All single-use templates. These templates have article information on template space which is a violation of Wikipedia:Template namespace. There is no need to transclude a simple table list outside of the article. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:18, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete. Table rosters should not be in templates (unlike navboxes) as they are only used (and should only be used) on the team page. Gonnym (talk) 07:16, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Single-use template with no template parameters. This is article content that should be carefully copied into the parent article and then deleted. Note that the navbar will need to be removed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:48, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Crisis in Venezuela sidebar

[edit]

Propose merging Template:Crisis in Venezuela sidebar with Template:Crisis in Venezuela short.
These two templates effectively duplicate each other's information. I'm suggesting we merge the longer one (CiV sidebar) into the short one so that we can cut down on the height of article sidebars, potentially by making the former redirect to the latter. Newbzy (talk) 10:22, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the longer bar should be merged to the short one, and the longer one redirected to the shorter one (which I created because the longer bar is so obstructive). Sidebars that need to be that long belong in horizontal bars at the bottom of the article so they don't interfere with content. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:43, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. However, per MOS:DONTHIDE, it should go to the large one. If the large one is too annoying, and that isn't at all surprising, then both should be deleted and Template:Crisis in Venezuela used instead. Gonnym (talk) 07:23, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(For the CiV short sidebar) What about if, for each article, we expand only the section relevant to it? This is like what's done for Trump's articles, where his sidebar is opened only to the section where the article's name appears (check out Business career of Donald Trump for example). Newbzy (talk) 07:48, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which would also apply to the larger one? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 09:43, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That one doesn't collapse tho. Newbzy (talk) 10:00, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My preference is to keep the short one and delete the long one, which is a duplicate of the navbox. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:38, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Due to the complexity and large number of articles, I chose the layout that collapses more effectively. I also added a few missing articles. I applied a similar change on the Portuguese Wikipedia as well Wilfredor (talk) 01:46, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
DONTHIDE basically gets a pass for all navboxes. Not sure why it's being mentioned here. Izno (talk) 16:24, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both redundant to {{Crisis in Venezuela}}. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:32, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and really completely pointless template of an icon. If someone really wants to use this icon, then just use the icon. This icon does not help or give any additional functions to a discussion (and obviously for articles this is invalid). Gonnym (talk) 07:33, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

שלום Gonnym
I hope you are well. Thanks for the message. Always pleased to meet a Wikipedian who is working across different languages. Very important to see things from different perspectives. My guess is that an easter egg might have very little significance for you? And in the big scheme of things this icon also has very lttle significance for me. But I am trying to teach a few vernacular Wikipedians how to use templates, and perhaps create easter eggs. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_25/Easter_egg_experiments Regards Derek J Moore (talk) 08:05, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate you helping new editors, but can't we teach them how to do things that we actually want and need on en.wiki? Teaching them about creating stuff that will end up being sent to deletion is probably not the best experience. Gonnym (talk) 16:12, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Gonnym It is your choice to send this template to deletion, not mine! Derek J Moore (talk) 10:16, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused content tables. These should not be in templates anyways. Gonnym (talk) 07:30, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a template if those tables are used in article then there's very less probability of getting vandalism of those tables. Kaustubh42 (talk) 07:33, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the page is being vandalized then request protection. We don't hide article content in templates. Gonnym (talk) 07:44, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. These templates used to generate interactive maps, but there is no such ability in the Charts extension. The next best thing would be to create some SVG maps; see c:Commons:Map resources for help doing that. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:16, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox residential college

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. WP:SNOW (non-admin closure) Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:58, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox residential college with Template:Infobox university.
I see nothing unique enough about Residential college that warrants a custom template. We've already merge 20+ variants to Infobox university, this seems prime for the same treatment. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:22, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose. The targets and emphasis of information are completely different. "Already merged 20+ variants" does not constitute a necessity and valid reason to merge these two. Cfls (talk) 05:53, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning support. Cfls hasn't pointed out any specific thing that is different parameter-wise that makes the nomination incorrect. So leaning support until new information is presented. Gonnym (talk) 07:27, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose. A residential college is not a university, and, as Cfls has noted, the respective infoboxes rightly present different data. Having separate parameters for things like sister colleges, JCRs, boat clubs, titles of college heads, &c. continues to be of interest to these pages' visitors, and it might be unwise to lose them arbitrarily. There is no reason to lose this resolution and I fail to see what there would be to gain in such an ungainly lumping. Claudius Deirus (talk) 16:52, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. These are two different things. A residential college is typically a set of dormitories or "houses" within a college or university. It typically does not have things like academic departments, enrolled students, a sports mascot, professional schools (e.g. a law school or a business school), or the other trappings of a full university. The two things are too different for a merge to make sense. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:56, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This merge would create unnecessary bloat to a template that's already excessively bloated, and as others have already pointed out, a residential college and a university are two different things. There is not enough overlap to constitute a merge. AstroSloth12 (talk) 10:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Two substantively different things. Jjazz76 (talk) 21:21, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This template is no longer working due to the Graph extension chaos; uses need to be converted to use {{Chart}}. Because {{Chart}} requires files at Commons to function, this is best accomplished via GraphBot (talk · contribs) by changing {{Graph:Chart to {{PortGraph|name=Descriptive name for the file at Commons and leaving the rest of the template code alone. See this sample human edit which resulted in this bot edit. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:21, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Convert and delete per nom. We need to remove these sections of dead content from our articles. Gonnym (talk) 07:04, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you expect to accomplish by bringing this to TfD now; people are already working on converted uses and every use requires the manual addition of a name, so shunting work that is already being done into the TfD holding cell does not accomplish much. But agree this should eventually be Deleted. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:32, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
