September 5

edit

Template:TUGS-RfC

edit

inactive project/taskforce, could be moved to a subpage of the taskforce or just deleted. Frietjes (talk) 19:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Van Wilder films

edit

Redundant to {{National Lampoon}}. Armbrust The Homunculus 16:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]


edit

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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Delete. (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. Looking at Perth Football Club, Template:WAFL CC 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) 16:17, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:1961 NCAA College Division independents football records

edit

Unused templates that are not needed anymore based on this discussion. Gonnym (talk) 07:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Var nowiki

edit

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)[reply]

The result of the discussion was procedural close. Nomination created in error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
See the instructions at {{Merge to}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
