Template:Infobox scientific field (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This adds two external links, one to a site with just the name of the Dewey classification, the other to a very out of date, incomplete wiki that just contains lists of names. Both links fail WP:ELNO #13, so this template should not be used and to avoid this should be removed. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 10:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I have one of his zarzuelas, but haven't had a chance to start a page. That entire category of opera composer templates is otherwise, unless I am gravely mistaken, entirely lacking in zarzuela composers. Operetta, yes; zarzuela, no. That template is partly there to act as an electric prod for the other musicologists lurking around who have been neglecting the zarzuela form. Varlaam (talk) 21:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Orphan image (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is absolutely useless - images tagged with this thing are not more likely to be useful than untagged and this template is useless in helping the search for potential use of the tagged file.

It may be useful to generate suggestion lists (like images4bio or my own Echo/Images/Mountains) but this thing is absolutely useless.

PS Why only local files are tagged with this template? Bulwersator (talk) 07:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment how in hell are you going to tag files that aren't local? The only files you can tag are local files. Commons files would be tagged with a Commons template, es.Wiki files would be tagged with an es.wiki template. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 18:52, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment shouldn't any free image just be directly transwikied to Commons, and be done with it? 76.65.128.132 (talk) 18:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the template is a part of a cleanup on en-wiki. It informs uploader (and other users) that the file is not used. That could make someone add the file to an article (if it is usable) or to start a ffd (if it is not usable). Users can also use the template to find images that is not orphan using http://toolserver.org/~magnus/catscan_rewrite.php or other tools.
As far as I can tell much more files are moved to Commons or nominated for deletion now than a year ago. This template is surely not the only reason for that but I think that is it usefull for the users that is active in the "file cleanup project" --MGA73 (talk) 20:13, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Disney Lakes (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is an extensively redlinked template with only two translclusions. Additionally, it is factually inaccurate: Orange Lake isn't even in the same county as WDW. There was previous deletion discussion in March 2007 with the intention to use it for "article creation/improvement." However, not even one article has been added to the template as a blue link. See Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_March_8#Template:Disney_Lakes. Senator2029 (talk) 01:13, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Forests of redlinks like this totally defeat the purpose of navboxes. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 01:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per two comments of the last Tfd: Delete Of the 4 blue links, one is only a section of another article, one is not a disney lake and does not use the template and the 3rd and 4th ones are probably AFD candidates if anyone can be bothered - no obvious notability. Regards, Ben Aveling 23:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC) [...] Delete for doubt of notability and improvement. –Pomte 03:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC) - the situation did indeed improved!

Template:Women's sport country topic (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A textbook example of what to not do with templates. You input a country name and it outputs a navbox that creates links for every single sport the template author could think of, to an almost always non-existent [[Women's [sport] in [country]]], a great number of which will never exist, because triple intersections like this are usually a bad idea, and few sports are relevant in every country (perhaps only association football), much less at a gender-forked article level. Almost everything in this template, for almost every country, will simply be pointless redlinks, and that defeats the purpose of a navbox. Side note, for anyone interested in the wider fallout: The template author then proceeded to populate all of this for Australia, resulting in a large number of would-be articles filled with loosely-connected trivia, "gee whiz, some women play sports!" citations from the 1930s, irrelevancies (e.g. Australian media coverage of women's sports in other countries) and "facts" that are not actually in the sources cited, though a few of the resulting articles are okay. Many need to be sent to WP:Articles for deletion. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 00:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So this template is able to produce a link to Women's chess in São Tomé e Príncipe or Women's surfing in Mongolia? Nyttend (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. It spits out a huge pile of redlinks for whatever country is given as input: {{Women's sport country topic|the United States}}
Even for a country as large and well-documented as the US, there's hardly anything that isn't a redlink (for good reasons that aren't important here). The template is also malformed in that its "v·d·e" links don't work. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 03:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That minor problem was fixed. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 15:11, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
d is naturally a red link because no talk page has been created yet. You can create one by clicking d. De728631 (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly. The now-moot side issue was that the "v" and "e" links didn't work. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 23:22, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
