Forum:Unnecessary Templates

We talked about this in chat yesterday about how these templates are unnecessary. Nobody cares who directed what episode or animated what episode. These could easily be put in the anime notes section. Below is an example of the unnecessary templates taken from episode 1.

Episodes Written by Junki Takegami, Episodes Art Directed by Tomoko Yoshida, Episodes Animated by Kazuya Hisada, Episodes Directed by Kōnosuke Uda. SeaTerror 18:19, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. Nobody cares about legitimate information out of the production of the show. What do we look like? An online encyclopedia? 04:54, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * The info is given in the episode infobox as well...

KILL THEM WITH FIRE! Seriously, who the fuck cares? The info is given in the infobox and I really don't think there's anybody hipster enough to only watch episodes directed by Kōnosuke Uda.

Epic Konosuke Uda... Anyways, if we already have them its fine, keep them. There is no point to delete them.

Ironic how the one that hates useless changes like these has now made a forum about the most useless change to start. Good work ST. Good work.

Those templates are used to categorized the episodes and they also add the respective informations in the infobox, so we can discuss if we should or not categorize the episodes (if not, then the templates are not necessary), but the informations in the infobox should definitely remain, otherwise we would not be an encyclopedia but only a One Piece fandom.

Keep the info in the infoboxes instead then. There's no reason at all to have templates for people nobody actually gives a shit about. SeaTerror (talk) 20:04, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. The categories are relevant. And the templates makes categories work. I don't see any problem.

They're only there to fluff up the category list at the bottom of the pages. The info would only be needed in the infoboxes. SeaTerror (talk) 20:50, July 16, 2012 (UTC)
