Template:Mind Garage (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Doesn't navigate anything. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:32, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If someone is looking for their only album with a Wikipedia article, they can find it at the Mind Garage page just as easily. Rymatz (talk) 21:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Anime-manga (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused; {{anime and manga}}, a vertical navbox, is in use on anime and manga articles. — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:55, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Incorporates no information that isn't already found on the widely used {{anime and manga}}. Rymatz (talk) 21:35, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:All time 200px (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Seems slightly broken. Similar templates exist that are in use. — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:49, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yea, it seems that way, but i think the intention is to make it as short as possible, so they've shorten Hadean to Had'n and it looks very "crumpled", but I think the intention is to make it compact and fit in the places where it's placed. It's unused, so i don't know what instances those are.Curb Chain (talk) 06:07, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Warning User:Smith609 who created and maintains this and other templates for the display of geological timescales, which are widely used in taxoboxes all over Wikipedia, hasn't been around much lately. Under no circumstances should any of his templates be deleted until he has commented. In the past, some have appeared not to be used, but actually are in use in less obvious ways (perhaps via external tools). Peter coxhead (talk) 10:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I wouldn't go so far as to say "under no circumstances". If the guy has been notified, and doesn't choose to comment, we don't wait indefinitely. This frequently happens. I certainly hope he finds the time to comment on this one, but progress does not stop on WP if he chooses not to comment. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 18:26, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll just point out that as far as templates are concerned, User:Smith609 is not by any means a 'normal' editor. He is responsible for some very widely used templates, e.g. {{Cite doi}}. I doubt that it's that he "chooses" not to comment; see the message at the top of User_talk:Smith609. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:21, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The template can be trivially undeleted if it turns out that it has a hidden use. However, the complete lack of documentation or internal links suggests that it doesn't. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 11:40, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If a template is - as it6 seems to be the case - so far out that only one user understands it, then it is useless. - Nabla (talk) 21:01, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
