This template appears to be redundant to {{If}}'s "exist" option. It may be eligible for speedy deletion as a recreation of a deleted template, depending on the content of the deleted template of the same name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to ask for it to be deleted myself. I thought it could check interwiki which would be a new feature, but it can't. Please delete. JoeJShmo💌 00:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Domain parking with Template:Domain name speculation.
These two navboxes share almost all entries and it is unclear the link between the entries and the title ZandDev 22:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To put it bluntly, this family of templates should not exist. They simply create a wikilink in the style of a reference to the book, in a manner that appears to imply that the text it succeeds is supported by the "reference". Recommend that it is replaced by either full references, or the HPXref family of templates that are found in the same category, as those are actual references (though their names should be expanded, but that's a different discussion).

I can sort of see where this would be a useful convenience template, but given that an insource search shows zero uses across the entirety of the project, methinks that people are not using it (opting instead to just type out the full wikilink). Primefac (talk) 19:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Text and an icon, uses likely violate MOS:ICON but otherwise it's just a wikilink as a template. Primefac (talk) 18:10, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Military and Police Auxiliary Organizations within the United States. (non-admin closure) ToadetteEdit! 15:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:United States Military Auxiliaries with Template:Military and Police Auxiliary Organizations within the United States.
Clearly overlapping templates, so there's no need for both. The more expansive Template:Military and Police Auxiliary Organizations within the United States is a little busy and could use some better organization, but covers everything that Template:United States Military Auxiliaries, so this just reduces clutter. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 10:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
