What are we using right now for current storm information if we don't have the infobox? ChessEric 19:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChessEric: Current storm information isnt allowed to be included period is the gist of what was said. This would include the current infobox, text, and watches/warnings templates. It violates WP:NOTNEWS and MOS:CURRENT. Noah, BSBA^Talk 19:38, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When was that decision made? ChessEric 19:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday at AN/I. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Editors removing formatted citations for bare URL citations. I opened the discussion over an external link issue and as non-weather editors looked at it, they all started pointing out how the "current" section for tropical articles violated NOTNEWS and such. Basically, a discussion for a minor-level debate (using external links over formatted citations) evolved into a removal of current/ongoing storm info once non-weather editors were involved.

Gosh dang it. Leave it to non-weather editors to pull this crap. They must have forgotten that we also have a current events template or they want to get rid of that too. ChessEric 20:04, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
