Labor[edit]

Can we add a category to historical documents called 'Labor'? Barbara (WVS) (talk) 12:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This template covers the specific 18th century founding documents themselves, and maybe a better title for it would add the word 'founding'. Do you have examples of documents that you are thinking of? Maybe, if they don't fit here, a new template on the topic can be created. Randy Kryn 12:14, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

As a result of the TfD from April 3, there is consensus to split the template, but since there isn't a clear decision in which sections to be split, I will initiate the discussion right below here. ToadetteEdit! 19:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ToadetteEdit, no sections should be split, this is a full navbox entitled 'Founding documents of the United States' which follows the format of hundreds of other navboxes which cover multiple sections of various topics. Gwillhickers and others discussed this major navbox, the argument for leaving it intact achieved valid points of view, and to focus on "splitting" (especially saying there was a "strong consensus to split" which, in good faith, seems both incorrect and redefines the term "strong consensus") would add several more navboxes to quite a few articles (each of the four navboxes, for example, would be placed on the National Archives display page, three on the Journals of the Continental Congress, etc.). Toadette, your decision to close to split this navbox with little explanation, just as we are entering the 250th birthday celebrations of the United States, should, hopefully, be itself reconsidered, and reopened or "Kept" as it has been since 2010.
