Unused timeline. Gonnym (talk) 08:37, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say subst, since single use now. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Izno (talk) 17:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All links link to same page, no scope for individual pages, and thus no scope for nav template. SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 16:27, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sports roster for a non-current team roster. Only used in one article. Having a roster for every version of a every sports template will lead to navigation bloat and so roster teams should be limited to only the current one. Gonnym (talk) 08:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Single use simple table. Subst to article and delete template. Gonnym (talk) 08:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I plan to add this table to an article about Auckland Transport's fleet. This means that the template would be used on multiple pages. Is this a valid reason not to delete it? --Кайл55 (talk) 11:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you plan to add them now and not in an unknown time in the future, then fine (the template was created a year and a half ago). Gonnym (talk) 18:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This edit notices does not seem to be used in the article (I can't see it). Gonnym (talk) 08:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template duplicates information found at Template:1904 Fitzroy premiership players and Template:1905 Fitzroy premiership players. Having a sub-list like this should be in an article and not in navbox. Gonnym (talk) 08:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and replace with those two templates. I created the "dual premiership" templates many years ago to avoid too much clutter, but it's now not uncommon for a player to have as many as 10 navboxes, so it doesn't really matter. Jevansen (talk)

This template duplicates information found at Template:1898 Fitzroy premiership players and Template:1899 Fitzroy premiership players. Having a sub-list like this should be in an article and not in navbox. Gonnym (talk) 08:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and replace with those two templates. Jevansen (talk)

Unused as content was merged into Template:Glasgow–Dundee line. Gonnym (talk) 08:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navigation template with one redirect link. Gonnym (talk) 08:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete per nom. non-navigation is non-helpful. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:57, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navbox with 2 blue links and a sea of red links. Gonnym (talk) 08:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused handball match template. Gonnym (talk) 08:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot about this template, but it is needed. Currently {{volleyballbox}} is used (See e.g. 2022 Men's Beach Handball World Championships). {{volleyballbox}} is probably used because like in volleyball, beach handball uses a set system contrary to standard handball and why {{handballbox}} can't be used. However, {tl|volleyballbox}} is also not suitable since you can't indicate penaties received by each time and the topscorer of each team, as is common for handball matches.
Looking at the first match on the page 2022 Men's Beach Handball World Championships, this would be appropriate:
21 June 2022
11:30
Argentina   1–2   United States Court 3, Heraklion
Attendance: 250
Referees: Luciano Cardone, Sebatiano Manuele (ITA)
Nahuel Pérez 14 (23–22, 16–18, 6–7) Cody Dominik, Jason Borchik 14
2×PF Report 2×PF
Ergo, the template is needed, I just need to start converting {{volleyballbox}} into {{beachhandballbox}} on beach handball pages. --Sb008 (talk) 11:49, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused WikiProject related template. Probably has been replaced with other templates. Gonnym (talk) 08:22, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navigation template with all red links. Gonnym (talk) 08:21, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused sports rooster for a non-current roster. Gonnym (talk) 08:20, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a single link in this template links to an existing article, and that article is about a non-resident mission. Other links are to redirects. It is unhelpful for navigation and serves no purpose AusLondonder (talk) 08:17, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2016 April 25#Template:Table of contents where an identical template was deleted. In short, this is redundant to simply adding __TOC__ and should be substituted and deleted.

Beyond that TfD, there are other reasons to substitute and delete this template. {{TOC}} exists and points to the separate {{Compact TOC}}. Given that {{ToC}} is barely function these days – it has zero effect on Vector 2022, the default skin – this title is better used as a redirect to the Vector 2022-compatible {{Compact TOC}} as a {{R avoiding double redirect|Template:TOC}}.

Keep We want to discourage using magic like __TOC__. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 11:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Nav box only has 2 blue links (for English WP), one of which is up for deletion. LibStar (talk) 00:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
