Navbox with only redirects and no transclusions. The main article may have been redirected out of process, because the corresponding de.WP article appears to have multiple sources, but the navbox body articles were just unsourced track lists. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It adds only one class beyond wikitable and sortable. It Breaks Things. Timeshifter (talk) 06:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete after substitution. Not needed to add two well-known classes, this template's class (already documented), and one niche align style. Transcluding attributes into the table start wikitext overcomplicates things, especially for newer editors trying to add other features through the table classes.

Not needed to add one class. And it Breaks Things. Timeshifter (talk) 06:43, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete after substitution. Not needed to add one class and two niche styles (center/bottom align). The class has specific use cases where it isn't needed on header rows when sortable is used, but doesn't break it if unnecessarily added. I looked at the first 10 transclusion pages and most transclusions are unnecessary, except maybe the inline styles that don't have a big impact. Also, class usage was recently clarified on Template:Static_row_numbers/doc, another reason the sub-template isn't needed anymore. Jroberson108 (talk) 11:42, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This unused template, created in 2020, appears to be redundant to {{Post-nominals/FJI}} and appears to violate WP:TEMPLATECAT. It should be deleted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No objection to deleting FJI-cats. I do not recall being aware of WP:TEMPLATECAT previously, but it does lay out a good case for why not to assign categories via templates in this manner. I had been using and convering to -cats when the situation arose, but I can see now that it was and is probably not a good idea.
What about these "-cats" post-nominals that would also appear to violate WP:TEMPLATECAT:
These may require more care if deleting. In addition to changing from XXX-cats to just XXX, the corresponding categories (if they still exist) should probably be inserted into each article (or at least verified that they are already in the article, which they often are). Many articles use the post-nominals template (with or without -cats) twice; once in the infobox and once in the lead sentence, although I have come across a couple that also used the template in the prose of the body of article or in tables listing persons, some of whom have post-nominals attached. It is not a terribly large number of affected pages (~199). I am willing to help scrub the pages if a manual approach makes the most sense.  — Archer (t·c) 07:13, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or move to userspace. Template and module space isn't the place to leave 3 year old unfinished work. If Elli wants it, then move to their userspace. Gonnym (talk) 20:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
