No evidence this is even a real award, let alone a notable one. Looks like WP:POV to me. Giant Snowman 20:17, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know what I have to change in this article, I created a whole day, and the moderator wants to delete my work, I do not understand why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eemiratess (talk • contribs) 20:34, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

delete I have checked several articles, but the award was or never mentioned or unsourced. The Banner talk 21:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Checkbox (clickable) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is a completely pointless template. Regardless of the fact that the code itself can be vastly improved for functionality, I cannot see a single reason why a user would want to have a clickable checkbox that doesn't actually do anything. In other words, you can check/uncheck the box, but the results do not get saved anywhere. Hence, pointless. Primefac (talk) 17:17, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Does it matter if we keep such a template. If it can be improved then let's do it! Anyway I'll make a userspace copy of it so that I can atleast keep it! Varun FEB2003 17:20, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If it doesn't do anything useful it causes confusion, particularly including it in the "See also" sections of existing templates. --David Biddulph (talk) 17:25, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

VarunFEB2003, the code itself can be improved, but that doesn't matter if the template itself cannot be used. Please tell me when this template would be useful. Primefac (talk) 17:27, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac Ya sure! If you see I was developing a new template Log In Form with parameters so that users can easily tell what problems they are facing. It can be viewed in my Sandbox the template is used there. Varun FEB2003 17:32, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac and David Biddulph: Repinging as prev. ping didnt work Varun FEB2003 17:33, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I shall add a paramter soon to provide check/uncheck ability. Please do not delete Varun FEB2003 17:36, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The place for developing things is user space, not template space. Delete this template, & the link from real useful templates. David Biddulph (talk) 17:40, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@David Biddulph: You can delete it. But after I have completely made it can I bring it back in Template space? Thanks Varun FEB2003 17:44, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

VarunFEB2003, it doesn't matter where it is or how complete it is, if it has no use then it will not be in the Template space. Primefac (talk) 18:57, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Pointless wrapper around functionality from the InputBox extension. Creating isolated form elements outside of a proper form has no conceivable purpose and is bad practice from an accessibility perspective. Joe Roe (talk) 00:51, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- User requests deletion Instead of tagging it with G7 I'll request passing admin to delete it! Varun FEB2003 12:49, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only two transclusions (1 article, 1 user page). Make a normal table or use a {{Legend}} list instead. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

Don't care. The original purpose is now replaced by Module:Sports table. --Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 17:15, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
