Another pointless task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events as can be seen by the fact that this banner is used on only 4 articles. All articles are tagged with Wikipedia:WikiProject United States and Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools but if this tag is still wanted, it should use Template:WikiProject Current events.

{{
Current Events task force|tf=Robb Elementary shooting}}
; thus merging all such task force templates together with a switch-case. This also prevents excessive churn on the main banner template, where TFs are continuously created and deactivated, that would be used on admin pages for the project as well as the main current events articles. A tracking redlink category,
Category:Current Events task force "(((tf)))" could be used to track the various pages tagged by a taskforce, and then detransclude the template at the closure of the taskforce by bot. Thus we we wouldn't need to delete ephemeral TF banners, as a generic banner would exist, and would prevent churn on the main project banner, and could be auto-removed. --

Talk page banner that is used only twice. Very misleading as it states the article should follow the Case Law Policy
which is not an en.wiki policy page nor is it even a guideline page so does not even have any community consensus to whatever is written there. Both articles are already tagged with {{
WikiProject Canada|canlaw=yes}}
which is enough.

I'm unclear why this task force exists as all 4 articles it is tagged on are US court issues which means that this can easily be under Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases, Wikipedia:WikiProject United States or Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics. Regardless though, since this project states it is a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events it should use Template:WikiProject Current events with the task force parameter.

Unused banner template but also should not be used as tagging an article with
Template:WikiProject Weather with |class=a
should be enough.

Unused. Pidvolochysk Raion was abolished in 2020. Pages linked in this navbox are using other navigation templates. Gonnym ( talk) 18:17, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

The above are all recently created, unused WikiProject top icon templates. The are a few issues here with this batch. The major one is simply, no one requested or needed them. These projects have existed for years and no one has had any need for them all this time. As I noted on these template's creator's talk page, a template should be created when there is a need for it. Since these are basically a copy/paste creation, there isn't anything special required to (re)create them when they are actually needed. But even if they were needed, can't we in 2023 use a better system then just this horrible n amount of template system? A simple meta template that accepts a |country=
parameter would be enough (the flag data can be obtained from Wikidata or data list). My first option would just be complete deletion as I don't think these are needed by anyone, with my second option being the meta template. --

A simple meta template that accepts a 'country' parameter would be enough: I like this idea. ––– GMH Melbourne ( talk) 13:09, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
|country=
parameter. If this isn't wanted by the end of this discussion, delete it with the others.
