Template:Catmore debate 2
Delete as nominator - the main article in a cat will already be visible at the top of the category. --Pmsyyz 22:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)- Delete as importer - I'm sorry for reimporting this category, perhaps we can salt it and remove its talk page this time? The original deletion debate (closed 08:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)) follows. — Jeff G. 15:00, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep It is a very useful tool. --Evrik 02:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- On Commons? Do tell... — Jeff G. 04:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, first, I agree that since may of the wikis use a version of it, it promotes uniformity across the board, the fact the people keep creating it says something. While articles show in the category, the use of the template is simple, and uniform. I think its placement at the top of and article is simple, informative and unobtrusive. As an example Category:Charles Klauder is a category where I think it works well. --Evrik 20:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- At Category:Charles Klauder it is redundant to the link just a few lines down. The template is currently only in English. In the previous deletion we say what happens when the text has 20 languages in it. Just a waste of space. --Pmsyyz 20:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Don't forget to mention you just edited it. I disagree that it is a wate of space. I found the translations useful. --Evrik 00:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Template:Catmore
{{catmore}} adds only totally redundant text to category pages. A link to the gallery for the images in a category should either be a link in the description or will always be the first link in the automatically generated content of the category if sorted correctly. --Pmsyyz 19:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete its much to dominating by opening the side. Orchi 19:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete The descriptions should be a the top, the template as it is is too invasive and takes over the page doing everything but making you go to the gallery page. Yonatan talk 19:39, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete category is sufficient. --Rtc 20:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

- This template exists in all Wikipedias, en:Template:Catmore, es:Template:Catmás, fr:Modèle:ArticlePrincipal, and here also since 2005. If the problem is its size, we can reduce the size of text, or remove all languages except english. In other hand this template isn't in each category of Commons. I was trying to do Commons really multilingual:
- Regards. --Emijrp 20:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Is it possible to use a CSS trick to show only user language preferences? --Emijrp 20:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- The majority of our users are not custom CSS using power users. --Pmsyyz 20:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment This template when used in English simply says, "The main article for this category is .." I say revert it back to the version that existed 10 December 2005. We should reaaly try to be consistent with the other wikis. --Evrik 21:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete --Torben 22:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete or at least stop the addition by bot and have it for manual addition only. The bot that is currently going around adding this to categories does so no matter how much content is already there; I first noticed this on Category:Alcamenes where the top of the page now contains many unnecessary lines of text. If necessary the text should be worked in with the existing translations, not added at the top. However, the main page for a category is usually *in* the category, and usually at the top (if properly added with [[Category:Foo| *]]. There is no reason to add a row of 8 or more lines merely saying "see the page for info" when you can merely add "See Foo" or even add something noticeable like Foo at the top of the page. -- Editor at Large • talk 01:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete just adds mess and redundancy. --G.dallorto 06:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete I applaud the commitment to multilingualism, but this really isn't necessary and will push actual content way off the screen. Man vyi 07:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Now, the template is only one line height. Is it better than before?--150.214.231.68 08:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Reply: Better, but still unnecessary. Man vyi 05:28, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Who has a bot do undo the changes? --ALE! ¿…? 17:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yonatan has a bot YonaBot that is removing Template:Catmore at present, and has been doing so for the past half hour, since this edit at 23:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC). — Jeff G. 00:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Deleted by Yonatanh: per Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Catmore, all uses of the template have been removed by bot
