These templates make editing listed building pages with the VisualEditor very difficult. This is an accesibility issue as it prevents editors unfamiliar with wikicode (either due to lack of experience or a disability that makes manipulating large quantities of text harder) from contributing. A simple task such as wikilinking Park Bridge, Aberdeenshire in List of Category A listed buildings in Aberdeenshire is impossible. When one clicks on the table in VisualEditor and tries to edit it, the editor freezes which is a confusing and poor user experience. These pages are especially long and so would benefit from the ease of editing that the VisualEditor brings.
The template adds formatting for coordinates, but this could easily be achieved using other templates within a table. This would allow these templates to be editable with the VisualEditor interface.
I propose this template and Template:HS listed building row are deleted (or at least, deprecated) and swapped for standard wikitext tables. NemesisAT (talk) 10:13, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. This deletion nomination for templates that are used productively on over 1,000 pages seems premature, given that there is no discussion at the talk page for either template, and a TemplateData section has not been added to either template's documentation page. Start with attempting to modify the templates first, please. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:21, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- I've tried editing again and sat and waited for it to load and a dialogue for editing has finally loaded after a while waiting. So the page is at least editable, however each parameter can only be edited essentially as source code. The VisualEditor tools for adding references, images, and templates are not accesible. Thus I still think the tables should be converted to standard wikitext tables, and TemplateData would not resolve these concerns (though it could add some explanation for each parameter).

- As the template freezes the Visual editor when edited for me, I don't think a TemplateData section would be much use. I started the discussion here as I just don't see a good reason for this template to exist. It makes the code a bit shorter for source code users, but this should not be at the expense of visual editor users. NemesisAT (talk) 15:42, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Please see the instructions above:
Templates should not be nominated if the issue can be fixed by normal editing.
Since that has not yet been tried, this nomination is premature. It sounds like you need Wikipedia:Help desk if you are having trouble using your page editor of choice. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:54, 31 May 2022 (UTC)- The issue can not be fixed with normal editing. Having the table as a template makes it impossible to use VisualEditor features to format items within the table. The only way to fix this, as far as I know, is to not have a template and use a normal table instead. There is no need for a template when a standard wikitable would suffice.
