Proposed deletion

On this page, the deletion or merging of templates and modules, except as noted below, is discussed. To propose the renaming of a template or templates, use Wikipedia:Requested moves.

How to use this page[edit]

What not to propose for discussion here[edit]

Shortcut

The majority of deletion and merger proposals concerning pages in the template namespace and module namespace should be listed on this page. However, there are a few exceptions:

Stub templates
Stub templates and categories should be listed at Categories for discussion, as these templates are merely containers for their categories, unless the stub template does not come with a category and is being nominated by itself.
Userboxes
Userboxes should be listed at Miscellany for deletion, regardless of the namespace in which they reside.
Speedy deletion candidates
If the template clearly satisfies a criterion for speedy deletion, tag it with a speedy deletion template. For example, if you wrote the template and request its deletion, tag it with {{Db-author}}.
Policy or guideline templates
Templates that are associated with particular Wikipedia policies or guidelines, such as the speedy deletion templates, cannot be listed at TfD separately. They should be discussed on the talk page of the relevant guideline.
Template redirects
List at Redirects for discussion.

Reasons to delete a template[edit]

Shortcut
  1. The template violates some part of the template namespace guidelines, and can't be altered to be in compliance.
  2. The template is redundant to a better-designed template.
  3. The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used.
  4. The template violates a policy such as Neutral point of view or Civility and it can't be fixed through normal editing.

Templates should not be nominated if the issue can be fixed by normal editing. Instead, you should edit the template to fix its problems. If the template is complex and you don't know how to fix it, WikiProject Templates may be able to help.

Templates for which none of these apply may be deleted by consensus here. If a template is being misused, consider clarifying its documentation to indicate the correct use, or informing those that misuse it, rather than nominating it for deletion. Initiate a discussion on the template talk page if the correct use itself is under debate.

Listing a template[edit]

Shortcuts

To list a template for deletion or merging, follow this three-step process. The use of Twinkle (explained below) is strongly recommended, as it automates and simplifies these steps. Note that the "Template:" prefix should not be included anywhere when carrying out these steps (unless otherwise specified).

Step Instructions
I: Tag the template. Add one of the following codes to the top of the template page:

Note:

  • If the template nominated is inline, do not add a newline between the TfD notice and the code of the template.
  • If the template to be nominated for deletion is protected, make a request for the TfD tag to be added, by posting on the template's talk page and using the {{editprotected}} template to catch the attention of administrators or Template editors.
  • For templates designed to be substituted, add <noinclude>...</noinclude> around the TfD notice to prevent it from being substituted alongside the template.
  • Do not mark the edit as minor.
  • Use an edit summary like
    Nominated for deletion; see [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion#Template:name of template]]
    or
    Nominated for merging; see [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion#Template:name of template]].
  • Before saving your edit, preview your edit to ensure the Tfd message is displayed properly.

Multiple templates: If you are nominating multiple related templates, choose a meaningful title for the discussion (like "American films by decade templates"). Tag every template with {{subst:Tfd|heading=discussion title}} or {{subst:Tfm|name of other template|heading=discussion title}} instead of the versions given above, replacing discussion title with the title you chose (but still not changing the PAGENAME code).

Related categories: If including template-populated tracking categories in the TfD nomination, add {{Catfd|template name}} to the top of any categories that would be deleted as a result of the TfD, this time replacing template name with the name of the template being nominated. (If you instead chose a meaningful title for a multiple nomination, use {{Catfd|header=title of nomination}} instead.)

TemplateStyles pages: The above templates will not work on TemplateStyles pages. Instead, add a CSS comment to the top of the page:

/* This template is being discussed in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Help reach a consensus at its entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022_March_7#Template:template_name.css */
II: List the template at TfD. Follow this link to edit today's TfD log.

Add this text to the bottom of the page:

  • For deletion: {{subst:Tfd2|template name|text=Why you think the template should be deleted. ~~~~}}
  • For merging: {{subst:Tfm2|template name|other template's name|text=Why you think the templates should be merged. ~~~~}}

If the template has had previous TfDs, you can add {{Oldtfdlist|previous TfD without brackets|result of previous TfD}} directly after the Tfd2/Catfd2 template.

Use an edit summary such as
Adding [[Template:template name]].

Multiple templates: If this is a deletion proposal involving multiple templates, use the following:

{{subst:Tfd2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be deleted. ~~~~}}

You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters | ). Make sure to include the same meaningful discussion title that you chose before in Step 1.

If this is a merger proposal involving more than two templates, use the following:

{{subst:Tfm2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|with=main template (optional)|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be merged. ~~~~}}

You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters | ), plus one more in |with=. |with= does not need to be used, but should be the template that you want the other templates to be merged into. Make sure to include the same meaningful discussion title that you chose before in Step 1.

Related categories: If this is a deletion proposal involving a template and a category populated solely by templates, add this code after the Tfd2 template but before the text of your rationale:

{{subst:Catfd2|category name}}
III: Notify users. Please notify the creator of the template nominated (as well as the creator of the target template, if proposing a merger). It is helpful to also notify the main contributors of the template that you are nominating. To find them, look in the page history or talk page of the template. Then, add one of the following:

to the talk pages of the template creator (and the creator of the other template for a merger) and the talk pages of the main contributors. It is also helpful to make any interested WikiProjects aware of the discussion. To do that, make sure the template's talk page is tagged with the banners of any relevant WikiProjects; please consider notifying any of them that do not use Article alerts.

Multiple templates: There is no template for notifying an editor about a multiple-template nomination: please write a personal message in these cases.

Consider adding any templates you nominate for TfD to your watchlist. This will help ensure that the TfD tag is not removed.

After nominating: Notify interested projects and editors[edit]

While it is sufficient to list a template for discussion at TfD (see above), nominators and others sometimes want to attract more attention from and participation by informed editors. All such efforts must comply with Wikipedia's guideline against biased canvassing.

To encourage participation by less experienced editors, please avoid Wikipedia-specific abbreviations in the messages you leave about the discussion, link to any relevant policies or guidelines, and link to the TfD discussion page itself. If you are recommending that a template be speedily deleted, please give the criterion that it meets.

Notifying related WikiProjects[edit]

WikiProjects are groups of editors that are interested in a particular subject or type of editing. If the article is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, they may welcome a brief, neutral note on their project's talk page(s) about the TfD. You can use {{Tfdnotice}} for this.

Tagging the nominated template's talk page with a relevant Wikiproject's banner will result in the template being listed in that project's Article Alerts automatically, if they subscribe to the system. For instance, tagging a template with {{WikiProject Physics}} will list the discussion in Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Article alerts.

Notifying substantial contributors to the template[edit]

While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the template and its talkpage that you are nominating for discussion. To find the creator and main contributors, look in the page history or talk page.

At this point, you've done all you need to do as nominator. Sometime after seven days have passed, someone else will either close the discussion or, where needed, "relist" it for another seven days of discussion. (That "someone" may not be you, the nominator.)

Once you have submitted a template here, no further action is necessary on your part. If the nomination is successful it will be added to the Holding Cell until the change is implemented. There is no requirement for nominators to be part of the implementation process, but they are allowed to if they so wish.

Also, consider adding any templates you nominate to your watchlist. This will help ensure that your nomination tag is not mistakenly or deliberately removed.

Twinkle[edit]

Twinkle is a convenient tool that can perform many of the posting and notification functions automatically, with fewer errors and missed steps than manual editing. Twinkle does not notify WikiProjects, although many of them have automatic alerts. It is helpful to notify any interested WikiProjects that don't receive alerts, but this has to be done manually.

Discussion[edit]

Anyone can join the discussion, but please understand the deletion policy and explain your reasoning.

People will sometimes also recommend subst or subst and delete and similar. This means the template text should be "merged" into the articles that use it. Depending on the content, the template page may then be deleted; if preserving the edit history for attribution is desirable, it may be history-merged with the target article or moved to mainspace and redirected.

Templates are rarely orphaned—that is, removed from pages that transclude them—before the discussion is closed. A list of open discussions eligible for closure can be found at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Old unclosed discussions.

Closing discussion[edit]

Administrators should read the closing instructions before closing a nomination. Note that WP:XFDCloser semi-automates this process and ensures all of the appropriate steps are taken.

Current discussions[edit]

March 7[edit]

Template:Lynching in India[edit]

Unused navbox with all articles covered by the category that's linked in the title. Better to navigate through the category as there is no mainspace article for such a subject. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lynching is an issue in India and there had been many incidents, so I have created this template. Still, the choice of Wikipedia editors is respectted. Nadiallah (talk) 10:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A navbox has significant advantages that make it distinctly more useful than a category. a nav box is highly useful in its own right for some purposes, such as, for example, topics that are highly relevant to social concerns and to public policy, such as this one, which is indeed highly relevant to major societal issues. --Sm8900 (talk) 17:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your claim that navboxes have a significant advantage over categories when it comes to navigation, after all, they are called navboxes for a reason. But this basically copies all the articles in the category. The major social issue is not of concern with this nomination. Completely irrelevant. Template:Lynching in the United States is a far more useful navbox for one reason, it provides easier navigation you can't get from its relevant categories. The U.S. navbox is far more useful than this one. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 18:40, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 13:04, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The edit-summary field/old[edit]

Unused sub-templates of Template:The edit-summary field. Gonnym (talk) 07:37, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 11:49, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Clips of tics[edit]

This template just contains a link to a now deleted YouTube video; I don't really see the point. Endwise (talk) 05:53, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yep, Delete; all three clips are now gone, and a video has replaced them. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 06:01, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:U.S. Supreme Court composition 1812–1823[edit]

Unused completely or used only in a talk page. The rest of the set was deleted here. This style of templates was not wanted. Gonnym (talk) 06:31, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, before doing mass deletes of a large number of templates, especially those related to a high-popularity page or pages relating to a subject like the Supreme Court of the United States and cases decided there, might break who knows how many pages. May I suggest the following: There is a "feature" - I'm not sure what it's called - where someone can receive a notification when someone refers to them on their own talk page. Now I may be completely wrong, but, if it does do that, put these flags on those pages, there's only what, about 10, 20 of them and see over some period, a week or 30 days, some reasonable number dependent on traffic, and if no notifications occur then you've proven your case and I'd have no objections. My concern is that dozens or potentially hundreds of pages are broken because these are removed. Sure, there are no direct references on articles, but as someone who has edited hundreds of templates, especially to add a feature or correct something, I am aware that some templates indirectly invoke others through macro substitution, meaning one template references another as a parameter rather than a link, and the linkage is programmatically created at page rendering time, not when the page was composed, built, or published, and thus no database references are present. That is what worries me; you make one otherwise innocuous change, and it cascades to break hundreds of pages.
As I see it, this many pages on a related subject must have been created because someone (or multiple people) felt they needed something to be inserted or calculated, to put on an article page. If it can be reasonably shown doing this doesn't break something else, then I say fine, round them up and put them against the wall to be shot, err I mean deleted. It is possible it could be that these were used for some purpose, then deprecated in favor of replacing them with something else, but never bothered to delete it or ask for it to be deleted; that's also a case where it will not cause a problem.
Let's not find out through excessive zeal that we break things.
I have another suggestion. Copy the text of these to the same page in the Drafts namespace. Then blank out the template except for having it put a huge jarring message block telling the reader this page uses something that was thought to be unused, and they should contact you immediately so this can be fixed. If nobody at all complains after a month or whatever is reasonable, then yank these pages.
Maybe I've gone on too long, but I just don't want to see something unexpected get broken.

"Understanding of things by me is only made possible by people — who read my comments — like you."

Thank you.

  • We've already deleted a huge chunk of these already, so I'd expect that if there was a major issue, we'd have found it by now. Nigej (talk) 20:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
None of the above templates are used, either directly or indirectly, other than 1 or two talk pages. This does not break anything and no research is needed. As I've stated in the previous batch, most of the templates were used in a single article which was deleted via AfD with editors specifically opting not to use this style of templates. Gonnym (talk) 20:52, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WIKISOO/Round 4[edit]

Unused and since the Education Program was removed, the notice at the top is not relevant anymore. Gonnym (talk) 06:46, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WIKISOO self-paced[edit]

Unused external link navbox. Gonnym (talk) 06:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Visible short description[edit]

Unused and not likely to be used either. If a user wants to see the short description, they can always add .shortdescription { display:block !important; } to their css page. Gonnym (talk) 07:01, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Chris Evert start boxes[edit]

Unused and seeing as how Chris Evert is bombed was so many achievements templates already, it's good that there isn't yet another one. Gonnym (talk) 07:08, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Christian navboxes[edit]

Unused and at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Template:Judeo-Christian navboxes there was no consensus to split Template:Judeo-Christian navboxes. Delete without redirect. Gonnym (talk) 07:11, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Jewish navboxes[edit]

Used, however at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Template:Judeo-Christian navboxes there was no consensus to split Template:Judeo-Christian navboxes. Replace usages and delete without redirect so we won't end up at a situation like this again. Gonnym (talk) 07:13, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Branch[edit]

Both created in December, a few days a part. As evidenced by the delete results of Stink bomb, OverdoneStinkBomb, and Elephant there is no need for new templates like these. Gonnym (talk) 07:25, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Gibraltar Second Division[edit]

Gibraltar Second Division is a former Division and hence no longer needed Zanoni (talk) 08:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Major non-NATO ally[edit]

Not appropriate topic for a Navbox, as it only concerns each country's relationship to the United States, not with each other, failing WP:NAVBOX. Previous TfD in 2013 had three delete and three merge suggestions, but was closed as no consensus since it was part of a huge mass nomination. I suggest deletion, since it's unclear how linking directly to these countries would be appropriate for Template:Foreign relations of the United States, and their US relation articles are already part of the template. Paul_012 (talk) 10:31, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pinging still-active previous participants Nick-D, Dimadick, Orlady and Chrism. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If the actual effect is listing these countries' US relations twice, then it is simply redundant. Dimadick (talk) 12:07, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As noted it fundamentally a poor topic for a Navbox. A navbox is there to aid navigation. Are readers of the Japan article really going to want to jump to another country article because they're both non-NATO allies of the United States? Also gives a very US-centred view of the world. Why not templates with lists of allies of France or the UK or China, etc. We'd end up with country articles containing countless navboxes of this type. Nigej (talk) 15:48, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Shin Japan Heroes Universe[edit]

Entirely reliant on WP:SYN. Fico Puricelli is jumping the gun. It’s only been recently confirmed that “Shin Japan Heroes Universe” is a collaborative project. It has not been confirmed whether this is an ongoing film series or a shared cinematic universe. The only source I come across that reported neutrally on this project without jumping to conclusions is Crunchyroll (1).

The only thing that has been confirmed is that the project will focus on “merchandise, special events and tie-ins” (2). Thus far, details are scant but will be revealed later this year (3). Therefore, this nav-temp should be deleted until more details emerge as to what this collaborative project is.

Keep in mind, Toho and Kahara launched collaborative projects in the past, such as GODZILLA X EVANGELION (3), a line of merchandise, and GODZILLA VS. EVANGELION (4), a 4-D ride at Universal Studios Japan. For all we know so far, this could be something similar rather than suddenly making these unrelated films (owned by separate studios) cinematically canon. Again, which the announcement did not confirm. Armegon (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Adjacent stations/Transport in Bus Driver[edit]

Bus lines for a video game, which are listed here and are pretty much trivia which should be deleted. Gonnym (talk) 10:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:DPCLEANUP category header[edit]

Now that all sub-categories were deleted, this template is only used on one category. Should be subst there directly and deleted. Gonnym (talk) 11:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (I am the creator). Subst'ed in 1 page as proposed. No further use. Speedy=OK. DePiep (talk) 11:44, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ICC Women's Associate player of the year[edit]

Cricket Navboxes with only one entry. Really no use for navigation. Nigej (talk) 14:06, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:India Squad 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup[edit]

Generally consensus is that these sort of "squad" Navboxes for a particular event should be restricted to those teams that have done particularly well (winner or medalist). Producing these before the event finishes seem to go against that principle. Nigej (talk) 14:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:RSIGN/Europastraßen[edit]

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. No substantive edits since creation in 2014. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Puerto Princesa TV[edit]

No transclusions. This navbox contains no main article and no links to articles about the stations that it lists (all links are redirects). – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:04, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:RecentUpdates[edit]

No transclusions or incoming links. This page just transcludes Special:NewPages and attempts to transclude Special:Log (which does not appear to work). This appears to be an abandoned page from 2010 that has been superseded by better options. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Recent changes window[edit]

No transclusions, documentation, categories, or incoming links. The only substantive content is a transclusion of "Special:Recentchanges/30", which is straightforward enough to do on a given page if someone wants to show that content. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:16, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Redirect more info[edit]

No transclusions. I was unable to find any incoming links to this template in template code, and I found no trace of it in, for example, {{R category with possibilities}}. The documentation links to an apparently incorrect page that does not explain how this template is used; I assume that these project pages have been reorganized, and this template is no longer part of the rcat system. If I am wrong, let me know where this template is used and I will fix the documentation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Reforder[edit]

No transclusions, documentation, or categories. This template was apparently designed to demonstrate a proposal at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources/Archive 41 in 2016, but that proposal was not accepted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:25, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Request list[edit]

No transclusions, documentation, incoming links, or categories. For some reason, the "under construction" tag placed on this article at its creation in 2014 was removed in 2015 instead of the template being sent to TFD. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:28, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sandbox box[edit]

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. No substantive edits since creation in late 2017 and early 2018. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is ok to delete it, it is not used.   ManosHacker talk 19:29, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Snooker season points/2020/2021[edit]

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. Some other template appears to be preferred to this one. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:38, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserves Network[edit]

No transclusions. This is a map of the reserves listed here, and each individual reserve has a nice map, but there is no main article for this region/network of reserves, so there is no place for this template to be used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:42, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WWAcourse banner Round 5[edit]

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. Created in 2017. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Welcomelaws-rand[edit]

These three templates were part of a 2011 experiment. It looks like we missed this set of templates in this November 2021 discussion, which resulted in a mass delete of these templates. I propose deleting this set as well. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:18, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seems these are also part of that group: [list removed by Jonesey95] Gonnym (talk) 17:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Good find. I have nominated them above and remove the duplicate list from Gonnym's comment. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete all per previous TfD. Gonnym (talk) 20:53, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/potential[edit]

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. The parent template does not appear to use this subpage and has no documentation to provide a clue as to how it might be used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Val/sandboxlua[edit]

nominating per creator's note. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:05, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:DLRexits2012[edit]

These templates are no longer used by {{Infobox London station}}, where only the most recent five years of data are shown. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:11, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Versiontracker[edit]

No transclusions. No longer useful, per VersionTracker. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Tubeexits2010[edit]

No transclusions. Removed from the {{Infobox London station}} template in January; the template shows only the most recent five years of data. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Typo (software) version[edit]

No transclusions. The main article for this template, Publify, was deleted, and neither Typo nor Publify are listed on the List of CMS page. Not usable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Welcomeanon2[edit]

These variations of Template:Welcome-anon haven't received updates in years while the main one is consistently being updated and tweaked. We should not keep these forks around and should instead focus updates to a single template. Gonnym (talk) 21:00, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Current CSB COTW[edit]

Inactive collaboration since around 2005. Remove single example usage and delete templates. Gonnym (talk) 21:08, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Crowded House Collab[edit]

Inactive since 2007 as with the others, should be deleted. Gonnym (talk) 21:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hendrick Motorsports Car No. 5 in the NASCAR Cup series[edit]

Used in only one page. Izno (talk) 21:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge back into Hendrick Motorsports. I originally created this template in an effort to reduce the size of the article, but now that it's small enough, I'm not opposed to merging back. Jalen Folf (talk) 21:59, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Saltillocap[edit]

Unused character template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:06, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Although it may be unused currently, it forms a casing pair with {{saltillo}}, which is used. The reason for using these templates rather than simply typing the characters (or using char-insert) is that with some fonts, it may be difficult for editors to distinguish the saltillo from the ASCII apostrophe, and therefore difficult to proofread an article. Also, people who prefer Unicode periodically go through and 'clean up' the articles, replacing the templates with the characters, so whether the template is used may ebb back and forth. — kwami (talk) 23:10, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:College football coach by team category header[edit]

Template:Constituencies in Eastern England 1918-1945[edit]

Template:Meta color[edit]

A remnant of the old meta system. Usages should be replaced with Template:Party color cell without leaving a redirect and with the following updates:

  • |1= unchanged.
  • |2= add "px" as that is what the Template:Meta color has hardcoded. While converting this take care to not add "px" to a width that already has this.

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Europe medical cases[edit]

Table of cases by country. Abandoned in March 2020. Nigej (talk) 16:16, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The numbers of PCR-confirmed infections - a total of 1524 for all of Europe (including UK, Russia) as of 2020.03.06 - seems ridiculously small in hindsight, and in today's context of the order of 10,000 infections or so per day being ordinary in each of the big European countries as of mid February 2022. However, Europe has been one of the hardest hit regions of the world (probably because of the demographic profile with many elderly people), and the early phase of the pandemic remains an important part of comprehensive encyclopedic coverage. I think that an appropriate title change is needed, e.g. to Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/initial phase of Europe medical cases. Balashov, Yuxing & Zhu 2021 used the early phase of the pandemic (per country, around the world) as a detector of which national health agencies are most likely to have fabricated their data, so this official data for the early phase (curated by Wikipedians and Wikipedian methods) remains significant. Boud (talk) 18:32, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It makes absolutely no sense to deliberately keep out-of-date data in order to make some sort of point, and what Boud is suggesting seems too much like original research. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:55, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused Navbox covered by {{Presidents of Ireland}}. Nigej (talk) 08:30, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment what about the Irish Free State? That isn't covered by the suggested replacement, which only covers the Republic of Ireland.

Template:Lang-mis[edit]

This template originally speedy-nominated but apparently something about that broke or disturbed something at WP:CfD; see User talk:Trappist the monk § Help!. So, nominating here. This template is not used. This template is patently wrong. Hiberno-English is not a language that has been coded by the ISO 639-3 custodians. Because of that, using mis (the ISO 639-3 code for uncoded languages) is inappropriate – Hiberno-English is not the only uncoded language that en.wiki recognizes.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 23:38, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rewrite get rid of Hiberno-English and rewrite it for specifiable language, link to ISO 639:m and the missing language table entry as the language link gloss for why this is "mis".
 [[{{{langlink|{{{lang}}}}}}|{{{lang}}}]]<sup>[[ISO 639:m#mis|?]]</sup>: {{{1}}}
so that it works with any missing language, and recategorize to only lang-x templates -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:18, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment it would be useful to standardize the format of missing language presentations, when they are written out in articles for the same functionality as lang-x templates, so rewriting this template to do so would rationalize all the missing language glosses with standard formatting consistent with languages that are coded in ISO 639 for which we have a standard format for. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:21, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When would that be used? When formatting text in a language that doesn't have an ISO code, there's no need to advertise (even in a tiny superscript) that the language hasn't got an ISO code: that's completely irrelevant to any text you'll be writing. If you take away the superscript, then the result is similar to what people would write out manually anyway: instead of writing [[Fooian language|Fooian]]: {{lang|mis|bar}}, they would now write {{lang-mis|lang=Fooian|langlink=Fooian language|bar}}. That's a tad more complicated, but it's got one small advantage: it may allow for some monitoring, so that if an ISO code eventually gets created, it will be easier to track down those uses and replace them accordingly. – Uanfala (talk) 23:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Then we could just drop the question mark, and format it as you wrote, allowing for RTL formatting from {{lang}} etc. Which would allow tracking, and consistent formatting -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 16:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:10,000 receiving yards club[edit]

NFL related Navbox. Replicates content at List of National Football League career receiving yards leaders. The reality is that this list of players are not really "related" (per WP:NAVBOX) and they're not part of some "club". Nigej (talk) 15:45, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep − They relate to a single, coherent subject. There's also precedent in that Template:10,000 rushing yards club has been around since 2008 and Template:100 sacks club since 2010. These are all significant milestone markers in the NFL that play a big part in discussions around players' careers. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:24, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Is it though? List of National Football League career receiving yards leaders does not make that claim anywhere in that list. What did you base the 10k cut off? Gonnym (talk) 07:32, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I base the 10,000 cutoff off not choosing an arbitrary milestone, such as 9,000 or 11,000 yards. What kind of cut off would you use? Like I said though, 10,000 is a significant milestone which is often talked about, the most recent example being "A.J. Green joined the 10,000-yard club on Monday night". Only 5 active players (could be 3 active next year if DeSean Jackson retires and Antonio Brown isn't able to play) have reached this significant milestone. It's not one that just anybody reaches. That article itself needs some work, specifically the lead, but that article states its focus is the top 50 wide receivers whereas my template is receivers over 10,000 yards.

Template:Laser Types[edit]

This is only directly used in a half dozen navboxes, which really don't need a specific template to contain a half dozen links. Subst and delete is the recommendation here. Izno (talk) 19:42, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. Izno (talk) 08:10, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is used in various laser navbox templates, such as Template:Gas lasers. Blindly deleting without subst is not an option. I reverted the ill-advised change in formatting, which affected all the pages on which it is included. I think this proposal needs more thought, and perhaps a review of all the laser templates. I'm no fan of navboxes, but using a template to keep common text the same across a set of navboxes is a sensible use of the template feature. --Srleffler (talk) 03:36, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I know that it is used in various laser navbox templates, I firmly oppose that design which is why I said "Delete without subst". Template:Lasers is the correct place for those links. Gonnym (talk) 07:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nigej: Like {{xt}}? Not allowed in project space. Also there are even limited exceptions to the MOS rule. When you are directly quoting, for example, or you're quoting a text in Russian, which uses this symbol regularly, it is even on their keyboard.

    Gonnym I believe that it is in the first sentence of the Manual of Style; This Manual of Style (MoS or MOS) is the style manual for all English Wikipedia articles (though provisions related to accessibility apply across the entire project, not just to articles).

After all, WP:MOS is clear that besides accessibility issues, it only applies to articles, and {{&numero}} doesn't violate MOS:ACCESS.

Be that as it may. Use of the pattern http://yba.llgc.org.uk/ in the tool, and a bit of research, is illuminating. It seems that Wiki Medic 2.5, in 2019, and in article space, probably converted http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/ URLs into biography.wales URLs, avoiding a redirection. http://yba.llgc.org.uk/cy/ URLs still exist in article space. Those presumably should be changed, to the English-language versions. The importance of templating these references includes being able to change the formatter URL in one place.

  • Question Unused now, but aren't these the sort of templates that are useful to have available the first time somebody needs one of them? Perhaps there have even been previous occasions when somebody would have used them if someone had created them, and has resorted instead to manually writing out the text being provided here in an automated fashion.

Templates should be used at some point after creation because otherwise, it's taking up unnecessary space. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I take issue with your characterization of them as "unnecessary". They will be necessary the day someone first needs one of them. But unless that person knows how to create a template, that person will be out of luck, which is why it's necessary to have them in advance of first use. To hold otherwise is like saying car insurance is an unnecessary expense until after your first accident. Largoplazo (talk) 03:14, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Templates are created to be used. And no they don't become necessary until someone finds a use for them. They are necessary because there is a need for such a template to be created in the first place. At the moment they are not and are taking up unnecessary space. You can argue about their usefulness all you want. But they are right now, not. Unless you can find a place to find them to be used then that's fine. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 03:20, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to assume you drive around without a spare tire on the grounds that the spare won't be necessary until you get a flat. I don't understand your conception of the meaning of the word "necessary"; it seems to be divorced from practical considerations. Largoplazo (talk) 15:57, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've already made my argument and if you're not going to recommend some practical use for them, then don't bother dragging this out. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In case it isn't clear, when somebody responds to an argument you've made in an open discussion, it isn't just to show you what's wrong with your argument, it's to point it out to other participants. Now I'll point out that you're saying I haven't given a practical use for them when I've pointed out quite clearly what the practical use for them is. Arguing that there isn't one after it's been pointed out to you is like arguing that there's no practical use for a spare tire, even after it's been pointed out to you. Now, you don't have to respond, obviously, but this is out there for everyone else's benefit. Largoplazo (talk) 23:51, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It has been discussed that we should migrate these IPA-xx templates to {{IPA}} much like {{lang}}, but that obviously involves coordinated effort of design, consensus building, and bot operation. So until that happens, I see little motivation or need for deleting these given the whole point of Category:Future IPA templates is to have templates made for various languages so editors can use them when they need them. Nardog (talk) 04:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep no benefit to deletion here. These have a clear future use and keeping them around comes at no cost. Elli (talk | contribs) 04:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment In all fairness, these were the only IPA's under the future category that are unused. A discussion about migrating them at the respective space would be useful if anyone wants to start it to avoid another Tfd depending on how long one takes after this one is closed. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Db-wrongnamespace[edit]

Unused and largely duplicates Template:Db-error. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:27, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it's not a duplicate, it's meant to be a more specific template. Also I forgot to tag it with {{transclusionless}}, but it should be apparent why CSD templates won't always be in use. Elli (talk | contribs) 04:02, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Db-error already cover pages created in error in the wrong space. I'm aware of it's transclusionless intention, but what's different from "because it is a page that was created in the wrong namespace." and "because it is a page that was obviously created in error."? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:01, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Db-error has no documentation, so there is no clear list of usages it can be used on. Anpang01 (talk) 06:34, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused source banner template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 03:20, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a recent template not intended for direct use on an article page, but rather indirectly via transclusion by other templates such as {{unsourced}} and others, in the same way that {{find sources mainspace}} is currently invoked by such templates. {{Find medical sources mainspace}} was created as part of the upgrade of the Module:Find sources suite of templates, which includes {{Find general sources}}, {{Find video game sources}}, {{Find medical sources}}, and {{Find biographical sources}}. All of these are talk-page only templates (or rather, any space except mainspace). Each of these has (or will have) a simplified sister template that is designed for indirect use from article pages, such as the original one: {{find sources mainspace}} after which this one was patterned. You can see the "mainspace" version in use at the top of Agricultural science, where it is invoked by the code of {{more citations needed}}. Ultimately, {{Find sources mainspace}} will become a wrapper, following the pattern of template {{Find sources}}, and then the wrapper will choose the {{Find medical sources mainspace}} template automatically for those articles that meet the conditions. However, this hasn't been done yet. The template was created first, and the wrapper work hasn't commenced. So the question is, where can this template be placed until it can be connected? Draft space would be iffy, as it might get deleted in six months; can I just move it to the sandbox instead, and let it sit there until I or someone is ready to work on it? Would it be best to leave the Template space filename a red link, or let it redirect to the sandbox? Adding Wikmoz, who is familiar with this situation and may wish to lurk, or comment. Mathglot (talk) 08:45, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mathglot, be bold and move it to the sandbox because as you state it's not yet ready for use, and the work related to this template hasn't been done yet. So go for it. I don't think you need to wait a week, but I'm open to hearing from Wikmoz on this if you want to wait. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:05, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiCleanerMan:, Okay, I'll move it. For the purposes of not annoying the bot that discovers unused templates, which is better: to create a redirect during the move, or no redirect? Mathglot (talk) 18:57, 2 March 2022 (UTC) (P.S.: I used the "Reply" feature of the new discussion tools about to be released March 7 and currently in Beta, and it neither indented properly nor automatically used {{Reply}}.) Mathglot (talk) 18:59, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mathglot, doesn't really matter, a move is still a move. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:36, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ameen Akbar, you're navbox might be overkill if it includes over 800 articles that have the title starting with "List of Countries by..." I think it's best to leave those articles with the navboxes they are already included on. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WPTANKS Archive[edit]

  • Comment: Unshaded version of {{Shading PVI}}. I don't know if it would ever be used as most (all?) PVI ratings on Wikipedia and elsewhere are shaded by party colors.

    Ok, I now remember why I created it. Basically for the case, where more html styling options, for example, border color, etc. are applied. Because {{Shading PVI}} already uses styling for party color shading. But again, it remains unused. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 17:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:List of attractions in Tehran[edit]

No transclusions. No main article for this navbox. Articles listed in this navbox generally use more relevant navboxes that fit the navbox criteria better. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:17, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The parent article has just been deleted. Personally I'd that a "List of tourist attractions in Tehran Province" was too disparate a grouping, better covered by categories rather than a Navbox. "Tourist attractions" can pretty much cover anything, so I'd say was generally a poor topic for a Navbox. Nigej (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MH[edit]

No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links from discussions. Content is a simple link. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:18, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Mahatma Gandhi sidebar[edit]

Only major edit has been the creation. Seems to be a work in progress, although a navbox Template:Mahatma Gandhi, already exists and contains hundreds of links.

Template:Dawoodi Bohra Dais with noted Duats[edit]

No transclusions, no documentation. Appears to be an abandoned creation from 2020. Because this tree template is so broken, it is unclear if all of these people are even connected, let alone where and how this template would be useful. OK to userfy if the creator wants to keep working on it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Please inspect more into the template if you're commenting, it is subtemplated for each bar. It's just that the single-bar template has so many parameters, so this is already the least code repetition possible. Anpang01 (talk) 03:26, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Tetrapod osteology[edit]

Not used and contains mostly unrelated links to the subject of bones in Tetrapod animals. Mostly these are just articles about human bones. Few are related to Tetrapods only. If still a work in progress can be userfyed if requested. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article creator here—it's a work in progress that I haven't gotten around to working on recently. It's probably complete enough to add to articles as is.

Template:Righeira albums[edit]

Apart from the fact this navbox currently only contains two items and therefore fails WP:NENAN, it's simply not needed – there is already a {{Righeira}} navbox which includes all the group's other recordings for navigation purposes, and the albums can be included there. We had exactly the same issue with this same editor last year – see the five listings at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 August 6, and the editor simply seems unable or unwilling to understand that you don't need separate navboxes for studio albums, for singles, for compilations, etc. Richard3120 (talk) 20:20, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Changing my vote to keep per Don's vote below. Upon his restoration of the map to the mainspace, it provides informational value. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I restored the map to the Legality of polygamy article, where it saves the article. The rest of the article is horribly incomprehensible flag-junk; it is truly an awful article if the map is not there; recent deletion of the map from the article was inappropriate and I have restored it. The map provides means of understanding something in the world. It is sourced by the rest of the article which identifies legal status in each country and U.S. state, although perhaps the article has not much changed since 2011 and some tag at the top of the article could be appropriate. The map apparently should be presented with a label saying it was valid as of 2011 or 2015 or whenever all the information in the article was valid, or with a footnote saying the status for Myanmar has changed legally in 2015 to a different color for that nation. Deleting the map there is inappropriate. Trying to lock in a "win" for incomprehension by having a TFD to permanently eliminate the map is not the way to advance the article. Please do see and comment at discussion at Talk page of article, at Talk:Legality_of_polygamy#Source_and_Accuracy_of_Map. Offhand I think this TFD should be closed due to that ongoing discussion and ongoing process of improving that article. --Doncram (talk) 08:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC) 22:45, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Polyhedra bowers name and image[edit]

Unused Category:Polyhedron templates. Nigej (talk) 10:10, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:SSL[edit]

Unnecessary template that clutters up external links section of articles, and doesn't seem to link correctly to their profile on that website. No reason why we'd need this on sailing articles, which have their World Sailing profiles with the non-cluttered template Template:World Sailing (either directly, or via Wikidata sports links) Joseph2302 (talk) 12:30, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: The function of this template is to show the Highest ranking in the worldwide Star Sailors League ranking list and the ranking per date of a specific sailor. In the World Sailing Template one can enter the WS identity number of a specific sailor. No ranking info! Therefor the SSL template gives additional information. You write that the template shows incorrect info. This is not true please check e.g. Bart Lambriex. The available links are to the Star Sailors League wikipage and to the SSL ranking website. Not to the exact page of the specific sailor. SSL ranking can be compared to the ATP Rankings. I agree that some improvements can be made to the template. Like less cluttering and maybe a direct link to the current SSL ranking database. The last mentioned improvement is however out of my programming skills league. But maybe someone can help out here.Dragon Genoa (talk) 12:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • No evidence that the Star Sailors League is important to justify this. And it didn't work on Eilidh McIntyre‎ where you added it, because she doesn't look to me listed anywhere on that website. And the fact that it's cumbersome and clutters up the bottom of the page is a reason to delete it- Template:World Sailing is a much better, and less obtrusive, external link. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:21, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well the template didn't link to that profile anyway, so my point stands. And those profile have very little useful information (just the rank at this one tournament), which is way less useful than the World Sailing Profile (which lists most of their tournament performances). Joseph2302 (talk) 14:00, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is what I explained earlier. The link goes to the wikipage an the other to the SSL webside. Just like the World Sailing template does not link to the actual info of the sailor. Also it does NOT relate to just one tournement. The SSL ranking is a continuous ranking off ALL sailors Worldwide over ALL regattas.Dragon Genoa (talk) 14:14, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Clearly one issue is the way it looks. I think it needs to decide what it is. At the moment it's just as funny box hidden away in the "External links" section with an unnecessary icon and microscopically small text. Personally it looks to me as if its the sort of information that would normally go in the Infobox (although there could be a link too in the External links section). I'd have thought a few extra parameters in {{Infobox sailor}} would do the job. This whole Star Sailors League area is starting to look quite promotional and being in the infobox would perhaps be more suitable that an obtrusive box. Nigej (talk) 13:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't at all claim to be an expert. Depends to a certain extent what sort of system you're thinking of. Are you thinking of having a centralised database (or even extracting the data automatically) or whether you're happy editing all the articles individually each week. {{Infobox tennis biography}} shows how to go about the manual process (they have parameters highestsinglesranking and currentsinglesranking). I know Tennis are thinking about trying to automate this area, although I don't think they've made much progress, see WT:TENNIS#Rankings, which notes a system they use for Darts. See also {{Infobox snooker player/rankings}} for a relatively simple system, where a centralised system is used to store the current snooker rankings, using a cut-and-paste-and-a-bit-of-clever-editing approach. Nigej (talk) 14:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To start with I would be happy to have just 4 "| SSL ranking date = ", "| SSL ranking role = ", "| SSL ranking = " and "SSL highest ranking = " parameters in Template:Infobox sailor. Then I can ask the guys from SSL to come up with an auto update mechanism.Dragon Genoa (talk) 15:04, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Or I can use the current Template:SSL as in coded User:Dragon Genoa/sandbox to make it a integrate it in Template:Infobox sailor. What do both of you think of this idea?Dragon Genoa (talk) 15:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I'm still not keen. Text size is still too small for instance (small text is not allowed in infoboxes, MOS:SMALLFONT) Nigej (talk) 15:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Library color[edit]

Unused other than in an old user's sandbox. Subst there and delete. Gonnym (talk) 15:43, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I created the "library color" template back in 2017, when I was hoping/planning to coordinate with User:Smallbones and others in WikiProject Libraries to make list-articles about libraries. Individual libraries are often individually Wikipedia-notable and can certainly be included as items in regional list-articles. Like can be done for the elementary schools within a school district. The page User:Smallbones/Cape May Lib has a draft libraries list-article using the template. The template provides for a single color to be used in coordinated list-articles, where the color itself can be changed centrally if the editors working on the project want to change it. As is done in WikiProject NRHP list-articles about the 90,000 plus places listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, which use template:NRHP color and other templates in Category:Historic site color templates. Smallbones, can you perhaps comment, please? --Doncram (talk) 16:23, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If there is a decision here to remove the template from template-space, could it please be moved to my personal User space, i.e. to User:Doncram/Library color. Or if there is some problem with that, could the closer please notify me so that I could take a copy. I don't often participate or "watchlist" template discussions, so please ping me to get my attention. --Doncram (talk) 16:23, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userify Holding short from boldly closing this myself, for now. Per WP:UPGOOD, user pages can be used for "Work in progress or material that you may come back to in future".

Template:MDAX companies[edit]

Arbitrary grouping ("selected" based on which criteria?); and most companies, besides the obvious of being listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (and, presumably, being German), don't have much of any relation, so this fails the purpose of navboxes, which is to link related topics together, not topics whose most significant relation is some random geographical proximity. For example, GEA Group and Rheinmetall, whose sole common aspect seems to be, indeed, the geographical location... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:09, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Party shading/Documentation template[edit]

No transclusions, except in itself and its subpages. The parent page is a disambiguation page, so this one is not usable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:14, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:36, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the disambiguation page is merely a list page, the subtemplates of that page are the functional templates (Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Party_shading/). The documentation page is for the subtemplates, and not the base page. So it usable if it is placed on each of the subtemplate pages as the documentation link. (currently they seem to have old style unboxed noinclude sections that predate documentation pages) The documentation page takes a parameter "1" which should be color indicated on the the subtemplate. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:46, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Birth name[edit]

Was being used on two articles, Bill Clinton and John E. Arnold. For the former, it created an unnecessary notes section which was redundant given the fact that Clinton's name change is mentioned in the first article section about his early life. For Arnold, just the reference is enough. Really unnecessary to have a template just to make note of a person's name. The same could be said if this was used on articles about women who changed their last names after getting married. Would be pointless considering how many women do change their name after getting married and such transclusions would be overkill. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:14, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This would be the same case for {{'s}} which is used after italics. Once could argue that the characters 's can just be set directly and thus removing the transclusions. Do you have any rough statistics as to how many articles use "ne" directly [and could also be a transclusion? (I'm not suggesting we transclude, but wondering about the numbers.)] — DaxServer (t · c) 21:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ExodusStation[edit]

Until a few weeks ago, there was an article on every Exodus station mentioned in the Bible, and this template was designed to navigate between them, in the same manner as the railway station templates.

  • Keep. I've added it to several relevant articles. Also, I created this just last summer; why not ask whether it's still being worked on rather than going straight to TfD? – Joe (talk) 06:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If you create a template you need to use it within 10 minutes, not 10 months. Development should be done in your own sandbox area. Nigej (talk) 07:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Please point me to the policy you've taken that rule from. Because WP:TFD#REASONS gives (emphasis original): The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used. – Joe (talk) 08:05, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:TG says "Templates that violate the guidelines on this page, have poorly defined function, are redundant, become orphaned or used on only one page, or violate any Wikipedia policies may be nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion." See also the section there "Sandbox for experiments": "If you wish to experiment with templates (and not have your experiments deleted before you are done with them), you may do so in the Template sandbox.". Also worth noting that there's no "ownership" in Template space. Nigej (talk) 10:34, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    In other words, you pulled "templates must be transcluded within 10 minutes" out of your arse? None of those statements apply to this template, nor did you advance an argument that they did. Please try to come up with an actual reason before you nominate other peoples' work for deletion—from any namespace—in future. No ownership means you don't own the namespace either. – Joe (talk) 16:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please assume good faith. The template was created last year and should have been used from that point on. And Nigej saw the template was in fact unused when he nominated it and his nomination of the template being unused at first is a reason to nominate for deletion. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not "other people's work". You seem to think you own this template. Anyway it seems pretty odd to me that you create a template, don't use it, do nothing with it for 10 months and then complain when someone wonders what's going on: Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.

No transclusions. The parent page is a redirect, and the redirect target uses automatic documentation generated by the template, so there is no possible use for this page or its content. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:43, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Middle Ages Europe[edit]

Unused and duplicates Template:Middle Ages. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:50, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. this template is totally different from template:Middle Ages, as it uses a creative and useful alternate approach; namely, by grouping articles by separate topics, rather than simply by chronological phases without any topical groupings. --Sm8900 (talk) 02:42, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We don't need two templates for the same exact subject. Add the missing links to the standard ones if they are missing and wanted. Gonnym (talk) 15:12, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Having two navboxes on the same topic is likely to confuse readers, not help them navigate. I can't see we'd want both in any article and if the intension is put one on some pages and the other on some, then that's just going to confuse readers too.

Template:Ranks and Insignia of Non NATO Navies/OF/Kingdon of Hawai'i[edit]

Template:B class destroyer

[edit]

Unused navbox which has been subsumed into {{A class destroyer}}, which now covers A and B. Nigej (talk) 19:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Jews and Judaism category tree

[edit]

Used on over a thousand talk pages, mostly category talk pages, this is being used on the wrong spaces and takes up a majority of the space on the pages it's used on. There is no useful navigation this template provides and is very intrusive. Ironically enough, it's transcluded on its own template talk page which makes it pointless. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's better to navigate through category space. You're gonna have to provide evidence that this has been useful aside from the fact that you created it. And you're the only one who has been adding this template to the various category talk pages. What is there to improve? Let the categories be there without a need for a template. And you're invoking of Not Paper isn't relevant as this template does take up unnecessary space on the talk pages. It's very obtrusive. You call it a navigational template and yet it's not per Wikipedia:Navigation template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiCleanerMan: That I created the navigational template is not some kind of "crime" since I am trying to help users who are not familair with this vast subjecty matter. You are the first one to complain in the more than eleven years since I created it [2]. Let me ask you a question, did you just happen to bump into this category tree and decided you hate it, or have you really been trying to get into the complicated categories of Category:Jews & Category: Judaism & Category:Jewish history that have so many overlapping and confusing sub and sub, sub categories that makes navigating them very confusing? Seems to me you are just doing a hatchet job based on WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT which is no excuse at all to start this deletion discussion. And yes, WP:NOTPAPER does apply. Kindly withdraw your nomination please! Thanks, IZAK (talk) 18:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on the template. Keep your PA's to yourself. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. and reformat. It would be trivial to condense the space that it occupies, and its not necessary to use color. DGG ( talk ) 01:44, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless a new style is actually helpful. The current setup offers really no assistance in any way. It just lists the parent categories, which a user can see by clicking on the parent categories. I truly doubt that anything here can be useful as we don't use this can of "help" system for any other subject, and I doubt this specific topic is the most complicated subject to exist. Gonnym (talk) 15:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
