This template duplicates information found at Template:1904 Fitzroy premiership players and Template:1905 Fitzroy premiership players. Having a sub-list like this should be in an article and not in navbox. Gonnym (talk) 08:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and replace with those two templates. I created the "dual premiership" templates many years ago to avoid too much clutter, but it's now not uncommon for a player to have as many as 10 navboxes, so it doesn't really matter. Jevansen (talk)

Just a single link in this template links to an existing article, and that article is about a non-resident mission. Other links are to redirects. It is unhelpful for navigation and serves no purpose AusLondonder (talk) 08:17, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Compact TOC. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 13:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2016 April 25#Template:Table of contents where an identical template was deleted. In short, this is redundant to simply adding __TOC__ and should be substituted and deleted.

Beyond that TfD, there are other reasons to substitute and delete this template. {{TOC}} exists and points to the separate {{Compact TOC}}. Given that {{ToC}} is barely function these days – it has zero effect on Vector 2022, the default skin – this title is better used as a redirect to the Vector 2022-compatible {{Compact TOC}} as a {{R avoiding double redirect|Template:TOC}}.

Keep We want to discourage using magic like __TOC__. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 11:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Delete - I disagree with the argument that using __TOC__ is to be discouraged, because:
  • Unless I'm missing something, there isn't an equivalent for __NOTOC__ (i.e. {{NoToC}} is a red link). If editors get used to using the template form, they still need to understand the magic behaviour switches for the opposite effect.
  • The template is not cross wiki but the magic behaviour switch is. As such, this will be confusing for editors who may try to use the template on another wiki. The magic behaviour switch does not have this problem.
This also similarly applies to the other behaviour switches listed at Help:Magic words § Behavior switches. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 21:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is one of the most useful templates to allow navigation in categories. Dimadick (talk) 22:59, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the same target as {{TOC}} based on the above keep statement: this template shows a Table of Contents for a page, not for categories. As it is easily confused with {{TOC}} and doesn't do anything except mimic the magic word, it should not exist as a separate template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:02, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dimadick: I think you are confusing this with {{TOC}} (which has a capital O and is a redirect to {{compact TOC}}). This template is not used in the category namespace. Do you agree with redirecting this template to {{Compact TOC}}? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Dimadick (talk) 16:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
