March 4

Template:Scottish council populations

Barely used. Text should just be subst directly into the article. No reason to store this data in a template. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NSFW

Wikipedia is not WP:CENSORED. DannyS712 (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused DTS Subtemplates

With Template:Dts converted to use Module:Dts, these templates are no longer used or needed. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Riverland Indendent FL

One article. Not everything needs a navbox cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 19:42, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox former Arab villages in Palestine

Convert to a wrapper that transcludes {{Infobox settlement}}. 89.14.255.155 (talk) 18:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Format TemplateData dependencies

Previous TfDs for this template:

Imported as dependencies of Module:Format TemplateData (then called Module:TemplateData), which has been rewritten by me to no longer need them, so these modules are now unnecessary. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:02, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please note that de:Module:TemplateData does many, many, many things more which you definitely don't have rewritten.
  • See doc for the full picture, which has been rewritten here only with a very poor and small piece of available functionality.
  • Wrt “Multilingual” issues please see Test case or an internationalized global template on Bihari Wikpedia with Italian description, or Dutch, depending on current user language, or the similar thing in German Wikipedia but with English description.
  • Naturally I am opposing, since that is cutting down internationalized templates.
  • Note that you are using an 2017 fork of de:Module:TemplateData which lacks a lot of recent features, while the “rewritten” things are left at 2017 functionality and do not support newer developments.

Module:WLink

This module has two seperate usecases.

  1. The use of the ansiPercent function to encode URLs. This should be moved to Module:String as it is a string-formatting function, not one having to do with wikilinks
  2. The use of the rest module as a former dependency of Module:Format TemplateData (originally called Module:TemplateData): see #Module:Format TemplateData dependencies above

{{3x|p}}ery (talk) 15:54, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See one above.
  • The Module:Format TemplateData used here is of 2017 and lacks a lot of recent functionality.
  • As soon as upgraded to a current version (e.g. to show intermediate headlines on a very long parameter list, which is scrollable as well, navigating to headlines from TOC), all these dependencies will be required again.
  • You won't be able to rewrite each new release of Module:TemplateData and insert other function calls again and again.
  • Therefore, opposing as in 2018.

Template:Infobox South African town

Delete after replace in articles with {{Infobox settlement}}. The only dedicated town infobox for mainland Africa, all other towns use Infobox settlement directly. Created 2012, one editor. If that editor leaves, probably no one will maintain it. 77.11.90.163 (talk) 15:24, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Replace and redirect - we should be leaving it as a redirect in order to preserve previous diffs where the infobox is used. WP:INFOCOL clearly lists the process as merging and redirecting and this makes sense, as we don't want page histories to suddenly have unreadable infoboxes. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:50, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Hungarian settlement

Delete after replace in articles with {{Infobox settlement}}. Created 2009, creator indef blocked. 77.11.90.163 (talk) 15:17, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TV channel programs template

WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Moreover, this is hardly being updated and some TV series have finished airing months ago. ~~ CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 10:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Russian governorate

Delete after replace in articles with {{Infobox settlement}}. Created 2007, creator vanished. Only 39 articles use it, of these only 10 are governorates: Kazan Governorate, Baku Governorate, Elisabethpol Governorate, Erivan Governorate, Black Sea Governorate, Mogilev Governorate, Tiflis Governorate, Tambov Governorate, Kutais Governorate, Georgia-Imeretia Governorate. 78.54.212.31 (talk) 05:09, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Replace and delete per nom. Regardless of title of the "settlement" template, which is not logically intuitive, it's better to have all these types of template replaced by a single more easily edited central one. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace and delete - per nom and Tom. Also, seeing as how this is mostly used for non-governorates, this is another justification for why a centralized template is much better for maintaining usage. --Gonnym (talk) 12:12, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Finnish former municipality

Replace and delete. Use transcluded Infobox settlement directly. 77.11.159.48 (talk) 04:16, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused Championnat National templates

Unused template. Content already directly on pages. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:26, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:When in sandbox

Propose merging Template:When in sandbox with Template:Sandbox other.
Duplicate templates with same function. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused PDB gallery templates

A bunch of unused gallery templates. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused timeline templates

Unused time templates. no need to keep them around. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:14, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing any rationale for deletion here. So what if they're unused? Use them! A rationale of 'not usable' or 'shouldn't be used' would be reason to delete, but not this.
Also, if an implementation is of poor quality but the notion of having a templated timeline is still valid, then we should work to improve what we have, not just discard it.
Likewise readability. That seems to come from some sizing or fuzzy font choices deep within the implementation of <timeline> – that's not something which is fixed by deleting these. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Recognition of Country

Unused template. Not sure what it would be used but this and all sub-templates are unused. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:53, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
