Template talk:For

Deletion request
According to this revision by, this template should be deleted as being redundant because of Template:For and Template:See also. First of all, such templates should be categorized or somehow documented somewhere because noone but the creator knew those templates existed (as evidenced by the small number of pages they were used in). Now that I created this template, it's clear that it has superior functionality compared to Template:For. As such, both templates should have the same code and one redirect to the other. The question is: Which name is better suited to appear in the template category for users to quickly understand what it does? My vote is for "About". &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 11:46, November 14, 2018 (EST)
 * This template has documentation, I'd rather keep this one. -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:39, November 14, 2018 (EST)
 * If they're going to be merged, you always merge the newer template into the older one for backwards compatibility with history pages. It doesn't mean you can't update the older template, but it needs to be the older one or things start breaking.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 08:22, November 15, 2018 (EST)
 * Done. Made the other template use this template and changed 2 pages that had a 3rd parameter. Added documentation and placed it under a category. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 09:05, November 15, 2018 (EST)

 * There wasn't a request to merge anything. As I said above, I made "For" template use the "About" template and things were smooth. What you did broke the pages that were using the "For" template as they had different parameters. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:46, November 21, 2018 (EST)
