Proposed deletion |
On this page, the deletion or merging of templates and modules, except as noted below, is discussed.
How to use this page
What not to propose for discussion here
The majority of deletion and merger proposals concerning pages in the template namespace and module namespace should be listed on this page. However, there are a few exceptions:
- Stub templates
- Stub templates and categories should be listed at Categories for discussion, as these templates are merely containers for their categories, unless the stub template does not come with a category and is being nominated by itself.
- Userboxes
- Userboxes should be listed at Miscellany for deletion, regardless of the namespace in which they reside.
- Speedy deletion candidates
- If the template clearly satisfies a criterion for speedy deletion, tag it with a speedy deletion template. For example, if you wrote the template and request its deletion, tag it with {{Db-author}}.
- Policy or guideline templates
- Templates that are associated with particular Wikipedia policies or guidelines, such as the speedy deletion templates, cannot be listed at TfD separately. They should be discussed on the talk page of the relevant guideline.
- Template redirects
- List at Redirects for discussion.
- Moving and renaming
- Use Wikipedia:Requested moves.
Reasons to delete a template
- The template violates some part of the template namespace guidelines, and can't be altered to be in compliance.
- The template is redundant to a better-designed template.
- 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.
- The template violates a policy such as Neutral point of view or Civility and it can't be fixed through normal editing.
Templates should not be nominated if the issue can be fixed by normal editing. Instead, you should edit the template to fix its problems. If the template is complex and you don't know how to fix it, WikiProject Templates may be able to help.
Templates for which none of these apply may be deleted by consensus here. If a template is being misused, consider clarifying its documentation to indicate the correct use, or informing those that misuse it, rather than nominating it for deletion. Initiate a discussion on the template talk page if the correct use itself is under debate.
Listing a template
To list a template for deletion or merging, follow this three-step process. The use of Twinkle (explained below) is strongly recommended, as it automates and simplifies these steps. Note that the "Template:" prefix should not be included anywhere when carrying out these steps (unless otherwise specified).
Step | Instructions |
---|---|
I: Tag the template. | Add one of the following codes to the top of the template page:
Note:
Multiple templates: If you are nominating multiple related templates, choose a meaningful title for the discussion (like "American films by decade templates"). Tag every template with Related categories: If including template-populated tracking categories in the TfD nomination, add TemplateStyles pages: The above templates will not work on TemplateStyles pages. Instead, add a CSS comment to the top of the page:
|
II: List the template at TfD. | Follow to edit today's TfD log.
Add this text to the top of the list:
If the template has had previous TfDs, you can add Use an edit summary such as Multiple templates: If this is a deletion proposal involving multiple templates, use the following: {{subst:Tfd2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be deleted. ~~~~}} You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters If this is a merger proposal involving more than two templates, use the following: {{subst:Tfm2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|with=main template (optional)|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be merged. ~~~~}} You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters Related categories: If this is a deletion proposal involving a template and a category populated solely by templates, add this code in the {{subst:Catfd2|category name}} |
III: Notify users. | Please notify the creator of the template nominated (as well as the creator of the target template, if proposing a merger). It is helpful to also notify the main contributors of the template that you are nominating. To find them, look in the page history or talk page of the template. Then, add one of the following:
to the talk pages of the template creator (and the creator of the other template for a merger) and the talk pages of the main contributors. It is also helpful to make any interested WikiProjects aware of the discussion. To do that, make sure the template's talk page is tagged with the banners of any relevant WikiProjects; please consider notifying any of them that do not use Article alerts. Multiple templates: There is no template for notifying an editor about a multiple-template nomination: please write a personal message in these cases. |
Consider adding any templates you nominate for TfD to your watchlist. This will help ensure that the TfD tag is not removed.
After nominating: Notify interested projects and editors
While it is sufficient to list a template for discussion at TfD (see above), nominators and others sometimes want to attract more attention from and participation by informed editors. All such efforts must comply with Wikipedia's guideline against biased canvassing.
To encourage participation by less experienced editors, please avoid Wikipedia-specific abbreviations in the messages you leave about the discussion, link to any relevant policies or guidelines, and link to the TfD discussion page itself. If you are recommending that a template be speedily deleted, please give the criterion that it meets.
WikiProjects are groups of editors that are interested in a particular subject or type of editing. If the article is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, they may welcome a brief, neutral note on their project's talk page(s) about the TfD. You can use {{Tfd notice}}
for this.
Tagging the nominated template's talk page with a relevant Wikiproject's banner will result in the template being listed in that project's Article Alerts automatically, if they subscribe to the system. For instance, tagging a template with {{WikiProject Physics}} will list the discussion in Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Article alerts.
Notifying substantial contributors to the template
While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the template and its talkpage that you are nominating for discussion. To find the creator and main contributors, look in the page history or talk page.
At this point, you've done all you need to do as nominator. Sometime after seven days have passed, someone else will either close the discussion or, where needed, "relist" it for another seven days of discussion. (That "someone" may not be you, the nominator.)
Once you have submitted a template here, no further action is necessary on your part. If the nomination is successful it will be added to the Holding Cell until the change is implemented. There is no requirement for nominators to be part of the implementation process, but they are allowed to if they so wish.
Also, consider adding any templates you nominate to your watchlist. This will help ensure that your nomination tag is not mistakenly or deliberately removed.
Twinkle
Twinkle is a convenient tool that can perform many of the posting and notification functions automatically, with fewer errors and missed steps than manual editing. Twinkle does not notify WikiProjects, although many of them have automatic alerts. It is helpful to notify any interested WikiProjects that don't receive alerts, but this has to be done manually.
Discussion
Anyone can join the discussion, but please understand the deletion policy and explain your reasoning.
People will sometimes also recommend subst or subst and delete and similar. This means the template text should be "merged" into the articles that use it. Depending on the content, the template page may then be deleted; if preserving the edit history for attribution is desirable, it may be history-merged with the target article or moved to mainspace and redirected.
Templates are rarely orphaned—that is, removed from pages that transclude them—before the discussion is closed. A list of open discussions eligible for closure can be found at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Old unclosed discussions.
Closing discussion
Administrators should read the closing instructions before closing a nomination. Note that WP:XFDcloser semi-automates this process and ensures all of the appropriate steps are taken.

- Template:Kai Cenat (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Aside from the main article and the article on the riot in Union Square, there is very little connection that connects the subject with the links in the related topics section of the navbox. Passing mentions in articles that already link to Cenat's main article and have very little connection that would require a navbox to navigate through or with. There is only one mention on JiDion's page of Cenat which doesn't make it related enough to the overall topic. Same for "Just Wanna Rock" as it says is he appears in the music video. He didn't sing or help with any other aspect of the song even with the main article about the Pink Tape album. This is not a good use of a navbox. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Template:What Is This?

This navbox template fails the WP:Rule of five. It lists only the members of the band, and is only used in four articles about those members. The list of notable members is almost a duplicate of the list of members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as this band was the precursor of that one. The potential deletion of this navbox has been discussed before, but apparently it was linked to a larger number of articles then than it is now. See the prior discussions at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 December 24#Template:What Is This? and Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 December 29#Template:What Is This?. There are currently no articles about the works of this band – only an article about the band as a whole. The previous discussion referred to the navbox being used in articles about "Four musicians and three albums", but there are currently no articles about the albums.

Template:Cleanest City
- Template:Cleanest City (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Single use "table that looks like an infobox" template that I think is confusingly designed and doesn't add much to the single article where it is used. This is used on one article, List of cleanest cities in India, where it presents a selection of information that is either largely irrelevant to the article or which is presented in a confusing manner.
The "city, city2 city3 city4" parameters are supposed to take the top 4 cleanest cities from the article. In the infobox, however, the first city is presented as a title, with the following three being presented as a horizontal, comma separated list. It isn't clear in the infobox that the information here is actually an ordered ranking, and this duplicates the content of the article, which is an ordered list of the cleanest cities.
The next few parameters allow you to give some basic geographical information about only one of the cities in the list, which I don't see as particularly relevant to the topic of the article, nor the kind of information that should be presented with a "quick glance" in the infobox.
The bottom of the template concludes with a really confusing "back" button, which apparently takes you to the previous city that was found to be the cleanest, but the presentation as a "back" button is really confusing given that the article it takes you to isn't part of a series and does not have a corresponding "forward" button.
I don't think that repeating the first few list entries in infobox form is useful: most list articles do not include infoboxes because the content of a list does not lend itself to this form of presentation. In my opinion this template should be deleted, and any future infobox for this article would need a serious rethink about what its purpose is and what information it is trying to portray. 192.76.8.66 (talk) 17:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

without {{infobox}} is the wrong way to go since we are moving to templatestyles for infobox. Frietjes (talk) 19:35, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Template:Witchcraft sidebar
This duplicates the content at all the linked templates, and futher confuses the issues currently going on at Witchcraft and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Witchcraft by lumping together and confusing the traditional, global and historical vs neopagan definitions of Witchcraft. For instance it lumps together healers with those who do harm. It's just not needed and is an escalation of an ongoing dispute. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Witchcraft (traditional) started by the same user. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 00:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: It's a useful template for navigating the diverse range of witchcraft-related material.

This is one of two side-boxes, the other is explicitly focused on Wicca, which falls within one distinct sub-category. Nominator persists in conflating different subjects without reliable sources and in the face of reliable sources. Darker Dreams (talk) 09:03, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - per CorbieVreccan's points above. It lumps together witchcraft (harmful magic), folk healers (people sought for protection against witchcraft), Neopagan 'Witchcraft'/Wicca and 'feminist witchcraft'. It also needlessly duplicates Template:Witchcraft. – Asarlaí (talk) 09:27, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, part of this justification is that someone should be nominating Template:Christianity_sidebar as redundant with Template:Christianity footer and Template:Islam as redundant with Template:Islam_topics? Because Template:Witchcraft is a footer and this is a sidebar. Darker Dreams (talk) 09:36, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's not only redundant, it lumps together very different things under the same name. Also, Christianity and Islam are obviously far bigger topics. – Asarlaí (talk) 11:25, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, does this mean you support removing material about folk healers, cunning folk, Neopagan witchcraft and Wicca from Witchcraft? Because that article also lumps them together with witchcraft (harmful magic). Skyerise (talk) 11:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- "[lumping together very different things under the same name" is exactly what has happened in the article Witchcraft (with its overarching theme of malevolence, which you vigorously defend), Asarlai and CorbieVreccan. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 11:45, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- The witchcraft article doesn't lump them together as if they're the same. They're mentioned briefly, as they should be...the same way witchcraft (malevolent magic) is mentioned briefly on Neopagan Witchcraft and Wicca, or how Satanism is mentioned briefly on Satan for example. This was discussed (see here) and that was the consensus. – Asarlaí (talk) 18:16, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Exactly. Neopagan redefinitions are only mentioned briefly at Witchcraft for the sake of disambiguation. But because of the choice of some neopagans to call themselves "witches", despite the global and multi-cultural meaning, those interested in the white, western neopagan practices will check out the article. When they don't see what they are looking for, better they see a brief hatnote, and mention that explains the difference and directs them to what they may have been looking for, like Wicca. Without this disambiguation we tend to get confusion and anger on the part of readers, resulting in disruption by angry IPs. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete, better to use the footer navbox for navigation which doesn't take up space that could be used by other right-floating content like infoboxes and pictures. Frietjes (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - this template is a reactionary gesture that duplicates content in other templates. It seems to be part of a coordinated effort on multiple pages, as well as a DRN to promote a certain definition. It is confusing to our readership, redundant and unnecessary. I concur with the arguments presented by CorbieVreccan and Asarlaí. Netherzone (talk) 02:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Weren't you just arguing to assume good faith?[2] But your assumption is "a reactionary gesture that [...] It seems to be part of a coordinated effort on multiple pages, as well as a DRN to promote a certain definition." Darker Dreams (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. If one want to dispute specific particulars of content of the template, the place to have that discussion is the template's talk page. There's certainly a valid navigational use for a template like this and, as WP:DELCONTENT notes,
[i]f editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page
. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC) - Delete per the duplication of navigation. Izno (talk) 20:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The sidebar template provides easier navigation between the regional aritlces, recently expanded to include Witchcraft in the Middle East and improvements to Asian witchcraft. Reading the wind on Talk:Witchcraft, I expect Witchcraft in North America to appear soon, to complement Witchcraft in Latin America. Really a useful template.

- Additional comment, this useful and topical navbox for Wikipedia's witchcraft collection adjoins and enhances the neutral balance of the Witchcraft article which, itself, has long purposely demeaned millions of women who either now or in the past identify as witches, an article which has somehow added to and further built the propaganda used to murder tens of thousands of intelligent and peaceful women in the not-so-long-ago past (an article which is a curse on Wikipedia, to coin a phrase). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Whenever there's a navbox there can be a sidebar, and the navbox is not in dispute, but the particular arrangement of the sidebar (Maybe? Still?) is, so the dispute actually centers around how to design the sidebar which is a content matter that invokes the "XfD is not cleanup" logic. Individual issues can be taken to the template talk page. All in all, it is highly justified to have a sidebar for this topic, to aid navigation.—Alalch E. 16:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Izno. It duplicates the navigational purpose of Template:Witchcraft, a better collection of links. Additional thoughts: normally, a topic doesn't have both a sidebar and a navbox. Occasionally, there will be reasons to have both. Sidebars are particularly well-suited to subjects that lack images and infoboxes. But that's not the case for witchcraft-related pages, and thus a navbox is more appropriate. SWinxy (talk) 01:39, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- There are regional daughter articles, which readers should not have to scroll to the bottom for. Also, many, many topics have both, so your "normally" needs to show a policy or guideline basis. Skyerise (talk) 13:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Skyerise is correct, many topics have both side and footer navboxes. This topic seems suitable for both. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:33, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Template:Unicode chart
- Template:Unicode chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
No transclusions. Marked as "Under construction. Not fit for mainspace. 01 Oct 2022". Created by a now-indefinitely-blocked editor. A template with this same name was previously deleted, but I do not know if it was the same as this one. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:08, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment what about Module:Unicode chart ? -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 15:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- That module has multiple editors in good standing, and even more talk page contributors. It's a bit moribund right now, but I will try to make a push at WP:WikiProject Writing systems to see if we can't get it fully up on its feet. It would actually be a huge development in terms of being able to present Unicode on Wikipedia, and a tremendous help to maintenance. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 18:36, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- This should either be converted into a template wrapper for
{{#invoke:Unicode chart}}
, or made a redirect to that module. Since the module would realistically be used almost exclusively in category:Unicode Blocks, I'm not sure whether the template wrapper is really necessary or not. So I'm just going to be WP:BOLD and refactor this into a wrapper for the module, but would support converting to a redirect between namespaces as well if that's what people think would be best. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 18:32, 2 August 2023 (UTC) - Keep (as the wrapper Vanisaacc created) - template-to-module namespace redirects are generally a bad idea since trying to transclude one will result in the raw code being displayed rather than the module being invoked. I see no further reason to use TfD to interfere with Vanisaac's project. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't see any real usage for this as all other charts are pretty much single usage templates anyways. Gonnym (talk) 16:57, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
