Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 July 6

Propose merging Template:Undated with Template:Unsigned.
Currently, {{subst:unsigned}} throws an error if given only a date. We can modify this behavior to output an "undated" message if no username is detected in the input. This will allow {{subst:undated}} to take advantage of the expanded functionality of {{subst:unsigned}} Module:Unsigned, including the automatic conversion of dates to the standard talk page format. I think this is my last merger proposal for {{Unsigned}}. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 20:09, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting to think we're trying to make {{unsigned}} a bit too smart. Everything is in Module:Unsigned anyway, there's no particular reason that {{undated}} couldn't use the module by calling an entry point for just the date formatting part. Anomie ⚔ 12:27, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be alright with that. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 14:23, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping this template, but switching it to use Module:Unsigned to improve date formatting sounds like a good approach. 👍 --Yodin^T 16:50, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Regeneron Science Talent Search

Template:Regeneron Science Talent Search (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Very recently created template with the names of prior winners of the Regeneron Science Talent Search, a prize for high school students who do a science project. The prize is notable, but I am very dubious about the merit of this template. My count indicates that it has the names of 99 winners, of which only 21 currently have Wikipedia pages. This suggests that many of the prior winners either did or would fail WP:BLP1E (or WP:BIO1E). To me the fact that most of the names here are redlinked certainly raises the question of whether this template should exist. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:20, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest cutting the content to notable Regeneron Science Talent Search Winners containing only those winners with Wikipedia pages as de facto evidence of notability. Johnjbarton (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am starting to work on drafts for those who are notable in my sandboxes. Those who are not notable can be unlinked. Would this work? User01938 (talk) 18:03, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understand it, the purpose of this kind of template is to facilitate navigation from one notable winner to another one. Non-notable names in the template have no purpose. Readers interested in all of the winners can consult the page Regeneron Science Talent Search. Johnjbarton (talk) 18:10, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cup of Joe

Template:Cup of Joe (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox for a band that appears to have articles for just one single and one album. There are not enough articles to justify this navbox yet. No prejudice to recreation when there are more articles about notable singles and albums from this band. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:23, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The template has been expanded with the addition of Silakbo, Tingin, and Misteryoso. I'm confident this expansion will continue considering that Cup of Joe is rising in popularity in the Philippine music. AstrooKai (Talk) 15:09, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dontsign

Template:Dontsign (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{uw-articlesig}}. Created in 2006 and doesn't appear to have been used since 2011. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:5AF:9096:9EC1:275E (talk) 16:59, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that I'd say that it's redundant - it's much more personal and friendly and chatty. Clearly an actual person instead of boilerplate, which is important for dealing with newbies. But you're right, I haven't really used it since 2011. DS (talk) 17:08, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hum Awards

Template:Hum Awards (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

With the exception of the years the ceremony was held, the links are redirects to the main Hum Awards page. All categories redirect there as well as the retired awards and special awards. The ceremony years are already listed with links on the main Hum Awards page so template seems useless. CNMall41 (talk) 08:14, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It seems all the articles were redirected a couple of months ago. I'm inclined to say keep for this one, but leave it for just the ceremonies, removing all the duplicate redirects. --wooden superman 12:17, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Navbox with no transclusions, no main article, and no links to relevant articles in the body. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:51, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:OMX Iceland 6 companies

Template:OMX Iceland 6 companies (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions. The OMX Iceland 6 index was apparently changed to the OMX Iceland 8, then to OMX Iceland 10, then to OMX Iceland 15. We now have the navbox {{OMXI15}}, which appears to do the job of this unused navbox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Grooming gangs

Template:Grooming gangs (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused sidebar that appears to be redundant to {{Child sexual abuse in the United Kingdom}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:40, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Caribbean Broadcasting Network

Template:Caribbean Broadcasting Network (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox with no transclusions. The main article was turned into a redirect after an AFD. The linked articles in the body appear to be covered by the more comprehensive {{USVI TV}} and {{Other US Territories Stations}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:39, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Archdeacons of Killala and Achonry

Template:Archdeacons of Killala and Achonry (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox with just one link (it had two, but one article was deleted) and no transclusions. Not useful for navigation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:33, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Crossrail 2 navbox

Template:Crossrail 2 navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Little point in having any navbox, let alone such a complex one, for a route that is proposed but is in no way currently being considered and is unlikely to be considered in the near future. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:14, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
