Thoughts on adding Template:parameter subst to all of the /par templates
I have been working with a small group of editors to reduce the size of Wikipedia:Database reports/Unused templates. We have so far reduced the number of non-stub templates on that report from 12,000 to 7,000 in a couple of months. About 400 of the remaining untranscluded templates are /par templates in Category:Parameter shared content templates. I do not have an easy way to exclude a whole category from the report, but {{transclusionless}}, which I have added to {{parameter subst}}, will keep templates from showing up on the report.
Do you have any objections to the addition of {{parameter subst}} to the /par templates in that category? I am willing to do it manually if necessary, lacking any better tool, unless you know of a better way. Also, if you can think of a better way to reach the goal of having these templates removed from the report, I am all ears. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:12, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: All the parameter subtemplates are listed at Category:Parameter shared content templates. I will start adding Template:Parameter subst to these subtemplates. You may help if you wish. Thanks for helping with this. Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 05:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

![Notice](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article Index of Suriname-related articles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This type of list can be considered depecrated, per this, this, this, this, this, this and this AFD - and now also this and this AFD.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, I have a question. Is University Park any longer a CDP? As far as I can see, there is no Census data for 2020. Has the place merged with another one for Census purposes? Thank you in advance for your reply. Regards, Dionysos1988 (talk) 13:14, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Dionysos1988: University Park is named the University CDP, Florida, the same name as the CDP in Orlando County. Why the Census Bureau gives the same name to CDPs in the same state is beyond me. We have two Twin Lakes CDPs here in Colorado. You can find the information for the CDPs at the State of Florida Census Designated Places and Florida Quick Facts.

Hello Buaidh, I wanted to reach out to you after you decided to withdraw the FLC for Territorial evolution of Colorado. I want you to know that even though the FLC isn't proceeding, your work is very much appreciated. The article is well-written and well-formatted; it's clear a lot of work went into it.

I've noticed that you move content between pages a lot by copying and pasting. Please remember when doing so to at minimum leave an edit summary that links to where the content originated, along the lines of "copied content from [[Foo]]". This makes it much easier for editors to follow the history of the content and where it originated and is required for attribution. Please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia. Also, in reference to the above, remember that using WP:Articles for creation is optional; all new articles are patrolled regardless. Please let me or another editor know if you are unsure about procedures for moving content around between pages and we'd be happy to assist. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 17:14, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

An editor has requested for List of populated places in Colorado to be moved to another page. Since you had some involvement with List of populated places in Colorado, you might want to participate in the move discussion (if you have not already done so).
Copying within Wikipedia
It looks like you are still copying and pasting content between pages in main space without attributing where the content came from, according to WP:Copying within Wikipedia, an issue I raised with you in June here on your talk page. Specifically, Population history of Colorado counties began with content copied from List of Colorado counties, and Population history of Colorado municipalities was originally copied from List of Colorado municipalities. Even though you are the primary content creator in these cases, you are not the sole editor involved in these pages, and copying content with an edit summary like "Create new list article" does not provide attribution to those who contributed to the version being copied and is a violation of copyright. It also makes it difficult for other editors to follow the history of the content being reused. At minimum, please leave an edit summary along the lines of "Starting new list article with content copied from List of Colorado counties". Mdewman6 (talk) 00:01, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Mdewman6: The Population history of Colorado municipalities was split off from the List of municipalities in Colorado to streamline the original article and provide additional historical population data for those who are interested. Please see Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of municipalities in Colorado/archive1, Wikipedia:Peer review/List of municipalities in Colorado/archive1, and Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of municipalities in Colorado/archive2. I maintain a substantial offline database of information about these topics from which I generate tables. Some material has been duplicated to get the new article started. The new article is not yet finished. I'll post a Template:Construction to notify users. I would greatly appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of municipalities in Colorado/archive2.
- Likewise, The Population history of Colorado counties was split off from the List of counties in Colorado to streamline the original article and provide additional historical population data for those who are interested. These articles are also not yet finished. I may also create a spin-off article for the List of census-designated places in Colorado, although we have not yet decided to do this.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Template:List of populated places in Colorado navbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_April_1#Template:List_of_populated_places_in_Colorado_navbox. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:58, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
