November 3

Template:NJ Burlington County Commissioners

This is not a template, bottom line. See the deletion discussion for the Template:NJ Atlantic County Commissioners. PerpetuityGrat (talk) 21:06, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sixteen Candles

I find this template unnecessary for several reasons. First, it is based on the assumption that the remake 15 Candles will come out, which is untrue, since it is only in development and can fail to proceed. So this template unduly highlights Selena Gomez's name and unduly lists 15 Candles as an outright film (when it is just a project). Furthermore, ideally, articles should be cross-referencing each other. For the "Music" section, only the song "16 Candles" actually has that term mentioned in it. None of the other music-related links mention "16 Candles" in any capacity. Regarding the Shermer High School connection, that is not even mentioned in 16 Candles or Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Not to mention that the "Characters" category with just a side character being linked (along with a tangential broad-scope article) seems awkwardly forced in. There is no good reason to have this template. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC) Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Have removed 15 Candles and unnecessary music links; keeping template only to film, video game, related, and characters. Vexedsmuggery (talk) 18:07, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Latest stable software release/Miranda NG

Single use template. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:16, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Do you want to remove it? It exists since a long time, I have only renamed Miranda IM to Miranda NG. — Neustradamus (✉) 21:28, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Latest preview software release/Miranda NG

Single use template. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:16, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Turned one

Single-use template insufficiently complex to be a template. Izno (talk) 03:55, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Calculated-linear-gradient

No longer necessary as linear gradient is now fully supported by the MediaWiki-supported browsers. Undocumented, so the original intent of the template does not appear to be available. It kind of looks like it meant to be able to shift its color inputs from one format to another, but I don't see that as generally necessary in this kind of template. Also disenables TemplateStyles. Izno (talk) 03:42, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Css3

I've made this one use, as in all other locations it was an unneeded template. The majority of remaining uses were for box-sizing: border box and some transform, properties which are no longer necessary for the browsers that MediaWiki supports. It's not a very good template because it assumes the structure of vendor-specific CSS will be the same as the non-vendor-specific, when there are sufficiently many examples in the wild where that was not the case. It otherwise might be a reasonable template for tracking vendor specifics, but we have Special:Search these days to find uses that no longer need to have vendor specific CSS. Izno (talk) 03:10, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the creator of this template, I agree with it should be deleted. There's no longer need for the browser-specific CSS prefixes except for esoteric properties that we likely wouldn't want to rely on anyway. The pace of browser adoption of new features has greatly increased since this template was created, and these days it's best to simply wait for the broad adoption of new CSS properties before using them. --Waldyrious (talk) 03:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Transform

I do not see a need for this template any longer. We no longer support any versions of any browsers which require the prefixed versions, meaning the only statement in the template is a pure statement of transform (see [1] versus phab:T266866). Additionally, the way this is implemented makes it fundamentally incompatible with TemplateStyles. This can trivially be added directly into the pages using this template. Subst and delete. (See similar earlier discussions about these kinds of templates at December 2020 and others there, as well as January 2021.) Izno (talk) 01:29, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Unicode Vertical Font Name List

Single-use templates that are quite specialized to boot. Izno (talk) 01:24, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Unicode Vertical Font Name List/BMP

Unused, clearly taken from some other wiki as it assumes the use of the Variables extension which is not installed here. Others also unused and clearly set up for the one use of the template above. (Deliberately put here as a separate nom.) Izno (talk) 01:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
