• Template:PIM (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was a single-use external link template, but I had to replace that usage because the link went to the the website's main page (rather than directly to the Arsenic page). Now orphaned and any future uses would be worse than a simple direct link, so we should delete the template. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

• Template:SES (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The only use of this template is incorrect, as the homepage of the SES does not mention it at all. I feel like if there is source attribution to be given, then templates such as {{Source-attribution}} should be used. Primefac (talk) 16:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

• Template:Sm. (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused (though I did remove the single use) and unexplained template that just adds a piped link to a botanist. Clearly not needed any more. Primefac (talk) 16:47, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Maybe it's meant to be subst-only? jlwoodwa (talk) 17:31, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete. This links is very much MOS:EGG. I don't see how "Sm" can mean "James Edward Smith". Gonnym (talk) 00:37, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@Gonnym: It's a taxon authority abbreviation. In botany, these abbreviations are standardized (see List of botanists by author abbreviation (S)). If you see "Sm." after the binomial name of a plant, it will always mean James Edward Smith (botanist). This is also why Sm. redirects to him. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:28, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying that (not sarcastic, as I truly didn't know). That however is MOS:JARGON which should be avoided. Gonnym (talk) 09:48, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Template designed to give a {{No redirect}}-style link to a redirect along with either a Special:WhatLinksHere or edit link. While I can kind of see its use, they have only been used in one set of database reports since their creation (of which they are also historic and no longer updated). Primefac (talk) 15:43, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. This seems to fall in a bit of a grey area as far as the Module namespace goes, given that users can create sandbox templates but not sandbox modules in their own userspace. I recommend a discussion to find a "formal" naming structure for user sandboxes in the Module space. Primefac (talk) 19:03, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

• Module:User:Anomie/deepToString (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused sandbox or test module. If the user still wants it move to the user's sandbox per Module:Sandbox to Module:Sandbox/Anomie/module name, else delete. Gonnym (talk) 09:01, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

• Keep Why randomly change the conventions for naming user module sandboxes? And if there is an actual consensus for that somewhere, you should be proposing a rename rather than a deletion. Anomie⚔ 12:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  I'm not proposing a rename, I'm proposing deleting an unused module. If the user, in this case, you, still want this, then it should be moved to pseudo userspace in the Module namespace, which I've indicated above. Gonnym (talk) 12:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  It is in a pseudo-userspace in the Module namespace. Just not the particular pseudo-namespace you prefer. And this one isn't even a sandbox, it's a module intended for use in the Lua debug console. Anomie⚔ 13:12, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

• Keep No reason given to delete other than a personal preference for Module:Sandbox. However, Module:User is appropriate because the code is finished and not a sandbox. Johnuniq (talk) 01:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

  Our only existing information page on the point describes Special:Prefixindex/Module:Sandbox/ as the place for sandboxes, for which there is a clear and obvious preference compared to Special:Prefixindex/Module:User:. It does not appear to be solely personal preference. Izno (talk) 02:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

  The main "clear preference" is because people like you and Gonnym have gone through and moved or deleted existing pages out of Module:User:. Looking at the place you link, I note all it says is (emphasis added) Module:Sandbox provides a pseudo-namespace for experimenting with Lua modules. At least until one of you changes it to further your crusade. Anomie⚔ 12:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

  @Anomie Erm, please find me moving literally anyone's module sandbox or retract your unsubstantiated WP:ASPERSION. Heck, you're welcome to find me advocating for moving sandboxes of modules literally anywhere besides this page. I won't hold my breath, but maybe I've said something or done something of the sort to be held up as a "crusader". Remind yourself what WP:AGF looks like, please.

  Since you think it is WP:FAIT by Gonnym also, you are also welcome to show evidence of that being the case, otherwise that too should be treated as an WP:ASPERSION. Do you really want to be at ANI for this topic?

  Regarding does not support your claim that your preferred space is the only one, you may wish to review what I actually said: "the only page we have that says anything says it goes here".

  You're somewhere between WP:BLUDGEON (on the soft end) and WP:BATTLEGROUND (on the hard end). Either move on or significantly reduce the temperature you are displaying response to everyone else here. It is not the end of the world if your modules are moved, merged, or whatever other option TFD decides, and you know it. Izno (talk) 23:36, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

  Here's one, and here are seven more.

  WP:FAIT: where actions are justified by virtue of being already carried out, such as moving things away from Module:User: then pointing to "clear and obvious preference".

  You may want to re-read what you said: (emphasis added) describes Special:Prefixindex/Module:Sandbox/ as the place for sandboxes, versus "a place" as I quoted.

  You seem to be the one coming in hot for no reason to me. Anomie⚔ 01:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Either this is a sandbox, in which case move it to proper sandbox space per nom, or it is not a sandbox, in which case it should be deleted as unused: we are not a web host. I don't have a preference between the two. You can probably get me, at best, to merge to Module:Dump or similar given the apparent purpose of this module, at best. Izno (talk) 02:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Who made you the arbiter of what is the "proper sandbox space"? As for "unused", it's a module intended to be used in the console without being traditionally transcluded. You're also misquoting WP:WEBHOST, nothing in that applies here. As I mentioned below, WP:MFD's discussion of user pages is more relevant. Anomie⚔ 12:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

    WP:MFD's discussion of user pages is more relevant We routinely move pages that are in template or module space per TFD to user's clear namespace when they are found not to be helping the greater wiki at large (as would be evidenced by an untranscluded module and where that user requests such a move), or simply deleted when such users don't pop up to request their template's salvation. It's not enough for a module Just To Exist, we are interested in people being able to find the technology they need, which is inhibited when modules aren't named how they should be named. Right now this module displays a stunning WP:OWNing name, whether you think it is for yourself or for others. I was willing to entertain it was valuable, so...:

    it's a module intended to be used in the console without being traditionally transcluded Yes, which is why I left an opening here for another end to this module, vice the below sandbox module with the word sandbox in it. Speaking of:

    Who made you the arbiter of what is the "proper sandbox space"? It is clear what the global preference is. Do you want to respect that silent consensus? Do you respect it? Do we actually need to put something in WP:Lua that more strongly says what the delineation should be for sandboxes? I fine to do that. I suspect the replies to an RFC on the point will be the same, but hey, I'm suggesting there is opportunity there to decide further how module sandboxes should be named. Izno (talk) 23:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

    Re your first paragraph, since you ignored what I said in favor of irrelevancies, I'll ignore what you said since it's irrelevant.

    Re your second, a non-sandbox under a "sandbox" prefix isn't a very convincing suggestion.

    Re your third, I could just as easily update WP:Lua and other pages to reflect what I see is the actual situation, that both conventions have been in use since 2013. Module:Sandbox has had the advantage of being on WP:Lua for all that time, and yet Module:User: still has had a fair bit of usage until people started trying to eliminate it. How about neither of us do unilateral edits? Anomie⚔ 01:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Module:User:Anomie/Sandbox

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. This seems to fall in a bit of a grey area as far as the Module namespace goes, given that users can create sandbox templates but not sandbox modules in their own userspace. I recommend a discussion to find a "formal" naming structure for user sandboxes in the Module space. Primefac (talk) 19:02, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

• Module:User:Anomie/Sandbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused sandbox or test module. If the user still wants it move to the user's sandbox per Module:Sandbox to Module:Sandbox/Anomie/module name, else delete. Gonnym (talk) 09:01, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

• Keep Why randomly change the conventions for naming user module sandboxes? And if there is an actual consensus for that somewhere, you should be proposing a rename rather than a deletion. Anomie⚔ 12:08, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  I'm not proposing a rename, I'm proposing deleting an unused module. If the user, in this case, you, still want this, then it should be moved to pseudo userspace in the Module namespace, which I've indicated above. Gonnym (talk) 12:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  It is in a pseudo-userspace in the Module namespace. Just not the particular pseudo-namespace you prefer. Anomie⚔ 13:12, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  Not randomly at all. This module is an unused module in the module space and is subject to all other guidelines and procedures, meaning it can be sent to TfD and deleted. Iff the user still wants the module (and so far, they have not stated that), the module should be moved to the pseudo userspace in the Module namespace, which I've indicated above. Gonnym (talk) 12:16, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  You want guidelines and procedures? If Modules could be in the User namespace, this would be handled at WP:MFD which generally doesn't delete established users' subpages just because some busybody thinks they're "unused". But since modules need to be in the Module namespace, we need a convention for "userspace" for people to have their own modules, and pages in that pseudo-userspace should probably be judged under the same criteria as other userspace pages. I also note that the "Module:User:<name>" convention has existed for as long as the "Module:Sandbox/<name>" convention, and has the advantage of covering more than just sandboxes. Anomie⚔ 13:12, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

  As I noted above, the other convention is clearly not the preferred one if we treat these as sandboxes, nor is your apparently preferred convention for sandbox modules even mentioned in the relevant page on the point. At best you have to argue this is their own personal collection of scripts that in fact see real use (despite the name in this specific case being otherwise), in which case that's not what template space is for and we'd be deleting them the same for that reason (or alternatively, if they are transcluded they should have a name that doesn't presume ownership over their contents). Izno (talk) 02:28, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

  As I replied above, the "not the preferred one" is largely due to people like you and Gonnym trying for a Misplaced Pages:Fait accompli and Misplaced Pages:Lua does not support your claim that your preferred space is the only one. Anomie⚔ 12:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
