Redundant to Template:Main other. The title of the template is wrong; it doesn't check if it's an article but if it's in mainspace. As far as I can tell it's currently only used in Template:PLANTS and Template:CGNDB. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 23:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without redirect per nom – misleading name for a template that only checks namespace. User:GKFXtalk 23:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace with {{main other}} and then Delete as redundant. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:03, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to {{main other}} -- this seems like a sensible name, and another redirect for {{is articlespace}} -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see how this is a sensible name though? An article and the article namespace are two different things. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 12:06, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It would only display true results when it is used on an articlespace page, so if the question is is the page this template is being used on an article, then it would be likely true if it was a page in articlespace -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:57, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    “Likely true” isn’t the same as true; there are many pages in articlespace which are not articles (e.g. all the redirects) a template called “is article” should not be returning true on a redirect. User:GKFXtalk 00:02, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • replace and delete, misleading name. when replacing, please eliminate the pointless {{is empty}}. Frietjes (talk) 20:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

this is a follow-up to the December 24 discussion. single-use weather box templates, per numerous prior discussions, these should be merged with the transcluding article and deleted. we have thousands of weatherboxes in thousands of articles, and the convention is that we put them in a separate template only when they are transcluded in more than one article. Frietjes (talk) 20:42, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete most; Delete Template:Kigali weatherbox without substitution as the correct location is Kigali#Climate which uses a different table. Unsure about Template:Khabarovsk weatherbox as Climate of Russia duplicates tables from cities like Khabarovsk#Climate. Gonnym (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Outdated. Functionality is now provided by Citation Style 1 templates like {{cite news}}, the documentation for this template is no longer accurate, and gnomes would just want to replace this sort of notation with updated syntax. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:56, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. I have moved these to subpages of User:Lythronaxargestes/. Lythronaxargestes, if you don't want to keep these, let me know, and I can move them elsewhere or delete them. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These templates are only used in one user's sandbox (except one template also used in an old talk page). If they wish to keep then subst to their page, otherwise delete. Gonnym (talk) 15:55, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am 99% that these period templates were used on pages by WP:GEOL at some point and that they were created for that purpose. Lavalizard101 or Hemiauchenia do you remember what these were for? Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 17:39, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the period ones used to be the period templates used on stage articles before being mass replaced by the infobox system in 2020 by Benniboi01. As for the Mamals evolution tree/sandbox, that appears to be a test by Bgtrakia, for what reason I have no idea. Lavalizard101 (talk) 20:14, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not all of them have been replaced, of the set of templates, (some of) the ones not nominated on this TfD page are still in use, like {{Neogene}}. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 21:27, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment why is the mammal sandbox bundled into this nomination? It's fundamentally a different template, and should be nominated separately. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 21:03, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Procedural close for {{Mamals evolution tree/sandbox}} as been of different content and concerns from the other nominated templates in this bundle. It should be split off and nominated separately -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 21:03, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • It was included as all of these are only used by the same editor and are for related subjects. I've however split it to a different section. --Gonnym (talk) 21:54, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert the geology time period division templates into footer templates like {{Jurassic footer}} and add to their respective articles -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 21:23, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or userfy (with no strong opinion on which). Much of the above discussion is irrelevant; it should not be the duty of TfD to try to determine how a now-unused template was once used; instead, the fact that it was used only in userspace long enough to be found by Gonnym is evidence by itself that nobody cares about its former mainspace uses, if any exist. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:51, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused sub templates of Template:Infobox ship characteristics. Probably made obsolete after the template was converted to use Module:WPSHIPS utilities. Gonnym (talk) 13:42, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These templates were part of an attempt to persuade editors at WP:SHIPS to allow {{infobox ship characteristics}} to fetch data from wikidata; WP:SHIPS were not persuaded.

Unused random number generation templates; redundant to {{#invoke:random|number}} or equivalent. I am aware that these are in the portal namespace, but since they are coded as generic RNG templates I am taking them to TfD. User:GKFXtalk 13:27, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These pages hold template code in the portal namespace. Not sure what replaced these, but I see that {{Random portal component}}, {{Transclude random subpage}} and {{Transclude random excerpt}} exist. Gonnym (talk) 14:24, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch, the template has not been used yet. Q28 (talk) 13:07, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have forgotten how this worked / was intended to work. And I am struggling to get to the bottom of it. If you could remind me how to list all templates under (/after?) "Template:Year in South Africa/mkLink", I would say that if there are no other templates there at all, these three are most likely safe to remove. They probably were an early attempt at achieving my goal - and then got forgotten once I acheived it by an easier route. --StephanNaro (talk) 15:00, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
