February 5

Template:Pp-reset

These three unused templates are redundant to {{pp}}. See the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Protection policy. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:46, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect / Delete No point having duplicate templates to maintain especially when I am not aware of a single page which has been office protected (I am only aware of it through the policy page), so its not as if they are used often either. Terasail[✉️] 00:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    On second thought, I think these templates should be left as they are. The module which creates these appears to directly check which template is being called in order to serve the correct banner and since they are individually selected based on which template is transcluded it is probably best to keep things the way they are unless a better solution is provided (I am not the best with modules so I may have misunderstood the nuance of the module here though).

  • Keep as module creator. You could say the same for all the protection templates implemented by Module:Protection banner; they are all essentially the same template, with different default arguments. So you can write {{pp-vandalism|office}}, and it will behave exactly the same as {{pp-office}}. This means that it doesn't make sense to nominate just {{pp-reset}}, {{pp-office}} and {{pp-office-dmca}} for being redundant to {{pp}}, as there are other protection templates that behave in exactly the same way. See here for the full list. I can see the argument that making people write {{pp|vandalism}} is cleaner than allowing them to write both {{pp|vandalism}} and {{pp-vandalism}}, but getting rid of the ability to write {{pp-vandalism}} etc. is going to require at least a few bots to be updated. This seems like a lot of hassle for little appreciable gain. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 10:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all I agree with Mr. Stradivarius on the general principle of pp-xx wrappers being useful, but not when they are unused. I would also support removing these from the module as well, for the same reason. In the extremely unlikely event that a page gets protected as an office action and a protection banner is needed, one can be created manually. 03:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

    Comment on the general case of being unused, I find that statement untrue, as a zeaolous edit-warrior could just remove them without people noticing; which is how we end up with duplicate templates. Thus templates become used, but were useful, and should have been used.. This is not a keep opinion in this case. I just find the general statement to be rather a poor reason for deletion. -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 06:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:UGM Bus Route

Unused. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will attach it to UGM Wikipedia to explain the University Bus Route. It's not the same with Trans Jogja since it only serves the university. So Keep the template as valuable information and need many contributions to developing it. Thoriq85 (talk) 07:37, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They are all linked from a respective template. Normally, rail templates are to be used on articles. It doesn't make sense why railway templates need to be linked from another rail template when if they if links to articles exist on respective templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Downlink selected page

Similar to the two discussions below this banner contributes to banner blindness while contributing very little other than advertising the newsletter. To see the problem in action you can look at basically any page where this template is used such as Talk:International Space Station where there are ten other banners that are more important than this one. --Trialpears (talk) 00:59, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Indonesian selected picture

I thought all of these were deleted, but apparently not. We don't really do selected X banners for portals any more because the banners were deemed to contribute to banner blindness while having very little value with their main use being to advertise the portal. This template is also only used once. --Trialpears (talk) 00:53, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
