Time to deprecate/kill ChemID?
{{ChemID}} is a CASNo lookup in the ChemIDplus database, which just appears to be PubChem. There are only a few dozen transclusions (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:ChemID), all the articles being "chemical" or "drug" articles that would have pubchem ID in the infobox as standard. The ChemID is instead (from spot-checking) listed in External links, and I don't see the value of highlighting that reference (or leading readers to think it's something other than pubchem). Should we get rid of these uses, and then kill the template?
@Leyo: who created it (but obviously anyone is welcome to contribute to discussion!). DMacks (talk) 02:49, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- It's too bad that ChemIDplus was migrated into PubChem. In cases, where the template is just listed in the External links section, it may just be removed. However, it is also used as a reference to specific infobox values. In Hyaluronic_acid#cite_ref-ChemIDplus_1-0 for instance, the template could be replaced by a link to https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/3084049#section=Acute-Effects&fullscreen=true that contains the same information as originally the ChemIDplus entry. --Leyo 22:32, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- I nuked the loose ExtLinks. DMacks (talk) 12:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- All article-space fixed. DMacks (talk) 02:07, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Unfortunately, there are many more, just without that template: Special:Search/insource:chemidplus --Leyo 19:38, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

- I know. I removed the (relatively few) occurrences in the External links section. --Leyo 20:29, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:ChemID
Template:ChemID has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. DMacks (talk) 13:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Template:Alfa
This template also has a similar problem. The website is moved, and they have changed catalog numbers of chemicals. --Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 07:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
