Reimplementation of KeyDescription and ValueDescription templates

I have substantially overhauled the {{KeyDescription}} and {{ValueDescription}} templates, with the new versions at User:Moresby/KeyDescription and User:Moresby/ValueDescription. I am looking for comments on this discussion page and would value any constructive contributions. Thanks. Moresby (talk) 18:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Is this template still needed?

Can we just get rid of it as not needed duplicate of Template:KeyDescription? Or at least redirect there?

Note as it loads state from data items it is anyway breaking view of old pages, so deleting it completely and removing it there would not make things worse - rather it will make them less confusing

I propose to delete this template page.

Not used, but I would keep it because when one looks at an older version of an article they can see the infobox. I think there's no harm with keeping it. maro21 20:24, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Actually, due to pulling from wikibase items on old versions result is more confusing with infobox being visible. Also, it is confusing for maintaining scripts parsing OSM wiki such as one run in https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/4309 which keep supporting zombie templates. And many similar templates were deleted. Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 17:50, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
I changed the template and now it doesn't take data from data items - I restored the older version. I don't insist on leaving this template, but on the other hand I don't understand your argument about template parsing. If the template is not used, what specifically is it interfering with? Where is this template on your commit? maro21 21:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
It makes impossible to remove it from script/misc/update-wiki-pages Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 07:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Mateusz Konieczny: [1] why did you remove delete request? You yourself requested the deletion, which I reverted for the discussion time and then decided you were right and the template is not needed. maro21 20:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
