• Template:BioStor (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The URL format is no longer usable. It seems no identifier of authors exists now. GZWDer (talk) 23:35, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

• Keep using URLS in the format https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://biostor.org/author/69828 Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 07:48, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
• CommentDelete As far as I can see, this is used in 1 article (one...). Clicking the link in John du Pont brings you to the Wayback Machine, but clicking on the two most recent snapshots gives a 404 error... --Randykitty (talk) 09:11, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Template:Uses TemplateStyles/sandbox/example.css

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was keep. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 23:09, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

• Template:Uses TemplateStyles/sandbox/example.css (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Given that {{Uses TemplateStyles/example.css}} is, as the name implies, an example that is intentionally left blank, I don't see under what circumstance one would need to sandbox changes to it, therefore this sandbox page is useless. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 00:10, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Note: Because the page is a CSS page, adding a tfd tag is impossible. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 00:11, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

• Keep: Used as a demonstration on the doc that the template will find and link sandbox css pages - Evad37 [talk] 01:30, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

  @Pppery: Or it was until you made this edit [1]. And it wasn't me making up a convention, it was what was already in use, see about halfway through Wikipedia talk:TemplateStyles § Idiot's question: substing. But whatever, it probably needs to be decided through a discussion rather than bold edits. - Evad37 [talk] 01:41, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

  See Wikipedia talk:TemplateStyles § Sandbox naming convention - Evad37 [talk] 01:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

• Keep unless there is an alternative convention chosen for naming TemplateStyles sandboxes. Jc86035 (talk) 04:15, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

  This deletion nomination has nothing to do with the naming convention (although I happened to start it at the same time); It has to do with the fact that I don't see the need for an "intentionally-left-blank" page for the sake of demonstrating the sandbox linking feature. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 15:22, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

  The other example isn't necessary either. They are nice to have as examples, and we gain nothing from deleting them because they're obviously examples and do not need maintenance. Jc86035 (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
