June 16[edit]

Template:Escape page link from within[edit]

Unused template that does what Template:Delink does. Gonnym (talk) 06:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is currently used, at the ANI header (just sporadically, so not showing up currently), as well as somewhere else I'm forgetting and don't have time to find at the moment (I'm on mobile with limited internet). It is not the same as {{delink}} — please reread the documentation. Delink won't help you for a parameter value that has the linking in the parent template. There's plausible use in the future, and a suitably strong warning in the documentation that in most cases you don't really want to use it, so overall no reason to delete. I suggest withdrawing the nomination, Gonnym. Sdkb talk 14:39, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've looked at the code at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Header. Am I missing something or was this entire template created just because you wanted to add a silly smile to the header ([1])? Because without {{4-1}}, the code works fine:
    {{if April Fools|{{Spoken Wikipedia|date=2007-02-20|Wikipedia Administrators' Noticeboard Slash Incidents.ogg}}}}
    If that is the sole reason for that, I'm still sticking with the delete rational and also remove the smiley. Gonnym (talk) 15:04, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Gonnym, please do not remove the documentation that explains this template's purpose (and which I just referenced above) in the midst of this TfD. I created this template because there are various circumstances in which someone might want to use a template field that is normally wrapped in a link, but not want a link in a particular niche circumstance. The linked example is one — this template allows the {{4-1}} (which is better characterized as the mandatory humor disclosure than a "silly smiley") to be added — but there are others. I have indeed used this template in other circumstances (which were since resolved, thus why it's no longer transcluded elsewhere), which I can try to remember and dig up if you or others are curious. The example in the documentation with {{redirect}} is also only quasi-hypothetical. But it's somewhat immaterial, as the overall use case is laid out clearly in the documentation, and WP:TFD#REASONS is very clear that being unused is not sufficient rationale for deletion unless the template also has no likelihood of being used in the future.

    I removed the "documentation" as it isn't documentation, but you telling a irrelevant story. Documentation should be short and to the point. So far you aren't adding any usages other than the one at the header template which isn't really needed. Gonnym (talk) 07:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Template:Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad[edit]

Navbox with two blue links. DB1729talk 23:46, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has two links in the body. That does not justify a navigation box. --DB1729talk 11:55, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Piccadilly Page[edit]

WP:Picacadilly is about to get deleted as it is literally self serving so this should be deleted too. xq 23:21, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Huang Xiaoyun[edit]

Empty navbox. DB1729talk 22:28, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
