Following from the deletion of the unused batch here, the above are all deprecated (43 of which are also unused) IPA templates which should be replaced with {{IPA|lang code}}. --Gonnym (talk) 12:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. For some reason this redirect nomination went through TfD unintentionally. (non-admin closure) Utopes (talk / cont) 20:34, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The ellipsis in the middle of the word seems to make this an implausible search term. Admittedly, Titin is known for its extremely long scientific name, but utilizing exactly the first 41 characters, followed by an ellipsis plus the remaining 10 characters, does not seem to be very plausible way of searching.

Text-only template. No foreseeable use with it's current content. Can possibly be redirected to Template:Start and end dates --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The BS-templates, including Template:BS-overlap were deleted. The note left on this template page in 2013 does not make anymore sense (if it ever did). Gonnym (talk) 10:27, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unused other than in a few very old user sandboxes and talk pages. Value should be subst and the template deleted. Gonnym (talk) 10:22, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced this tmplate with usages of Template:WikiProject Women in Green in the talk page like all other banners do. Gonnym (talk) 07:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: this is a notice for the subject page and is needed to populate other categories, which have now been emptied. You should have discussed this or waited for the discussion to conclude before orphaning the template. I will revert this for now. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:20, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A template with ~10 transclusions does not need any significant treatment and WP:BOLD is perfectly fine. That said, your revert was probably the right choice there. However, creating a template with zero documentation and no indication of all of its features isn't helpful. The category text for example is completely inappropriate in a non-talk page, as it doesn't say anything about the category, but about why it was created, which should be (and after my edit, is) handled in the talk page.
I'm also not sure that a template at all is really needed here as it seems very overkill for something straightforward. Gonnym (talk) 10:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The template produces a description such as "This category contains articles which were created or improved during the Women and the Environment GA edit-a-thon hosted by the Women in Green project in July 2022." How is this inappropriate and how could it be improved? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:40, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Feel free to nominate {{Rugby World Cup pool stage key}} for deletion if there is a problem with accessibility. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 14:28, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unused table legend templates. Gonnym (talk) 18:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for context, these templates became unused after these edits by User:Frietjes:
—⁠andrybak (talk) 03:27, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What if Template:2011 Rugby World Cup pool stage key was moved to {{Rugby World Cup pool stage key}}, and a parameter for the next year was added? Used as {{Rugby World Cup pool stage key|2015}} ... {{Rugby World Cup pool stage key|2027}}. —⁠andrybak (talk) 03:33, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Like so: Special:Diff/1179133971. The parameter could even be calculated automatically using template {{title year}} plus four. —⁠andrybak (talk) 03:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
seems reasonable to me, or we just show the qualification results in the table, like they are shown in 2011 Rugby World Cup Pool A, which is better for accessibility (doesn't require the ability to see color). Frietjes (talk) 14:32, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Frietjes' version since it also takes into account accessability. Gonnym (talk) 06:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
