Delete the and  templates
It's been four months since My last proposal to create interwiki templates to various wikis (like NIWA) has been declined, and the and  templates are still there. In fact, the Super Mario Wiki does not need these. Like Steve said, when the prefixes work just fine. If you don't want to type things twice, just do either  or  ; the following will work: Mario for Wikipedia and Mario for Fandom. Just like that!

Support

 * 1) Per proposal

Oppose

 * 1) Just because there is a relatively short alternative way, it doesn't take away from the fact that the template names are even shorter. Especially the Fandom one.
 * 2) Per Axis.
 * 3) *cough* *sigh* "There is no point in change for the sake of change."
 * 4) Per Axis. The template names are already as short as they can get short of full-on one-letter templates of borderline incoherence, and we probably don't need to lengthen these names arbitrarily if anyone editing these already understands WP is Wikipedia and Fandom is... well, Wikia/Fandom. Besides, it saves time in inserting these links and in some extreme cases (read: basically any scenario involving Fandom articles) can even shrink the overall page size--both of those are very good things to have on particularly large articles!
 * 5) Per all, these templates are some added convenience that have no reason to be removed, and having just two such templates that are commonly used and easy to remember is quite different to the labyrinth of abbreviations suggested in the previous proposal (not that I really feel very strongly either way about the inclusion of those other templates, I just don't see the need to remove the ones we already have).
 * 6) Per all. I don't really see the point of doing this.

Comments
Axis@undefined Doesn't that logic mean the previous proposal should have passed, though? The templates proposed there had shorter parameters to type out, but people decided it was unnecesary. Shouldn't the same apply here? 13:31, September 25, 2023 (EDT)
