No transclusions. Superseded by sidebar at {{Nadir of American race relations}}. Merge links into that template, as appropriate, and then delete this mini-sidebar. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:33, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, no documentation, no categories, no incoming links. Template was created in mid-2020. Creator has not edited since late 2020. Looks like an abandoned experiment. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, no incoming links. Only edits were creation in 2018. This appears to be some sort of experiment that was abandoned. In the meantime, the parent template was converted to Lua in 2020. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, no incoming links. There is a better example already in the documentation, at {{Ahnentafel/doc}}, and there are additional examples at {{Ahnentafel/testcases}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, unsourced. Has existed since early 2020.

Unused template for 249% font-size – it is unusual to want text that big particularly in articles. User:GKFXtalk 17:41, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not for articles. I imported this for the userbox I created for my userpage. It's unused now but I think someone else might would need to use it like I did earlier. But, I have no issues even if it got deleted because I am not using it now. Lightbluerain (Talk | contribs) 18:02, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps it should parameterize the size it scales to -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 18:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't there an alternative that does the same? Nigej (talk) 18:24, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
{{resize}} takes a size parameter (as suggested by 65.92 above) and {{huge}} does 180% (in fact, huge looks to be very flexible). User:GKFXtalk 18:37, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This link farm does not constitute an appropriate sidebar, even if it were used at Advanced Direct Connect. If the links are really needed, which seems dubious to me, then they should be added to the "external links" section of the article. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:40, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Not clear to me what it is. Is it a sidebar? If so WP:SIDEBAR says "Finally, external links should not be included in navigation templates". Perhaps its an infobox, But an infobox "summarizes key features of the page's subject" and it certainly doesn't do that. Nigej (talk) 18:18, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continung from Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 January 4#Template:Formula One constructor timeline (1950–1979) and as noted there even earlier at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One/Archive 53#New timeline templates, these unused Formula One templates are unwanted and won't be used. Gonnym (talk) 13:51, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all per nom. Utterly confusing way of showing the information IMO We have articles like Formula One tyres and List of Formula One circuits and a template {{Formula One circuits}} which show the information in a much clearer way. Unclear to me whether they were meant to be navboxes or article content; either way they need to go. Nigej (talk) 14:19, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all – Same rationale as the earlier nomination, they are: Inaccurate, misleading, and most of all completely unnecessary, these templates aren't used anywhere and I can't conceive of a practical application for them. 5225C (talk • contributions) 00:59, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the circuit timelines as very confusing and unwieldy, and very unlikely to be used. Weak delete the tyre supplier timelines as not too bad, possibly useful (though I think there would be much better ways to present this information) but still unlikely to actually be used.

This template is basically an early attempt to have a single source for political party colors (instead of endless amount of templates), in the same manner Module:Political party does now. Since then the module has been created. The maintainers recently also brought up the issue of converting this to Lua on the talk page.

Instead of having two parallel lists, any (valid) entry not in one of the sub-pages of Module:Political party should be added and Template:Political party color redirected to Template:Party color. Gonnym (talk) 13:21, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Used in only one page where it should be subst and deleted. The amount of incoming links is from a bizarre mass spam discussion copy The Transhumanist preformed on 27 April 2018‎. Gonnym (talk) 08:45, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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 merge to Template:New discussion. With the assumption (as is usually the case) that the merge can be done for backwards compatibility and/or extant uses properly updated, there is a consensus to merge the templates. The question of whether to restrict this template to only the user talk space did not have any clear consensus (limited discussion etc) so if that is still desired please start a discussion at the template's talk page. Primefac (talk) 18:16, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:New message with Template:New discussion.
We do not need two templates doing almost precisely the same thing. I have a preference for the template using {{mbox}} (new discussion) since I am trying to remove uses of the message box class per TemplateStyles efforts. Izno (talk) 08:26, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment: while there is no emotional objection merging the two, this discussion was caused by an unwise edit to redirect New message to New discussion. This redirection broke the deployment of the redirected template. The syntax of each template has sufficient differences that a simple redirection failed. Thus there is work to be done to handle the deployment of New message on those pages that use it.
If the templates can be merged without breaking the deployment then I support the merge, else logic means that I oppose it FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 08:32, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Remove templates from any non-User page. We don't need to reinvent systems the default UI already handles. I'd also prefer it just be gone altogether, but people are picky about their user pages I guess. Article talk space on the other hand is not their own personal playground and there is no room for these. After removal add piece of code to prevent these from being reapplied later on. Gonnym (talk) 13:00, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the merge, it seems very simple. {{New message}} |1= is equal to |text= at {{New discussion}}. Gonnym (talk) 13:07, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym As long as whatever needs to be done on a user talk page is performed for the user, my opposition vanishes in the mist. Most users are template syntax illiterate. Getting it working once was "hard enough" for most of us. You are welcome to show me the header on my own user talk page im the alternate template alongside the other, or use my sandbox with pleasure (or create a subpage under my user id) and let me know.

There is nothing you need to do. If this passes then whoever implements this will take care that every usage is transferred correctly. Gonnym (talk) 19:14, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive my inexperience in this area. I will let the closing editor/admin interpret my conditional statement above. Thank you @Gonnym. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 14:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above are unused Sweden political party shading templates. Gonnym (talk) 08:20, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all these are major current parties in Sweden. Why aren't the templates in use anywhere? --Trialpears (talk) 17:17, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because Swedish editors know that shading makes horrible tables. Gonnym (talk) 17:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
