Template:Made-up (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

As well as issues with civility, this template seems to be redundant to Template:Hoax and Template:Disputed. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism of articles (and pieces of articles) is necessary for the proper functioning of Wikipedia. From time to time, people who attempt to push fringe ideas into Wikipedia, while attempting to remove criticism of those ideas, claim that criticizing those ideas constitutes incivility, or even a personal attack on the people pushing them. Sometimes this claim gets traction among admins. In a small way, this template, by its very existence, helps protect an activity vital for maintaining and improving the quality of Wikipedia; it provides cover for those who don't necessarily want to go around yelling "bollocks!", but would like to help keep Wikipedia from treating utter nonsense as established fact.

Redirecting this to a speedy deletion template would be a far more mature approach. It is a very good thing that the project has recently matured to the point where childish incivility is no longer tacitly accepted so long as it's directed at the right people.

Template:Sekret Uspekha (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Orphaned single-use template (infobox). Its sole use was subst'ed into the article Sekret Uspekha. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Can't think of any other potential uses for it. A single-use template is unnecessary, Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 15:24, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Instead of having a bunch of template code in the article's edit box why not keep this template and transclude it instead. Infoboxes aren't meant to be subst'd anyway. And so what if it's only used once as long as it serves a useful purpose. Afaik there's no guideline that says templates MUST be used in multiple articles. -- œ 04:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as it is single use. Having a separate page to house the infobox doesn't seem necessary here, as subst'ing does the same thing. —Airplaneman02:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This isn't an infobox. It is a navbox formatted in the shape of an infobox. An infobox summarizes information about the subject. This box gives a list of links to (mostly non-existent) articles about people who participated in the show. (Compare {{Infobox television}} with this box to see how different a real infobox is from this.) It shouldn't even be subst'ed, although it appears that was already done. --RL0919 (talk) 21:00, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Redundant to {{eqm}} and harder to use due to having a special character in the name. RL0919 (talk) 20:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Not useful - the template supplies the character of its name as an entity, but one has to type the character itself in order to call the template. Used extensively in one page - I am unsure why these uses could not be replaced with the character itself. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
