The result of the discussion was no consensus. ✗plicit 01:29, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Finance ministers of Russia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Finance ministers of RSFSR (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Finance ministers of the Soviet Union (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All three templates should be merged on the basis of Template:Finance ministers of Russia. It should be a single template of RSFSR – Soviet Union – Russian Federation finance ministers. It will ease navigation too. I hope that someone will do that, because I don't know how to merge templates. MarcusTraianus (talk) 09:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose All different nations and entities. No real reason outside supposed ease for navigation which is a non-reason to merge any templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

Used once... in 2012. Clearly not something that is needed any more; recommend subst before deletion to preserve the archive. Primefac (talk) 19:10, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was used many more than one time (it's used over 250 times on Portal:Speculative fiction/Upcoming/Archives/2012), but I agree it's not been used for at least 12 years, so subst and then delete. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:13, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd also be fine with moving it into portal space. Perhaps Portal:Speculative fiction/Psf or something similar? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why not just move it into portal space like so many other portal components? Not opposed to deletion and it shouldn't be in template space but a move seems like the simplest way to do that while preservingthe archives. Trialpears (talk) 14:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Commnet Perhaps portal space may be the right place to move it for preservation purposes. If not, subst and delete will still be a way of preserving the material. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:13, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The argument about moving it to portal space does sound helpful, but then we need to remember it is used on only 1 single page for a single icon. It's not like it's going to continue being used and to be honest, it should never have been used in the first place per MOS:ICON. Gonnym (talk) 11:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

However, if this is kept, then transclude at Portal:Speculative fiction/Upcoming/Archives/2010 and Portal:Speculative fiction/Upcoming/Archives/2011. Gonnym (talk) 11:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:OrgSynth preps (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused and broken (seemingly unfixable). Template's sole role is to generate a link to search-results at a resource that does not appear to have allowed direct linking to search-results in over a decade. There was one transclusion, which I removed; there are a handful of hardcoded links to the URL target but they do not appear to be subst'ed versions of this template and I see no docs that recommend using this template.

Template:Numbered routes in Rhode Island (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Per Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 April 1 and other precedents, these have been considered redundant to both Numbered routes in Rhode Island and Category:Numbered routes in Rhode Island for quite some time. Some 19 of these navboxes have been deleted over the years as listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Precedents#Highway system navboxes. Additionally, by actively deploying them, they distort Special:WhatLinksHere for any entry in the box because they all now link to each other. Imzadi 1979 → 01:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This template helps users move between each route with only one click. Several Interstate Highways have navigation boxes. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:39, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Interstate Highways have navboxes to their related routes that they intersect, thus they're already linked in the real world and in the article. Rhode Island Route 122 does not connect to Rhode Island Route 238 in the real world (for one example), and yet they're both linking to each other now because of this navbox. That distorts and somewhat destroys the utility of Special:WhatLinksHere/Rhode Island Route 122 because everything now links to everything else in this set of 61 articles.

Numbered routes in Rhode Island provides greater context to each article if a reader of Route 122 is looking for another route to read about, while the navbox contains no context other than being a list of links. The extra click to get that context is worth that minimal effort. Imzadi 1979 → 01:52, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In musical ensemble navigation boxes, some songs in the template do not connect in real life to other songs/albums in the same document (which is sometimes the case with many items in a navigation box). The "utility of Special:WhatLinksHere/Rhode Island Route 122" is irrelevant. Template {{Simon Property Group}} was created, and it was discussed that it should be kept, because users can access other facilities with only one click. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. These navboxes fit the usual criteria of navboxes. They have a topic, which has an article, and there are enough links to navigate between, but not too many to be unhelpful. Now regarding this specific usage, since these pages seem to have zero or just this navbox, I don't find this addition to be overwhelming on the page. Regarding the context issue, the context is quite clear, it's a numbered route in Rhode Island. Anything else should be explained in the article. Gonnym (talk) 11:44, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
