The result of the discussion was no consensus. Looks like there may be some consensus to change the output format or restrict it to non-articles, but no consensus to delete entirely. Feel free to continue the discussion on the template's talk page! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC) reply

This template is insufficiently complex to need its own template. It's also hard to access from the browser bar. Lastly, the last TFD's opinions look quite unpersuasive from a today's point of view. Izno ( talk) 07:46, 8 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Modify so that it makes use of ?, facilitating the use of escaped question marks. —  Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs)  03:50, 23 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Subst and delete - I realise I'm taking a contrarian position here, but I cannot see any reason to have this. Invoking the template ({{?}}) is 5 characters, and the inserted text ('''''?''''') is 11 characters. Do we need a template to 'save' six characters? You can click the "bold" and "italic" options in the editor to do this in two clicks anyway, if you're worried about aligning the number of quote marks on each side. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 16:40, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • keep - the road to deletion is to first get rid of the use of the template by substituting it with a better one (named "unknown" or something) - once there are almost zero uses of the template then come back and I'll happily vote delete. N.B. the value of the template is not the content, it's the fact that it gives a clear place to find unknown values in tables and then start doing research to fix them.

    Just as an administrative note, this is absolutely not the way to proceed for a nomination; the discussion comes first, and then the outcome is decided. Substing a template with the intention of saying "it's no longer used" is disruptive and has caused some TFDs to swing the other direction. Primefac ( talk) 01:39, 28 February 2021 (UTC) reply
