Simply can't see the point of this template. Docklands Stadium has been renamed and is no longer called Etihad Stadium (a dab). Jenks24 (talk) 22:41, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Navigates only four articles, one of which is at AFD. WP:NENAN. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 00:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hey, it causes no harm. While it is small now, an editor may wish to expand apon it as more infomation and articles are added. Oddbodz (talk) 17:41, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus is that navboxes should not be created in advance of them being needed. A navbox which only navigates three articles is useless because all of the pages in question are undoubtedly going to be linked to each other prominently in the article text anyway: hell, a navbox with ten links could very well be pointless for the same reason. Navboxes should be used sparingly as required as navigational aids. For the time being we don't need this one, and there's no guarantee that we ever will in future, depending on how the articles grow.

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

Unused and pointless (if you're back, people will see that you're back). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 13:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Useless template, and can be achieved with {{Retired|Retreaded}}. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 07:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Not on Wikibreak (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

If an editor isn't on a wikibreak, there's no need to use a wikibreak template to say so. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 13:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I created this tag for when an editor is not on a wiki break and visits Wikipedia reguarly (eg. to check their talk page) but for one reason or another is not making any edits. This assures other users that their messages to the user will still be read. Oddbodz (talk) 17:37, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as i explained above. Oddbodz (talk) 20:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to {{wikibreak}} with a parameter to indicate wikibreak level (level=0 in this case) 65.93.15.213 (talk) 04:59, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with computer image. I have changed that box to show a desktop-PC image (rather than sunset along seashore), as noted in "Template_talk:Not on Wikibreak" and to show the particular user's "Username":

I think those changes have made the template more useful. This template seems like a budding idea that just needed some enhancements to improve the usage. I like the idea of avoiding "This user has recently returned from Wikibreak" because "recently" is subjective and after a few weeks, perhaps a recently-returned note would just seem stale, as a lazy leftover note. Instead, "{Not on Wikibreak}" can be used for days, weeks or years, because there is no implied user clean-up edit to remove it from the user's page later as being a stale returned-from-wikibreak notice. -Wikid77 (talk) 16:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A little lightness on user talk pages is just fine. TJRC (talk) 07:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Regional capitals of Sweden (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Old, unused navbox, superceded by the April-2009 navbox Template:Swedish_Seats, which I edited to cover the same links. The author, User_talk:Zign56, left Wikipedia in June 2009. -Wikid77 (talk) 14:44, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all Why wasn't this merged much earlier?Curb Chain (talk) 05:44, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as superceded. Perhaps the other content was not merged sooner because: (1) the 21 city names had to be sorted, (2) the 21 county names had to be added, and (3) several entries had Swedish letters (å, ä, ö) in the names which might have seemed too confusing. -Wikid77 17:04, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
