Template:Verifiedbadge (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Created by a user blocked for spamming, to use in his autobiographical article (since deleted). Clearly this is of no use to Wikipedia, but I wasn't able to find a suitable criterion for speedy deletion. Un assiolo (talk) 19:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Seconda Categoria (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template was only transcluded in Seconda Categoria; it was likely originally meant to link pages of all the regional tournaments in this league (which do not have Wikipedia pages), but it only links to the names of the regions. Not useful. Broc (talk) 13:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. No prejudice against renomination if it is still unused (outside of the template space) in ~6 months. Primefac (talk) 23:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User18 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions or incoming links. Created in 2021. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No user template has similar or more expansive contents than this one. In particular, it is the only one that links to Special:AbuseLog and Special:Log/block. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just fixed the broken unnamed parameter. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:48, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Also, because it's one of the only ones able to easily cross-link a user from a Wikimedia sister project (the other is {{Userxx}}). It was created to support linking users involved in cross-wiki issues, which admittedly don't come up that often, but it a big time-saver when it does. It looks like I must have forgotten about it when the time came to use it, so ironically, this Tfd has reminded me. There are not a ton of users who are interested in or know how to deal with cross-wiki issues, so it would be helpful to keep this around for that purpose. Maybe it needs a rename, to highlight the cross-wiki nature of it, and if someone could suggest a good name for it, I'd support that. (as creator) Mathglot (talk) 02:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Evidently nobody cares about whatever virtues are being extolled here because this has remained unused for years. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This template now has transclusions, apparently because of this edit. It does not appear to be used anywhere except for in this list of many similar templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. We don't need this many user templates, and if the functionality were actually desirable someone would use it. It hasn't been. Izno (talk) 15:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'll try to dig a bit more. I believe this template was created to allow pages to contain very large numbers of userboxes without falling over. It may on the other hand have been to deal with slightly tendentious categories. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 16:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Delete: One of the pages this is used on is totally broken even with this template, one of the pages this is used on doesn't need it given the apparent purpose. {{suppress categories}} is available for category suppression. Izno (talk) 15:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cat

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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:Category link. Izno (talk) 15:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cat (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Category link (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Cat with Template:Category link.
{{Cat}} has the option for a "category:" prefix (i.e. {{cat|stubs}} and {{cat|Category:stubs}} have the same output: Category:Stubs), but otherwise this template just has fewer features than {{Category link}}. {{Category link}} does not accept the category prefix ({{Category link|Category:Stubs}} becomes Category:Stubs), but does allow for various options. They should be combined. House Blaster (talk · he/they) 00:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Template:Category link to Template:Cat as an inferior duplicate. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 02:01, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I could've made it more clear in my nomination, but {{Category link}} has numerous options which {{Cat}} lacks, such as |count=, |count_type=, and the ability to "pipe" links ({{category link|X1|X2}} becomes X2) (you can read more on at Template:Category link/doc). House Blaster (talk · he/they) 02:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as both do the same thing. Gonnym (talk) 09:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or reverse merge as both do the same thing. Unless someone has other criteria it seems reasonable to keep the one with the most features, as HouseBlaster says. I am not sure how the merge will technically impact the current usage of the template, hopefully there are solutions for that. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:16, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As HouseBlaster mentioned in an above comment, {{Category link}} has the ability to pipe links, which is incredibly useful (I've personally used it extensively on my saved links page). If the templates are merged, this functionality should stay. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 17:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update: because the ability to optionally include a category prefix at {{Category link}} would be a good idea regardless of the outcome of this discussion, I have gone ahead and added that functionality to the sandbox. The sandbox version calls a new subtemplate, {{Category link/core}}, which has the added benefit of eliminating multiple calls to the WP:EXPENSIVE PAGESINCAT magic word. If this merge goes ahead, we just need to sync the main template with the sandbox and redirect {{cat}} to {{category link}}. House Blaster (talk · he/they) 22:32, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support updated proposal above. Seems to include all functationality without making usage more complicated and seems unlikely to break anything. MClay1 (talk) 06:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Update {{Category link}} to cope with any extra prefix, then redirect {{Cat}} to {{Category link}}. (Maybe check {{Cls}} and {{Cls}} too?) — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 16:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the longer name, with the short name as a redirect. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
