Template talk:Bmitobodytype

Needed?

I know none of us, use this template in the biobix at all. One user did who created it, but no long visits here anymore. So the question is, is this template necessary or even needed? Apara 01:18, 15 December 2008 (EST)

Oh, it is being used in some articles: http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Bmitobodytype But they could be converted back. Prophecy 12:01, 15 December 2008 (EST)

Right... I was going to vote "Delete" here too, but I've long avoided the "Body type" field (except for obvious BBWs) because it can be so subjective. I think a more objective way of determining the type is a good idea. I hadn't used this because I didn't take the time to see how it works. I think I see how now, and will try using it in my next few bio stubs. So my vote is, hold off for now, let's give it a try and see how it works, then, maybe, remove it.

OK, I gave it a try with Fusako Miwa, and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to get it to work :-(... It occurs to to me that the only models I work on whose weight is given are the obvious BBWs anyway, and we don't need another two templates on the page, plus all the calculus involved to tell us that they're BBWs. So I say we don't need this. Dekkappai 23:27, 15 December 2008 (EST)

Hm, so we should slap a delete request on this? Apara 00:25, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Well, the two of us apparently aren't going to use it, and Prophecy seems to be 50/50 on it, so unless we get input from a lot of others saying the opposite, I'd say delete. Dekkappai 09:07, 16 December 2008 (EST)

I doubt other editors are going to oppose this deletion, majority probably don't care. I already put a deletion request on it. Apara 19:32, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Oh, I'm not 50/50 on it - I never used it. I only said that you have to convert the existing pages before deleting it. But I saw that you already did and no pages link to it anymore, so I have nothing against deleting it. I know it would be possible to do the body type calculation automatically, but - it would blow up the biobox template with very much code for the moment. The server seems to be able to handle our templates for the moment, but often enough I still get those errors when saving a page and have to retry several times. So I'll leave this idea somewhere in my head with a C or less priority... :-)
