This template was created by a sockpuppet and also is not being used. Liz Read! Talk! 23:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • No opinion on whether this should be deleted, but was created by a sockpuppet is not true, as the user wasn't blocked under any account until 3 days after this template was created. is not used isn't necessary true either, since this sort of template is often substituted. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:06, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a heading suppression parameter to the main Template:Happy New Year fireworks. Let's redirect this fork back to there (or wrapperify if we must). {{u|Sdkb}} talk 07:34, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Empty-warn-deletion with Template:Db-nocontext-deleted.
In a previous templates for discussion the argument was keep because the redirect target was Db-nocontext-notice. The original redirect target was for general notices, whilst the new one is for letting a person know about page deletions. Similar to spam-warn-deletion, this template is unecessary and redundant.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Propose merging Template:Spam-warn-deletion with Template:Db-spam-deleted.
Unecessary and redundant. Most administrators do not use the Spam-warn-deletion template anymore to notify people that their article has been deleted as advertising or promotion. Please redirect to the db-spam-deleted template. Train of Knowledge (Talk) 22:16, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have never understood the argument "let's get rid of this because not many people use it." If anyone ever uses it, even rarely, then keeping it serves some useful purpose, and getting rid of it confers no advantage. If, on the other hand, nobody ever uses it, then it makes no difference at all whether it is kept or not. So we have two possibilities: either getting rid of it will it confer a disadvantage, or getting rid of it will make no difference. That being so, why would anyone want to get rid it?
