Unused poorly designed map template. Can't aid in navigating through the articles. Should be left to any relevant navboxes. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:58, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this unused map-article hybrid. Template says the content should be in Nuclear power in World, but that is a red link. Gonnym (talk) 13:04, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and the topic is already better covered by Template:Jews in Greece that has all the same links for the specific topic. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:35, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How many links are in this one that's not featured in Jews in Greece? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:10, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Most of them. (t · c) buidhe 23:19, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm not seeing the need for a separate template like this. They should be included into the Jews in Greece template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:31, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, actually the Greece Holocaust template should be expanded with more content. We have similar templates for other countries. (t · c) buidhe 23:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An unused template with no direct links to any tabletop games. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This topic could have a navbox, but the current version isn't it. The navbox shouldn't mix article links and category links and it should also be more factual correct. Some of the topics listed at the "Board game" sections, are actually game mechanics which can be played in card games as well. This needs a lot of work and as the template's creator hasn't commented yet at this TfD, delete as unused and in bad condition. Gonnym (talk) 13:10, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I set up the box a while back and have yet to get around to filling out more information. I'll get around to it when I can get my hands on the source material. I don't know how long that will take, so I can't say when I'll get to it, but I won't be left empty forever. PensRule11385 (talk) 23:46, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

World Soccer is a magazine and its rankings are not notable in the truest sense that it deserves navboxes for its rankings for what they consider the greatest individuals in the sport's history. This falls under Francruft and is not needed. Nor are these awards templates despite being categorized as such, but also the information is already featured in list format on World Soccer's article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused sidebar that's not used at all currently for good article nominations. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 18:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete: This was something I made probably when I was bored, and I never really used it. Took me a while to come back to the reality that almost every single PR is for GANs (except for FACs, of which they have their own sidebar for a reason). However I never really came back to this until now. Sheesh, the embarrassment. But yeah, please delete this, and sorry for this-- I sure have learned a lot since my first year.

Unused, redlinks, and too early as we're not anywhere near 2024. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:43, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

comment the events are defined and the template is also a menu within the main page. It creates no additional work or creates any issues having this infobox or pages. In addition there is no policy against red links in infobox many have them and this unlike a lot will not remain redlinks and promotes a standardized naming protocol when created --Yachty4000 (talk) 22:15, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused templates that are not topic templates. These just link to the countries in the respective geographical divisions of Asia. And we don't each geographical region topic templates when the main continent-based topic templates cover the entire continent already. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:39, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the template coding indicates these are topic templates, and you provide the parameters to decide what topics they link to. In default mode without provided parameters, it links to countries, however it's not the only way to use the template, since, according to the documentation, you can specify the topic, just like other other topic templates. Also, there are a lot of countries in Asia, so it rather makes sense to divvy it up by region, instead of using the Asia topics template, which is just a mass of links -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[Note: I have commented out some template examples below in order to fix the PEIS expansion limit problem on the TFD page. Editors can copy the examples to their sandboxes to see how these unused templates are intended to work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:50, 21 December 2021 (UTC)][reply]

If you mean "mass of links" to include a bunch of links that are hard to navigate through the topic the template provides, then that is inaccurate. Take a look at how the main Asia topic template links to articles for a topic such as Human rights in Asia for instance. It's divided up into respective sections with clear navigation. Each region doesn't need a topic template. One template is already doing the job. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:09, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. As a passing completely unrelated note, expanding templates in Lua is relatively expensive; from what I know the module of interest in this discussion has had issues hitting the Lua timeout, so this would be an easy win for performance.

This doesn't answer the question of whether it's used, but it appears to behave correctly (it's invoked via a taxonomy template with |machine code=dagger):
  • {{Taxonomy/Saturnalia|machine code=dagger}} → †
  • {{Taxonomy/Felis|machine code=dagger}} →
It returns a dagger (the symbol for extinction) if the taxonomy template marks the taxon as extinct. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:01, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. All of the Template:Don't edit this line/doc/variants are called from taxon templates in the Template:Taxonomy/ hierarchy. Of those all but the main template, {{Don't edit this line}} itself, are all called from getTaxonInfoItem in Module:Autotaxobox. In particular, it should be noted that the code there essentially turns requests for the dagger item into an alternate rendering of the extinct item (much like the template this TfD is about does). So effectively Template:Don't edit this line dagger is unused (although it does function properly as Peter coxhead mentioned above). I see no real bugs. That said, I also see very little usefulness of the entire variant set. In a fashion similar to how getTaxonInfoItem handles dagger, it could be made to make requests for all such data items as alternative renderings of all and we could be done with all of those templates except the main one and all (although it might make more sense to make a different one for the "all" to keep; perhaps |machine code=json and then put the result through mw.text.jsonDecode to auto parse into a Lua table). Use of such to fetch the data could also be entirely dispensed with if the module code just directly parsed the content of the taxonomy templates itself (via something like mw.title.new("Template:Taxonomy"):subPageTitle(taxon):getContent()). Of course parsing general wikitext can be non-trivial. —Uzume (talk) 17:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Uzume: when I converted the core parts of the automated taxobox system to Lua – the parts that traverse the taxonomic hierarchy encoded in the taxonomy templates, I deliberately left the very bottom functionality as it was, i.e. in the wikitemplate language. Part of the reason was that there were multiple automatic taxobox templates (there are now more, currently nine), and it would require some investigation to be sure that all of them at every point go via getTaxonInfoItem. I'm also not clear why parsing the entire taxonomy template every time a single field is required would be more efficient or effective that the present use of a separate template for each field.
The automated taxobox system has developed over more than 10 years, and been constructed, modified and maintained by multiple editors. I have learnt from experience that making any change, however obvious it might appear in advance, is fraught with unexpected consequences. So as nothing is actually broken, my view is that nothing needs "fixing". Peter coxhead (talk) 14:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused templates that group together two or more templates that are being used. Don't see the necessity in grouping these templates under the ATC subject when the individual templates are already doing the job. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:17, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
