Speedy deletion |
Proposed deletion |
This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared. |
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

- Would it be possible for a bot to convert the transclusions of these templates to Module:Sports table? S.A. Julio (talk) 23:50, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
- Should be doable, yes. Primefac (talk) 00:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- I could probably do something while I am converting all the
{{Fb team}}
templates. But, I will have to see how complicated the code is. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:36, 29 April 2018 (UTC)- @Plastikspork and Primefac: Can your bots using Module:Sports table instead in this case, such as [1]? Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 04:14, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hhhhhkohhhhh, sure. That particular template only had one use, and that use was in userspace, and the title of the page was "concept", so I didn't bother to fully convert it. But in general, the plan is to convert the various table/cl header/cl footer/cl team templates to use sports table. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 12:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

To merge
Templates to be merged into another template.
Arts
- RFC on 7 March 2017 – merge {{infobox single}} and {{infobox song}}. Discussion at Template talk:Infobox song#Beginning merger proceedings with "infobox single".
- Primefac, I wonder why you define more than 16 parameters (or > 50% of their number) as "a (relatively) small number". In the existing transclusions, first of all, these separate / new parameters are used. Why don't we merge or delete {{Infobox anthem}} which has definitely fewer than 50% "disparate parameters" with {{Infobox musical composition}}? Whether ca. 50 transclusions for one month (after the creation of the first template) are "insufficient to prevent a merger" and ca. 500 transclusions for 10 years (after the creation of the second template) are sufficient? --Tamtam90 (talk) 22:37, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Tamtam90, you're welcome to start a TFD/merge discussion for that infobox. Primefac (talk) 01:50, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Primefac, I've started it here. --Tamtam90 (talk) 22:53, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- 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.

- 2017 May 10 – Audiosample ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases ) merge with {{Extra music sample}}
- Jc86035, I notice you've moved this template and have done some work - why the duplication with (now) {{audio sample}}, and how is the progress coming in finishing this merge? Primefac (talk) 18:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Primefac: Would have been done sooner, but I was planning to substitute all the other templates in the group along with these two in one go ({{Infobox single}}, {{Infobox album}}, {{Extra chronology}} and so on). This is stalled because subtemplate nesting errors (415) and formatting errors (7,240), which have to be fixed first, could not all be automatically fixed with AWB, due to limits in my regex writing, the obscene amount of variation in formatting errors, people not filling in all the data, and the lack of graceful fallback to not showing dates for chronologies due to the Lua regexes being written with parser functions instead of Scribunto (I don't know why I did this but it's not worth fixing at this point because the categories will take forever to repopulate). I am unable to write Python so pywikibot is out of the question unless someone else does the rest of the fixes. Possibly superfluous descriptions (438) in the audio sample templates also need to be gone through but I never got around to it. Jc86035 (talk) 03:21, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

- 2017 November 26 – Infobox_Chinese-language_singer_and_actor ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases ) merge Template:Infobox Chinese-language singer and actor into Template:Infobox person (transition to Template:Infobox musical artist as needed)

Religion
- 2017 March 5 – Infobox Christian church body ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases ) - merge with {{Infobox Christian denomination}}. Final name for the merged template should be discussed.
- 2017 March 28 – Infobox Hindu temple ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases ) - merge with {{Infobox religious building}}
- 2017 May 5 – Politics of the Holy See ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases ) - merge with {{Politics of Vatican City}}
- 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}}.

- 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)
- 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)
- Needlessly complicated, and also quite impossible as far as I know. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:40, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- Instead of a simple redirect, could {{High-risk}} be changed to just
{{High-use|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|high-risk=true}}

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
To substitute
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.
