Template:Uw-userspacenoindex

• Template:Uw-userspacenoindex (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Now that userspace is NOINDEX'ed by default, this template message is unnecessary. — Train2104 (t • c) 23:54, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Null edit

• Template:Null edit (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template with a broken tool link. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 21:45, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Cite doi/subpage

• Template:Cite doi/subpage (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Cite doi was retired, so this template probably should as well. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 21:44, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Miami Sting roster

• Template:Miami Sting roster (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A template which is potentially useful only if kept current, but has not been updated since its creation in 2012. Most of the links are red, and the 2 bluelinks both link to articles which appear to be unconnected to the topic of indoor American football. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:37, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Vgm sample

• Template:Vgm sample (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Created in 2006 per Talk:Video_game_music/Archive_1#Some_video_game_music_samples.3F. If it was needed, it would probably have been used by now. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:04, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Södertälje SK seasons

• Template:Södertälje SK seasons (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Pointless navbox which is just a sea of redlinks, with precisely zero navigable links. Even the title link is non-navigable. Created in 2008, so doesn't look like it is going anywhere. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:02, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Archive for converted wikitext talk page

• Template:Archive for converted wikitext talk page (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template does not appear to be in use anywhere anymore. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:30, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• delete. Seems it was overlooked in the last discussion; so delete per that discussion.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 17:04, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
• delete per nom. I omitted this template in my first listing because it seemed like it might have been used on some "/Flow archive" page, which apparently isn't true. Pppery 17:56, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per consensus to delete Flow_templates. This one was missed at the time. Alsee (talk) 18:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Citation/core/testing

• Template:Citation/core/testing (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template apparently is not used anymore. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:17, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• delete. I created it for testing many years ago. No longer needed. COGDEN 04:11, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Archive list/display25

• Template:Archive list/display25 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Archive list/check25

• Template:Archive list/check25 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Editintro/db-r3

• Template:Editintro/db-r3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template does not appear to be in use in system messages anymore, or anywhere at all. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:13, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete, unused and counterproductive. — Train2104 (t • c) 16:37, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Main talk category other

• Template:Main talk category other (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

It looks like the use of this template never really took off, given that it has only a few transclusions that don't appear to be proper uses. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:46, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Pp-main-page

• Template:Pp-main-page (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template does not appear to be in use anymore. Should it be deleted or simply marked as historical? (It has a fair amount of links) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:NotA-Class

• Template:NotA-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:25, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:WPBannerHeader

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

It looks like this template never really got into use. Pinging @MSGJ: given that it's on User talk:MSGJ/to do Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:51, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• delete, we don't need it. Frietjes (talk) 15:25, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:When on page

• Template:When on page (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This looks like a {{Namespace and pagename-detecting templates}} that never really took off. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:49, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• delete, we don't need it, and there so many other namespace/pagename detecting templates. Frietjes (talk) 15:26, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• delete, we don't need it, and there are so many other userlink templates. Frietjes (talk) 15:27, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Str index/logic

• Template:Str index/logic (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template does not appear to be in use anymore anywhere. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:12, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• delete, we don't need it now that {{str index}} uses Module:string. Frietjes (talk) 15:28, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Str index/getchar

• Template:Str index/getchar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:UK ISPs' Transparent Proxies

• Template:UK ISPs' Transparent Proxies (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was apparently never used, or isn't used anymore, on MediaWiki:Blockiptext. It is prolly obsolete and should be deleted or marked as historical and unprotected. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:08, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• Comment: It took seconds to find this diff, disproving your assertion. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:45, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

  It isn't there anymore, though. So that only says that it isn't in use anymore. Which makes sense as the IWF incident was nine years ago. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 13:09, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

  Diff of removal. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 13:11, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• move to a subpage of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/2008 IWF action. Frietjes (talk) 15:29, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

  That seems like a good move, actually. To Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/2008 IWF action/Template:UK ISPs' Transparent Proxies, perhaps? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:18, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Protected title

• Template:Protected title (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This way of salting titles is obsolete. Does it merit deletion, tagging as historical and unprotection? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:52, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Skin-file disambig

• Template:Skin-file disambig (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template does not appear to be used in system messages or MediaWiki:Common.js anymore. Is it still needed? It also needs to be delisted from WP:CASC if deleted. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:27, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: This requires investigation - if I go to Special:MyPage/skin.js when not logged in, I see this template flash by for a fraction of a second before the regular "Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name" page loads. — Train2104 (t • c) 18:30, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Found the trouble spot - need to remove the skin.js and skin.css lines from {{No article text}}. common.js sends the user immediately to the proper skin file name anyway. See sandbox. — Train2104 (t • c) 18:41, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete this template (as well as other unused subpages of {{Precision}}, not all of which have been nominated for deletion); unused. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

Template:BSkm

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

Unused and deprecated template; all uses have been replaced with {{BSsplit}}. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}
to reply to me 05:48, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Delete. Long overdue. Useddenim (talk) 14:15, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Deprod-afd

• Template:Deprod-afd (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Deprod-article (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Deprod-contro (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Deprod-disagree (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Deprod-m (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Deprod (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging all into {{Deprod}}. Having separate templates for each reason for deprodding seems excessive to me. Either merge with a parameter switch, or just use {{deprod-m}} that takes a custom explanation. I deliberately did not nominate {{deprod-reprod}}, as that is more of a policy reminder. — Train2104 (t • c) 01:47, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Support Seems fair. Maybe {{deprod-m}} can be adjusted to fit the standard WP:WARNING style. TheDragonFire (talk) 02:58, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:PRODNote

• Template:PRODNote (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Polite-prod (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Delete both as redundant with {{Proposed deletion notify}}. — Train2104 (t • c) 01:45, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
