User:This, that and the other/Unused templates

This is a list of unused templates, excluding those meant to be substituted, documentation pages, sandboxes, and the like. (See below for full list of exclusions.)

About this report

This report was kindly generated by User:MZMcBride at about 07:42, 16 January 2011 (UTC) using the following SQL query:

SELECT DISTINCT
  page_title
FROM page
LEFT JOIN templatelinks
ON page_namespace = tl_namespace
AND page_title = tl_title
WHERE page_namespace = 10
AND page_is_redirect = 0
AND tl_from IS NULL
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT
                  1
                FROM categorylinks
                WHERE cl_from = page_id
                AND cl_to = 'Wikipedia_substituted_templates');

This gets a list of all templates that are not redirects, have no transclusions, and are not in Category:Wikipedia substituted templates.

I then performed the following adjustments:

Removed all templates containing "/sandbox", "/testcases", "/meta/shortname", "/meta/color", and all ending with "/doc".
Colored in teal all templates with "/" in the title.
Also removed all subpages of these templates:
- Template:Cite doi
- Template:Cite pmid
- Template:Editnotices
- Template:POTD caption
- Template:POTD credit
- Template:POTD image (these three only have dates from early 2007 as subpages)
- Template:POTD protected
- Template:POTD size
- Template:POTD title (these two only have dates from early 2007 as subpages)
- Template:TFA title

If you want the raw data, contact me on my talk page or by e-mail.

Proposing for deletion

Many useless templates (e.g. ones that contain two words, or have a few characters of random wikicode) can be speedy deleted under WP:G2. Most admins will delete these even if they are not intentional "test pages". Others can be deleted under WP:G6 (obviously redundant to the point of being useless), WP:G8 (for navboxes with no matching article, etc.) and WP:T3 (redundants/duplicates).

If you are considering nominating any of these templates for deletion (which is what this list is here for), take note of the following:

If the template is meant to be substituted (hence why it has no transclusions and appears on this list), tag it with <noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>. This puts it in the right category and prevents it from appearing on future updates of this list (I hope).
The "Latest ____ software release" ones are used only if such a release does occur; they should only be deleted if the parent article is deleted

Other pages

Other pages with similar data (may be older) include:

User:Plastikspork/Orphaned templates (and a categorized version at User:Plastikspork/Orphaned templates/1)
Subpages of User:RussBot/Orphaned templates (appears to exclude those with incoming links)
User:Avicennasis/todo/orphtem

The list

Those in teal are subpages (they have a "/" in the title). That's all. Feel free to remove any redlinks.
