Template talk:Empty

I know I voted on this when it was created, but it is redundant, unused, unneeded. The issue can be fixed in couple of minutes, it is a waste of time to just add this template. This, however sorta different from trivia, as sometimes the user won't be able to find a good place to place the trivia away from that section.-- 06:31, 14 February 2014 (EST)
 * I've been thinking the exact same, I'm not even sure this has ever actually been used.
 * So should it be deleted?-- 06:46, 14 February 2014 (EST)
 * May as well be.

Add an image to the template
Recently, there has been some talk about adding an image to (see this link for details). To answer Walkazo's request, I have requested an image be in this template, too. This is how I think the template should be once the image is added:  This article contains one or several empty sections. Please add short previews of the separate pages that are linked to by these sections.

Proposer: Deadline: February 9, 2015 at 23:59 GMT.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal and Walkazo's comments in the given TPP link.

Oppose

 * 1) Per reasons against the adding of image in the construction template, the current image is sticking out. Also, since its creation this template has never been used, in all honesty I see no reason for it to exist.
 * 2) Per Yoshi876.
 * 3) - Per Yoshi876 and myself in both the old and new construction template TPPs, seeing as I am emphatically against arbitrarily pasting ugly images in all our maintenance templates. It's unnecessary, it adds lots of blank space, it's often poorly formatted, no matter what you do it looks worse for some screen resolutions than others (while the plain templates are unoffensive to all), and as this idea shows, the images will often be completely irrelevant to the subject matter, so there's really no good reason for it to be there. If poorly planned and executed embellishments like this is what will result from the floodgates being opened by the construction vote, all the more reason why both TPPs should fail.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per Walkazo. Further comments below.
 * 6) I'm not categorically against adding images to template, but this is how not to do it. That ? block is off-center and random.
 * 7) It's a shame. This would look great if the box fit inside the template. I have posted a suggested resizing in the comments; if the ?-block is changed to fit inside the template, I will change my vote.

Comments
Well, first off, Stonehill, the comments of Walkazo's that you're pering are all against adding images to maintenance templates. I also can't find any hit of her requesting to you to make one about adding images anywhere, in fact (currently) the only mention I can find for that is from your own vote. If I'm missing something, point me to it and seeing as she just voted against, I don't think I'm missing anything. Secondly, why? The construction template discussion seems to be missing a crucial element that's not (currently) in this discussion. Namely, why. Don't tell me "this is a good idea", tell me why it's a good idea. Provide an argument for adding the image and then back up your argument with facts and examples. I can't speak for everyone, but I tend to auto-vote no when there is no argument presented. -- Ghost Jam 19:19, 26 January 2015 (EST)


 * Well, in a way, an example of what we're gonna have to deal with if the construction vote opens the door for further template images is useful for illustrating why it passing would be a bad thing. Not that I asked for an example either way, of course. Also, regarding the template draft here, the way it's formatted (with a fixed width) makes it run off the screen for narrower resolutions: this is what it looks like at 1024 px. For wider screens, it won't stretch all the way across, either, which is almost as unsightly. - 19:26, 26 January 2015 (EST)

This proposal has so much potential, but the ?-Block is off center. Here is a suggestion (you have 3 days to change the proposal):  This article contains one or several empty sections. Please add short previews of the separate pages that are linked to by these sections. For now, I oppose this proposal, but if the size gets changed, I will change my vote.
