Template talk:Laptop style
In use or not?
After seeing [1], and consequently checking Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Laptop_style, I was wondering if this template is useful but forgotten, or we can actually do without it :)
The discussion that created it is [2].

- I think I simply forgot this template existed... but the main addition is the note in Category:Laptops, a separate template which links to it is less important in my view. -- Alad (talk) 14:12, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
- I like the way you've used Style in that article, I think adding a link to Category:Laptops in the message field is easy enough, and all the details are written there.
- If we don't need this template after all (it's not used at the moment) we can just delete it (it's only a little part of the good results that [3] produced, so I wouldn't see it as a regression).

- I also like how Style is used and think using Laptop Style might have been confusing in this case as well (the article does not duplicate really). I have just browsed a fair number of laptop articles again and did not see one where I would place the Laptop Style template in its current form. So, yeah, it should either be re-purposed to help with achieving similar TOC structure's in the future or deleted. Something like:
- "Please see the note in Category:Laptops on organization of laptop hardware content."
- Re-purposing it in this general manner of course makes it more important to give a specific reason why it is added, and one might end up using Style again because it is more flexible.
- I'm neutral on either. --Indigo (talk) 10:33, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
