Template:Mountains of Montana (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

given that there are "at least 2991" named mountains in Montana, and that List of mountains in Montana is split into multiple articles, it's not a great idea to have a potentially massive navbox with 2991 entries. much better to simply link to List of mountains in Montana or one of the subpages, and to use the existing category system.

The result of the discussion was Rename/move. I have moved it to a new name, but feel free to move it to another name. If you would still like to see it deleted, feel free to renominate it. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:35, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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

I can't imagine when this could be useful and there are no uses in the wild now (and that has evidently been the case for over a month). If someone can justify this template, then that should definitely be added to the documentation and some real-life use cases. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The template is subst-only, which would explain why there are no uses to be seen. Its purpose is to assist in the creation of redirects to titles that end with a full stop, and I'm not sure these are anywhere near common enough to justify a template. And certainly not one with such a generic and counterintuitive name. – Uanfala 09:00, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's short and quick to type. As for the number I can't give you an exact figure or ratio, but it is likely to increase rather than decrease. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]

That's still a way too niche use. The template should either be deleted or moved (without leaving a redirect) to a title that gives at least some indication of its purpose. In either case Template:¬ should redirect to Template:Not. – Uanfala 12:38, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
rename or delete and redirect Template:¬ to Template:Not as suggested by Uanfala. Frietjes (talk) 13:52, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
