Proposed deletion |
On this page, the deletion or merging of templates and modules, except as noted below, is discussed.
The majority of deletion and merger proposals concerning pages in the template namespace and module namespace should be listed on this page. However, there are a few exceptions:
Templates should not be nominated if the issue can be fixed by normal editing. Instead, you should edit the template to fix its problems. If the template is complex and you don't know how to fix it, WikiProject Templates may be able to help.
Templates for which none of these apply may be deleted by consensus here. If a template is being misused, consider clarifying its documentation to indicate the correct use, or informing those that misuse it, rather than nominating it for deletion. Initiate a discussion on the template talk page if the correct use itself is under debate.
To list a template for deletion or merging, follow this three-step process. The use of Twinkle (explained below) is strongly recommended, as it automates and simplifies these steps. Note that the "Template:" prefix should not be included anywhere when carrying out these steps (unless otherwise specified).
Step | Instructions |
---|---|
I: Tag the template. | Add one of the following codes to the top of the template page:
Note:
Multiple templates: If you are nominating multiple related templates, choose a meaningful title for the discussion (like "
American films by decade templates"). Tag every template with Related categories: If including template-populated tracking categories in the TfD nomination, add TemplateStyles pages: The above templates will not work on TemplateStyles pages. Instead, add a CSS comment to the top of the page:
|
II: List the template at TfD. | Follow
this link to edit today's TfD log.
Add this text to the top of the list:
If the template has had previous TfDs, you can add Use an edit summary such as Multiple templates: If this is a deletion proposal involving multiple templates, use the following: {{
subst:Tfd2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be deleted. ~~~~}} You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters If this is a merger proposal involving more than two templates, use the following: {{
subst:Tfm2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|with=main template (optional)|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be merged. ~~~~}} You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters Related categories: If this is a deletion proposal involving a template and a category populated solely by templates, add this code in the {{
subst:Catfd2|category name}} |
III: Notify users. | Please notify the creator of the template nominated (as well as the creator of the target template, if proposing a merger). It is helpful to also notify the main contributors of the template that you are nominating. To find them, look in the
page history or
talk page of the template. Then, add one of the following:
to the talk pages of the template creator (and the creator of the other template for a merger) and the talk pages of the main contributors. It is also helpful to make any interested WikiProjects aware of the discussion. To do that, make sure the template's talk page is tagged with the banners of any relevant WikiProjects; please consider notifying any of them that do not use Article alerts. Multiple templates: There is no template for notifying an editor about a multiple-template nomination: please write a personal message in these cases. |
Consider adding any templates you nominate for TfD to your watchlist. This will help ensure that the TfD tag is not removed.
While it is sufficient to list a template for discussion at TfD (see above), nominators and others sometimes want to attract more attention from and participation by informed editors. All such efforts must comply with Wikipedia's guideline against biased canvassing.
To encourage participation by less experienced editors, please avoid Wikipedia-specific abbreviations in the messages you leave about the discussion, link to any relevant policies or guidelines, and link to the TfD discussion page itself. If you are recommending that a template be speedily deleted, please give the criterion that it meets.
WikiProjects are groups of editors that are interested in a particular subject or type of editing. If the article is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, they may welcome a brief, neutral note on their project's talk page(s) about the TfD. You can use {{
Tfd notice}}
for this.
Tagging the nominated template's talk page with a relevant Wikiproject's banner will result in the template being listed in that project's Article Alerts automatically, if they subscribe to the system. For instance, tagging a template with {{ WikiProject Physics}} will list the discussion in Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Article alerts.
While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the template and its talkpage that you are nominating for discussion. To find the creator and main contributors, look in the page history or talk page.
At this point, you've done all you need to do as nominator. Sometime after seven days have passed, someone else will either close the discussion or, where needed, " relist" it for another seven days of discussion. (That "someone" may not be you, the nominator.)
Once you have submitted a template here, no further action is necessary on your part. If the nomination is successful it will be added to the Holding Cell until the change is implemented. There is no requirement for nominators to be part of the implementation process, but they are allowed to if they so wish.
Also, consider adding any templates you nominate to your watchlist. This will help ensure that your nomination tag is not mistakenly or deliberately removed.
Twinkle is a convenient tool that can perform many of the posting and notification functions automatically, with fewer errors and missed steps than manual editing. Twinkle does not notify WikiProjects, although many of them have automatic alerts. It is helpful to notify any interested WikiProjects that don't receive alerts, but this has to be done manually.
Anyone can join the discussion, but please understand the deletion policy and explain your reasoning.
People will sometimes also recommend subst or subst and delete and similar. This means the template text should be "merged" into the articles that use it. Depending on the content, the template page may then be deleted; if preserving the edit history for attribution is desirable, it may be history-merged with the target article or moved to mainspace and redirected.
Templates are rarely orphaned—that is, removed from pages that transclude them—before the discussion is closed. A list of open discussions eligible for closure can be found at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Old unclosed discussions.
Administrators should read the closing instructions before closing a nomination. Note that WP:XFDcloser semi-automates this process and ensures all of the appropriate steps are taken.

This template started as being one for suburbs for Hornsby Shire but somehow expanded to include "Suburbs within Hornsby Shire, North Shore, Northern Suburbs, Hills District, Sydney". This is a rather random combination. It also omits North Shore suburbs like Chatswood, Killara. Suggest deletion of template or scoping back to Hornsby Shire suburbs only.

It is assumed that some scholars of Bengal and Mithila fled to Nepal and also to Tibet when the Turkic soldiers invaded Bengal in the 12th century A.D. The major poets or Siddhacharyas of Charyapada were Luipada, Chatillapada, Bhusukupada, and Kanhapada. All of them wrote in highly allegorical language while using riddling and often confusing terms infusing numerous religious symbologies and mysticism. Since the language of these hymns can only be moderately understood, it is called Sandhya Bhasha or the twilight language. The Charyapada hymns have been critically appreciated for their linguistic and literary values. [2] Bengali editor ( talk)
The Parishat also boasts a proud list of great publications, particularly those concerning old and middle Bengali literature. The Charyapadas, which carry the first samples of the earliest Bengali, is one such publication (1916). It was edited as Hajar Bachharer Puratan Bangala Bashay Bouddhagan O Doha by Haraprasad Shastri, who had discovered it in 1907 at the library of Nepal's Prime Minister. Another example is Shrikrishnakirtan, collected (1909) and edited (1916) by Basanta Ranjan Bidvatballabh.Bengali editor ( talk) 01:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping.

Appears to be a recreation of
Template:Reported to AIV, which was also deleted
with consensus. I'll quote myself: Is there really a purpose to notifying vandals that they're on
WP:AIV? The whole purpose of AIV is for blatantly-obvious vandals that we want to
revert, block, ignore, not introduce them to AIV. The reason why you need to notify users when they're reported to
WP:ANI is because ANI is not for obvious vandalism, but for situations that require discussion. Vandalism does not require discussion to resolve: blatant vandalism is reverted, and the users blocked when they continue. What's the purpose of this template, aside from potentially feeding the trolls by giving them attention that they desire? (I have similar issues with users using 4im warnings after reporting vandals to AIV; this is unnecessary: just report the user to AIV and then move on)

During the course of this TFD there was a majority opinion that this template is potentially too large and should be split (not only for size reasons but to avoid duplication with templates such as {{ Signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence}}). This is a procedural nomination to see if there is a formal consensus to do so. Primefac ( talk) 12:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
border
parameters controlled with something like: |border={{{border}}}
and then {{

in much the same way it already calls each section {{
#invoke:navbox|navbox|child|...}}} but convert each to {{NavboxTemplateName|border=subgroup}}
. The only real difference would be more V • T • E navbar links (unless |navbar=plain
is used) and smaller lists of things to maintain on each subnavbox. —

Administrators should read the closing instructions before closing a nomination. Note that WP:XFDcloser semi-automates this process and ensures all of the appropriate steps are taken.

This template started as being one for suburbs for Hornsby Shire but somehow expanded to include "Suburbs within Hornsby Shire, North Shore, Northern Suburbs, Hills District, Sydney". This is a rather random combination. It also omits North Shore suburbs like Chatswood, Killara. Suggest deletion of template or scoping back to Hornsby Shire suburbs only.

The template is not used, nor directly or by template substitution, and has no likelihood of being used. Most of the links seem unrelated to the topic. '''[[

It is assumed that some scholars of Bengal and Mithila fled to Nepal and also to Tibet when the Turkic soldiers invaded Bengal in the 12th century A.D. The major poets or Siddhacharyas of Charyapada were Luipada, Chatillapada, Bhusukupada, and Kanhapada. All of them wrote in highly allegorical language while using riddling and often confusing terms infusing numerous religious symbologies and mysticism. Since the language of these hymns can only be moderately understood, it is called Sandhya Bhasha or the twilight language. The Charyapada hymns have been critically appreciated for their linguistic and literary values. [2] Bengali editor ( talk)
The Parishat also boasts a proud list of great publications, particularly those concerning old and middle Bengali literature. The Charyapadas, which carry the first samples of the earliest Bengali, is one such publication (1916). It was edited as Hajar Bachharer Puratan Bangala Bashay Bouddhagan O Doha by Haraprasad Shastri, who had discovered it in 1907 at the library of Nepal's Prime Minister. Another example is Shrikrishnakirtan, collected (1909) and edited (1916) by Basanta Ranjan Bidvatballabh.Bengali editor ( talk) 01:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

This navbox is not necessary IMO, as it essentially serves the purpose of a category. We already have a category and a page for animal actors, so we don't also need a navbox. Di (they-them) ( talk) 00:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping. Instead, each method of organizing information has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is applied for the most part independently of the other methods.-- wooden superman 08:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Appears to be a recreation of
Template:Reported to AIV, which was also deleted
with consensus. I'll quote myself: Is there really a purpose to notifying vandals that they're on
WP:AIV? The whole purpose of AIV is for blatantly-obvious vandals that we want to
revert, block, ignore, not introduce them to AIV. The reason why you need to notify users when they're reported to
WP:ANI is because ANI is not for obvious vandalism, but for situations that require discussion. Vandalism does not require discussion to resolve: blatant vandalism is reverted, and the users blocked when they continue. What's the purpose of this template, aside from potentially feeding the trolls by giving them attention that they desire? (I have similar issues with users using 4im warnings after reporting vandals to AIV; this is unnecessary: just report the user to AIV and then move on)

During the course of this TFD there was a majority opinion that this template is potentially too large and should be split (not only for size reasons but to avoid duplication with templates such as {{ Signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence}}). This is a procedural nomination to see if there is a formal consensus to do so. Primefac ( talk) 12:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
border
parameters controlled with something like: |border={{{border}}}
and then {{
Historical American Documents}} can just call them each with |border=subgroup
in much the same way it already calls each section {{
#invoke:navbox|navbox|child|...}}} but convert each to {{NavboxTemplateName|border=subgroup}}
. The only real difference would be more V • T • E navbar links (unless |navbar=plain
is used) and smaller lists of things to maintain on each subnavbox. —
