November 30

edit

Template:Template for rename

edit

I don't see prospective use for this entrypoint because WP:TFD specifically is only for deletions and merges, not renames, which should be carried out with {{requested move}}. Thus it is not helpful to have this template here. Awesome Aasim 19:21, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2025 Kolkata Knight Riders squad

edit

Squad list is featured on the main article as part of the article. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:23, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Timeline of Arizona history navbar

edit

No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links. This single-article TOC template was used until its article was merged as redundant. It is no longer useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Roman glyph

edit

No transclusions or incoming links. Created in 2014. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Orbada version

edit

No transclusions. This is a software version template for an article that was deleted and for software that was removed from the list page. It is no longer useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:List of Ironman Heavymetalweight Champions/intro

edit

This is unused article content that appears to be usable only on List of Ironman Heavymetalweight Champions (2000–2009). – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:44, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this category tracking template is no longer useful after this merge of {{puffery}} into {{promotional}}, per this TFD. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:31, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Washington Commanders

edit

Propose merging Template:WikiProject Washington Commanders with Template:WikiProject National Football League.
Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Washington Commanders subproject is a subproject of WP:WikiProject National Football League so the subproject should be added the parent template and usages replaced. Gonnym (talk) 10:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Major Special Characters

edit

Unused duplicate of {{contains special characters}}. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i was literally just about to put it on a page Washweans (talk) 02:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which page? And why can't the preexisting template be used instead? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:54, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
dont give me that sass. the preexisting one makes it seem sometimes that "oh ok yeah just like a few characters" it's not an actual warning. Washweans (talk) 03:01, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Washweans perhaps you could propose a change on the old templates talk page rather than making an entirely new template. Also Delete per nominator and for reasons already discussed on Washwean's talk page. Gaismagorm (talk) 03:09, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – we don't need a different template to tell readers that there are "extreme amounts of special characters". It's an informative message, not a warning, and the information we need to convey doesn't depend on how many special characters are used. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:40, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The two templates are not the same. {{Contains special characters}} is for characters that need font support, while this is just a "this article uses a lot of non-English characters". So what? What issue does that identify? Gonnym (talk) 10:12, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Deprecated stub

edit

No transclusions. There is limited discussion linking to this template, most of which is from 2010, when it was created. I don't know if it was ever used, or just transcluded in one place until recently, when it showed up on the unused template reports.

It may be redundant to {{Deprecated template}}.

If it is used only sometimes, it should have {{transclusionless}} added to its documentation, with an explanation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's not entirely redundant to {{Deprecated template}}. It's always substituted rather than transcluded, and is only used rarely. Not sure how many stub templates it currently (or ever) been used on, but deprecated stub templates are usually cleared quickly and either deleted or redirected. Don't think losing it will cause much problem. Originally it was made because a few parent stub types were regularly sorted out (e.g., {{geo-stub}} to all its by-country children), and someone who didn't know how stubbinng worked would nominate the emptied template for deletion. I think there are other templates that will stop that happening though. Grutness...wha? 04:53, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not sure there is even reason to merge anything if the usage is so low. It's also not setup as a subst only template so I don't think that statement is correct. Gonnym (talk) 10:13, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Egyptian royal family

edit

Page contains less than five people, all of whom are closely related and would already be linked together, limiting its usefulness. 2601:249:9301:D570:9061:13F5:EDBD:C800 (talk) 23:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to a bottom navigation template, which takes less visible space. Remove non-links. This has enough links for a viable navigation template. Gonnym (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CURRENTCENTURY

edit

This could easily be manually updated by hand since centuries only change every 100 years, and I don't even think Wikipedia will last that long. If it somehow does the current century can easily be changed. TheWikipedetalk 16:57, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep – it seems marginally more useful than {{CURRENTMILLENNIUM}} (which was deleted three years ago), since there's a nonzero chance that Wikipedia templates will still be around in some form in 75 years. As Jonesey said, it's also more self-documenting. As for "manually updating by hand", @MouseCursor:
  • Are you proposing to just edit the template to hard-code the current century? Then TfD isn't really the place to propose that. Start a discussion on its talk page, or be bold.
  • Are you proposing to subst and delete the template? Then it couldn't easily be changed anymore!

Keep per Jonesey95 & no reason to make it harder to update the century. Just set it and forget it.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  11:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
