Single-use templates, can be easily merged into the main article. actually all templates in this category. Mohsen1248 (talk) 19:00, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Delete (1) single use and can be integrated into main articles; (2) we are NOT a repository and WP isn't the right place to store all of this. --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:46, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Delete all. These are single use templates that will only ever be used in the parent article. The navbox Template:2018 Asian Games squash convenience template navbox should also be deleted too. Ajf773 (talk) 22:14, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Ben5218 (talk) 23:01, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

• Delete lack of significance or frequent use. Shashank5988 (talk) 10:16, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Template:Medical citation needed section

• Template:Medical citation needed section (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Steel1943 (talk) 15:02, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Delete am a supporter of a medical citation needed template for references, but I think this is a bit excessive and obtruse, and clearly other editors feel that way as it's unused. --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:46, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Delete Don't need a specific template for asking medical citation. Shashank5988 (talk) 10:31, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
• Delete. Per Shashank5988. --Bsherr (talk) 05:20, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
• Delete. Just use {{Medical citations needed}} with the |section parameter; we don't need a separate template just for a section. Nyttend (talk) 02:45, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Template:Lists of monuments and memorials in Russia by federal subject (categories)

• Template:Lists of monuments and memorials in Russia by federal subject (categories) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

delete, the template just contains redlinks, moreover it does not contain any monuments and memorials as the name seems to suggest. Moreover a template is not a list. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:06, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Keep. Hello everyone and happy New Year! This template was created to simplify the management of the specified categories. As you can see the "Lists of monuments and memorials in Russia" topic isn’t developed for enwiki so far. You can delete this template now, but its keeping will help for the further development of the topic. Thank you. Leonid Dobrov (talk) 07:17, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Userify this recently created template serves a useful purpose for Leonid, so it might be useful for him to move it back to user space. In mainspace it seems to just duplicate categories and IMO should be deleted. --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:46, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Question. I found that this method of navigation is quite popular on Wikimedia Commons (an example). So why wouldn't we consider the method as a good practice for enwiki? Leonid Dobrov (talk) 15:17, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems useful for navigating among categories that contain lists. Why get confused by the template name? It's just intended to link Category:Lists of monuments and memorials in Moscow, Category:Lists of monuments and memorials in Samara Oblast, and several dozen that haven't yet been created. It works the same as the template atop {{Cities in Pennsylvania}}, whose code is:

  United States topic|prefix=:Category:Cities in|navbar=plain|exclude-wdc=y|exclude-ter=y|exclude-isl=y|state=expanded}}

  The only reason to delete this template, as I see it, is if the existing categories deleted on "we shouldn't have this" grounds; then we can G8 this template because it's totally dependent on deleted pages.

Template:Mister Philippines winners in the Male pageants

• Template:Mister Philippines winners in the Male pageants (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Just one link. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:55, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• Delete per nom --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:08, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Only one link. Rzvas (talk) 17:13, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
• Delete. Not enough links for a navbox. Ajf773 (talk) 19:03, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
• Keep not sure about navboxes in general but this has several links, including two winners, and no red links. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 14:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC).
  
• Delete not needed, per nom --DannyS712 (talk) 00:25, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Template:London bus corridor 36

• Template:London bus corridor 36 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only one of the three bus routes has an article and is the only transclusion of this template, the corridor itself is unlikely to be notable for its own article either. Ajf773 (talk) 00:53, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Delete I learn something new on WP every day! Template should be deleted - used once, and I don't think it should be used outside its parent article either. --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:54, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Template:Mli

• Template:Mli (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Mlix (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Module link (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Mlx (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Mli, Template:Mlix, Template:Module link and Template:Mlx.
{{mlx}} and {{mlix}} have the same function, {{module link}}/{{ml}} and {{mlx}} should also have the same function ({{module link}} shouldn't have the code tags it currently has, as {{mlx}} is meant for that). We should keep the documentations pages of {{mlix}} and {{mli}} as they are more complete but we should keep {{module link}}/{{ml}} and {{mlx}} as the names are shorter and follow similar naming to the {{tl}} family of templates. I'm also proposing that {{mlx}} should be replaced with {{#invoke:Module link|link}} and {{module link}} should be replaced with {{#invoke:Module link|link|code=yes}} to take advantage of Module:Module link. The module provides several advantages including allowing for an unlimited number to parameters and removing Module: and module: from the input. – BrandonXLF ^(t@lk) 20:02, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

• Support merge but oppose module as module creep: Removing double namespace prefixes seems to me to be out of scope for this template (and besides, {{tl}} doesn't do it), and likewise a module isn't warranted for just unlimited parameters (that should use my recent enhancement to Module:For nowiki or Module:Separated entries). {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Either way is fine with me but I prefer the module. I created a version that doesn't use the module at User:BrandonXLF/sandbox/3. For {{mlx}} We can just add <code>...</code>. – BrandonXLF ^(t@lk) 04:54, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
