The result of the discussion was Delete. WOSlinker (talk) 18:49, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Other uses6 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

T doubles existing functions & effects. There are 2(!) alternatives, each with a grand usage: ({{for}} and {{about}}. Redirect won't work, because of 2nd pipe (=skip 1st param) -- that is, as far as I know about Redirect param effects. -DePiep (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure: recently (well, yesterday at our WP 10th's birthday) I edited 172 usages of "{{other usage6|..." into "{{for||..." by AWB. There was a rebuke. -DePiep (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

+Earlier TfD, in a group: WP:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2007_July_8#Otheruses_templates. Result: withdrawn. -DePiep (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

+Another one: TfD Log/2006_April_16. Result was: Delete. Huh? Why does it exist then... (recreated afterwards? I cannot see that through pp). The nominator wrote five years ago: These are apparently no longer needed, and there is an excessive proliferation of similar-looking and poorly-documented disambiguation templates. Could not have put it better. Added 2nd, more earlier TfD. -DePiep (talk) 11:30, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Migrate extant cases to {{for}} and delete per nom. I say that as the principal author of the template. This was created when {{for}} was not as functional as it now is; it does now subsume all functionality of {{otheruses6}}. (And who spaced that into {{other uses6}}? That looks ridiculous. What're "uses6", and why do we need other ones? ;-) — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 03:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. No longer necessary. Mhiji 20:49, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose. They are still necessary and are used as is demonstrated by the page "This template controls the cells colors for category 5 Cyclone statistics in a template-driven tropical cyclones statistics table. It is used by template:TC stats cyclone, template:TC stats first landfall, and template:TC stats next landfall when cat=CY5."Jason Rees (talk) 20:56, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't used. Click on the links button for each of them above. I know it says that, but none of those templates now actually link to or transclude them...? Mhiji 21:00, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect The output of Template:TC stats auscat1 desc is the same as Template:TC stats CY1 desc, so one could be redirected to the other. Someone should modify this template to use switch statements, rather than having a large category filled with tiny templates. 134.253.26.4 (talk) 17:54, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Salatut elämät (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template has only characters, but all of them are redirects to the main article, as shown here. --LoЯd ۞pεth 21:02, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userspace it, out of courtesy. While the TV show in question is perhaps of less interest to English speakers than, say, The Simpsons, it's at least somewhat reasonable to expect that the principal author of the main article on the series and this template has plans to develop subarticles. As server space is not a relevant issue in XfDs, there's not really any strong reason to delete this outright, which would make the template code and content unavailable to its creator unless said person has admin privileges. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 03:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Since when content at Wikipedia should be kept "out of courtesy"? All links in the template redirect to the main article, which makes this navbox completely useless since there is no "navigation" at all. --LoЯd ۞pεth 07:08, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Other, similar squad templates exist for the World Cup, etc. but I can't find similar ones for the ICC Champions Trophy (a less important cricket competition).

Keep - I was actually looking for something like this. Contains considerable information not in Infobox Rocket. Also, as noted, WP:AIR's standards have a list-like specification template for all articles; WP:ROCKETRY should as well.
Comment this is still used, mostly through substitution, however it is being phased out. --G W… 05:03, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. To avoid erroneous TfD nominations like this one, please document the template so its use and requirement of substitution are clear. I nominate these on sight because they have no transclusions or incoming links, and no documentation whatsoever. Thanks, — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:30, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment it's an old template, you should know, considering your activity here, that old templates frequently don't have documentation, or if it does, it's located on the talk page, or the first template of a set of templates. So if it doesn't have documentation, you should be able to seek out the proper people to contact. 65.93.14.196 (talk) 05:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - The creator is seldom active. He was the only substantial contributor. I have no way of knowing who is using the template, as it is subst'ed. In my view, it is better to nominate this template for deletion and then determine, from the responses, if it is used or not. If I went and asked at WikiProjects before nominating templates, the whole process would become long, slow, tiring, and often fruitless. Anyway, I'm going to withdraw this nomination now. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:52, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From our style guideline on hatnotes, information relevant to the context of the article belongs in the lead, not in a hatnote, which are primarily for disambiguation only. This was nominated for deletion previously here. Sławomir Biały (talk) 03:27, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Such information does indeed belong in the lead section. Also, the linked article is quite general, and would not help readers' specific understanding of the topics to the extent that it needs a specific hatnote. — This, that, and the other (talk) 03:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rfl (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redirect to {{R from alternate language}} --- simple no? 65.93.14.196 (talk) 04:47, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe in this case that redirecting would be a bad idea. The text of redirect categorization templates does not appear on the redirect page, due to software limitations. So using the full name of the template helps other editors who are reading the source to understand the purpose of the redirect. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:46, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - The category appears on the redirect page, so, it does appear to indicate function if you're not editing the redirect. 65.93.14.196 (talk) 06:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it's the official romanization method for Korea, so how can you say that "revised romaisation" hasn't been used? 65.93.14.196 (talk) 04:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it is really necessary to mark every single romanized Korean word with a marker indicating the romanization. In soem cases this is appropriate, but usually the full name of the romanization method is used (often via a template like {{infobox Korean name}}). this template is not in use at the moment, with no evidence to show that it will begin to be used in the future. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:36, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tt is very easy to determine what it is for. It is the middle template for the set of templates {{rel-top}} , {{rel-mid}} , {{rel-bottom}} ; and is a formatting template, like many other templates that have top and bottom pairs. 65.93.14.196 (talk) 05:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep part of a set of templates, similar to alot of partial table templates that wikipedia has used. 65.93.14.196 (talk) 05:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that {{Rel-mid}} is documented, I can understand how it is used. However the new documentation does not make it clear what it is for. {{rel-top}} is only used in four articles about Laguna, where its use as a collapsing box is not appropriate. I have added the top and bottom templates to this nomination, and updated the rationale. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well it's definitely not superceded by collapsible list, since this set of templates is a collapsible multicolumn box which does not require list item itemization. It is more a combination of {{hidden}} with {{col-begin}}/{{col-break}}/{{col-end}}. Now whether it is better to use rel or hidden+col is a different question from being redundant with collapsible list. 65.93.14.196 (talk) 06:33, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - OK. I don't really know my way around the collapsing templates. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:14, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
