Delete. No current use or need. gidonb (talk) 00:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There seems to be almost a hundred of these templates. They have to have server some purpose, at least at some point in time. I will oppose until we've made sure it's not used by a bot or other tool. Notification posted at Template talk:WPBannerMeta --Trialpears (talk) 06:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I can find 93 of these in total: [1]. I looked at the first half dozen or so and none appear to be in use. Kephir created a few and appears to be the most recently active user. Something to do with User:Kephir/gadgets/rater as far as I can tell. PC78 (talk) 07:09, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Used by User:Kephir/gadgets/rater.js gadget, which though an older version of Evad37's rater, still has a handful of users. The data is in JSON format, but with wikitext contentmodel. An interface admin should probably be asked to correct the contentmodel. SD0001 (talk) 08:04, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- 93 seems like an unhelpfully small and random sample of WikiProject banners, and maintaining a subpage for every project banner hardly seems practical. If they are to be kept then at the very least these subpages could do with some sort of documentation to make their purpose clear. PC78 (talk) 08:38, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know much about how user scripts are usually handled, but would redirecting User:Kephir/gadgets/rater to User:Evad37/rater? Evad37's script is maintained while Kephir's is not. It seems to have all functions of Kephir's script and doesn't rely on specific rater data to handle exceptions. --Trialpears (talk) 08:49, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  @Trialpears: No, all features of this script aren't in Evad37's. So it hasn't been fully superseded. For example, this script allows one-click addition of task forces after having selected a wikiproject. This is possible because of the data it reads from these subpages.

Delete 93 ~~templates~~ pages in the template namespace should not be kept around indefinitely for the sake of a superseded script. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery: Except that they aren't templates, they are subpages of templates containing useful data in machine-readable form which is being put to good use (see response above). SD0001 (talk) 18:31, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 03:08, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Accessed by a user script. Some folks like me prefer this particular script over the newer one, so there is continued use. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 12:57, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
