Template:AFC submission/draft/HD preload 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 should be discussed further at WT:AFC, as there are differences between the two templates enough to merit the distinction but clearly a TFD is not the place to have a discussion about a project-specific template.

Propose merging Template:AFC submission/draft/HD preload with Template:AFC submission/declined/HD preload.
Redundant template, should be merged to provide consistency over the AFC help desk. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 12:56, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 08:29, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the templates the only substantial differences are review of submission/review of draft tell us why you are requesting a re-review/TELL US WHY YOU ARE REQUESTING HELP and using different values for {{lafc}} which I think both give the same results. There are also some style differences with caps or no caps and different formulations, but they are very close. I don't have an opinion on what to do but I think it would have been good to notify WT:AFC especially since they won't see the TfD tag, which I have now done. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 19:25, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Trialpears: it appeared that neither Template:AFC submission/draft/HD preload nor Template:AFC submission/declined/HD preload are transcluded, and the preload links in each of the templates seem to go to WP:AFCHD, the AFC Help Desk. And a look there shows the discrepancy. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 02:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, Redundant to {{CURRENTDAYNAME}}, {{CURRENTMONTH1}}, and {{CURRENTWEEK}} magic words, respectively. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They date from a time where there was still no suhc "magic templates" in MediaWiki. They have been in wide use (even if you may have replaced them now by the magic templates). No problem for deleting now as long as there are no longer any reference to them. They are quite small however, and have consistant names with the other templates (not with "CURRENT" and taking parameters). In some cases, various names were used and were simplified later to use #time (and not even anyone of the "magic templates" (i.e. magic keywords that take the syntaxic form of a template transclusion: in my opinion these "magic templates" should not even exist in MediaWiki, only parser functions calls with names starting by "#" should exist).
But note that CURRENTWEEKOFYEAR (starting on Monday) was not the same as CURRENTWEEK (which is the ISO week number, starting on Sunday). May be this wiki decided to use only the ISO week number. verdy_p (talk) 16:13, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unused and redundant and potentially inferior in the case of {{CURRENTWEEKOFYEAR}}. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 16:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt Retaining templates which duplicate the magic words is only storing up trouble. Cabayi (talk) 19:27, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About two weeks ago I revamped the "List of killings..." pages, mainly for ease of navigation but also to avoid large blocks of article text in the template space (see a related older discussion). As such, none of these templates are used or needed any more, as I've winnowed things down to three main templates. Primefac (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. The content in these templates belongs in article space.--Tom (LT) (talk) 22:03, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Civil navigation 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. Note that I ended up deleting {{Infobox civil style}} as well since I couldn't figure out a simple way fix its dependency on the module. If someone wants to recreate it as a "switch", here are the edits where I orphaned it: [1] and [2]. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is what appears to be a fork of Module:Navbox (implementing {{Civil navigation}}) and a hard-coded style module. The former is unnecessary because the Navbox module itself can be called, and the latter is unnecessary because it's just as easy to hard-code styles in the main template. I am not adding {{Civil navigation}} and {{Infobox civil style}} to this discussion because while I do not see why we need a specific {{navbox}} wrapper, my main concern is the duplication of modules. I am not opposed to (and leave it open for discussion) the possibility of also deleting these two templates. Primefac (talk) 14:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
