If process guidelines are met, move templates to the appropriate subsection here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a template, ensure that it is not in use on any pages (other than talk pages where eliminating the link would change the meaning of a prior discussion), by checking Special:Whatlinkshere for '(transclusion)'. Consider placing {{Being deleted}} on the template page.

Closing discussions

The closing procedures are outlined at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Administrator instructions.

To review

Templates for which each transclusion requires individual attention and analysis before the template is deleted.

To merge

Templates to be merged into another template.

Tamtam90, you're welcome to start a TFD/merge discussion for that infobox. Primefac (talk) 01:50, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac, I've started it here. --Tamtam90 (talk) 22:53, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tamtam90, you misunderstood my statement; I was saying that if you felt {{infobox anthem}} should be merged into {{infobox musical composition}} that you should start a TFD - as mentioned in the procedural close of the TFD you've started, TFD is not the place to re-litigate previous discussions.

Geography, politics and governance

Religion

This request has been lingering for a year. Neither template is protected. There's no technical issues, just aesthetic ones related to the subject matter. The discussion had only one contributor Chicbyaccident who would seem ideally placed to include the required bits of {{Politics of the Holy See}} into {{Politics of Vatican City}}.

There are a lot of templates that have been sitting here for a while, it's just that no one has gotten to them. It'll get handled eventually. Primefac (talk) 17:09, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think implementing this template in LUA, and detecting the calling redirect will be the easiest way to do this? TheDragonFire (talk) 07:41, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Seems needlessly complicated. The language between the two is almost identical anyway, so even if the "wrong language" is used there will not be a significant difference in meaning. It was something I didn't quite notice when I closed it. Primefac (talk) 13:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Needlessly complicated, and also quite impossible as far as I know. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:40, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of a simple redirect, could {{High-risk}} be changed to just {{High-use|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|high-risk=true}}? --Ahecht (TALK

To convert

Templates for which the consensus is that they ought to be converted to categories, lists or portals are put here until the conversion is completed.

  • None currently

Templates for which the consensus is that all instances should be substituted (i.e. the template should be merged with the article) are put here until the substitutions are completed. After this is done, the template is deleted from template space.

To orphan

These templates are to be deleted, but may still be in use on some pages. Somebody (it doesn't need to be an administrator, anyone can do it) should fix and/or remove significant usages from pages so that the templates can be deleted. Note that simple references to them from Talk: pages should not be removed. Add on bottom and remove from top of list (oldest is on top).

Ready for deletion

Templates for which consensus to delete has been reached, and for which orphaning has been completed, can be listed here for an administrator to delete. Remove from this list when an item has been deleted. If these are to be candidates for speedy deletion, please give a specific reason. See also {{Deleted template}}, an option to delete templates while retaining them for displaying old page revisions.
