Template:Esoteric file

Template:Esoteric file (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

If it's in scope for Wikipedia, it's in scope for Commons. In essence, this seems to be a request to keep local due to the author's preferences, which makes it redundant to Template:Keep local and Template:Do not move to Commons.

Specifically, this could be accomplished via {{Do not move to Commons|reason here}}. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 00:21, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: if we delete, we should replace the file with the Do not move to Commons equivalent. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 00:25, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See this and this for the discussions that led to this template's creation. The point of the template isn't to honor the author's preference, but to categorize certain types of files as being unhelpful to move to commons. At the time, {{do not move to Commons}} contained a default message about legal issues, so it didn't fulfill this purpose. With its recent change to a blank rationale the tagger would have to fill in, it could fulfill the purpose of {{esoteric file}}, but with the many files falling into this category, I think a separate tag that doesn't require filling in that message would be preferred. equazcion → 00:31, 28 Dec 2014 (UTC)
Also see {{userspace file}} which is similar. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:43, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox The Legend of Korra character (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Delete as redundant. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:50, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
