- Template:AAT search link (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This dissertation citation template uses a URL that no longer works and is used five times. This should be deleted and replaced with Template:Cite thesis, as it allows for far more parameters. SWinxy (talk) 19:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Template:PIE (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Replace usages with {{lang|ine-x-proto}} and delete.
Proto-Indo-European language has been supported for a while now by {{lang}}, which additionally provides various checks, validations and categories, that this template does not.
The main difference between the two templates is that PIE does not italic the text or adds an asterisk (*), while Lang does. That means that when replacing, if a PIE usage
- has an asterisk, it should be removed
- wraps the template in italics, they should be removed
See this edit as an example.
Also somewhat related, "pie" is incorrect to use here as that is the language code for the Piro Pueblo language. Gonnym (talk) 13:40, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

- Template:Testcase (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Test case (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Testcase with Template:Test case.
{{Testcase}} is referred to as the legacy version of the spaced {{Test case}}. They should be merged. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:48, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I do think that the amount of coding that would be required to create a wrapper for the old template so that all the params can translate into the new one would be overly burdensome, and I don't think that the time spent reprogramming old test cases to follow the format of the new template would be worth it. As such, I don't think that template merging here would improve the encyclopedia on a net basis, so I think they should be kept. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Replace all usages (122) and delete template. Don't merge anything that the new template can already do, and only merge specific features if actually needed. Gonnym (talk) 12:09, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Happy with that outcome, too. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:46, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Not needed, links already included at more comprehensive {{Dennis Wilson}} navbox --woodensuperman 12:17, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Holland (album) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Only three of the songs in the tracklisting have articles. All the outtakes redirect to the album article. --woodensuperman 12:02, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Template:How-to (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) - 324 transclusions
- Template:Manual (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) - 547 transclusions
Propose merging Template:How-to with Template:Manual.
These seem to say the same thing, in different words ("contains instructions, advice, or how-to content"/ "written like a manual or guide").
Reducing the number of available duplicative templates makes it easier for editors to find the template suited to an issue which they wish to flag. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:48, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to {{How-to}} which is slightly older (2006). — Hex • talk 14:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to {{Manual}}. I think the latter frames it better than the former; this isn't serious enough to be an orange tag IMHO. Plus the latter has more transclusions. Duckmather (talk) 04:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

- Template:IranNCSGN (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
No point in external link template for a dead link. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:06, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 03:00, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- weak keep, seems like it is being used as a reference for the spelling of place names, so maybe just point to the wayback archive instead for those cases. Frietjes (talk) 22:44, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

- Template:As It Is (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Only three albums. WP:NENAN --woodensuperman 10:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Only one album and one featured single to her credit doesn't meet the threshold of WP:NENAN --woodensuperman 10:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Christian political parties in the Netherlands (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
We already have Template:Political parties in the Netherlands and Template:Defunct political parties in the Netherlands. I believe these templates per ideology make the template lists too cluttered, especially for active parties. Dajasj (talk) 09:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
