February 1[edit]

Template:Template shortcut[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) below. 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 Convert. {{Template shortcut}} is to be turned into a wrapper template for module:shortcut. (non-admin closure)MJLTalk 17:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Template shortcut with Template:Shortcut.
Why have two similar templates when we could just have one template that changes depending on the namespace? JsfasdF252 (talk) 21:19, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox ununennium isotopes[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) below. 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 delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:44, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNDUE and WP:CRYSTAL. After I saw this edit, it turns out that these rarely-viewed isobox templates include only single sets of predictions for arguably arbitrary isotopes. Neither element 119 nor element 121 have been discovered, so all isotopes remain hypothetical, and there is a wide range of predictions for a wide range of possible isotopes. Until these elements are observed, there is no way to keep an isobox that is not blank but does not give undue weight to one prediction over any others, so I propose deletion until they are discovered. (I am not including the isobox for element 120 in this nomination because it has an unconfirmed report of discovery, so for that, there is usable content not in violation of these policies.)

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Cleanup rewrite. Primefac (talk) 00:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Rewrite section with Template:Cleanup rewrite.

The standard template, Template:Cleanup rewrite, has the ability to tag the rewrite as for a section only, so this template is unnecessary. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 07:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete; deleted by Fastily (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) AnomieBOT 04:06, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think for something like this it would be better to just use the general block template or have a block-multiple template for this. Having a more specific block template is a bit unnecessary. Aasim (talk) 02:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To add on, I think this template was created without consensus. Aasim (talk) 02:09, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it's {{uw-ewblock}} but slightly more specific, I don't see a particular need for it, if an admin feels the need to block specifically for POV-pushing and edit warring together they can use a custom block rationale on uw-ewblock. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:58, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a point for this template, way too specific. The block reason is even very vague and confusing. I think just citing the appropriate policies without mentioning "TikTok" would be better, so this template should be deleted. Aasim (talk) 02:05, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as excessively specific and unnecessary. If I'm blocking someone for this infernal TikTok meme, WP:NOTHERE works just fine. While the creation of block templates is not something restricted to administrators, I would expect the creation of block templates to at least be in response to administrative need - that is, an administrator saying "I keep handing out blocks for (reason) but there isn't really a template for that, could someone whip one up?" rather than a user creating block templates on their own initiative and hoping an administrator will decide to use it. GeneralNotability (talk) 03:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:DENY. We shouldn't recognize that they came from TikTok, as that would just encourage them to vandalize even more. Just treat them as another regular vandal. --pandakekok9 (talk) 07:56, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as only serving to give a strangely specific and time-limited block rationale that would be better served by {{uw-nothereblock}}. See also Template:Uw-ttnonnotable1, a corresponding user warning series; it might also need similar scrutiny to this template. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300.

And now I'm afraid I'll get blocked. Shinyeditbonjour. 15:54, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think you will be blocked unless if your alternate account is actively being used to violate policy. I generally see alt accounts as good for testing or good for editing different topic areas or for better security, but I think it is important that they are disclosed and that it is best to stick with one account.
And about templates, I think they should be created with consensus. For example, consider discussing your block template at Wikipedia talk:Template index/User talk namespace. Something to consider for the future. Aasim (talk) 17:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Originally nominated for speedy deletion by @Angryskies with the reason "Article no longer exists" FASTILY 22:54, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete It was making a mess of the election result tables on the two articles that used it, I have now changed both so that the tables don't break if the party has a colour template but doesn't have a corresponding article. It's a nice shade of turquoise though! PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 22:30, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Article may not exist, but template appears to still be in use. More discussion then?

The result of the discussion was move. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and not sure where it would be used Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 14:37, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The line is part of the Proastiakos network, where the template is now used. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 16:13, 7 January 2021 (UTC) Delete {{Oinoi–Chalcis railway diagram}} (created August 2019 vs. April 2009) instead. Photo and diagram are now in the Oinoi–Chalcis railway article. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 17:26, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since {{Inoi-Chalkis Line}} is indeed older, I think it's best to delete {{Oinoi–Chalcis railway diagram}} and move {{Inoi-Chalkis Line}} to that title, which is in line with the article titles Oinoi–Chalcis railway, Oinoi railway station and Chalcis railway station.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting this mainly because the other template was deleted, so there's nothing to merge.
