Template:Pp-main-page

• Template:Pp-main-page (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template does not appear to be in use anymore. Should it be deleted or simply marked as historical? (It has a fair amount of links) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• Keep and add to {{c-uploaded}}, as that seems to be its intended use case. – Train2104 (t • c) 16:40, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

  Doesn't seem to be used however. Maybe merge the code of the pp template into the c-upload one? (Perhaps even make the latter template produce an error message if the file is edit or indefinitely protected, as none of these two things are in its scope) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:16, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Merging sounds good too. I'm not too familiar with when {{c-uploaded}} is necessary - as far as I understand it's merely as a backup when the bots are down now? – Train2104 (t • c) 20:06, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Template:Viral life cycle

• Template:Viral life cycle (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This illustrates influenza virus only. Other viruses replicate differently. It gives incorrect information by implying that all viruses replicate like this. Graham Beards (talk) 10:33, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Rename Per the argument of the nominator it should simply be renamed to "Template:Influenza virus life cycle". Why delete though? Debresser (talk) 14:25, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Template:Higher education in Crimea

Provides navigation to two or three articles only, unused since 2015 Aloneinthewild (talk) 21:23, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Comment: it needs reformation, but for now does not seem to be useful. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 21:27, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

• Keep Has many entries, just that not many are articles yet. The potential, however, is there. Debresser (talk) 22:01, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

That seems to go against the principle of a WP:NAVBOX being for navigation, it would be better to create the articles first before creating this template. At the moment it is mostly a list and that doesn't help any reader. Aloneinthewild (talk) 16:50, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

On the other hand, with categories it is a rule that we look at the potential. Although I agree with you that with templates we do not have such a rule, I think we should cut some slack to an area which on Misplaced Pages is not yet as developed as e.g. the US, by which I mean the Crimea. Debresser (talk) 18:31, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

• delete, the only working links are in Template:Universities in Ukraine, which is telling. the better approach would be to first write List of universities in Crimea, which can have as many red links as needed. navigation boxes are for navigation. currently this isn't navigating anything. Frietjes (talk) 14:21, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Template:Higher education in Uman

• Template:Higher education in Uman (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Article probation

• Template:Article probation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Article probation is no longer used by ArbCom and has replaced with discretionary sanctions on article it was previously active on. No need for this template, other than maybe redirecting it to Template:Ds? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:29, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Apparently I created the original version of this template in 2006, during a period when I served as one of the first arbitration clerks. The arbitration committee in its elected form was at that time just a little over a year old, and the role of the clerk was even newer and very controversial. The current institutions of Misplaced Pages come from such origins but have no doubt changed and adapted to the needs of a maturing community.

This template should probably be referred to the current arbitration clerks, as its use was probably intended to be restricted to that semi-official role. At first glance it seems to be long obsolete, but on the other hand I see no pressing need to delete it. But the current lot may well have their own opinions, and it's a matter of record that I relinquished my role under a cloud, at the request of the Committee. This template has been relisted after an initial listing that drew no comments I draw the conclusion that its deletion would otherwise be without controversy, so let's refer it to the present-day clerks. --TS 00:59, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Template:NHL on Global

• Template:NHL on Global (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Once you remove the commentators per WP:PERFNAV, and the articles that do not have any relation to the actual coverage of the sport by the network (the games, etc), you are left with one link! Rob Sinden (talk) 07:54, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Your comments that the games themselves have no relation to the actual coverage of the sport by the network makes absolutely no sense. It would be sort of like saying that you can't acknowledge that NBC was the American network that broadcast this particular year's Stanley Cup Finals since they don't go hand and hand one way or another. Whether you want to admit it or acknowledge it or not, these games in question were broadcast by SOMEBODY in particular. Again, you're not reading between the lines and having an extremely narrow focus. You're just taking something that you seemingly didn't actually bother to read into or fully understand such as its context and therefore, decided that you might as well throw the baby out with the bathwater. BornonJune8 (talk) 01:59 13 April 2017 (UTC)

The articles are about the finals, not the coverage. Where on the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals article (for example) does it discuss in any detail the coverage of the finals by the Global network? --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:08, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Well, the beauty of Misplaced Pages is that you could always add the broadcasting information in a section about that. It isn't like we could just create a separate article about the television coverage of said Stanley Cup Finals.

Template:Uw-userspacenoindex

• Template:Uw-userspacenoindex (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Now that userspace is NOINDEX'ed by default, this template message is unnecessary. — Train2104 (t • c) 23:54, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

• Keep Unfortunately the default setting can be overridden – see this current discussion. When setting a user page or subpage back to "no index", it is very useful to have this template to explain to the user what has been done: Noyster (talk), 07:54, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

The template could use a rewrite, since it's now a matter of removing __INDEX__ not adding __NOINDEX__. But given the typical use pattern of user warning templates, I'm not sure if it's accepted practice to significantly change the tone/wording/meaning of an existing template under the same name. (since indexing is now a manual decision, a "you shouldn't index this!" should probably be a little stricter) — Train2104 (t • c) 13:40, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

• Keep, but fundamentally rewrite to reflect the update and with a stricter tone per Train2104 and Noyster.--Mr. Guye (talk) 00:59, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Unnecessary and unrepresentative of the series as a whole; these templates are not used for full season-order series, as it becomes far too cramped. -- Alex 16:51, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Delete per AlexTheWhovian. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Readd to article, and subst, and delete the template - and discuss on the articles talk page (it was removed from List of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes before it was nominated for deletion here). It looks like all the numbers are sourced in the article, and IMHO it gives a better "image" of the number of viewers then the numbers in each row. Christian75 (talk) 19:33, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

@Christian75: I reiterate: the template is unrepresentative of the series as a whole; if the template was indeed expanded to display all four seasons, these templates are still not used for full season-order series, as it becomes far too cramped. -- Alex 09:32, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

• Comment: Not sure whether the template should be kept, but I am sure that the non-free File:T3 logo 2017.png should not be being used in it per WP:NFCC#9. Non-free iamges are only allowed to be used (i.e., displayed) in the article namespace in accordance with WP:NFCCP. Adding the image to a template will automatically add the file to any pages, which may not be in accordance with relevant policy. I have removed the file from the template, but it should not be added if the consensus is to keep this. Consider adding a freely licensed or public domain image instead if an image is needed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:15, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
