The state templates are enough, thank you Mvcg66b3r (talk) 06:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It also fails accessibility and navbox guidelines with the little grey squares. - X201 (talk) 07:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Convert to a list in a normal article. With all the notes, it is not suitable for a template. The Banner talk 09:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So much noise in that template that it makes it harder to even understand. Even if kept, the linked templates should be removed - templates are not content and should not be linked to from content pages. They are also WP:EGG links as they don't link to the location. The slash usage is also unclear and violates MOS:SLASH. The usage of notes in a navigation template is also a sign that something is wrong there. A navigation template should be clear right away what it does and how. If you need to explain it, then it shouldn't be a navigation template (and probably also requires a citation).

@Mvcg66b3r @X201 @TheBanner @Gonnym I want to keep it but... No matter what I do or say... You're going to delete things anyways... I can't keep anything on here no matter how much time and effort I put into it... It's not the first time I add something, and somebody already (on impulse) wants to delete it... It's not at all like I'm making things up... It's just another shortcut to some pages... What's wrong with that!?!? It's just not fair!!! I could just modify it by removing the numbers and put translators and satellites in (parenthesis)... CPLANAS1985 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 (Male • T • C • IG • FB) 15:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have requested to move template to a subpage instead... CPLANAS1985 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 (Male • T • C • IG • FB) 18:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sammi Brie: Your take? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 18:43, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
😫 No matter what I do or say, you're going to delete anyways... I can't have anything on here... What's the point!?!? Do you want to grow the website or do you want to cancel people out!?!? I'm so sick and tired of having my edits reverted and deleted!!! And for the record, I'm not doing anything wrong by saying this and there is no threat... CPLANAS1985 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 (Male • T • C • IG • FB) 02:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
😡Also, you seem to disregard the hours it takes even for the smallest of edits... CPLANAS1985 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 (Male • T • C • IG • FB) 02:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For variety purposes, it would have provided additional links to other articles... Why censor me!?!? CPLANAS1985 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 (Male • T • C • IG • FB) 02:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are not trying to censor you; we simply believe the template is redundant. WP:NAVBOX states, Navigation templates are particularly useful for a small, well-defined group of articles; templates with a large number of links are not forbidden, but can appear overly busy and be hard to read and use. We already have the components of this navbox in smaller, more digestible navboxes by state, which are already in use. And remember that half our readers or more don't even see them because they do not display in mobile views. In addition to the state navboxes, the articles in question are also already tied together by category and by list in two different methods: List of ABC television affiliates (by U.S. state), List of ABC television affiliates (table).

Template:TromsFinnmark-geo-stub

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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. Izno (talk) 03:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Doesn't appear to be needed anymore because Troms og Finnmark was split back into Finnmark ({{Finnmark-geo-stub}}) and Troms ({{Troms-geo-stub}}) in January. C F A 💬 02:18, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
