Unused license template; doubt anyone will ever use it, but if they do, this is replaceable by {{OTRS permission|2009010310014167}} and {{GFDL}} FASTILY 22:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. I appreciate the problem this is trying to solve, but consensus is that this is too confusing to be a good solution. Happy to userfy on request.Opabinia regalis (talk) 03:46, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is essentially documentation that does not do what the name implies. The usage I have seen is people apparently thinking that putting {{wikitable}} at the start of the table syntax will create the table header. As for the content, it's redundant to Help:Tables. Primefac (talk) 14:37, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Formerly, during 2005-2010, {wikitable} was a different template which, in fact, set table header styles. -Wikid77 (talk)

  • Delete, if this is intended to be helpful as a concise means of showing how tables are made there is probably a way to do it that does not include putting it in template space. It looks very helpful to me, but template space is not the place for it. Perhaps userfy for the time being? It seems too useful to simply throw entirely away...

  • Delete. Far more likely to hurt than help due to the demonstrated instances where this caused confusion. ~ Rob13Talk 00:49, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unused "help" templates redundant to mw:Help:ParserFunctions. Primefac (talk) 15:23, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The templates package help-text for screen width and multi-window operation of mobile phones as a physical reality and not a display option of a /doc page, but rather a separate page format. -Wikid77 (talk) 05:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

unused and duplicates United States presidential election in Alaska, 2016#Statewide Results. note that it appears the same is true for all the other 2016XYGen templates in Category:United States 2016 presidential election templates, which I have added as well.

  • delete, record label templates are generally deleted since they tend to not have much left after you remove the artists. in this case, the related links duplicate links in Template:KJIVA, and if those are removed, there really isn't anything left.

Doesn't pass the five-link minimum test suggested by WP:NENAN. Most of the links are red, and no articles have ever been written for them (there aren't even log entries saying such articles once existed but were deleted). Even if these pages were created, this navbox seems useless for navigational purposes; it's called "Types of furanochromones" but "Furanochromones" is an entire subset of the navbox. One member of the navbox exists in its own little row, and a brief skim shows that the term "furanochromone" doesn't exist in the article for glycoside and likewise for the other way around. The two seem, from my perspective as a chemistry outsider, unrelated, but even if they were related, a navbox seems useless for connecting them, since it would seem to be basic information mentioned on both articles in blurbs that included wikilinks. If the second row were cut having been deemed irrelevant, the top row would simply be redundant to Category:Furanochromones.

Unused, aside from a single archived discussion where it would not be difficult to decipher what the compound is chemically since it's attached to the talk page for sodium bicarbonate whose formula is the same with an added Na. We don't allow article content to be stored this way anyway; formulae such as these are easily written in article space. No need for a template.
