Template:2009 Division I FCS independent football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Templatecruft. There are no conference standings for teams that aren't in a conference. These three teams have nothing to do with each other, except for the fact that they are not in a conference. Only one of them - 2009 Savannah State Tigers football team - even has a season article - and I can't for the life of me see a reason to have a season article on a IAA team that isn't bound for the national championship. (That's a separate issue, though.) There are no standings for independent teams and it doesn't make sense to have an infobox for it. B (talk) 21:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

The reason for nomination is exactly the same as Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2009 May 30#Template:AssignedPA, which was a discussion consisting only of the nominator and the creator. This template is based on a complete misunderstanding, that ASSIGNED PA addresses are assigned to the user of the IP. In fact they are assigned to the ISP who can then re-assign them to whoever they want as frequently as they want. A quick example of a dynamic IP which is ASSIGNED PA is: 88.106.16.199 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) (check the WHOIS link). ASSIGNED PA is therefore irrelevant to blocking and admins; this template is misleading and should be deleted. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, perhaps the template should be recreated as "StaticIP", which is what I thought I meant- in which case I'd have no objection to deletion. Rodhullandemu 19:50, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We do have {{dynamicIP}}, intended for IPs which switch relatively frequently. However I would be wary of a static IP template. I often say that all IPs are dynamic, it's just a question of timing. This is especially the case for IP addresses assigned to ISPs, including some of those using this template. In some cases I find that the {{whois}} template is the best label for static IPs. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Certainly an ISP I was with a while back suggested their assignments were "pseudo-static" - technically, they were dynamic and subject to change at any time, however, this typically only happened when there was a major outage that caused all their DHCP leases to disappear. However, this is their local assignments, and is not the same as ASSIGNment. ASSIGNED PA does not mean static. It simply means that the address belongs to a given operator. I forget the rules on delegation, but there are certainly ISPs that delegate management of their IP address ranges to local administrators. As such, I'm not sure what to make of this template. I can understand that we need to inform admins if we have found IP address ranges that we know to be highly variable (of the "new user every 24 hours" type). I find the idea of tagging an IP address as "static" or "near-static" both unnecessary and problematic. Unless someone has gone around assigning a fixed IP address to everything in their class A, the term "static IP" isn't helpful. Even the legendary anon on Comcast got their address switched after 4 years. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 02:39, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. The misunderstanding that "Assigned PA" means the same as "static IP" is an easy and completely understandable mistake to make. However as Zzuuzz indicated, even static IP assignments only give the illusion of being static and we can use {{whois}} for those. — Kralizec! (talk) 23:46, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Country data Spratly Islands (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Presumably created for use with {{flagicon}}, but the white flag should not be used as a placeholder for a place with disputed sovereignty. If no flag is appropriate for the Spratly Islands, then use {{noflag}} if necessary to render nothing, but a white flag is misleading and inaccurate. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Not in use at all. Even the categories it sorts into don't exist... And redundant to {{Uncat}}.

Apart from that, have a look what it says: "This page previously appeared in one or more categories. Please categorise it so it may be associated with related pages." If you know the page used to be categorised, why not restore those categories? And if they were inappropriate, then what is the relevance of the fact that they were there?
