Template:Semi-active (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I am recommending that this template be renamed to {{Semi-active WikiProject}}. The current name is ambiguous as to its purpose and should be clarified. Kumioko (talk) 22:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

I would like to recommend that this template be renamed to {{Inactive WikiProject}}. I think the template in its current name is very ambiguous and needs to be clarified. Kumioko (talk) 22:46, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Suicide in the world (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Db-redirnone-notice (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not a particularly helpful notification. The vast majority of G8 redirnone candidates are redirects to pages that are deleted. The creator cannot do anything about this. Using such a notification as this one suggests that the creator has a responsibility to ensure all the redirects he or she creates are continually valid and operable. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think it is a good idea to notify somebody when we are speedy deleting a redirect they created. I have adjusted the template so it is more of a notification like Template:Db-nowcommons-notice rather than a warning. Yoenit (talk) 10:11, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Without wanting to sound argumentative, why do you think it is a good idea to do so? To take the axiom "Redirects are cheap" in another light, I don't think creators generally get especially sentimental about redirects, especially dead ones. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:42, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Most of them won't care, but there will be plenty that do. To turn the question around: Why do you think we should not be allowed to notify them? Yoenit (talk) 16:27, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Boilerplate notices are annoying. We should be careful not to overuse them. Deleting redirects which are broken anyway is not the sort of thing that we really need to go posting big notices on people's talk pages for. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 20:00, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, notifications certainly aren't pointless, but for broken redirects it's a bit much. --The Evil IP address (talk) 14:20, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per "the evil IP address", notifying for broken redirects does seem to be a bit much. Frietjes (talk) 15:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Troll Series (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is not needed and if not actually malformed, not exactly a well-styled template. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The template is not particularly useful, and its current transclusions are bad usages as well. -Odie5533 (talk) 16:28, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused citation template. — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This was used as a reference for SR 359: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=State_highways_serving_Virginia_state_institutions&diff=prev&oldid=82368781 At some point SR 359 was moved to List of primary state highways in Virginia shorter than one mile but the history was not.

Delete Template is no longer used, and not useful either. It is shorter to copy/paste the code than it is to remember the template's name. --Odie5533 (talk) 16:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Template is no longer used and the information is perhaps better displayed using wikitables which change depending on what information is pertinent to a given page. --Odie5533 (talk) 16:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Gone away. Doesn't look like this day of TFD will have much of a backlog in 7 days' time, at this rate. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

User message that implies creating an account is compulsory, or editing as an IP is frowned upon. — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:01, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
