptive and very controversial as it's referred to a non recognized defacto country. Also, the template is used only by one Wikipedian. I believe it should be deleted. — KaragouniS 14:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. At first, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is an independent country which is recognized by Republic of Turkey, Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and Organization of the Islamic Conference. It is not a non recognized defacto country. Know your facts.
- Secondly, Northern Cyprus is a seperate region (legal, or illegal, it is seperate), it has own government, telecommunication and Internet system. Therefore, adding Wikipedians from TRNC to the list of Republic of Cyprus is not suitable. I believe that there are and will be some users from TRNC, they can use this template if they wish. Simple.
- Also, check these userboxes: TRNC is an independent country, are they? Template:User_Chechen Template:User_Palatinate Template:User_Wallonia
- Note: The suggester for deletion has vandalised the template for several times, please check the talk page and edit history.
- For these reasons, i strongly oppose. Kaygtr 18:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Notice:This is not a place for political propaganda. And you know TRNC is a ILLEGAL occupied territory according to United Nations. -- KaragouniS 18:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep., for reasons stated by Kaygtr. 206.154.229.139 20:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Whether or not TRNC is illegal, it is - as Kaygtr points out - a de facto independent territory. No other Userbox would be appropriate for editors from that area. Since we already have Userboxes for other unrecognised (or quasi-recognised) territories (e.g. Template:User Republic of China), it makes sense to keep this one. Terraxos 20:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, for reasons stated above. Lilac Soul 10:58, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, since there is a de facto government in place in northern Cyprus that uses this terminology. It would be different as a polemic user box, like 'Northern Cyprus is part of Turkey!', which I would vote to delete. I'm also not sure about Template:User_Wallonia since Wallonia is not a de facto government. EdJohnston 15:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Wallonia is a de facto and de jure subnational government. It's like saying I'm from California. Argyriou (talk) 16:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

- Keep -hard to swallow, but it factually exists, fortunately or unfortunately. KaragouniS should be glad he will be able to locate users who use the template, and know what views they represent. Then we can bring it up on the next Epsilon Team conference to arrange how we deal with them. :-) Niko Silver 21:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Not divisive in any significant way. -- Ybbor Talk 22:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Northern Cyprus is in fact a separate entity, whatever its interantional standing, adn if users who reside there choose to so self-identify, i see nothing provocative or devisive in that, at elast no more than in any userbox proclaiming current residence or citizenship, and less than some. DES (talk) 22:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Note the category fed by this template was put on Cfd (the debate there should have been at UCfd). I assume by keeping this (looks headed that way) almost WP:SNOWing now, we don't need to debate it at UCfd. I was expecting the debate to have been carried on there, but seems that's now moot. I've removed the Cfd from the cat. Carlossuarez46 06:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Northern Cyprus exists, one way or another. As for the complaints against userboxes for Wallonia, the Palatinate, etc., there is nothing wrong with stating what sub-national region you are from (although placing them in "Category:NATION of origin user templates" is questionable, but i guess there is nowhere else to put them). - 52 Pickup 10:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Seems to be "repeat code": and it is good practice to use a " function" rather than retain redundancy. Gracenotes T § 14:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

- Oh wait, that's what it is now. This isn't repated code, it is a name, a macro if you like, for a function call with specific parameters set. In that it is just like all the various db tempaltes that ultimately call {{

- Keep. As a macro that just calls {{ in-universe}} it seems harmless. By the way, there is a synonymous {{ SW-in-universe}} that appears not to be included in this nomination. There are a few articles still using {{ SW-in-universe}}, and you can also find them using 'whatlinkshere' on {{ in-universe}}, so the usage of this template as a 'macro' has not broken the normal and expected usage of {{ in-universe}}. So I don't understand what the problem is exactly, either with {{ SW-in-universe}} or the one actually nominated here, {{ sw-in-universe}}. I also don't see why subst should be needed, since it is not used in Jaina Solo, and that article seems to be categorized correctly, unless there is more to 'correctly' than is explained above.

This is only a meta-template for {{ lang}} with the language code of the Armenian language, and it is therefore unneeded. All non-English words simply use the template {{ lang}} or {{ rtl-lang}} directly. — surueña 13:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ambivalent. I created the template, but if a more standard template works better, let's use it. Be sure to migrate all existing embeddings first. It was designed for frequent seamless inline text in articles, not as an "Armenian: Աբգդ" at the tops of articles, so keep that in mind. - Gilgamesh 23:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- (weak) delete . We need to spread the word that {{ lang}} is to be used for any language regardless of its script. Script rendering issues need to be addressed in commons.css, not in templates. The same holds for {{ Ivrit}} (he), {{ polytonic}} (grc), {{ ar}} (ar) and a few others. Also note {{ script}} which is intended to render specific scripts by ISO 15924 code rather than ISO 639 ({{script|Armn|այբուբեն}} vs. {{lang|hy|այբուբեն}}: այբուբեն vs. այբուբեն). dab (𒁳) 07:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. That's right, in fact {{ lang}} can also be used to specify the script. Although normally it is not needed to specify the script [1], some languages are usually written in more than one script e.g. {{lang|ja-Kana|アキラ}}, or for transliterations into Latin characters, e.g. {{rtl-lang|ar|المملكة العربية السعودية}}, {{lang|ar-Latn|al-Mamlaka al-ʻArabiyya as-Saʻūdiyya}}.

Delete. This newly created template is redundant to {{ Infobox Weather}}. The information is just displayed differently. London's article actually displays two weather boxes. MJCdetroit 01:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep (I created this). It's a climate chart that looks like a standard climate chart. It's meant to obviate the need for creating and uploading climate charts (and the consequential lack of them in Wikipedia). As for tables, most of them could probably be replaced with a chart, unless they convey additional information. Zocky | picture popups 02:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I think both are useful in their own right and whilst they display the same set of data, they display it from a different analytical viewpoint. If this template displayed the data in a non-standard way then I could support this being deleted, however a climate chart is a standard format to display this type of data. Nicko ( Talk• Contribs) 06:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

- The accessibility argument doesn't work, really. For people who need a text reader, both formats are the same. In either case, we have a table with 12 columns, only that one has 4 rows and the other has 2, with all 3 values in the single cell. Assuming that blind people are blind, not stupid, this really isn't much of a difference. For people with poor eyesight, this template is as usable as Wikipedia's text. Unlike images, it scales properly, and unlike the coloured table format, there is no low-contrast text. And even for people with normal eyesight, the chart format is more accessible than the coloured table format, which is why it's the standard presentation tool for this kind of data. Try reading a local climate, or comparing two places, from both and see for yourself. Zocky | picture popups 15:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- You appear to have little or know knowledge of how text-reader users hear tables. Putting multiple values in one table cell is unhelpful.

- Andy, the primary goal of this template is not to present the information. It is to replace all of the superfluous images that used to populate pages, which a text reader can't read anyway. If it is used in conjunction with a formatted table, I don't see the problem. Gracenotes T § 03:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Imagine someone reading one of these charts in 5 years time when the weather may have changed and no-one has updated the chart with the latest data. Carcharoth 23:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
