Template:Football League Cup 2006-07 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Links only two articles, but looks like more due to heavy use of section links. If more links were created to add the missing information (i.e. team names), this would result in navbox overload on team article pages if similar navboxes were created, and the intended information belongs in articles in any case.

Delete. It is an exhortation for editors in a content category. It is also redundant since {{catdiffuse}} can be used. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 20:06, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all - The entire "political movements" structure is based on them, and this would undo the whole thing. Much like WP:ships (Category:Cathead templates) You cannot manually change (and maintain) each one, that is literally over a hundred subcats. See on just how many categories each one is used. It places in 3 (currently) standard named parent categories, by country, and links to related pages/categories/lists. When the naming scheme/structure is updated or new lists/pages/parentcats are created, all of them would have to be modified manually as well. Much of the WP category system is a mess, but these make clean organization and maintenance of the standard scheme possible. - Skullers (talk) 08:28, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

This template seems to be exact duplicate of {{Sort}}, so I think this one should be redirected there or deleted completely. Svick (talk) 17:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete rather than redir. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 20:21, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
keep SortKey is an internationally used template speeding up interwiki translations (and btw ... {{sort}} does not actually sort, it just changes the sorting position!) axp_de ^Hello! 07:18, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can it be verified that this does exactly the same thing as {{sort}}? If so a speedy delete per T3 would be fine, leaving a redirect if Axpde's argument regarding interwiki translation is valid. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only difference is that sort adds class="sortkey":

* {{sort|Brothers Karamazov|[[The Brothers Karamazov]]}}
* {{SortKey|Brothers Karamazov|[[The Brothers Karamazov]]}}

Outputs:

<li><span style="display:none" class="sortkey">Brothers Karamazov </span><span class="sorttext"><a href="/wiki/The_Brothers_Karamazov" title="The Brothers Karamazov">The Brothers Karamazov</a></span></li>

<li><span style="display:none">Brothers Karamazov</span> <a href="/wiki/The_Brothers_Karamazov" title="The Brothers Karamazov">The Brothers Karamazov</a></li>

So, they are functionally equivalent. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 13:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and replace; if they are functionally equivalent; replace current uses with the format for "Sort", and then redirect the name, since it's a likely name to think of for a sort-key template. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 21:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Timeline Mozilla Bugzilla (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template is only used in one article and its contents can be changed and included in that article if required. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The creation of this template is for easy maintaining of its content, by using a template the contents are not mixed (timeline/article) and can be maintained into several languages (easy&fast). Thanks. --Rbuj (talk) 00:20, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The contents can be easily maintained on the article page. The template is not required to include it on several different languages. Besides, there's nothing in the timeline that must be translated. It consists of dates, version numbers, and a product name that is not different across languages. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This template contains "Updated on +date" string which is different on each language.--Rbuj (talk) 16:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So what? This is not required to be in a template. The same can be achieved by including it directly in the article. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - We have an electoral process opened to decide if time axis must be always placed in x-axis on all timelines. Please vote Template_talk:Timeline_Mozilla_Bugzilla, thanks --Rbuj (talk) 16:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

not relevant for the discussion on deletion. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete I understand what this dispute from Bugzilla is all about now. As Walter Gorlitz said this template is being used on one article. He was right, but also, by the fact this template on the article has not been covered by a source, I may remove the template from the article altogether, which I suspect is the reason why this dispute is still going on right now. If the source is covered, I'll change my vote. Minima c (talk) 12:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changing my vote to Keep. The template added to the article has a reliable reference which supports the article. Minima c (talk) 16:02, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand when you says "If the source is covered". I have added a reference to data source on template.--Rbuj (talk) 13:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The question is not whether the data is reliable since the reliable data can be added directly to the article, it's whether the template is (or even can) be used in any other article. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bold keep for lack of alternatives and ease of maintenance — 512 LOCs is a lot. This particular use of templates may not be what naturally comes to mind, but since subpages in the main namespace are disabled, and there no "Data:" or corresponding namespace a "bold keep" seems reasonable. jonkerz ♠ 23:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It's not even used in a single article let alone multiple. Each national article has its own copy. There is no need for this template. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The use of <timeline> makes this entirely inaccessible to screen readers, and the use of collapsible content is discouraged per WP:COLLAPSE. I see no reason why a basic table or flat list couldn't be included in the parent article, and this template could be completely eliminated. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 22:14, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a frontend to {{Infobox political party}}. Looking at the code, there is some extra stuff that gets added at election time (ballot number, candidate) and it is reasonable to have the labels for those fields isolated to one location. In comparison, a template like Template:Infobox Nepalese political party is not really as necessary, since most all the of the parameters pass straight through, with just the "country" field (and wings names) being set. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 04:15, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
