Template:Syrian civil war infobox

• Template:Syrian civil war infobox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template doesn't seem necessary. Syrian civil war is the only article that uses it. Furthermore, moving this template directly to the article would help with eliminating the duplicate references (see tagging on the Syrian civil war article), because a lot of these duplicate references (if not all  – I didn't check them all) are caused by this template being separate from the article. The problem is that the infobox and the article share several of the same sources, and I don't know of a way to use named references when the references are on different pages. I propose copying the template into the article and then deleting the template page, which won't be needed anymore. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 01:59, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Note: I wrapped the deletion template in <noinclude> tags. Was I not supposed to? 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 02:03, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Template:Country data Cabinda

• Template:Country data Cabinda (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template cannot use any parameters from its parent template as Cabinda does not have a provincial flag nor other provincial symbols, alternate names, etc. The flag previously displayed by this template is the flag of a particular separatist group, which is not used universally by Cabinda residents nor even Cabinda separatists. As such, it should be deleted. Yue🌙 01:40, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
