Template:WikiKnowledge (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template links to a non-notable website (as per WP:WEB) that is also an open wiki without a substantial number of editors, and thus unacceptable as per WP:EL. Mushroom (Talk) 12:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PokeLinks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template links to two non-notable websites (as per WP:WEB) and an open wiki (unacceptable as per WP:EL) that are also unreliable sources (as per WP:RS). Mushroom (Talk) 12:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Serebiidex (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The website has no sign of notability as per WP:WEB, is not a reliable source as per WP:RS and is not a valid external link as per WP:EL. Having a template that links to it encourages users to violate these guidelines. Mushroom (Talk) 12:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ref-section (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Only used on 42 pages. Besides, Template:Reflist is used much more. This one is basically a duplicate. Davnel03 09:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Fruits Basket characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unnecessary template about a single, relatively short franchise. All articles in template are already well wikified in Fruits Basket and Fruits Basket characters. Several of the links just go back to Fruits Basket characters as well, making it circular. Recommending delete as part of over all effort to clean up and improve these two articles.. Collectonian (talk) 07:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The template serves as a navigational aid while most of the character articles still exist. Maybe there should be consensus to redirect them first. –Pomte 20:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the time being. I clicked on some of the links in this template, and most of them go to separate articles, suggesting a navigation template is useful here. (I don't see the need for multiple links to Fruits Basket characters, though.) However, some of those character articles are currently proposed for deletion; we should probably wait a few weeks to see how many of them end up getting deleted or merged and take another look at this template then.

Template:Compromised account (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I found a case where a template was deleted due to being an uncommon occurance. This template was deleted because it was a) an uncommon appearance, and b) unnecesary, because it could be replaced with a {{indefblockeduser}} and a note stating what happened. Same case here. — Maser (Talk!) 05:52, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am not arguing against your opinion - you are the creator of this template, after all. However, my reasoning is that instead of a template that'll rarely be used, we should include information on the hacking and the user who is the rightful owner of the account. Maser (Talk!) 07:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I forgot to add this rebuttal to the argument for deletion above: {{Indefblockeduser}} is a mark of shame for the various trolls and vandals we block from time to time because it is used mostly for those reasons. There is much less shame for getting hacked and subsequently blocked rather than blocked due to trolling, incivility, or vandalism. Since Wikipedia uses passwords in the clear, it is easy to hack one's account, especially if the user is using a Wi-Fi network with no encryption, WEP, or a passphrase that would fall to a dictionary attack when WPA or WPA2 is used. Even then, there are users that are naïve enough to use a dictionary word as their passwords. Jesse Viviano (talk) 06:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I never thought of it that way before. :) Maser (Talk!) 07:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. When accounts are blocked, we should always leave a reason on their userpage, and this template does just that; accounts being blocked for this reason may be a very rare occurrence, but it's not unheard of. If you want to include additional information in the template that it doesn't currently include, as suggested by the comment above, feel free to edit it and add additional fields; but there's no need to delete this potentially-useful template.
