Highways Template‑class | |||||||

In looking at this announcements template today, I noticed the full version of the template includes 35 sub-templates for various state subprojects and task forces, with two more for the old Interstate and U.S. Routes projects. Examining the edit history of each, I found that only 9 of these sub-templates have had any meaningful, non-bot edits since the end of 2007. Of the 9 that have been edited, Maryland's is the only one that seems to have had any meaningful and semi-regular edits in 2009. With these sub-templates being edited so infrequently, there is obviously no meaningful announcement information being given in them--although some show article completion percentages in them, which could just as easily be maintained on the subproject/task force page. There appears to be only one user transcluding the full version on their user page as well.
I guess I'm asserting that the full version of this template is no longer necessary. It, and the assorted sub-templates, can probably be nominated for deletion. If there's any state-level project using a sub-template on it's project page for news purposes, those templates could be retained. Thoughts? -- LJ ( talk) 01:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
