- Template:Uw-hijacking ( talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Already covered by "disruptive editing" so we don't need this poorly worded, almost entirely unused template. There is no "highjacking" policy so this isn't backed by anything really. Beeblebrox ( talk) 22:16, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete agree with nom. Better templates can be used. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 23:56, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. Accusing someone of disruptive editing is often too vague, and if there's a specific warning template to tell them what exactly they did wrong, then that's good. You wouldn't think that people could be stupid or cheeky enough to hijack pages, but they do that all the time, so this isn't really some overly narrow niche either. The template was created three years ago and I can see four uses, all in the last two months, from two different editors (pinging one of them). – Uanfala (talk) 12:59, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Thanks for the ping, Uanfala. I like this template, though I agree the wording could use a little work. It's specific to a surprisingly common issue, much more so than the generic "disruptive editing" warning. GorillaWarfare (talk) 13:59, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- I find it so badly written that deleting and writing a new template fro the ground up for this issue seems preferable. Highjacking is a very loaded term that strongly implies extreme bad faith on the part of the warned user, as opposed to just poor/uninformed editing. So, I'm not saying this isn't a thing, but I don't think this template is at all the correct response and we probably shouldn't be using the term "highjacking" at all. Beeblebrox ( talk) 21:06, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and reword if necessary. I've used it a couple of times (that's actually how I noticed it was up for deletion), and there are other occasions when I would have used it if I had known about the template. PohranicniStraze ( talk) 03:07, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

- Template:Mlix ( talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Module link ( talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging
Template:Mli,
Template:Mlix,
Template:Module link and
Template:Mlx.
{{
mlx}} and {{
mlix}} have the same function, {{
module link}}/{{
ml}} and {{
mlx}} should also have the same function ({{
module link}} shouldn't have the code tags it currently has, as {{
mlx}} is meant for that). We should keep the documentations pages of {{
mlix}} and {{
mli}} as they are more complete but we should keep {{
module link}}/{{
ml}} and {{
mlx}} as the names are shorter and follow similar naming to the {{
tl}} family of templates. I'm also proposing that {{
mlx}} should be replaced with {{#invoke:Module link|link}} and {{
module link}} should be replaced with {{#invoke:Module link|link|code=yes}} to take advantage of
Module:Module link. The module provides several advantages including allowing for an unlimited number to parameters and removing Module: and module: from the input. –

- Support merge but oppose module as module creep: Removing double namespace prefixes seems to me to be out of scope for this template (and besides, {{

- Some good animal rights articles on Wikipedia deserve commendation. Of course, NOTHING REQUIRES commendation and recognition, but good contributions are important. An additional concern on internal processes within Wikipedia may be what appears to widespread 'rogue attacks' against topical content of this sort. I oppose deletion of this Barnstar template. Perhaps artistic improvements for this barnstar could be ssuggested.
