Start[edit]

I just started a template for topics related to the end of human civilization, humanity, the Earth, and the universe. It's still very much a rough draft right now, and isn't ready for any articles, but eventually it should be wroth something. Named Template:Doomsday for now. --Wasted Sapience 21:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and add this to a couple of articles in order to get the word out. --Wasted Sapience 21:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

End of the world[edit]

End of the world and Doomsday cover a lot of the same thing, but different terms. I might have called this template "End of the world" and linked to it as the top-level article.. but then I can see why Doomsday was chosen also. How we do we deal with Doomsday vs EOTW and are there any others like that? -- Stbalbach 00:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Astronomical links[edit]

If no-one minds, I will delete the astronomical links in the template. Doomsday, according to the article, is a possible ending to all human life, in an scientific or metaphysical way. The ultimate end of the universe doesn't seem part of it, in my humble opinion. --Soetermans (talk) 13:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the request, assuming you want it to remain a template. --BDD (talk) 18:14, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Default oppose. No rationale offered for move, template has a stable name. Template name doesn't always have to match the "header." SnowFire (talk) 20:40, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Template names are often a memorable shorthand to use in {{inserttemplatename}} for editors, not meant to correspond exactly to the title displayed, which may may be formatted in a different way because of layout or other reasons. ^walk victor falk^talk 18:08, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
