Template:New Talent Awards (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Main article for this template has been deleted. Template had only two remaining transclusions, both of which I have just removed. I see no current or future use for this navigation template. Safiel (talk) 23:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Safiel: The template was nominated for speedy under WP:G8 as the main article New Talent Awards is already deleted. Why was the CSD declined and this TfD started? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dharmadhyaksha: A navigation template does not fall within the strict requirements of CSD G8. It is not a subpage or a talkpage of a deleted page. In the past, I have had administrators decline my speedy deletion attempts on templates and require that I go through TfD instead. I would actually like to see CSD G8 expanded to include navigation templates, but for now, that is not the case. Safiel (talk) 16:54, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that admins differ on this point of view. Template:TheGlobalIndianHonourBestActress and Template:TheGlobalIndianHonourBestActor have been deleted previously on same CSD criteria. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 17:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As there does seem to be confusion and differences of opinion on this issue, I have left a message at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion asking for some general guidance on the issue. Safiel (talk) 20:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for starting the discussion. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:27, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was relisting here. ~ Rob^Talk 13:53, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Scleroprotein disease (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I propose that this template is deleted because it adds to 'navbox clutter' on pages and does not help readers navigate between pages.

I propose that this template is instead converted to a table placed on the page Collagen disease, and links provided (if necessary) in the 'see also' sections. I just do not think this template helps readers, and hence am proposing this. I look forward to the opinions of other editors Tom (LT) (talk) 15:49, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox political party/div (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No longer used by Template:Infobox political party, should be without any transclusions after cache is fully updated. PanchoS (talk) 13:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox MTR edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was merge by substituting transclusions of MTR after conversion to a wrapper that's safe to substitute. Unopposed. ~ Rob^Talk 14:00, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox MTR (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox station (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox MTR with Template:Infobox station.
This can be replaced by {{Infobox station}}; it is not necessary to have a separate infobox template for every system.

I am the creator of {{Infobox MTR}} (which is a wrapper based on {{Infobox station}}), which I was replacing {{Infobox MTR station}} with acc. to this TfD discussion, but stopped replacing it due to lack of interest. I don't think that it was much of a good idea to make this wrapper, given that it's actually completely unnecessary. While it automatically fills in most of the parameters of {{Infobox station}} (the only advantage), it uses Module:HK-MTR stations (for things like the lines and number of platforms) instead of getting values from Wikidata, as is now possible. It would be a better idea to automatically call values from Wikidata through {{Infobox station}} instead. Merging would involve substituting this template where it's used (as well as other enclosed template calls using {{{|safesubst:}}}).

Please clarify. Since the result of the previous discussion for {{Infobox MTR station}} was to delete and use {{Infobox station}}) or this wrapper instead, are you going to complete that deletion or substitution at the same time? Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Secondarywaltz: I'll substitute {{Infobox MTR}} after adding safesubst, etc.; but turn {{Infobox MTR station}} directly into a wrapper for {{Infobox station}} so that it doesn't take as long to complete the process.
