Template:Uw-confuser (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

We don't block confusing user names, this template is redundant to our RFC-N process and does not reflect current policy. MBisanz talk 22:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Also redundant to {{uw-username}}. Anomie 23:52, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment if this closes as a redirect, could the closing admin remember to categorize the redirect to Category:Redirects from warning template, thank you. MBisanz talk 09:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional keep I created this template as a result of this discussion. The consensus there was that names that were found to be excessively confusing were blockable, but that the user should be given a chance to change their name first. This template is notifying the user that their name has been confusing and indicating that they may be blocked if they do not change it. This is different from the {{uw-username}} template, because if a user does not respond to that template, the result is a RFCN being opened. This template was meant for names that are so confusing that they will obviously be disallowed at RFCN, but giving the user a chance to change names instead of being blocked right off the bat. If the username policy has changed so that confusing usernames, even extremely confusing ones, are not to be blocked, then this template can be deleted. However, my reading of the discussion I linked to above is that very confusing names can still be blocked after the user has been notified. In that case, I support keeping the template, because the alternative is these users being insta-blocked instead of getting a chance to choose a new username without a block. Is he back? (talk) 23:06, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I see nothing in {{uw-username}} that makes it inappropriate for use regarding confusing usernames. In my reading of the two templates, {{subst:uw-username|It may be unnecessarily confusing}} says the same thing as your {{uw-confuser}}, except more concisely and somewhat less bitingly.

Overly specific SPAM warning, not actually UTM, redundant to Test/UTM advert/spam warnings. MBisanz talk 22:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - overly specific. We could create such warnings for pretty much every "list of [internet-related thing]s" (such as List of content-control software, for example) article that exists. If someone spams, give them uw-spam. If the user wants to explain more about what the spammer did wrong, just add a little bit on the end before the sig.

Template:HS LL in Yorkshire (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Duplicates other templates {{Lord Lieutenancies}} and {{High Shrievalties}}. MRSCTalk 17:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With this, the articles have a grand total of TWO templates. How can that be defined as "excessive clutter"? Different counties have different circumstances. I think that Yorkshire is the only who has had so many "sub" Sheriffs and "sub" Lieutenants, that is why in scholary references, the ones current included in the Yorkshire specific template are specifically placed together in "The Lord Lieutenants & High Sheriffs of Yorkshire: 1066-2000". - Yorkshirian (talk) 03:43, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It should be noted that TfD are not straw man polls, since MRSC's stance has been disproved by scholary books, namely "The Lord Lieutenants & High Sheriffs of Yorkshire: 1066-2000" then could you perhaps expand and add a rationale of your own. If you have one. Thank you. - Yorkshirian (talk) 03:43, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Redirect. I fixed the code issues. I was going to delete the templates, but they had a few transclusions, and redirection works just as well. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:01, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Db-meta-s (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Db-t3-s (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Much as I would love to slap {{db-t3}} on these templates, that might be considered a bit pointy. These two templates appear to be forks of {{db-meta}} created solely for use in tagging templates for deletion under WP:CSD#T3. I'm not entirely sure why MZMcBride felt that the existing {{db-meta}} and {{db-t3}} templates were not adequate, but there really is no need for forking one CSD template from the Db- series that seem to work so well. — Happymelon 15:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:CSD#T3 and nom. DA PIE EATER (talk) 17:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rolleyes: Um... "I'm not entirely sure why MZMcBride felt...." You could've, y'know, asked me or something. These templates were "forked" because the Db- template standardization royally screwed up the functionality of the old templates, causing my script to break and I didn't have the time to figure out what was needed to fix the issue. Thus, I copied the old versions, appended an -s (for special), and did a quick fix to my tagging script (i.e., a quick grep and adding "-s" where needed). These templates can't really be speedied under T3 as they have about 50 or so transclusions from what I see.... But, moving forward, if the functionality can be restored to the Db-meta and Db-t3 templates, I have no problem deleting these templates. (Hell, I'll do it myself.) If I have a minute (and I should soonish), I'll re-examine the situation here and see what needs to be done. If an admin wants to close this discussion, just move the templates into my userspace. Or not. Really, it makes little difference to me — I can always undelete them if need be. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Only two articles use this template, and both articles have notability concerns. Although {{future}} doesn't quite drive home the same point, I feel that template should be used instead. — Anthony Rupert (talk) 05:55, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. I'm not sure that limited transclusion is a good argument for deletion of a template such as this. One might view it as a sign that the template is amazingly effective—all but two of the articles that have been tagged with this template were fixed. {{Future}} doesn't appear to be a suitable substitute. I'm not sure why the editor above wants to delete this template. It's not doing any harm, and storage is cheap. It flags a legitimate problem with an article that should be fixed.--Srleffler (talk) 06:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
