Only links four articles (besides the author) together, much better served by strong interarticle linking. 「

Delete. The few relevant articles are prominently linked in
Akira (manga), and this navbox provides little added benefit to navigation. –Black Falcon(

There is no more relevant content that could be added, which is why it's at TFD. There used to be links to individual character articles, but the articles all got merged last October or so, and the links removed. 「

Useless template which strikes of attention-seeking. It's quite obvious that you've un-retired when you begin editing again. –Juliancolton |

Delete per nom as very unnecessary. Anyone who had watchlisted the user page of a retired and now returned user will become aware of said user's return when that user removes {{retired}} from his/her user page, begins editing again, begins receiving and responding to talk page messages, and so on. Anyone who had not watchlisted said user's user page will either not care or will be a passerby with no reason to assume, in the absence of big templates, that said user is or ever was retired. –Black Falcon(

Subst and delete since there is no need to transclude a page that will be used in only one location. However, I wonder whether it would not be more prudent (in the spirit of
Wikipedia:Protecting children's privacy, which is based on the outcome of an ArbCom case) to delete without substing all of this personal information about a minor to his user page. –Black Falcon(
Talk) 22:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Delete -- there is no need to userfy it, since the page creator's user page already has all the info (the template is not used in that page.) --bonadeacontributionstalk 07:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)reply

Orphaned; can't really see any possible use for it. The doc suggests use on "your own User page, or perhaps a subpage or a workshop page". But you would probably not want to take most of the available actions on any page, really. Also, it lists "undelete", which is bizarre.

Keep. It's a specialized tool, for special cases. I rarely use it but when I do, it's what I need. If you never use it, it will never affect you. Please don't throw away tools. —

I suppose I might have mentioned that of course it will always appear to be little or not used. An editor will usually subst it, which leaves no backlink; and when the work is done, delete it altogether.
Black Falcon, you may have missed the pagename feature. This puts the several action commands on another page from the one to which it refers. Note that in the examples given in this template's documentation, the target page is
Wikipedia talk:Sandbox. (This chosen deliberately in the example for obscurity.) —

I have the impression that this template just duplicates the standard editing interface (at the top and left of the editing window) visible to administrators ("post" and "undel" require an extra click to reach). Perhaps I've missed something? –Black Falcon(
Talk) 22:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep per Xiong's explanation (thank you, by the way, for clarifying). I had indeed missed the "pagename" feature and was under the impression that the template produced links only for those pages on which it was transcluded. Although this template is not something that should appear in namespaces intended for readers (e.g. category, article, portal), it could be useful for individual users and perhaps even WikiProjects. –Black Falcon(
Talk) 23:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep. No you have not missed anything. This template is a duplicate of the standard editing interface. I believe that the only purpose of this template is for convenience: users who spend most of their time editing one page could put it on their userpage, then just go to their userpage and click the correct link to do the action for that page [i.e. they would put it on their userpage just to save a few clicks when going to take action on that one page :-)]. I would have said Delete but if this template could be useful for somebody then it should be kept. [|
