Template:City Terminal Zone link

Template:City Terminal Zone link (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Content is just the link City Terminal Zone. No inclusions on What Links Here. The content is shorter than the template name, so I doubt it's being actively subst'd. SeventyThree 23:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Obsolete disambiguation templates

These are apparently no longer needed, and there is an excessive proliferation of similar-looking and poorly-documented disambiguation templates in Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates. -- Beland 17:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Subnational entity

Template:Subnational entity (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete -- This bloated template keeps changing its displayed name, currently "Country subdivisions", as each previous incarnation is disputed. It serves no purpose, its contents are already in the related categories, more complete contents already are listified at List of terms for subnational entities, List of subnational entities, and Matrix of subnational entities. It is almost the entire page at Division (subnational entity), and half the page at many other locations. --William Allen Simpson 17:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Tournament bracket templates

These templates are part of an earlier cumbersome attempt to generate a tournament bracket. They have been replaced by Template:16TeamBracket, Template:Round16, and some of the other better designed templates listed on Category:Sports templates. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Sigma Chi infobox

Template:Sigma Chi infobox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template is only used or possibly useful in Sigma Chi, where it has been replaced by the standardized Template:Infobox fraternity Lanoitarus .:. 06:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Joke new messages

Template:Joke new messages (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This has no encyclopedic value and is not used on any pages. A template isn't necessary for a new messages spoof. Sango123 (e) 01:03, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep The user box templates have no encyclopedic value either, and most of them are still templates that haven't been deleted. It is not like the name "Template:Joke new messages" is using up any space for a real template. Just because it isn't the size of a userbox, doesn't mean you can't consider it a userbox. If you delete this template, you might as well delete all of the userboxes under the category funny. Also, people want to put this template on their user page. If we delete it, where are they gonna put it if users need it. --GeorgeMoney
  • Delete and send anyone trying to use it to bed without a cookie. The hand-made fake new message bars are annoying enough; let's not encourage people by providing templates for them. Kirill Lokshin 02:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Let's make a compromise. As Sango123 said, you don't need a template to spoof the 'You have new messages' prompt. Check other user's pages (mine included) to see how they do it and follow suit :)
    You'll find it's done like this: <div class="usermessage plainlinks"><div class="plainlinks">You have '''<font color=002BB8>]</font> (<font color=002BB8>]</font>).'''</div></div> — nathanrdotcom 02:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
    If we are gonna do what nathanrdotcom says, then lets at least make a category of people with the message, so people can find the code and copy it into their page. It was hard enough for me to find one of those users to copy the code and make the template. --GeorgeMoney
  • Delete per nom and also and at the risk of WP:BEANS, this template has potential for abuse. JoshuaZ 05:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as this definitely isn't something to be encouraged by making a template for it. —Doug Bell 11:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete per WP:BEANS --William Allen Simpson 17:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, people are free to act like fools but I see no reason to encourage it. Christopher Parham (talk) 19:12, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I, the creator, say to delete it. --GeorgeMoney 20:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Well if you, the creator say to delete it, go there and slap a {{db|reason}} on it and it'll be deleted. — nathanrdotcom 00:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
