• Delete – That is a good question. It appears to have been used for some sort of interwiki or namespace usage but I cannot think of any good reason to make all the links text be "*" (maybe as some way to categorize things but then why have a parameter for "Category" namespace?). 50.53.15.51 (talk) 15:46, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • it is used to create a footnote-type link to a page on another wiki, like [[Wikipedia]]{{trans link|de|Wikipedia}}, for example. hence the name "trans link" = "translation link". however, we apparently don't need it since we have been getting along just fine with out it.

Template:Brady Seals (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Suggest merging to {{Little Texas}}. Seals only had four solo albums, which puts him one short of WP:NENAN. There is no reason his solo work can't be incorporated into Little Texas' navbox, as is done with Larry Stewart's work outside Restless Heart. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

1. Template has 10 links
2. Brady Seals does not link to Hot Apple Pie nor Mark Matejka
3. The Truth (Brady Seals album) does not link to Thompson Street, Hot Apple Pie, Hot Apple Pie, Mark Matejka, Troy Seals nor Lisa Stewart
4. Brady Seals (album) does not link to Hot Apple Pie, Hot Apple Pie (album), Mark Matejka, Troy Seals nor Lisa Stewart
5. Thompson Street does not link to The Truth, Hot Apple Pie, Hot Apple Pie (album), Mark Matejka, Troy Seals nor Lisa Stewart
6. Hot Apple Pie does not link to The Truth, Brady Seals nor Thompson Street

I'll write more later.

• Comment The template did not include the Hot Apple Pie links when I nominated it. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:01, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Similar to the case with the discussion about Colt Ford, even a slight bit of research would have revealed that the album Hot Apple Pie and Mark Matejka are related to the band Hot Apple Pie that Brady Seals was a part of, and that Lisa Stewart is Seals' wife.

I ask again, what proof is there that WP:NENAN requires five articles in addition to the title of the template as opposed to including the same?

1. Hot Apple Pie (album) does not link to The Truth, Brady Seals, Thompson Street, Little Texas nor Lisa Stewart
2. Mark Matejka does not link to Brady Seals, The Truth, Brady Seals, Thompson Street, Hot Apple Pie, Little Texas, Troy Seals nor Lisa Stewart
3. Little Texas does not link to The Truth, Thompson Street, Mark Matejka, Troy Seals nor Lisa Stewart
4. Troy Seals does not link to The Truth, Thompson Street, Mark Matejka nor Lisa Stewart
5. Lisa Stewart does not link to The Truth, Thompson Street, Mark Matejka nor Troy Seals

A great deal of time is spent by people nominating templates such as Superjoint Ritual, Saigon Kick, Thornley, 4 Non Blondes, Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine and Colt Ford just because people don't do their due diligance to research and expand the templates that SEEM deficient.--Jax 0677 (talk) 23:56, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox with only four links. An IP keeps restoring names of presenters to the template, but there is a long standing consensus that cast and crew should not be included in navboxes, so these shouldn't be there. All articles linked to in the navbox are in the same category, which includes 10 articles. The series articles contain links to and from each other so this navbox seems redundant. AussieLegend (talk) 09:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Question: AussieLegend, are you able to provide evidence of the long standing consensus that cast and crew should not be included in navboxes? (I'm not saying there isn't one; I'd just be interested to see some evidence of it). Also, at the risk of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I notice that several of the other templates in Category:Game show navigational boxes (e.g. {{Argumental}} and {{Mock the Week}}) include presenters and team captains/regular panelists.

• Comment: at the time I created the template, I was unaware of the consensus not to have cast in the template.
