Proposed deletion


If process guidelines are met, move templates to the appropriate subsection here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a template, ensure that it is not in use on any pages (other than talk pages where eliminating the link would change the meaning of a prior discussion), by checking Special:Whatlinkshere for '(transclusion)'. Consider placing {{Being deleted}} on the template page.

Closing discussions

The closing procedures are outlined at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Administrator instructions.

To review

Templates for which each transclusion requires individual attention and analysis before the template is deleted.

To merge

Templates to be merged into another template.

Primefac, the first three "completed", the last one I still need to do by hand, it's only about 50 articles. The problem with the first two (wayback and webcite.. mostly wayback) is IABot is still adding them at the rate of 50-100 a day so until IABot is upgraded, I can't complete the merger. I periodically re-run the merge script to catch up. -- GreenC 03:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Cyberpower678 and/or Kaldari, what's the best way to resolve this issue? Primefac (talk) 04:41, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
IABot needs to have support for the new multipurpose template.—cyberpowerMerry Christmas:Unknown 13:18, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Green Cardamom:, in case you didn't see ^. Primefac (talk) 19:14, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac: - This was a lot of work but the merge is complete and the templates can be deleted. There are some tracking categories too. Ping User:C678 I would imagine any IABot code for wayback/webcite templates can probably safely be removed. -- GreenC 04:59, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Pages deleted. As for IABot the code will remain for those users still used to using the wayback template. They are marked as invalid and will get forced over to webarchive if any instances are found.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 19:00, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome. I'll leave this thread here for the moment, but Green Cardamom can remove it whenever the end up seeing it. Primefac (talk) 19:02, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Meta

To convert

Templates for which the consensus is that they ought to be converted to categories, lists or portals are put here until the conversion is completed.

That sounds like a good place to hold the conversation. Primefac (talk) 05:27, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To substitute

Templates for which the consensus is that all instances should be substituted (i.e. the template should be merged with the article) are put here until the substitutions are completed. After this is done, the template is deleted from template space.

To orphan

These templates are to be deleted, but may still be in use on some pages. Somebody (it doesn't need to be an administrator, anyone can do it) should fix and/or remove significant usages from pages so that the templates can be deleted. Note that simple references to them from Talk: pages should not be removed. Add on bottom and remove from top of list (oldest is on top).

  • None currently

Ready for deletion

Templates for which consensus to delete has been reached, and for which orphaning has been completed, can be listed here for an administrator to delete. Remove from this list when an item has been deleted. If these are to be candidates for speedy deletion, please give a specific reason. See also {{Deleted template}}, an option to delete templates while retaining them for displaying old page revisions.
