Unused navbox that is way too broad and non-specific. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:42, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Nobody has seen fit to use the template for a (very) long while, with good reason, barring the sudden rush of additions since this TfD came up. We already have very broad templates including Eukaryota; going for everything-that-lives is basically a bridge way too far. We don't need this template. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The template does the job well and provides a good overview in a manageable size. That it wasn't used doesn't mean it isn't useful, just that nobody took the time to distribute it. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:29, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed it. It's used now... just forgot to put the template into its articles... RingtailedFoxTalkContribs 07:54, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. La Ronge is a small market which only has one true radio station of its own, and literally everything else here is a rebroadcaster of a station from another market. But per WP:TCREEP, radio stations are not supposed to contain an explosion of market navboxes for every individual city or town where they have a rebroadcaster — they are only supposed to have the navbox for their originating market. For example, the Prince Albert radio market navbox is the only one that belongs on CHQX-FM, not three additional submarket navboxes for Big River and La Ronge and Waskesiu Lake. So the only page this template belongs on is CBKA-FM, and a navbox for one page is not needed. CBKA is already navboxed for its network anyway, so deleting this will not depopulate the article's inbound links. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete per Bearcat, too small of a market. Frietjes (talk) 13:43, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navbox that is almost entirely WP:REDLINKS. WP:EXISTING violation. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:31, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was created in good faith and in anticipation that, eventually, every county would have a list of hills. However, as only the southern counties are covered to date, it has been replaced, for those counties that are linked, by Template:Hills of Southern England. I've saved a copy of this one in my user space in case lists for the other counties are created. HTH. Bermicourt (talk) 11:00, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bermicourt, to be clear, I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't created in good faith!!! That was never a question in my mind. I was merely stating the facts of its current state. For all I know, every one of those pages existed when the navbox was created but have since been deleted. I want to be clear I'm not suggesting you did ANYTHING wrong. I'm simply pointing out that as the template currently sits it is mostly WP:REDLINKS and thus violates WP:EXISTING. My apologies if you felt I was saying you did something wrong. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Zackmann08. No worries, no offence taken. It appears unlikely that the remaining articles will be created any time soon, so the template may as well be deleted and re-created when they do. Bermicourt (talk) 20:01, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Yesno. There is overall support for this merger. Given that this merger could potentially affect millions of pages, it needs to be heavily sandboxed to make sure nothing breaks. I believe that the best implementation will be to convert the two "if" templates into wrappers and then proceed from there, but regardless of the exact method there should be as close to 0% error as possible. Please feel free to ping me for input/implementation. Primefac (talk) 23:29, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If merged then do not call the template yesno. E.g. does "remove", "exclude", "include", "on", "off", "add", "none", means yes or no? Christian75 (talk) 10:02, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Your proposal would affect a template transcluded on almost a quarter of all pages on Wikipedia. Such a huge change needs a much wider discussion than an ordinary TFD; please go to WP:VP/Pr or something of the sort, so that you can get a wider audience. Nyttend (talk) 11:55, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. I think the proposal makes sense. Care must be taken in its implementation, of course. TfD is the correct forum for this discussion, as that's exactly its purpose; posting notice of this discussion at other forums can resolve any concern this this discussion is not visible enough. --Bsherr (talk) 19:00, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While there does appear to be the beginnings of a consensus to merge these three templates, the (currently sole) opposition makes a valid point that a template family that affects 10 million pages should receive a little bit more discussion than is currently present. TFD is the proper location for this discussion to take place, but I will place notices at WT:WPT and WP:VPT in an effort to drum up more comments from potentially interested parties.

  • Comment: The links in this navbox appear to go to articles about modern cities in the region, not to articles about the provinces within the Samanid Empire. I looked at a few of the linked articles, and they do not mention this empire or the city's role in it. This linking may violate MOS:EGG or a similar guideline. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:18, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? The majority of the links don't. And if there are cities, that because the province was situated at those cities. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:39, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

unused navbox with no parent article. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:20, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems I created this navbox and never got round to adding it to the articles. Will you still want to delete it if I do? Fifty of these pages have no navboxes, despite clearly being closely related (instalments of a single series, with clear boundaries for inclusion). I don't know of any strict rule that navboxes need a parent article, and the Bernice Summerfield one comes pretty close here anyway. If the rule is that strict, dozens of navboxes like Template:Eighth Doctor audios will also have to be deleted, because there isn't an Eighth Doctor audios parent article. —Flax5 15:08, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is no strict rule that navboxes need a parent article but #4 at Wikipedia:Categories,_lists,_and_navigation_templates#Navigation_templates notes it for good templates. Personally I'd say this was an ideal use of a template, although noting that many of the articles are tagged as perhaps being not notable (but that's another issue). Nigej (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The {{Virgin New Adventures}} are a series of Doctor Who novels, some featuring Bernice Summerfield, who then became the protagonist of a spin-off novel series also published by Virgin. Big Finish's {{Bernice Summerfield audios}} are a subsequent spin-off series, with a handful of special audio episodes adapting old novels. The former template arranges the novels by the in-universe logic of which characters are featured rather than the real-world production/release history, which might be the source of some of the confusion. —Flax5 20:17, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Currently {{Virgin New Adventures}} does not have all the links of {{Bernice Summerfield audios}}, but I'm not sure if that is because it wasn't updated or because they don't belong. If the reason is that they don't belong, then {{Bernice Summerfield audios}} has a use and should be added. I just don't want to see 2 templates, with one having all the links of the other. --Gonnym (talk) 07:35, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They're separate series, the only overlap is the seven articles about VNA novels that were later adapted into audio dramas. I've gone ahead and added the navbox to the correct pages. —Flax5 10:49, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These templates have been, or should have been, unused in article space since the 2013 conversion of {{authority control}} to a Lua module. Any remaining uses should be able to be converted or substituted. See this talk page for a brief discussion about these templates and a link to a five-year-old discussion. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:52, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked, and there were only two active transclusions of any of the above templates outside of the pages themselves. In the interest of transparency, I should say that I put nowiki tags around the one that appeared on an archived talk page for the {{Authority control}} template, since the discussion was about the name of the template. I converted the other instance at User:MikeParker to a simple call to {{Authority control}}, which updated the display a bit while preserving the functionality. The only remaining transclusions are of {{Authority control/categories}}, all of which occur within the templates listed above. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:40, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what the need or application for this template is, or where such a need would exist here on Wikipedia. This appears to be a template for official accounts, but we generally don't give coverage to official social media accounts and rather cover the person or organization in question instead. Furthermore this template was created as the first edit of a brand new user, and appears to have been copied from some other template. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 08:23, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated and duplicate color templates. All three represent the same political party, albeit one which changed its name in 2015. A mixture of all three templates are linked to in political articles spanning more than 20 years. --Heyitsstevo (talk) 06:04, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, except use the yellow colour in Template:One Nation/meta/color. For most of their 20-year history, they have used the yellow. They have recently been using an orange, which is difficult to differentiate from another significant minor party, the Democrats, in elections from 1998 to 2005. With minor parties especially, we sometimes need to depart from the exact colour that they use in order to help differentiate them from other parties. We should maintain the yellow for now.
