{{Infobox Law enforcement agency}} categorisation?

Hi W,

As you are probably aware I am a relatively new editor, and {{Infobox Law enforcement agency}} is my first template.

My question is, why the change you made to the template's categorisation? If anything I would have taken out politics and left government in? I am not really fussed either way, but should you have put some rationale on Template talk:Infobox Law enforcement agency? Cheers. Peet Ern (talk) 05:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I didn't understand your recent edit to Template:Daijō-kan. Although I have no doubt that I'll figure it out in due course, I'm not feeling any pressure to grasp all the technical details at once. Nevertheless, I'm persuaded it makes sense to ask you to look over the categorization in the following:

• A1 Template:Emperors of Japan
• A2 Template:Japanese Honors and Decorations

• B1 Template:Ashikaga dynasty (Japan)
• B2 Template:Tokugawa Organization Chart
• B3 Template:Emperor Nintoku (Japan)

I have a few questions. Maybe you have answers?

1. What is the term-of-art for the kind of "Navbox" template which has only serial links, with serial chronology as the only relationship between links -- as in "A" above?

2. What is the term-of-art for the "Navbox" template which presents relationships amongst links in a tree-like or chain-of-command structure -- as in "B" above?

I'm sorry to say that I don't yet understand what you were trying to explain at Talk:Tenmei#Noinclude; but eventually I will figure it out. Sometimes we are all a little bit slow to take in new concepts; and this is just one of those occasions, I guess. In the meantime, I do want to avoid creating problems. --Tenmei (talk) 16:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Template deletion

Confused Is there an oustanding reason why you deleted some of these templates but not others? -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Makes sense That's what I figured. Thanks. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

TfD changes

Well, I made the change since the two newest days were missing. I did not know that there was a bot. But it is obvious that the bot was not doing it's job if the new days were not appearing. I'm not sure what the solution is. Maybe it needs to be on the talk page for TfD. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Category:City templates

Hi again, thanks for the alert about the above. Standby please; I'll get back to you in sec. Sardanaphalus (talk) 05:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• Arrg, sorry, I think I'm getting confused. Where is the "Category:[something] navbox templates" that has a "Category:[something] infobox templates" category in it? Sardanaphalus (talk) 05:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• It's meant to contain only navbox templates (with the possible exceptions) but that isn't also intended to mean it can't/shouldn't contain infobox/ambox/stub/etc categories. It looks like that's not sufficiently clear in the {{template category}} note, so shall I rephrase that? Sardanaphalus (talk) 05:16, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• I think the problem is that I haven't quite redirected these categories at the right moment and/or order, plus the notes probably do need to be made more visible/explicit. (I saw, however, that they were eating up space on the page.) The idea is that named "navbox templates" categories should ultimately become redundant, removing a layer from the system. Give me a while to work through what you've spotted (I may have to log off for a while in a moment) and I should be able to get on top of it. But thanks for spotting it!

• If all the navigational (navbox) templates on topic T are in "Category:T templates", either with one or two infobox/stub/etc templates as well (indexed ...| ]] / ...|µ]] / etc respectively) or "Category:T infobox templates", "Category:T ambox templates", etc (indexed ...| ]]), then there should be no need for a "Category:T navbox templates". If a bunch or bunches of navbox templates relating to T belong together, they can be subcategories of "Category:T templates" and indexed accordingly. For instance, the category listing for "T templates" could look like:

Subcategories
-------------

• T infobox templates

A
• A-load-of-T-subtopic templates

M
• More-grouped-T-subtopic templates


Pages in category "T templates"
-------------------------------

A
• Template:A T-topic template
• Template:Another T-topic template

T
• Template:Third T-topic template

Y
• Template:Yet another T-topic template

µ
• Template:T-topic-stub-template

Does that make sense? Sardanaphalus (talk) 05:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
