Barely used. Text should just be subst directly into the article. No reason to store this data in a template. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Template:NSFW (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Wikipedia is not WP:CENSORED. DannyS712 (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Comment someone recently usurped the purpose of this template. I'm going to restore the redirect so inbound links make sense. But now there is no history. I'm confused. Legacypac (talk) 21:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Legacypac: It was deleted per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 14#Template:NSFW, so I have tagged it for CSD as WP:G4 (and as WP:T2) - sorry for the confusion --DannyS712 (talk) 21:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

With Template:Dts converted to use Module:Dts, these templates are no longer used or needed. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete If a template has this many subtemplates, it's clear that it should use Lua ... and this one does, so they're unused. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 20:46, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
One article. Not everything needs a navbox cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 19:42, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

- @Zackmann08: - agree with complete replacement. 89.14.255.155 (talk) 22:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Module:Format TemplateData dependencies
- Module:Multilingual (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Module:Text (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Previous TfDs for this template: |
Imported as dependencies of Module:Format TemplateData (then called Module:TemplateData), which has been rewritten by me to no longer need them, so these modules are now unnecessary. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:02, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- See Module talk:Format TemplateData. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:18, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- @PerfektesChaos: (this was an import request from dewiki). — xaosflux Talk 16:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Strange that they weren't pinged in the previous nomination but are now. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:26, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- @PerfektesChaos: (this was an import request from dewiki). — xaosflux Talk 16:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Please note that de:Module:TemplateData does many, many, many things more which you definitely don't have rewritten.
- See doc for the full picture, which has been rewritten here only with a very poor and small piece of available functionality.
- Wrt “Multilingual” issues please see Test case or an internationalized global template on Bihari Wikpedia with Italian description, or Dutch, depending on current user language, or the similar thing in German Wikipedia but with English description.
- Naturally I am opposing, since that is cutting down internationalized templates.
- Note that you are using an 2017 fork of de:Module:TemplateData which lacks a lot of recent features, while the “rewritten” things are left at 2017 functionality and do not support newer developments.
Best, --PerfektesChaos (talk) 21:13, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Module:WLink (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This module has two seperate usecases.
- The use of the ansiPercent function to encode URLs. This should be moved to Module:String as it is a string-formatting function, not one having to do with wikilinks
- The use of the rest module as a former dependency of Module:Format TemplateData (originally called Module:TemplateData): see #Module:Format TemplateData dependencies above
{{3x|p}}ery (talk) 15:54, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- See one above.
- The Module:Format TemplateData used here is of 2017 and lacks a lot of recent functionality.
- As soon as upgraded to a current version (e.g. to show intermediate headlines on a very long parameter list, which is scrollable as well, navigating to headlines from TOC), all these dependencies will be required again.
- You won't be able to rewrite each new release of Module:TemplateData and insert other function calls again and again.
- Therefore, opposing as in 2018.
- Regards --PerfektesChaos (talk) 21:34, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Template:Infobox South African town
Delete after replace in articles with {{Infobox settlement}}. The only dedicated town infobox for mainland Africa, all other towns use Infobox settlement directly. Created 2012, one editor. If that editor leaves, probably no one will maintain it. 77.11.90.163 (talk) 15:24, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and redirect - we should be leaving it as a redirect in order to preserve previous diffs where the infobox is used. WP:INFOCOL clearly lists the process as merging and redirecting and this makes sense, as we don't want page histories to suddenly have unreadable infoboxes. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:50, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Template:Infobox Hungarian settlement
Delete after replace in articles with {{Infobox settlement}}. Created 2009, creator indef blocked. 77.11.90.163 (talk) 15:17, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and redirect - we should be leaving it as a redirect in order to preserve previous diffs where the infobox is used.

- Template:KBS Programs (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:MBC Programs (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:JTBC (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Moreover, this is hardly being updated and some TV series have finished airing months ago. ~~ CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 10:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I do not see the reason to delete even if it is seldom updated and update it when any contributors think it is outdated. Fiipchip (talk) 11:43, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Per WP:NOTTVGUIDE and WP:NENAN. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Template:Infobox Russian governorate
Delete after replace in articles with {{Infobox settlement}}. Created 2007, creator vanished. Only 39 articles use it, of these only 10 are governorates: Kazan Governorate, Baku Governorate, Elisabethpol Governorate, Erivan Governorate, Black Sea Governorate, Mogilev Governorate, Tiflis Governorate, Tambov Governorate, Kutais Governorate, Georgia-Imeretia Governorate. 78.54.212.31 (talk) 05:09, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and delete per nom. Regardless of title of the "settlement" template, which is not logically intuitive, it's better to have all these types of template replaced by a single more easily edited central one. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and delete - per nom and Tom. Also, seeing as how this is mostly used for non-governorates, this is another justification for why a centralized template is much better for maintaining usage. --Gonnym (talk) 12:12, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and redirect - we should be leaving it as a redirect in order to preserve previous diffs where the infobox is used. WP:INFOCOL clearly lists the process as merging and redirecting and this makes sense, as we don't want page histories to suddenly have unreadable infoboxes. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:38, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Template:Infobox Finnish former municipality
Replace and delete. Use transcluded Infobox settlement directly. 77.11.159.48 (talk) 04:16, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and delete per nom. Regardless of title of the "settlement" template, which is not logically intuitive, it's better to have all these types of template replaced by a single more easily edited central one. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and delete - seeing how {{Infobox Finnish municipality}} was TfD and resulted in replacement with {{Infobox settlement}} (see discussion), this should follow as well for the same reasoning. --Gonnym (talk) 12:14, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Replace and redirect - we should be leaving it as a redirect in order to preserve previous diffs where the infobox is used.

Unused time templates. no need to keep them around. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:14, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete these are unused, not linked, mostly of horrible readability, and not cited. Some are also just images. Timelines should be in mainspace and properly cited. I have notified WP:MILHIST in case there are some editors who want to retain some of these templates. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:46, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep {{Timeline of Long March rocket families}} (and potentially others). Why is File:Long March Timeline.png (which isn't even annotated) favoured instead?
- I'm not seeing any rationale for deletion here. So what if they're unused? Use them! A rationale of 'not usable' or 'shouldn't be used' would be reason to delete, but not this.
- Also, if an implementation is of poor quality but the notion of having a templated timeline is still valid, then we should work to improve what we have, not just discard it.
- Likewise readability. That seems to come from some sizing or fuzzy font choices deep within the implementation of

– that's not something which is fixed by deleting these. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete the following (all unused): {{Timeline US Open Men's Singles Winners}} - List of US Open men's singles champions is a FA, I'm sure that if they wanted it, it would have been used. {{Timeline of Achaemenid}} - pointless template. {{Timeline of Conquests of the Ottoman Empire}} - not in English. {{Timeline of Growth of the Ottoman Empire}} very confusing template. {{Timeline of Intifadas}} - not a template. {{Timeline of Islamic military history}} - plain text that should be in article. {{Timeline of Islamist militancy}} - plain text that should be in article. {{Timeline of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk}} - hard to read and also pointless ("childhood", really?). {{Timeline of NWT Premiers}} - hard to read and better presented in a table. {{Timeline of Plutarch's life}} - pointless template. {{Timeline of Poetry of the Ottoman Empire}} - unreadable. {{Timeline of Rise of the Ottoman Empire}} - barely readable. {{Timeline of Russo-Turkish Wars}} - unreadable. {{Timeline of Sri Lankan kingdoms}} - not needed. {{Timeline of Stagnation of the Ottoman Empire}} - gives absolutely no clear information. {{Timeline of Xinhai Revolution}} - impossible to read. {{Timeline of ancient philosophers}} - has no clear scope, but if this is meant to be for Greek philosophers, then List of ancient Greek philosophers does a better job; if it was meant to be for List of ancient philosophers, then that page does not exist; if it was meant to be for List of philosophers born in the centuries BC, then it's missing many entries (which if added, will make it unreadable). {{Timeline of classical composers of Kosovo}} - they are all around the same 50 years, this really has no use. {{Timeline of de facto control of the Falkland Islands}} - huge template for very little information and will probably be unreadable if made smaller so it can fit an article. {{Timeline of decline of the Ottoman Empire}} - similar to other Ottoman templates. {{Timeline of the Mexican Revolution}} - prose based timeline - hard to read and better presented as actual prose with references (WP:V). {{Timeline of the Roman Kingdom}} - replaced by other templates and tables at Roman Kingdom. {{Timeline of the Roman Republic}} - very confusing template. {{Timeline of the history of the Republic of Turkey}} - almost impossible to read. Neutral/leaning delete - {{Timeline of Japanese era names}} - linked from an article and not used on actual page, but also seemingly very pointless. {{Timeline of Long March rocket families}} - now used, but looks visually very bad. {{Timeline of the Turkish War of Independence}} - could be used, but just looks bad. Keep (for now) - {{Timeline Bar}}, {{Timeline Bars}} and {{Timeline Notes}} as the documentation says to subst. Haven't researched that anymore than that, so for now at least keep. Also, I very much disagree with the notion raised above that it is other editors job to either fix bad templates or find places to implement them. If the creator or editors of a specific article don't care enough to use the templates, then that speaks for itself. --Gonnym (talk) 13:15, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Unused template. Not sure what it would be used but this and all sub-templates are unused. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:53, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete it really is confusing what the purpose of this unused template (created in 2011) and its subtemplates is. I can't see any value in maintaining it. Delete. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as I do not see what it is for. Fiipchip (talk) 11:46, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - It seems the template was used to create a table row for when other countries recognized a country. It seems this style has been deprecated and this template is broken. --Gonnym (talk) 13:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
