WAFLW link templates
edit- Template:WAFLW Cla (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WAFLW EF (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WAFLW PT (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WAFLW SF (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WAFLW Sub (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WAFLW SD (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
These are link templates only with no special function, which are not sufficiently complex to merit a template. Suggest subst and delete. Izno (talk) 14:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep These, like a lot of similar useful shortcuts, are often used with the subst function, so you can't tell how often they are used. Why are you trying to make things harder for editors? The-Pope (talk) 15:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Templates which are so simple distract from learning wikitext: bare links are preferable in general so that pages are easy to update. I did not make an argument about how much they are used, but it's true, they aren't used very often. Izno (talk) 15:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. I've said this before, if links for teams, groups, companies, games, etc., need a template, then why aren't we doing this for every other one that doesn't use a template? While this might seem silly, this is actually a core design philosophy here, either a template should be used for simple links, or plain links and redirects should be used. Looking at 2023 AFL Women's supplementary draft, Template:WAFLW Cla is used there manually, which means that someone took the time and instead of writing a clear link, used the template. This to me is very unhelpful as it makes reading the Wikitext harder. If these templates would have been used in automated way where code takes part of an article titles and from there uses it to find a template, then that would have been a different scenario, which this isn't it. TL/DR: less helpful than plain links with no real added value. Gonnym (talk) 16:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- That said, if it were true they were substed often, Template:WAFL EP wouldn't have 300 links. Izno (talk) 15:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

(copying my comment from the nomination above this, however, if replying to me, please only reply in one of them) I've said this before, if links for teams, groups, companies, games, etc., need a template, then why aren't we doing this for every other one that doesn't use a template? While this might seem silly, this is actually a core design philosophy here, either a template should be used for simple links, or plain links and redirects should be used.

- Template:EOTY/nominee (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

- Template:Current events monthly archive/display (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Module:Current events monthly archive (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Test template subpage with no parent page, created in 2017. Used only in one editor's sandbox pages. Subst and delete, or userfy. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I was originally going to G8 but research found that it's being used by Module:Current events monthly archive being used in the same places. I've added it in the nom. Delete without replacement. Izno (talk) 18:09, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Pfafrich/Axiom (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused in article since this edit. Gonnym (talk) 07:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Alt lists (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused sidebar now that both link direct to the same page. Gonnym (talk) 07:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Template:1961 NCAA College Division independents football records (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:1961 NCAA University Division independents football records (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused templates that are not needed anymore based on this discussion. Gonnym (talk) 07:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Jweiss11 (talk) 13:23, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Var nowiki (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Module:Var nowiki (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused template and module. Performs the same function as {{Call wikitext}} or {{Expand wikitext}}. The manual parameter substitution at Module:Var nowiki#L-9 is never used, making it effectively identical to the two templates above in terms of implementation. – BrandonXLF (talk) 05:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was procedural close. Nomination created in error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Stabbing as a terrorist tactic (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Mass stabbing (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Stabbing as a terrorist tactic with Template:Mass stabbing.
This page is not sufficiently different in substance to require its own page and should instead be a sub-section within the body of Mass stabbing. Iljhgtn (talk) 01:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I did not mean for this to be a template, but rather just to propose a merge of Stabbing as a terrorist tactic into Mass stabbing. I have proprosed AfDs plenty of times, sometimes resulting in a merge, but never proposed it as a merge from the beginning and I wanted to do that here. Iljhgtn (talk) 01:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- See the instructions at {{Merge to}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
