Single use template. Information can be transcluded into the parent article NetHope. The Banner talk 21:04, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly all redlinks, and those entries that aren't are nearly all NOT to telenovela articles but point to film, book, song, album articles, to disambiguation pages, or to something else equally irrelevant. Template could be userfied pending creation of the necessary articles.

There are several other templates in the same series which could also be nominated for TfD for the same reason, but this one is an extreme example. NSH002 (talk) 17:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: First of all create the template, so we can go slowly creating all those articles telenovelas, many of these items exist in the Spanish Wikipedia unfortunately do not exist here, but I'll create. for instance El diario de una señorita decente.--Damián (talk) 22:01, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The correct thing would be to write the articles first. You can only navigate between existing articles. The Banner talk 22:40, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well I disagree, because I just can not write in a day all these articles, and also help for other users to see the template to create these items. Now I'll create some items, but if I want to delete do what they want, I will not lose my time here.--Damián (talk) 23:14, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You should have written the articles before you published the navigation template. The Banner talk 23:23, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Open curly bracket

Template:Open curly bracket (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This has only one transclusion. I can't see how it is like {{!}}, as the curly bracket doesn't have other functions like | does. Pointless template. Rcsprinter123 (talk) @ 09:09, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

KeepRedirect: without it, some pages display highlighting incorrectly if a bare { is used, such as MasterChef New Zealand (series 5) - see the difference between with the template and without the template. Without using the template, the rest of the article will be highlighted orange by default. Ollieinc (talk) 09:50, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's really so much of a problem. How many people actually use Syntax Highlighter? Rcsprinter123 (chatter) @ 20:09, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or delete: {{(}} does the exact same thing. Either redirect the template there or delete it and change the one transclusion to the shorter template. moluɐɯ 13:49, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
