Template:M3 to yd3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Same function as convert template. Not used. Similar templates have already been deleted. Lightmouse (talk) 22:28, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This, I think, is the last of these "unit to unit" templates. The rest have been scrapped as being unused & redundant to {{convert}} (WP:T3). The author of this one has expressed to me his approval of deletion (WP:G7). Note the following subpages.

Template:M3 to yd3/calc (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:M3 to yd3/dim (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:M3 to yd3/doc (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:M3 to yd3/range (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Templates Sup2 and Sup3

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was Speedy deleted by Jimp (talk · contribs) per WP:G7 (author, Ericleb01, agrees to deletion). {{Sup3}} is also deleted by the same arguement. JIMp_talk·cont 03:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sup2

Template:Sup2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hardly used. Trivial. I hope there aren't more like this. Lightmouse (talk) 22:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is not useful. Let editors discover the tools above the edit box. It's unhelpful to have half a dozen different ways of doing the same thing. JIMp_talk·cont 00:38, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. No, it's not used very often, but at least two articles use it and Sup3 to cut down on a tedious task, so I don't see anything wrong with keeping it. Considering that the unicode character is not supposed to be used, this is effective at cutting down on character strokes. And had I known of "half a dozen" other ways to easily accomplish this (which don't seem to exist), I would not have created the template (hence why I did). _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 18:26, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Clicking on the "links" above I found {{sup2}} used once in the main space. I thought that a conversion to square miles might be better now it's not used at all. I also got rid of the {{^3}}. Okay, a third of a dozen (these also have redirects, {{^2}} and {{^3}} (there's also {{su}} but that's a bit different)), then there's {{sup}}. If you'd know about {{sup}}, you wouldn't have created these? Can we WP:G7 them then? The irony when discussing how many keystokes these save us is the number of keystrokes we've spend discussing whether to save them. JIMp_talk·cont 09:34, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And {{Sup3}} is used in another article. No, I did know about {{Sup}}; in fact it (and {{10^}}) was what inspired the original {{2}} template which was moved to this in another deletion discussion (I'm not sure why we decided not to move it to {{^2}}, which probably would be much easier to remember and even more efficient). I actually really wouldn't mind moving it to {{^2}} and {{^3}}. _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 15:59, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete. Saves 4 keystrokes at the expense of needing to memorize a specific template, instead of a general rule. - Nabla (talk) 00:10, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is a button above the edit box for this purpose. By default it's (in the "Advanced" group); with the enhanced editing toolbar disabled it's . --Redrose64 (talk) 16:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh. Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, sure, delete it, but I wish it was much more visible. _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 20:24, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Napalm Death members timeline (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not used in any article. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 17:29, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete, as it fails wp:accessibility and is redundant to information in the article and it is unused. Frietjes (talk) 21:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It now is used on Napalm_Death#Members. Not sure why this wasn't there before.Curb Chain (talk) 07:33, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Subst & histmerge (or delete). As it used, and useful (if it is...) at a single article - Nabla (talk) 09:17, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete per prior consensus on navigation boxes which do not navigate. Frietjes (talk) 21:54, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the navbox which navigates to nowhere. Useful if you're looking for an article to create though. -- $Σ talk contribs$ 03:52, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't navigate anywhere! Or in other words, improper use of templatespace. The one other bluelink links to a section in the article!Curb Chain (talk) 07:25, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
