• Template:Swiss populations ref 2017 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions. This template has been orphaned by edits like this one and this one. I don't know why Tobyc75 decided to replace the source 20+ times instead of changing it in a single template, but there may be something I do not understand about how these templates work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I actually had nothing to do with this template, I think it was intended to solve a problem with the same source appearing multiple times on a page. But with the sources being named in the population template, I think that problem was solved making this template pointless.Tobyc75 (talk) 18:33, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Swiss cantonal elections (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions. This is essentially a list article in the wrong namespace, in the shape of a navbox. It is linked from {{Swiss elections}}, a navbox, which means that we have 200+ cross-namespace links at the bottom of articles. This has potential as an article, because many of the linked articles exist at de.WP; I think it should be draftified or userfied with the goal of turning it into a sourced article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:06, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. This template appears to be superfluous to the set of templates it was supposed to accompany, and its documentation does not explain how it might fit in to the family. List of world records in swimming shows records that have been tied using a simple "=" character, which seems easier than remembering to use a dedicated template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused medal icon templates that just transclude a file image of the gold, silver, and bronze medals, which are transcluded across multiple articles on Wikipedia. This template is not necessary for such an action. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:52, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was meaning to nominate the entire Category:Medal icon templates myself. I find that the these templates, with their extremely small icon (which also probably fails accessibility with its current color contrast) and which requires a tooltip in order to identify what part of the world the medal belongs to, to be a bad templates. In any page where there is a medal, the tournament itself would give the context needed and Template:BlankGold, Template:BlankSilver, and Template:BlankBronze would be enough. Gonnym (talk) 07:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding that I oppose leaving these behind as redirects. Gonnym (talk) 09:27, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I've created these templates after finding the 3 Australian medal files, in order to curate them in Category:Medal icon templates and make them more accessible. The main Justification for having this kind of templates, in my eyes, is to ease uniform edit. Also, the templates have the advantage that while hovering over them with the mouse a description appears, helping with MOS:COLOR's mandate to "Ensure that color is not the only method used to communicate important information.". I also Strongly oppose to Gonnym's broader deletion proposal, but that isn't in the scope of this discussion.
In conclusion: Keeping the {{Aus1}}, {{Aus2}}, {{Aus3}} templates are not a hill I would die on. It can help future editors access these 3 image files and goes along better with WP:COLOR than a "naked" icon file. If we look at the templates as mere redirects to the image files, we could also take into account the WP:CHEAP suggestion that "Redirects are cheap. Redirects take up minimal disk space and use very little bandwidth. Thus, it doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around.". CLalgo (talk) 08:32, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Complying with MOS:COLOR while violating MOS:NOHOVER isn't helpful. Gonnym (talk) 09:26, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good argument, but for a different discussion. As the proposal is for to remove Template:Aus1 while leaving File:Gold medal australia.svg for use, the argument is irrelevant to our discussion as the template does to improve the accessibility of the image file. CLalgo (talk) 21:20, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The trouble with your argument is that it implies that we should provide some sort of wrapper like these for all the countless images that exists, to improve accessibility should they be used without explanation. In reality there's an onus on editors using images to explain them without hovering. If they can't (and the nature of the image isn't obvious) then they shouldn't be using them. Nigej (talk) 18:58, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We wouldn't, as WP:ALLORNOTHING clearly states. Keeping one template of a kind doesn't mean a similar one should be created for all that kind.
Moreover, WP:TFD#REASONS lists the Reasons to delete a template:

1. The template violates some part of the template namespace guidelines, and can't be altered to be in compliance.
2. The template is redundant to a better-designed template.
3. The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used.
4. The template violates a policy such as Neutral point of view or Civility and it can't be fixed through normal editing.

1 doesn't apply, there are no better-designed templates for these images as section 2 requires, section 3 doesn't apply as other templates of this kind are being used, as well as the images these templates transclude and 4 doesn't apply as well. In conclusion, most arguments for deletion can be found as examples of Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions and the proposal doesn't clear the basic threshold of WP:TFD#REASONS. Hence, keep. CLalgo (talk) 12:19, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a link to Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in template deletion discussions#It's unused: "The fact that a template is unused is not, by itself, enough for deletion. It must be demonstrated that the template isn't likely to be used." CLalgo (talk) 12:25, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TFD says "Templates for which none of these apply may be deleted by consensus here." and that is the normal process. Nigej (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

True, but if after all the points I've made the motions is still to delete the templates while keep using the naked image files, it may look like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. If the files currently in use are kept, the templates may be used in the future. As they are templtes, it covers that side. As they work like redirects to the image files, that is another reason to keep the templates as they make finding the image files easier. The only arguments in favor of deleting the templates are actually about deletion of the image files, which is not the subject of this discussion. CLalgo (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To summarise my position: We have an image which is a gold circle with the outline of Australia in it. This is used with a small size that the outline of Australia is impossible to see and understand. The idea that we should be providing an explanation of this which you can get by hovering over the icon is just madness. It's obvious that we shouldn't be using this image for this purpose. A classic example of trying to solve a problem which shouldn't exist in the first place. Nigej (talk) 08:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As rebutted before, the templates do more than just adding the "hovering explanation". The templates default to add alt text per WP:ICON#Remember accessibility for people with visual impairment: "Every functional icon should have alt text...". They also make the icons more accessible as they are curated in a category. If the main point is that the default icon size should be larger, than it can be discussed and done, although WP:TFD#REASONS states that "Templates should not be nominated if the issue can be fixed by normal editing.".
In our case:
{{Aus1}} is yielded by {{Aus1}}, and:
{{Aus1|size=25px}} is yielded by normal editing allowed by templates via {{Aus1|size=25px}}.

Therefor, even this argument doesn't hold water. As I wrote before, if the main issue is the usage of the images themselves, than the images should be the subject of discussion – not the templates organizing and wrapping them. CLalgo (talk) 10:54, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But why do we need one for every event/continent/country/etc. If we need something to say its a gold medal ok (although personally I'm doubtful about that) but having something to say it's an "Australian" gold medal doesn't make sense to me. The article should make that clear surely.Nigej (talk) 12:54, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Again, your argument is about the usage of the image files, not the templates. That is a different discussion. As this kind of icons is currently in use in various articles, the question is whether to allow the option to use a template for those images or "force" the usage of naked image files. Deleting these 3 templates will not remove those icons from the articles currently showing them, nor will it prevent other articles to do so. It will only make it harder to include "alt text", to find specific icons and to standardize icons shown. And for the "why do we need that?" question: Nothing is needed. not a single icon in this website is needed. not one article is essential. Some, are just nice to have. Some bring some added value, such as competition specific icons. So please, let's focus this discussion. If the goal is to remove the icons from Wikipedia, these 3 templates are the wrong tree to bark on. CLalgo (talk) 16:05, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's simply not true. My argument is that we shouldn't be providing templates to cater for inappropriate use of images/icons. My argument is specifically about the templates. Nigej (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this- they're not needed, because we have a better existing template- the one without the country specific data in it. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:05, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that I'm clearly in the minority in this discussion, so I'll lampshade this comment as a WP:ATAATA and flush everything out.
This is WP:NOTDEMOCRACY, and most if not all the delete arguments are either WP:IDONTLIKEIT ("No need"), WP:USELESS ("adds nothing of value") or both. Many dabble in an WP:ALLORNOTHING approach, WP:CRYSTALBALLing that other templates of this kind will be created for every other country. Moreover, the main premise of the proposal is incorrect. More than just to transclude the icons, this kind of templates allows for standardizing icon usage and verifies the existence of alt text per WP:ICON#Remember accessibility for people with visual impairment. The existence of the templates also curate these icons, per WP:CATEGORY "to provide navigational links to Wikipedia pages in a hierarchy of categories which readers, knowing essential—defining—characteristics of a topic, can browse and quickly find sets of pages on topics that are defined by those characteristics.". And lastly, as aforementioned, deleting the templates will not remove the icons from articles. If that is the goal, the icon files themselves need to be nominated for deletion. Otherwise, we just lose the benefits the templates provide without "gaining" the removal of the icons from articles, as some deletion supporters might wish. CLalgo (talk) 08:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What's the solution here: FIBA Oceania Under-17 Championship for Women#Participation details? to use {{Aus1}} instead of the bare icon, or change the usage to something acceptable like {{Gold1}}. Nigej (talk) 09:57, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly the discussion that needs to be had. I think that the bare minimum is to use the {{Aus1}} templates instead of the the bare icons, but if the these icons should be completely abandoned is the subject of a broader discussion that based on this discussion – must be held. In my opinion, it should be held in a broader context such as the WikiProject Sports talk page, with calls for discussion participation posted on relevant talk pages. CLalgo (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't answer the question. Anyway you're right that the use of these icons shouldn't be held somewhere since it's pretty obvious they're nearly always inappropriate, but that's not the discussion here.Nigej (talk) 11:20, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't answer your question because it is not my decision to make. If one wants to remove these icons in favor of others, they are welcome to start a discussion about it in the relevant talk page. I am glad that you see my point that this discussion isn't about the general usage of the icons, which as I see it turns most arguments in it mute. I think that this discussion should be closed as a "Keep, pending broader discussion", with the discussion held in a major forum — not as a deletion proposal — where the fate of these icons, and not just some of the templates wrapping them, be decided. CLalgo (talk) 11:46, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're twisting my words now, which you shouldn't be doing. My position is quite clear: This discussion is about a very unsatisfactory template which needs to be deleted. Another discussion should be held to discuss issues relating to the use of the icons. Two separate issues. Nigej (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you agreed that the need for the latter discussion makes the former redundant. I stand corrected, by still stick to my position. CLalgo (talk) 14:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Useless gimmicks. As noted, we should get rid of the others too. If we need something that says its a gold medal, ok. But having one for each event/continent/country/etc is just crazy. We should have either one set of the three or none. Nigej (talk) 08:39, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Was removed here. It would seem that editors on that page aren't interested in this template. Gonnym (talk) 12:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a good faith edit by User:Nirinsanity accidentally removed the template during the clean-up. The template is not part of the right-wing propaganda (which is to call Dravidian parties as a Christian conspiracy) that the user is referring to. Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 13:42, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh haha. I wasn't aware this template got removed as well, in that edit. I just went through it, and it definitely seems to be a good summary of the chronology of the origins of all the Dravidian parties. Nirinsanity (talk) 03:37, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since the user who removed it said it was by accident then its removal wasn't valid. No issue with restoring it. Gonnym (talk) 06:28, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Added back the template. I am happy if it is removed after a discussion. It is complex and large, because the political squabbles that it depict have been complex and convoluted. Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 13:03, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I guess I should explicitly say this for administrative reasons. This is a good faith nomination for delete but misunderstood on what's going on. This is was an accidentally orphaned template. The template was created because the split within the Dravidian parties and the factions are so complicated that only a genealogy tree can explain. It was removed by another user when they were fixing vandalism. Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 20:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

However, that's exactly what happened at the previous TfD I noted. It seems strange to me that no one seems to notice it's missing until someone tries to delete it. Nigej (talk) 20:57, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, this conversation should be posted on the Dravidian parties page. In fact, most South Indian political articles stays vandalized for years before someone notices. I have pointed out that the template was removed as an accident by someone. Is there a policy to still delete this? Remember that most editors (including me) who were active on South Indian politics articles have "retired" due to professional/personal reasons. I responded because leaving a message on my talk-page alerts me to my personal email. If the rational here is that vandalism should be encouraged, then go ahead is all I could say. It seems strange to me that you are wanting to delete this regardless of the obvious fact that this was removed due to someone trying to fix vandalism. Remember, that a lot of put tremendous effort to make these articles possible when Wikipedia carried a heavy Anglo-American bias. Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 02:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – A fine example of readers being rewarded for active Wikipedia:Collaborations in bringing a stub-class article that was initially nominated for speedy deletion to FA-class. Not seeing how deletion of this template improves Wikipedia. The template's creator being inactive is not a valid reason for deletion, and none of the deletion qualifiers at WP:TFD#REASONS are met here at all.

Delete We should not have navboxes for drafts (WP:NAVBOX says "a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles in Wikipedia", emphasis added); the draft categorization scheme is more than sufficient to support collaboration. Whenever a draft is published, the navbox has to be removed from the published article and has to be edited: almost certain to introduce errors and cause confusion. Same navbox editing has to be done if a draft is deleted via G13. UnitedStatesian (talk) 16:28, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete We shouldn't have navboxes for drafts, only mainspace articles. Nigej (talk) 16:43, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep These draft navboxes, along with Template:Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts, are used by their respective communities to better navigate and coordinate what drafts we have and the status of each. Draft categories also compliment each of these. Trailblazer101 (talk) 18:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per decision to keep Template:Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts, it is useful when there are multiple editors working on multiple promising drafts like there are for these. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:47, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per above two comments. Mitchy Power (talk) 22:22, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. {{Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts}} and {{Star Wars drafts}} have both survived TfDs in the past, and there is nothing wrong with navboxes for drafts. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:36, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above, as this will aid greatly in organizing drafts for each franchise.--WuTang94 (talk) 02:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per all above. Navboxes exists to navigate between "articles" not in the mainspace, namely templates and Wikipedia namespace articles; navigation for drafts is no different. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Navboxes are used to group pages also in non-article namespaces such as the Project namespace (Template:Manual of Style) and Template namespace (Template:Citation Style 1). These draft navboxes are useful as they not only group related articles (like categories do) but also make it easier to identify what type of draft articles are currently there. Gonnym (talk) 06:33, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, regarding the issue presented by nom that the navbox needs to be removed after a page is published. There are other things to do after a page is published such as removing {{Draft categories}}, {{Draft article}} or {{Promising draft}}. Gonnym (talk) 07:23, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but all of those are performed by the AfC publishing script. Removal of these templates is not. UnitedStatesian (talk) 07:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then the venue to get that fixed is over at the AfC publishing script page. Gonnym (talk) 08:32, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per several rationales above, such as those posited by Trailblazer101, Adamstom.97 and InfiniteNexus. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:56, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete drafts do not usually need to navigate between each other, and these templates don't really need to have drafts navigate between each other. If people want to maintain a list of drafts, that should be a list and not a template. A sandbox version of the articlespace template could exist with links to draft in a navbox sandbox, which links to articlespace and draftspace pages, but there should be no draft-navigation templates like these. The category functions to gather together drafts of a topic for editors to choose to work on. A list page in wikiProject pagespace could be built to list drafts in an organized manner that these templates want to do. But they shouldn't be templates, since there's no need to navigate from one draft page to another. Finding drafts to work on is the purpose of the category, or a list page, not a template -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 20:36, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment these can be de-navboxed, listified, moved to say WP:WikiProject Media franchises/List of draft articles for XYZ instead -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 20:38, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Where are your thoughts stated that drafts shouldn't be easily navigated between one another or in navboxes? And do you feel the same about templates and other non-mainspace articles that also use navboxes, because this is a same situation. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:35, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • If you're accessing a template page, then you're looking up documentation, or looking for similar templates, since you're not sure what that other template is, so navboxes listing templates for documentation pages make sense. For ProjectSpace (WP:), it's for navigation between projectpages, and should work just like articlespace, as you're accessing projectpages for project material. It works for categoryspace, as you're navigating categories for articles, so navbox would guide you to other sets of articles to read. It doesn't make sense for drafts because drafts are not reading material, they are works in progress; they are specifically not reading material and are stripped out of the index. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 00:26, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:If administrator (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template currently does not work because we do not have a CSS class that only shows text to non-administrators. To get the template working, we would need to implement the change that I proposed at MediaWiki talk:Common.css#Interface-protected edit request on 14 February 2022 (permalink), but the responding interface administrators were unwilling to implement the change because of the potential for abuse. I'm afraid they make a pretty good point, and I don't really have a compelling enough use case for this template that would override their concerns. Mz7 (talk) 22:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I suppose an alternative to deletion could be to refactor the template to get rid of the second parameter, such that it would only show administrators certain text that would be hidden from non-administrators. In other words, {{If administrator|You are an administrator}} would show the text "You are an administrator" to administrators and hide the text to non-administrators. Mz7 (talk) 22:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
