Template:Seconda Categoria

Template:Seconda Categoria (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template was only transcluded in Seconda Categoria; it was likely originally meant to link pages of all the regional tournaments in this league (which do not have Wikipedia pages), but it only links to the names of the regions. Not useful. Broc (talk) 13:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no real place this would be used, even as an example. Gonnym (talk) 09:42, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User18

Template:User18 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions or incoming links. Created in 2021. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No user template has similar or more expansive contents than this one. In particular, it is the only one that links to Special:AbuseLog and Special:Log/block. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just fixed the broken unnamed parameter. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:48, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Also, because it's one of the only ones able to easily cross-link a user from a Wikimedia sister project (the other is {{Userxx}}). It was created to support linking users involved in cross-wiki issues, which admittedly don't come up that often, but it a big time-saver when it does. It looks like I must have forgotten about it when the time came to use it, so ironically, this Tfd has reminded me. There are not a ton of users who are interested in or know how to deal with cross-wiki issues, so it would be helpful to keep this around for that purpose. Maybe it needs a rename, to highlight the cross-wiki nature of it, and if someone could suggest a good name for it, I'd support that. (as creator) Mathglot (talk) 02:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Evidently nobody cares about whatever virtues are being extolled here because this has remained unused for years. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Usbk/light

Template:Usbk/light (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions or incoming links from discussions. Created in 2016. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:38, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:52, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'll try to dig a bit more. I believe this template was created to allow pages to contain very large numbers of userboxes without falling over. It may on the other hand have been to deal with slightly tendentious categories. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 16:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC).[reply]
- Confirmed someone who didn't get it had removed the uses of the template. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 22:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Template:Cat

Template:Cat (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Category link (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Cat with Template:Category link.
{{Cat}} has the option for a "category:" prefix (i.e. {{cat|stubs}} and {{cat|Category:stubs}} have the same output: ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Stubs), but otherwise this template just has fewer features than {{Category link}}. {{Category link}} does not accept the category prefix ({{Category link|Category:Stubs}} becomes ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Category:Stubs), but does allow for various options. They should be combined. House Blaster (talk · he/they) 00:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Template:Category link to Template:Cat as an inferior duplicate. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 02:01, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose I could've made it more clear in my nomination, but {{Category link}} has numerous options which {{Cat}} lacks, such as |count=, |count_type=, and the ability to "pipe" links ({{category link|X1|X2}} becomes ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› X2) (you can read more on at Template:Category link/doc). House Blaster (talk · he/they) 02:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as both do the same thing. Gonnym (talk) 09:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
