As the comments in the module state, this is redundant to Module:String. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 23:06, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: I just went ahead and moved this to Module:Sandbox/Wnt/FindAndReplace like the last one you put up. Nobody wants this; it was just an early-days code exercise. Wnt (talk) 00:40, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CBS News Personalities edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. This discussion is being closed in conjunction with this discussion as "no consensus"; while there might be no intentional "gaming" of the system, having one template receive one result (delete) and a group of templates receive a different one (no consensus) results in a contradiction between the type of template they represent. There is prejudice against renomination of this family of templates; the previous close suggested having a discussion about the performer/journalist difference, and that did not happen, so now I am mandating it - if someone wants to get this family of templates deleted, they must have some sort of discussion regarding this difference. Once this has happened, there is no issue with renomination (all at once, please, none of this one-template and one-mass-nom), linking to the relevant discussion.

As a list of television presenters, this fails WP:PERFNAV. --woodensuperman 15:52, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom Galobtter (pingó mió) 15:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please withdraw the good faith nomination... as we've gone through this before with the consensus that journalists aren't "performers" so PERNAV doesn't cover them. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any consensus at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_October_1#News_anchors_and_similar or the nomination of this that PERFNAV doesn't apply - in fact the consensus seemed to agree that PEFRNAV applied. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Previous nomination was a no-consensus close, so you cannot claim that there was consensus. In fact, as Galobtter notes, consensus did seem to be strongly in favour of deletion last time, the no consensus close seemed to be procedural more than anything, per WP:MASSNOM. WP:PERFNAV clearly applies here, as these are presenters of television broadcasts. --woodensuperman 08:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, PERFNAV covers "television/radio presenters"; these are "personalities" not journalists Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Even if they were journalists, that is no reason to keep. The same concerns for WP:PERFNAV still apply. We do not and should not have navboxes listing all journalists who work at a newspaper, magazine, etc, etc. --woodensuperman 15:53, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain how deleting this template will benefit our readers? Lepricavark (talk) 16:07, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Fb in2 mls header edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:04, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the only difference between this and the template:fb in2 header/template:fb in2 player/template:fb out2 header/template:fb out2 player series is the |us=y option. I added this to the standard template series, and updated the three pages using it, so this is no longer needed. Frietjes (talk) 15:46, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:FourTildes edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was redirect to Template:Uw-tilde. It seems no one wants this template, and given that it is currently a note about signing, redirecting to Template:Uw-tilde seems to make the most sense. No prejudice against a discussion changing the target to Template:4~, which places ~~~~ on the page. Primefac (talk) 13:25, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I am nominating this is that there is a User:FourTildes, and the existence of this template confused the bot when I attempted to add the user to Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. Is this template really necessary? Pawnkingthree (talk) 19:52, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I will note that as far as I can tell there is no issue with this template causing confusion with the user of the same name, and suspect a square/curly bracket issue.

  • Redirect to one of the other templates. Even aside from the name problem, I don't see a reason to retain three different versions of the same message. Nyttend (talk) 12:41, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Template:4~ isn't a "you didn't sign this post" warning. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:01, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
