Comment: See my comments on Ararat and Swan Hill in the separate nom below or at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 20#Template:Ararat V/Line rail service. By way of those comments, the Echuca service can technically be seen as an extension of the Bendigo service, but it can be confusing to readers as stopping patterns may differ between these services. Fork99 (talk) 21:53, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Not because of my comments above, but because V/Line's other lines, including the Template:Geelong V/Line rail service and Template:Seymour V/Line rail service and their associated templates with "longer-distance extensions" of said lines haven't been nominated (i.e. Warrnambool, Shepparton, Albury), as for consistency's sake, these templates should be similar to each other in scope. These templates seem to be transcluded in their respective main articles now. Fork99 (talk) 22:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ararat V/Line rail service (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Swan Hill V/Line rail service (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Replaced with Template:Ballarat V/Line rail service. Gonnym (talk) 08:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The Ballarat template was edited full of inaccuracies for the Ararat service, and the Swan Hill template is not replaced by the Ballarat template, Swan Hill services do not run on the Ballarat line at all! On the Bendigo article, the Swan Hill template was lazily replaced with a template for the physical Piagnil railway line, *not* representative of the Swan Hill passenger service whatsoever. I've fixed these templates back to how they always were until these random, senseless edits happened to them. Oppose, oppose, oppose. Граймс (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Ararat services do travel between Melbourne and Ararat via Ballarat and thus can somewhat be seen as an extension of the Ballarat service, but the Swan Hill service travels between Melbourne and Swan Hill via Bendigo, and should be seen as an extension of the Bendigo service NOT the Ballarat service. However, all of these services are operated and branded separately to each other by the operator V/Line. Because the Swan Hill train goes via Bendigo and not via Ballarat as incorrectly stated per nom, the Swan Hill template shouldn't be considered for deletion in this nom. Fork99 (talk) 21:46, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, it may be confusing to use the Bendigo or Ballarat templates to add on services that travel further afield (i.e. Swan Hill, Ararat) as the stopping patterns of stations can differ between these services. Fork99 (talk) 21:48, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Curlie

Template:Curlie (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Curlie is dead. The static pages such as "About" or "Privacy policy" still work, but any of the dynamic content, i.e. the directory itself is no longer working. Websites such as isitdownrightnow.com report it down long term.

Per WP:ELNO #16 we should avoid links to "Sites that are not reliably functional or not likely to continue being functional." That's Curlie.

Also the database has long been overtaken by spammers and ceased to be of use.

Deleting the template is preferred to removing it from multiple articles manually. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:18, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it was rare that Curlie contents were useful anyway, it was mostly just local business spam. Canterbury Tail talk 12:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the meantime, could we please get an admin or template editor to blank the template? There's no value in sending readers to a non-existent website. Also, pinging Jmg38, who has been removing these manually. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:38, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the website works for me here and all contents seem accessible? ~ nicolas (talk) 11:13, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per discussion at the template's talk page. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Template talk:Curlie#There? Not there? Intermittent?, including: Is there value in having an external link that needs users to "hope for the best"? Is it dependent on the time of day, due to maintenance or overload of the Curlie website? If so, should there be warnings built into the template, like "use at own risk" or "if you get a '504 Gateway Time-out' message, just wait a few days and try again"?. Not logical, per WP:ELNO #16.
