Music City Star templates

No remaining transclusions; replaced by {{Adjacent stations}} and Module:Adjacent stations/Music City Star. Mackensen (talk) 20:15, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not everything needs a navbox; three articles (including the main article) and a deleted category are insufficient for this to provide any use to readers. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:47, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Old orphaned metatemplate that was never used (see [1] in six years since its creation. Nowak Kowalski (talk) 15:13, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware that they were kept in 2013 but there is still no point keeping basketball squad templates for the men's basketball squads. They can be substed if desired. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:07, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Module:Cslist with Module:List.
Modules sharing exact same function, except Module:List has more features. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 04:52, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support sounds like a sensible merge. --RexxS (talk) 12:32, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
On closer inspection it turns out that Module:List doesn't share exactly the same function in two ways: (1) it uses a hard-coded div to enclose the list, which causes problems with inline display; and (2) it uses inline CSS to style the lists, rather than using the much preferable WP:TemplateStyles. Unless the intention is to upgrade these features of Module:List at the time of the merger, it doesn't seem sensible to me to downgrade the functionality of Template:Cslist in an attempt to jam together two disparate modules. Here are the illustrations:
  • {{cslist | first item | second item | third item | etc}}
    • first item
    • second item
    • third item
    • etc
  • {{#invoke:List |horizontal | first item | second item | third item | etc}}
    • first item
    • second item
    • third item
    • etc
  • {{#invoke:List |horizontal |style="display:inline-block;" | first item | second item | third item | etc}}
    • first item
    • second item
    • third item
    • etc
Therefore Oppose for now. It would be nice to have modules that perform multiple functions, but not at the expense of losing functionality. --RexxS (talk) 13:28, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • This seems ripe for a merger in which the product conforms to the result described by RexxS. I don't have the technical knowledge to edit modules, but perhaps someone else who does can assist here? --Bsherr (talk) 02:13, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-medaling United States FIBA World Championship squads

Per WP:TCREEP, as teams that did not earn a medal do not need the Wikipedia equivalent of a participation award. There is also prior consensus to delete these at discussions such as Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_December_29#Template:Slovenia_Squad_2010_FIBA_World_Championship. —Bagumba (talk) 07:53, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
