Template:M3 to yd3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Same function as convert template. Not used. Similar templates have already been deleted. Lightmouse (talk) 22:28, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This, I think, is the last of these "unit to unit" templates. The rest have been scrapped as being unused & redundant to {{convert}} (WP:T3). The author of this one has expressed to me his approval of deletion (WP:G7). Note the following subpages.

The result of the discussion was Speedy deleted by Jimp (talk · contribs) per WP:G7 (author, Ericleb01, agrees to deletion). {{Sup3}} is also deleted by the same arguement. JIMp talk·cont 03:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sup2 edit
Template:Sup2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hardly used. Trivial. I hope there aren't more like this. Lightmouse (talk) 22:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is not useful. Let editors discover the tools above the edit box. It's unhelpful to have half a dozen different ways of doing the same thing. JIMp talk·cont 00:38, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No, it's not used very often, but at least two articles use it and Sup3 to cut down on a tedious task, so I don't see anything wrong with keeping it. Considering that the unicode character is not supposed to be used, this is effective at cutting down on character strokes. And had I known of "half a dozen" other ways to easily accomplish this (which don't seem to exist), I would not have created the template (hence why I did). EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 18:26, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Clicking on the "links" above I found {{sup2}} used once in the main space. I thought that a conversion to square miles might be better now it's not used at all. I also got rid of the {{^3}}. Okay, a third of a dozen (these also have redirects, {{^2}} and {{^3}} (there's also {{su}} but that's a bit different)), then there's {{sup}}. If you'd know about {{sup}}, you wouldn't have created these? Can we WP:G7 them then? The irony when discussing how many keystokes these save us is the number of keystrokes we've spend discussing whether to save them. JIMp talk·cont 09:34, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And {{Sup3}} is used in another article. No, I did know about {{Sup}}; in fact it (and {{10^}}) was what inspired the original {{2}} template which was moved to this in another deletion discussion (I'm not sure why we decided not to move it to {{^2}}, which probably would be much easier to remember and even more efficient). I actually really wouldn't mind moving it to {{^2}} and {{^3}}. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 15:59, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete. Saves 4 keystrokes at the expense of needing to memorize a specific template, instead of a general rule. - Nabla (talk) 00:10, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is a button above the edit box for this purpose. By default it's   (in the "Advanced" group); with the enhanced editing toolbar disabled it's  . --Redrose64 (talk) 16:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh. Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, sure, delete it, but I wish it was much more visible. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 20:24, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It now is used on Napalm_Death#Members. Not sure why this wasn't there before.Curb Chain (talk) 07:33, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Subst & histmerge (or delete). As it used, and useful (if it is...) at a single article - Nabla (talk) 09:17, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is hard to read, does not include everyone, and is redundant to the text information in the article. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 02:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
