Template:Hidden archive top
This template should be depreciated or removed. It is harmful to the project as a means to suppress debate, and the requirement for "uninvolved editors or administrators" does little to deter "IDONTLIKEIT" closes by someone not yet involved. At a minimum, the default text of "this discussion has been closed" should contain advice as to how to contest it's closure. Triona (talk) 09:43, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- As an alternative to this template that would discourage misuse, consider modeling a replacement on the talk page guidelines and CSD templates. ie Template:Hat-npa, such that the reasoning for closing a discussion is apparent, and such that abuse is readily apparent - having to specify a "generally accepted" reason for closing a discussion in this manner would make it harder to game.

Template:Mac OS X DevTools
Not enough content to justify this sort of template; could be summarized in a See also section. ℳono 03:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Template:IWork
- Template:IWork (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Not enough content to be useful; could be adequately summarized in a "sea also" section ℳono 02:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Template:Cleancat
- Template:Cleancat (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This template is redundant with {{Cleanup}} and {{Multiple issues}}. It should be orphaned by replacement with one of these two Template:Cleanup or a more specific maintenance tag. Bsherr (talk) 01:31, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- Keep exactly how is this redundant with {{Cleanup}} or with {{Multiple issues}} ? Both of those are article templtes, this is a category template. It says "category" in the text, whereas the two you point out both say "article". 76.66.200.95 (talk) 04:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's true of Template:Multiple issues, which I hadn't noticed. But Template:Cleanup should work for categories once the edit request is executed. --Bsherr (talk) 05:00, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Template:Disco Mix Club
- Template:Disco Mix Club (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused template intended for barely-notable Disco Mix Club. The article doesn't seem extensive enough to need a template. JaGatalk 10:00, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
