Template:Down arrow (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is not how we should link to page anchors; regular [[#Section name]] links suffice. The text produced by this template is entirely unprofessional. (See Morse v. Frederick) 68.35.40.154 (talk) 03:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pause and clean up the delete notice I can't decide whether this template has an unprofessional appearance, because the delete notice is currently being transcluded along with the template itself. See Morse v. Frederick 75.4.207.85 (talk) 07:38, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, for such purpose the TOC was invented! So it is "totally" useless. mabdul 11:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:DVD rationale (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to use of {{film cover fur}} with {{Non-free video cover}} Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:30, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't see how this is redundant to {{Non-free video cover}}. Anyway, there are 2 different styles of these templates, those which require substitution, and those which don't. I personally prefer the substitution style, as this allows the wording to be easily customized. PhilKnight (talk) 11:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The template itself could use an overhaul similar to how Template:Manga rationale operates, but having a template like this makes creating the appropriate fair use rational and attributing the correct license much easier. Also {{Film cover fur}} is not always the best match because not all DVD covers are film covers. —Farix (t | c) 17:53, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Talkpage of help (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Relatively unused, see WhatLinksHere. Template doesn't cover anything that isn't already located at Template:Talk header. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 23:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep talk header has no indication of where to place the discussion of someone seeking help, so is unhelpful, something that helpspace pages should not be. 65.95.13.213 (talk) 03:56, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as pointed, the generic template is not so clear about the help desk. Helping new users unfamiliar with the interface has a higher priority than avoiding redundance. If the template is not used very much, it may be used more Cambalachero (talk) 12:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Talkpage alt (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, only one transclusion. Subst and delete. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 23:36, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to template:user talk alt and merge to template:user talk as a different format activated by switch. Do not leave a redirect lying around ("talkpage alt" shows no indication it is for user pages in its name). Seems like a nice alternate format. (rename, to preserve edit history, since the current name should not exist as a redirect) 65.95.13.213 (talk) 03:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
