May 25

[edit]

Template:CC BY 2.0 UK

[edit]

Delete. Not used. If someone wishes to use an obsolete license for a particular reason, Commons is thataway and has its own c:Template:Cc-by-2.0-uk. We really shouldn't be encouraging the use of out-of-date licenses any more than necessary. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:39, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Evolution of Versant Media

[edit]

Unused sidebar with no links to main topic. Mainly just text. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:52, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Wynne and Rae are unused and Doug Ford is only used only one page. Quick links for articles for people should not be used in my view when each nominated has a either a navbox, sidebar, or category for them. And all links in each three are already linked on their articles. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:50, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose There's no policy being cited here. All of these templates are small, and keeping them up won't do any harm.

Doug Ford is single-use and used only a disambiguation page. A template just to transclude a link to two articles is not a good use of template space when directly linking those articles is sufficient. What is the point of a quick links template for people when there isn't a need for it? And if you no intention of using the two that are unused or can't be found to be used, then there is no need keep as is template space. WP:TFD makes it clear, "The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used."

Template:Animation studios by country

[edit]

A massive unused navbox which intends to list every animation studio in each country. We have plenty of navboxes for animation studios already which can be found at Category:Animation studios navigational boxes. We don't need a giant navbox listing all of them as it would be hard to navigate.

Perhaps breaking it by specific countries may be the alternative. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:27, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Former Super Rugby franchises map

[edit]

Unused map. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Hundred (women's) competition results summary

[edit]

Unused and only edit has been creation. Displays error code. If creator intends to work on it, userfication can be granted. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:People's Majlis sidebar

[edit]

Contains only one link about the Parliament of the Maldives outside the main article, the article on the Speaker of Parliament. Every other article is covered by other sidebars or navboxes, i.e. elections for parliament and political parties in the country. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:08, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Nepalese province emblems

[edit]

Nothing but red links. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:01, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Demotivator

[edit]

No transclusions. Created in March 2025. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:42, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep nomination rationale no longer the case, plus this is totally harmless. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:01, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and move to userspace if they want. These kind of fluff templates are actually harmful as they don't confirm to accessibility guidelines. The colors there can (and will) easily fail contrast for almost zero benefit. Gonnym (talk) 20:03, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym: I do not even remotely understand this claim. What in the world contrast standard could conceivably claim that pure white on pure black is an accessibility failure? jp×g🗯️ 03:18, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I checked all the colors. All of the ones this template generates by default -- #FFFFFF #AAFFFF #FFAAFF #FFFFAA #CCCCFF #FFCCCC #CCFFCC -- have extremely high passing scores on every standard I could find. What are you referring to? jp×g🗯️ 03:23, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym: You have made no response here, so I will call your attention here again: the claim you've made here is objectively false. I would prefer you strike it. jp×g🗯️ 18:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CompUnits

[edit]

No transclusions. No incoming links to explain why it was created. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:03, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I've restored at least one usage as it was intended for after someone apparently violated MOS:COMPUNITS and edited NTFS (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to include units that aren't allowed by the MOS. The template is designed to provide a consistent way to include a footnote in articles where such units may be ambiguous. —Locke Cole • t • c 20:46, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Creates confusion. --Zac67 (talk) 08:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    per nom, the nominator brought it here because it was not in use at the time of nomination. It is now in use, so your Delete is now on the basis of...? Creates confusion. It does the opposite by providing a clean footnote to show readers what the unit values mean in use in an article. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Locke Cole: A single active use of the template doesn't heal the problem. The template causes confusion as it does not clarify that the meaning of k/K, M, G etc depends on context. --Zac67 (talk) 11:51, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The template causes confusion as it does not clarify that the meaning of k/K, M, G etc depends on context. It is used to indicate what the values for the units are within an entire article, hence why it is used in a footnote. A single active use of the template doesn't heal the problem. So you agree, it should be used in more articles. Are you volunteering to help? —Locke Cole • t • c 14:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Where necessary a handmade note is sufficient. Izno (talk) 22:50, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I do think there’s something to be said for being consistent in how we present these units… —Locke Cole • t • c 01:21, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into {{convert}} which seems to be missing comp-mem-units? Then the presentation can be the standard CONVERT presentation; and conversions could be done with non-"1" values -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 17:49, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
