A template for a two-item list. Looks like overkill to me. — Ungoliant (Falai) 00:10, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

- Why aren't we using the Appendix: namespace for lists like these? Pages there can still be transcluded, if that's why templates were being used. - dcljr (talk) 03:04, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Because these aren't intended to be appendices. Not sure what else to say, it's a bit like asking why the entry house isn't Appendix:house. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
- Not really. More like asking why
{{types of houses}}isn't at Appendix:Houses. In any case, now that I've looked through the list of "list:" templates more carefully, I guess I see the difference. Still, there is potentially much overlap in the kinds of topics covered by the two methods... (And note, BTW, that some "appendices" are in fact simply bare lists, as well.) - dcljr (talk) 00:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)- One notable example of the "overlap" I was referring to: Appendix:Days of the week vs. Template:list:days of the week/*. - dcljr (talk) 00:41, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- Because it's intended to function as a template, so the template namespace is somewhat unsurprisingly the best choice. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:55, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

- Merge with
{{list:moons of Earth/en}},{{list:moons of Jupiter/en}}etc. thru{{list:moons of Eris/en}}, which seems to be a whole family of templates in use at satellite, and which could with some tweaking probably be also employed for lists of coordinate terms for entries on names of moons. --Tropylium (talk) 20:12, 27 January 2015 (UTC) - Delete. This list is not gonna increase.--Dixtosa (talk) 18:57, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
