Template:Indian boundaries

This template has been nominated for deletion since 13 March 2024. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page. Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: Per the still-open discussion at Village Pump/Proposals on political restriction templates. While I oppose "nuclear-bombing" templates like Falun Gong and Nazi templates, I fully support "nuclear-bombing" templates that seem to help impress the territorial claims of all countries. It is not the job of Wikimedia Commons to impress the governments of countries with disputed territorial claims, more so to warn Wikimedians and reusers that any reuses may violate the territorial laws of the said countries. We have a COM:General disclaimer page that already waives Commons the responsibility in such cases. It is mainly the job of individual Wikipedias to provide extensive information on territorial disputes. The users are responsible for their actions (as stated in our general disclaimer page); more so, the editors of all Wikipedias are responsible to ensure that their articles do not cross the line of fire of Indian (or even Philippine, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Malay, Indonesian, or Pakistani) authorities with regards to insertion of such contentious maps in articles that may discuss territorial disputes. Moreover, such restrictions on use of files are part of non-copyright restrictions, and we typically do not deal with such matters except in more frequent cases (which we typically respond by slapping {{Personality}} or other related templates to description pages of files). The fate of {{Chinese boundaries}} will depend on the outcome of this template deletion request.

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
