Yet another WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of related works that are marginally related to the character, but are not exclusively about the character itself. Why should this exist alongside Template:Gwenpool (another navbox I brought to TfD)? That poses too much overlap that categories could adequately cover for more suitable organizational purposes. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 16:40, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Template creator saying Keep. Those templates have one link in common. And Gwenpool is not Gwen Stacy. Grelding (talk) 18:16, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply
Gwenpool is an alternate version of Gwen Stacy, so yes, they are intrinsically connected. In what way would another template, such as {{Spider-Man characters}}, {{Spider-Man publications}}, or {{Spider-Man in popular media}} not be sufficient for the navigational purposes? This is the equivalent of giving Lois Lane her own template because she is a supporting character of Superman. Many of these entries are already better suited for and covered by other navboxes. This is just a laundry list of randomly selected related links. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 19:24, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply
Gwenpool is absolutely not an alternate version of Gwen Stacy, so no, they are as connected as Jessica Jones is to Jessica Drew. Drew is why Jones is called Jessica, and Stacy is why Poole is called Gwen, but they are different people with the same first name, just like how Peter Parker and Peter Quill are also different people with the same first name in the lore, and not alternate-universe versions of the same character. Claiming Gwen Poole is Gwen Stacy makes it seem like you don't know anything about either character, and should not be arguing about templates for either character. Like arguing Template:Spider-Woman should be deleted because Template:Spider-Man also exists, or that Template:Ultimate Universe should be deleted because Template:Ultimate Marvel exists. This list lists the two series Gwen Stacy has been the protagonist of, the supporting charactes of those series, the two articles about film adaptations of the characters, and the events and storylines that she has been a main character in.

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:GHS hazard pictograms. Primefac (talk) 20:21, 10 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Propose merging Template:GHS hazard pictograms with Template:GHS pictogram.
Template:GHS hazard pictograms is just a wrapper for Template:GHS pictogram to allow it to accept multiple values. I'd like to merge them into one template, possibly using a lua module.

Each of the other templates listed duplicate the function this merged template would have, and this template is more convenient than the others. For example, typing {{GHS|01|03|05}} does the same thing as {{GHS01}}{{GHS03}}{{GHS05}}. Just might be nice if we could merge these 11 templates into one. (If consensus is found I can merge these myself.) FlammablePizza (talk / contrib) 14:12, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Merge would be my preferred outcome, but retaining the ability to show multiple icons (as compactly as possible) is pretty crucial for chemboxes. They're only separate in order to have {{for loop}} behave properly, and I wasn't sure how to do this without multiple templates. I created {{GHS pictogram}} as a way of unifying the separate GHS templates (e.g. {{GHS01}}), and if we can merge those in a way that doesn't break older chemboxes that would be great.

I’ve considered this for quite a bit, and the best solution I have come up with is to:
1. Merge GHS pictogram and GHS hazard pictrograms using a lua module. If you take a look at simple:Template:GHS pictogram, you can kind of get an idea of the implementation. It keeps all of the features your current template has.
2. Have a bot run replace all calls to the old templates. There isn’t really a clean way to do this with redirects or something else, and this bot task should be fairly simple.
3. Speedy delete the old, now unused templates, per this TfD (assuming it is closed as merge of course). FlammablePizza (talk / contrib) 03:06, 3 October 2026 (UTC)reply
Merge everything into TM:GHS; probably replacing everything instead of just redirecting would be better indeed. Choucas 🐦‍⬛ 16:30, 8 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Only links two articles, can be dealt with through normal linking. WP:NENAN. --woodensuperman 12:43, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Unnecessary templates to display article content, previously deleted Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 February 23#Template:Pakistan Test cricket records by opponent / Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 February 23#Template:Ireland ODI cricket records by opponent. Section transclusion is the standard way to do this. Spike 'em (talk) 11:00, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Substitute and/or delete, depending on if it is still transcluded by discussion closure. Choucas 🐦‍⬛ 16:23, 8 October 2026 (UTC)reply
