Disagree. There is a third game in the series, Amnesia: Rebirth. The game releases in 12 days and should be getting its own separate article. It should also be added to the template. Even if there weren't a third game, two entries is absolutely enough to be considered a series or franchise. The point of having a template is for consistent and convenient navigation UI. Deleting this template would be a mistake. [[Special:Contributions/174.28.115.149|174.28.115.149]] ([[User talk:174.28.115.149|talk]]) 01:23, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

These templates were created by Rikker04 back in 2008 and were only used in a handful of articles. As a fork of the (since deprecated old implementation of the) railway route diagram template scheme, the format isn't really suited for highways (it tends to collect overly detailed information and clutter the page due to its large footprint). Other schemes for presenting major highway crossings are in wider use (e.g. [[Template:Infobox road]]), and supersede this one as far as the most relevant information is concerned.

[[Template:Hyper]] is a clear duplicate of [[Template:Intentional hyperbole]] that was just created.

*No, please do not merge. They have two different purposes/uses, and this one has nothing to do with peacock terms or copy editing; rather, it is more along the line of {{fbdb}} relative to [[Poe's law]]. I was inspired to create it because it just happened to me in a discussion. Example:{{tq|Editor #1 - You said John Doe had small hands and that's a lie. Editor #2 - I wasn't lying, it was {hyper}. Next time I will add the template to my comment.}} The joker graphic also indicates that it was said jokingly. Peacock terms relates to article content - no similarity at all, and I don't see any way an editor will conflate one with the other based on the wording of the templates.

Leave the hyperbole template for use in copy editing. We actually use inline text when reviewing articles, so it is important.

The result of the discussion was '''merge'''<!-- Tfd top --> to [[Template:Family name hatnote]]. This discussion has been a controversial one with a lot of participants. Numerically the opposers have a majority, but many of the oppose !votes either misunderstood the proposal or raised abstract concerns about implementation and did not respond to explanations or requests for specific issues with the testcases. These !votes were disregarded or given significantly less weight when determining the consensus. Most of the other opposers argued that the combined template would be harder to use or maintain, was a bad coding practice, or could lead to confusion. These arguments and variations upon them were considered strong but were fewer in number than !votes supporting consolidation. As this is essentially a question of design philosophy both arguments were considered equally strong resulting in a rough consensus for the merger. It is also worth noting that there is a precedent for merging name hatnotes from [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 September 4#Template:Arabic name]] where the vast majority of participants (many of which didn't participate here) supported consolidation. <small>[[Wikipedia:NACD|(non-admin closure)]]</small> --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 12:10, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

'''Propose merging''' [[Template:Catalan name]] with [[Template:Family name hatnote]].<br />
This is a continuation (or Part 2) of [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_September_4#Template:Arabic_name|this discussion]], which is continuing to merge and standardize the family name hatnotes. All templates have been pre-merged into the sandbox and [[Template:Family name hatnote/testcases|tested]] (using the examples from each hatnote's documentation). Yes, I know the wording/displays are sometimes slightly different, but again this is about standardization and getting ''pretty close'' to the same message regardless of language; all of the original/relevant information is included in the merged version.

I don't object to the consolidation, which I trust Primefac has coded well, but in terms of ordering, I think we'd do better to first try to figure out how we want to clarify surnames, and only then move on to the more technical question of figuring out how best to use templates to implement. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 23:02, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

I know I'm quite heavily involved in the template side of Wikipedia, but if the only major argument for "harm" here is "it's more complex", keep in mind most of these templates are TE-protected anyway, so requests for change need to be made on the talk page (i.e. someone unfamiliar with the coding doesn't necessarily need to know ''how'' to do what they want).

* '''Comment''' ''If'' the mega template can handle ''all exceptions'' but how do we know that?

*:{{u|Teemeah}}, you are more than welcome to look at each of the individual templates; their code is actually quite straight-forward, and the new template takes every switch and if statement into account. You don't have to check "every transclusion" to make sure it works; all that is necessary is to look at the possible inputs for the nominated templates, and then test those against the sandbox, to see that they give the same outputs; if not, the family name template can be easily amended (which is, after all, the entire point of sandboxing).

None of the opposing arguments tried to specifically address what language from the above list fails to work and I have a feeling most didn't even look at the testcases.

*Christ...{{pb}}Question for {{u|Primefac}}: I have took a look at [[Template:Family name hatnote/testcases|the testcases]], along with the current source of some of the named templates (particularly {{t|Chinese name}}, {{t|Korean name}}, towards which there is vocal opposition, about what who knows). Testcases look fine to me, as does the logic in the target template of handling such cases. The only technical difference I can see is that {{t|Chinese name}} and {{t|Korean name}} handle blank usages of the template (and, Chinese one at least, categorises into [[:Category:Pages using Template:Chinese name with no first parameter]]), eg see [[Li Mengling]]. It's not very commonly used functionality. Just curious, does/will the target template support this niche functionality, or would these usages be converted to explicitly state what needs to be stated? On this note, I'm surprised the opposers aren't concerned by any 'mistakes' that can happen in the current set of templates with this 'functionality'. [[User:ProcrastinatingReader|ProcrastinatingReader]] ([[User talk:ProcrastinatingReader|talk]]) 14:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
*:I was the one that created that category and added it to the template, because I wanted to see if I needed to add that logic in to the merge target. Given that there are only ~60 uses out of ~16k transclusions, it is clearly not a well-advertised (or even well-used) hack. If and when the template gets converted into a wrapper, the <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> functionality will be passed to the new template as just a normal parameter; on your example page, {{tlf|Chinese name}} would become {{tlf|family name hatnote|Li|lang{{=}}Chinese}} after substing.

*::Makes sense. '''Support''' merge as proposed. The opposes, many of which seem like knee-jerk pile-ons, fit into three categories: procedural (due to a recent nomination), 'technical concerns' without specifying any in particular, and "not an improvement". As far as procedural concerns go, the TfD is entirely proper; the couple were withdrawn from previous and the implementation modified, as one would expect a responsible nominator to do. As far as technical concerns go, none have been specified, and as far as I can see none seem to exist -- the source templates are only doing basic text output... The proposed templates (that I've checked) aren't doing any text manipulation, so I don't know where these "Asian templates fundamentally different" fears come from. They're literally outputting strings with given parameters. Parameter flipping seems to be the only notable difference from an editor POV, and a trivial one at that. The testcases say all there is to see here. Some seem to oppose on the basis of old testcases, and have evidenced that they haven't even looked at the current ones.

The proposed merge target template is already a patched-together monstrosity of different cases for different types of names for different cultures, and despite that appears to have no obvious way to deal with Russian patronymic+surname, varying gender markers on surnames from various Slavic languages (instead being coded under the false pretense that all Slavic people use a single naming convention), Icelandic patronymic-instead-of-surname, Indian patronymic-looking-like-first-initial, etc. Taken to the extreme of including all name formats for all cultures would make an unmanageable mess. That's why we have a template namespace with the ability to make different templates with different names: so we don't have to try to make one template that will be all things to all people. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 06:23, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
*:Keep in mind we're only on step 2 of likely 3 or 4; I left out the patronymic names ''because'' they didn't fit into the scheme, and honestly I think I'm going to have to build a separate patronymic template (something like {{t|patronymic name hatnote}}) to cover all of the ''other'' hatnote templates that deal with patronymics. This is not the finished product, and I am always willing to tweak the wording or structure to make it easier to understand. Hell, I just removed a dozen lines of redundant code from both the template and its sandbox to make things easier to read/proof.
*:Just because something is difficult doesn't mean it shouldn't be done; by having all of the languages in the same place, we can see what the differences are and maybe even eliminate some of them; right now my main focus is just demonstrating that we don't ''need'' a dozen different templates; the polish comes later (though, incidentally, not the Polish, as they have no template).

*:*See [[WP:BLUDGEON]].

*'''Comment''' I have tried using the template in some articles with Slavic and Turkish names, and it seems that the result was not what was intended because some parameters do not even show up in the result. It could be applicable for many Western naming conventions, but otherwise if not. And, as others have pointed out here, there are just too many exceptions and special cases that have not been replicated by this template, and careless code alterations could break transclusions on tens of thousands of pages.

The information belongs inside the article, probably as a footnote after the [[MOS:FULLNAME]] (or in the "name" section if there is one). Having it as a hatnote is often confusing for a reader (see e.g. [[Cristiano Ronaldo]]) and usually gives undue prominence to what is typically a minor piece of information. If merging them all into a single template will help speed the transition away from their being a hatnote at all, then I am in favour; otherwise, I don't care and will continue to oppose the use of any of them.

*'''Strong support'''. I applaud Primefac for opening this discussion because I agree that a TfD tag is the best way to a grab the attention of everyone using these templates for a centralized discussion. I think many of the opposers are confused about the outcome - this isn't proposing to delete the templates altogether or remove the functionality of existing templates, but rather put them all into a container template. This also liberates editors to think about other ways of hatnoting names e.g. Hong Kong and Malaysia names without worrying about which existing template to use.

I suppose that means there is no redirect from any of the other languages merged into that hatnote either. Of course, if there is one hatnote even for a few languages more than one but less than all, there has to be a redirect for every language.

* '''Keep''' agree with discussion above - it should never be used as a source, since that site is user-edited with minimal editorial control. But having the template as a convenience to creating external links is pretty useful to editors. It makes it trivial to add grave information to historical biographies, which is useful as some readers may want to go visit to pay their respects. Also, Find-a-grave ID numbers are cross referenced on more than one geneological site (example: FamilySearch/Ancestry.com). That creates the opportunity for our articles to be connected into research being done in other venues.
::ETA: I would also point out that Wikidata has a property [[wikidata:Property:P535|Find A Grave memorial ID]] that has existed since 2013 and I see no discussion over there about deletion or its worthiness. Also, there no less than 22 different projects that reference that property in their templates.

No reason to create new rules for these group of templates, which we don't do for any other template. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 15:49, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
*: So you seem to be suggesting that there are a lot of navboxes and infoboxes that should be summarily deleted for breach of copyright!  Where are these "standards of ownership" documented?
*: On what basis do you claim that there is a 'new rule' for templates?  The mechanism has been here for a while, but the scope is all pages.
*: As the history of this template is short, I have been able to prepare for probably adequate remedial action if the history is deleted; this was after becoming aware of the prospect of deletion.  I've 'temporarily' recorded the history on the copy's talk page.  (There's a lot of translation work to be done, but I don't trust my translations.)  --[[User:RichardW57|RichardW57]] ([[User talk:RichardW57|talk]]) 21:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
*::No, I'm saying that the fact that you added that notice to the talk page and are now suggesting that an unused sub-template of a page, cannot be deleted, while this venues deletes dozens of pages on a weekly bases is nonsense. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 20:16, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
If this template is deleted, please check the following for licence violations: 
https://gd.wiktionary.org/wiki/Teamplaid:High-use/num

Some one needs to create an account and stick a copyright violation notice on sq {{tl2|High-use/num|lang=sq}} now.

And a general Wikimedia account will suffice to stick a notice now on Burmese {{tl2|High-use/num|lang=my}}. 

I'm not sure how to approach Chinese {{tl2|High-use/num|lang=zh}}, Indonesian {{tl2|High-use/num|lang=id}} and Min Nan {{tl2|High-use/num|lang=zh-min-nan}}.  What's the appropriate mechanism for a protected template with a broken documentation link? --[[User:RichardW57|RichardW57]] ([[User talk:RichardW57|talk]]) 23:06, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': {{tq|The edit summary should provide either a link to the original source or a list of all contributors.}} ([[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]]). Dummy edits should achieve the second method of attribution. Definitely no reason to keep these templates for that. They could also be redirected to the main template, if really desired, but it seems like some of those projects aren't attributing at all so that wouldn't solve the issue.
