The result of the discussion was delete after replacing all uses with {{Graph:Chart}} as appropriate. Primefac (talk) 16:56, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Line chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

{{Line chart}} (which is is powered by EasyTimeline) is redundant and inferior to {{Graph:Chart}} (which is powered by the Graph extension).

The most serious issue with {{line chart}} is that it doesn't display for readers on the mobile site (which accounts for half of English Wikipedia's traffic). {{Graph:Chart}} does display on mobile, has fewer restrictions and offers additional features such as labels for the x and y axes. Additionally, the aliasing with the EasyTimeline graphs is pretty horrible. {{Graph:Chart}} also uses a less complex syntax than {{Line chart}}, resulting is smaller page sizes.

The WMF want to remove EasyTimeline. MW:Extension:EasyTimeline says 'The Graph extension aims to replace this extension' and there's a ticket to do this (created by a WMF employee, I note) at phab:T137291. This is probably the least important reason to switch, but everything using EasyTimeline will at some point have to be migrated to another solution. 124.169.123.253 (talk) 21:12, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as translator of this template: I'm all for replacing it with a technically superior template, but if possible existing uses should be converted first, either into the new format or into an image. Sandstein 15:00, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sandstein, exsisting uses are always converted before deletion. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 22:59, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Indian Christianity (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:History of Christianity in India 52-1653 with Template:Indian Christianity.
Strange way to have a template like that. Due contents may be merged with Template:Indian Christianity. Actual text content, though, could probably be merged with the history section of the plain article Saint Thomas Christians. PPEMES (talk) 12:48, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Used in only one article. Can already navigate to all linked songs through the {{Kylie Minogue songs}} template. The full track listing can be viewed by linking to Impossible Princess. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 05:15, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
