Template:1939 shipwrecks

Unused, only links other templates Ten Pound Hammer00:05, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

If you review the shipwreck templates for 1914 through 1918 and for 1939 through 1945, you will see that during the two world wars, shipwreck templates are by month unless the month of the shipwreck is unknown, in which case it goes into a template for the entire year. The template for the entire year also includes links to shipwreck templates for each month of the year. The only year that does not yet have any shipwrecks with unknown months is 1939, which is why the shipwreck template for 1939 is constructed the way it is. If you delete this template, you destroy the consistent pattern established for all other World War I and World War II yearly shipwreck templates without gaining anything worthwhile. You also make it impossible to navigate easily from one month to another within 1939, something possible in all other wartime years. I request that you retract this nomination for deletion and instead bring up the matter with WikiProject Shipwrecks on their discussion page. They could do a better job of discussing options there than this deletion discussion could. Better yet, improve Misplaced Pages by writing an article or two on 1939 shipwrecks with unknown dates and solve the "problem" – if it really is a problem – that way.

Another issue to consider that would arise from deletion: If this template is deleted, it will make 1939 the only year between 1862 (currently; I continued to push the date back) and 2017 that does not have its own annual navigation template. This will be confusing for Misplaced Pages users, make quick navigation from 1938 to 1939 to 1940 much harder, and require resurrection of the 1939 template when ships with unknown dates have articles created. All without gaining anything for Misplaced Pages or its users.Mdnavman (talk) 14:35, 21 June 2017 (UTC)mdnavman

Template:Latest stable software release/TrueCrypt

Not in use anymore.

Subpages of Template:Latest stable software release are transcluded by {{Infobox software}} into an article whose subject is the same as the subpage name. Doing so keeps the version number updating edits off the main article. But because of the discontinuation of its subject, this template will never be updated again. As such, I've transcluded its contents into the main article. Codename Lisa (talk) 10:36, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
