This is the only satellite company that has a navigational template for the channels it carries. If this information is necessary to Wikipedia, it would be better expressed in a list or table. Until recently the template was only used in the satellite company's article until recently when an editor added the template to nine of channels' articles.

As with Template:Year article header/dom below, this sub-template is no longer going to be used in any year articles after my recent removal from Template:Year article header/Julian start; and should be deleted as well. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 19:24, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agree on Delete if it's been removed

I created this in order to insert the dominical letter value for the beginning of each year's entry. If someone has fixed the template to no longer need this - and has been checked to confirm it works - then I have no problem with its deletion. My only concern is correct operation; it took me months to figure out how to "trick" Wikipedia into doing the calculations to automatically select all the information and my only concern is "Year article header" and all the subtemplates it calls work correctly.

No longer used in any year articles because Kaldari said in Special:Diff/793905190 that this is trivia. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 19:07, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

unused, provides very little navigation Frietjes (talk) 16:44, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no links notvalready in the parent article. Season articles would generally be non notable per WP:NSEASONS so no clear way it could be expanded to be a useful aid to navigation. Fenix down (talk) 17:07, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unused; only one substitution in a user sandbox. Jc86035 (talk) 09:34, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: A lot of ideas, but nothing cohesive.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nihlus 00:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fwiw, I think it's probably safest to let that rest for a few months more, and then, provided there are still no signs of use, proceed to boldly turn it into a character-substitution template. – Uanfala 20:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
