February 28

Template:Lynching in India

Unused navbox with all articles covered by the category that's linked in the title. Better to navigate through the category as there is no mainspace article for such a subject. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lynching is an issue in India and there had been many incidents, so I have created this template. Still, the choice of Wikipedia editors is respectted. Nadiallah (talk) 10:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A navbox has significant advantages that make it distinctly more useful than a category. a nav box is highly useful in its own right for some purposes, such as, for example, topics that are highly relevant to social concerns and to public policy, such as this one, which is indeed highly relevant to major societal issues. --Sm8900 (talk) 17:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and unnecessary template. Gonnym (talk) 06:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:U.S. Supreme Court composition 1789–1792

The above templates are all unused after Gallery of United States Supreme Court composition templates was deleted and editors at the AfD did not want to merge its content (including these) into List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States by court composition. Gonnym (talk) 07:21, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Translation/Talkpage

Unused talk page message that I couldn't find if it was even used and it doesn't seem to be set for subst. It's also has nothing to do with Template:Translation. Gonnym (talk) 07:36, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Community of Madrid medical cases chart

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/South Africa, Western Cape medical cases

Covid data by district in Western Cape, South Africa. Not maintained and such detailed data is unlikely to be usable. Nigej (talk) 09:57, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Canada/Manitoba medical cases chart

Covid data for sub-divisions of Canada. Not maintained and unlikely to be usable. Nigej (talk) 09:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Inactive collaboration since 2014. Subst talk page usages of {{COL Invitation}} and delete both. Gonnym (talk) 11:43, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dictator Novel Grading

Relate to the defunct Wikipedia:WikiProject Murder Madness and Mayhem. One transclusion each there. Suggest Subst/delete. Nigej (talk) 12:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Subst and delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Heh, not "defunct," simply finished. :) But if the subst leaves the page looking as it does, then this is fine by me. (I'm far from a template expert.) --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused Navbox relating to the EFL Championship (soccer). Now covered by {{EFL Championship}}. Nigej (talk) 12:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ANZC team nav

Unused team navbox. Gonnym (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Eliteserien seasons

Unused Navbox now covered by {{Eliteserien}} (Norwegian soccer). Nigej (talk) 12:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Afd footer (multiple)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to nominate multiple related pages for deletion does not use this template. Gonnym (talk) 12:17, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Baltic Pipeline System-II/nav

Unused template with external links. Parent template was deleted here but I have no idea if they were really related or not. Gonnym (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:English Northern Premier League teams

Unused table relating to the 2006-07 Season of the Northern Premier League (soccer). No obvious use since its primarily a list of the final league positions. Nigej (talk) 12:21, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Base category

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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 Draftied by creator. (non-admin closure) UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:17, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused category template which if used, would link to a red link category. Might be still be unfinished so if creator wants it, it should be moved to their userspace otherwise, deleted. Gonnym (talk) 12:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. 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).

Unused sub-template of Template:Basketballbox collapsible which was removed here after being in use for 4 minutes. Gonnym (talk) 12:25, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Common image aspect ratios

A table that is only used at Aspect ratio (image). Should be subst and deleted. Gonnym (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By subst, do you mean copying the template code in the article? Because I created this template to remove that code from the article. The RedBurn (ϕ) 13:51, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is what substing means. We don't generally create templates solely to remove code from one article, so subst and delete. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then keep. By the way, one use only isn't one of the WP:TFD#REASONS. What's the purpose of filling articles with code? The RedBurn (ϕ) 21:25, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Floorball Championships

Unused Navbox. Only covers up to 2008. Has been replaced by {{World Floorball Championships}}, {{EuroFloorball Cup}}. Nigej (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Continent/Complex

Unused sub-templates of Template:Continent. Gonnym (talk) 12:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Convert to use WPBannerMeta

Unused. Seems any conversion needed was completed. Category:Templates to be standardized/WPBannerMeta should be deleted with it. Gonnym (talk) 12:36, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Council Front LegCo members

Unused navbox for a topic which has no article Council Front. Gonnym (talk) 12:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Current hour offset in time zone/old

Unused copy of code which is already located in the edit history of Template:Current hour offset in time zone. Gonnym (talk) 12:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:DART FS

Unused templates marked as deprecated. Gonnym (talk) 12:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:FD rc

Unused invite for an event that happened in 2016 so won't be used either. Gonnym (talk) 12:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:FOLDOC/text

Unused sub-template of Template:FOLDOC. Gonnym (talk) 12:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Female sign

Unused male and female character templates. If someone really needs to use these, they can just use the symbols. No need for the templates. Gonnym (talk) 12:49, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Harbin districts

Unused as Harbin#Administrative divisions uses a different map. Gonnym (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Parc de loisirs

Unused but more importantly, created in the incorrect namespace. Gonnym (talk) 12:57, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox neuron/Copyandpaste

Unlinked from parent template and also very unnecessary and prone to being outdated. Any "copy and paste" usage should be in the Template:Infobox neuron#Usage or Template:Infobox neuron#Example sections. Gonnym (talk) 12:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Attilio Fontana sidebar

Unused sidebar with several links leading to the same article. Realistically Attilio Fontana is the only article where this is usable so it's not "part of a series about" him. Nigej (talk) 14:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hidden image

WP:NOTCENSORED * Pppery * it has begun... 14:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:NOTCENSORED is 100% clear. Nigej (talk) 14:55, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It is not possible to use this template in a way that complies with policy. Thryduulf (talk) 15:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:28, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment a previous template of this name was speedily deleted in 2017 under the (now-repealed) criterion WP:CSD#T3, but reading the deleted talk page it seems that it was (intended as?) some sort of wrapper for Template:Hidden rather than directly for violating WP:NOTCENSORED (although one of the desired uses was contrary to that policy). Thryduulf (talk) 18:57, 28 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Template:Lambdawave

Plain text, only used in the creator's own sandbox. We don't have an article on Lambdawave so nowhere for this text to go. Nigej (talk) 16:01, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:La Puerta Del Sol Chihuahua

Short piece of plain text used in the creator's own space. No obvious use. Nigej (talk) 16:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PaginaPrincipale/Guida

A template only used on one page and consists of "Don't Panic" in stylized text. Should either be subst there and deleted, or just removed as pointless text. Gonnym (talk) 16:13, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:LNBS Hurricane S-S Hurricane Scale Color Chart

From 2006. Table related to colors to be used for the Saffir–Simpson scale. Difficult to imagine a use for it. Used on one talk page. Nigej (talk) 16:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:LDS Leader

Unused box relating to leaders of the Latter Day Saint movement. Nigej (talk) 16:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Arifiye-Adapazari

Unused route map for the Arifiye–Adapazarı railway (I assume, although confusingly it mentions the Pehlivanköy–Svilengrad railway). Nigej (talk) 18:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Auckland Metro train network

Unused route-map. Covered at List of Auckland railway stations which has a map with the stations marked. Nigej (talk) 18:51, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Politics of Newfoundland and Labrador

Unused sidebar. Was the subject of a TfD in 2011 when it was a navbox, but has since turned into a sidebar. The navbox {{Newfoundland and Labrador politics}} covers the topic. Nigej (talk) 19:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Poradaha–Bhanga railway

Unused route-map of the Poradaha–Bhanga railway but no actual content to link to. Nigej (talk) 19:26, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Population per MP per district (Turkey)

Chart of the average population per MP in each of the Provinces of Turkey but it's unreferenced and not usable. Nigej (talk) 19:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:56, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Still support deletion after the striking of part of the nomination. The template is unused, and we shouldn't give abandoned content like this a second shot at life because it happened to be in a template. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:50, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Porto Metro

Route-map of the Porto Metro, which doesn't use it. {{PM-network}} is used and there's clearly no requirement for both. Nigej (talk) 19:36, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Prehistoric Southwest Asia timeline

Unused timeline for prehistoric Southwest Asia. Nigej (talk) 19:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:56, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've added it to several relevant articles. Also, I created this just last summer; why not ask whether it's still being worked on rather than going straight to TfD? – Joe (talk) 06:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If you create a template you need to use it within 10 minutes, not 10 months. Development should be done in your own sandbox area. Nigej (talk) 07:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Please point me to the policy you've taken that rule from. Because WP:TFD#REASONS gives (emphasis original): The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used. – Joe (talk) 08:05, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn. Now used in a number of articles. Nigej (talk) 08:00, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Uw-2redirect/doc

No transclusions. This /doc subpage is not needed, because the parent template uses the standard {{Single notice}} shared by similar pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Uw-plotsum1/doc

No transclusions. This /doc subpage is not needed, because the parent template uses the standard {{Templates notice}} shared by similar pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:35, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Warrnambool line/doc

No transclusions. This /doc subpage is not needed, because the parent template uses the shared {{Railway-routemap}} to display its documentation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check/doc

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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 Delete; deleted as G7 by MSGJ (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) AnomieBOT⚡ 23:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. The parent page is a redirect, and the redirect target uses automatic documentation generated by the template, so there is no possible use for this page or its content. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:43, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. 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).

Template:Middle Ages Europe

Unused and duplicates Template:Middle Ages. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:50, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. this template is totally different from template:Middle Ages, as it uses a creative and useful alternate approach; namely, by grouping articles by separate topics, rather than simply by chronological phases without any topical groupings. --Sm8900 (talk) 02:42, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ranks and Insignia of Non NATO Navies/OF/Kingdon of Hawai'i

Currently used on a draft article by the creator of this template. Probably has potential in the future, but maybe userfication is the best way at the moment. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:28, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Nothing interesting

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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 speedy delete. G7 -- TNT (talk • she/her) 23:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing interesting. Not even used. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
