Template:Italic ship title (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions. This appears to be an experiment that was eventually superseded by {{Italic title prefixed}}, which is used in 8,000 pages. This discussion appears to shed light on the process. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it would be useful for {{Italic title prefixed}} to take a length or end parameter, to go with the start parameter, to set the length of middle-of-string italicization; instead of italicizing to the end. This would help with non-parenthetical disambguation, such as using commas. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 06:53, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The template adds comments that are only visible as a mouse-over tooltip. This violates MOS:NOHOVER, can't work on mobile, can't work on tablets, creates accesibility issues for screen readers, and creates accessibility issues for keyboard-only navigation.

Template:Cape Town freeways (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox with no transclusions. Appears to have been superseded by the more comprehensive {{Cape Town}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:35, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Well, I've noticed that the "Cape Town freeways" template has got all the applicable roads mentioned in it (i.e. numbered routes with freeway sections) while the "Transport" section of the "Cape Town" template merely has a link to the Metropolitan Routes in Cape Town article appearing as Roads in Cape Town. We need to understand that Metropolitan Routes (with a letter M) are not the only numbered routes that Cape Town has & so, I am not sure if removing a template that mentions "N1; N2; N7" for a template that "doesn't mention them" is the right thing to do here. However, I will support if we agree to find a way to represent ALL numbered routes to the "Cape Town" template and not just an article representing Metropolitan Routes. Just as a side note, we have the same situation for Johannesburg road articles; you'll notice that the M1 (Johannesburg) article has got more than one template at the bottom of the article (one for "Johannesburg freeways" and one for "Greater Johannesburg").

GeographicAccountant (talk) 19:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The more comprehensive template links to the "M" and "N" roads in the "Built environment" section, along with R300 and the Peninsula Expressway. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I didn't notice that. Thanks for stating it. In that case, I support the removal of the Cape Town freeways template. GeographicAccountant (talk) 08:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support for the reasons Jonesey95 has laid out, but while we’re on the subject, shouldn’t the numbered M and N routes go in the ‘Road transport’ subsection of the larger Cape Town template rather than the ‘Built environment’ section? The current structure seems quite unintuitive, at least to me. Maybe worth considering? SunTunnels (talk) 15:24, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a nonsensical application where you have a free-to-read source that's supported by ads, that would now be tagged by both {{free access}} {{Subscription or advertising}} to give (

(subscription or advertising required)). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:POINTy nomination from an editor with the bizarre belief that it is somehow evil to try to avoid being surrounded by ads and that warning people of ads in links is participation in that evil. In any case, the rest of the nomination is factually incorrect: it is not redundant with subscription because it provides different information, and it is not "warning that there are ads on a page" but rather that the ads are unavoidable to gain access to the content. As for "unused", that may be true currently, but I don't have any way of knowing its historical usage patterns or alternatively whether its uses might have been removed recently.

—David Eppstein (talk) 01:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears only two transclusions of this template were removed in preparation for this deletion nomination, both of which were correct removals: the sources (1 2) both require a subscription, and don't allow free reading with adblockers disabled.

The linked diff certainly articulates an extreme position, and I do think the logic of this nomination is flawed, but I'm prepared to agree that this template doesn't seem built to the purpose of alerting readers that a source's publisher will not serve content if it detects an adblocker. Add in that the two transclusions live immediately prior to nomination (I may have missed some, but creeping people's contribs makes me feel icky) were both incorrect, and I mildly conclude that the project will be fine without this specific template. A more targeted version can be built to replace it if people want. Folly Mox (talk) 11:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per David Eppstein. Also, free access source with mandatory ads makes perfect sense to me. If the problem is the "subscription" part, make a third template that only says "advertising required". In my opinion, WP's users are entitled to know if a website will force them to look at ads to access the content they want, and yes, they are also entitled to not access a source based on that information. Nickps (talk) 18:13, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll admit that proposing a post-citation transclusion of this template was an inelegant and dirty middle of the road solution to the problem brought to Help talk:Citation Style 1, and no one really favoured it, but seems kinda poor form to nominate it for deletion whilst the discussion is ongoing, without even notifying the discussion that you've done so.
That being said, no one favoured this template as a solution. For the editors concerned about flagging sources that refuse to serve content if you're browsing with an adblocker enabled – always recommended for security – including two participants in the linked discussion and Nickps directly above: it should be simple to craft a template that better suits the desired signal for the relevant citations than the ambiguous output of this template, so why not delete anyway.

The result of the discussion was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion").

Until these were created, {{Category series navigation}} was used on these categories and did the same thing. The addition of more links isn't needed as using if you really want all links, just use the parent category. Gonnym (talk) 10:11, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: The duplication with existing templates, and the conflict there, could use some more discussion.

To comment on Primefac's relisting comment. The previous template work perfectly fine in these pages. The addition of more links didn't add any real value. If more links is something that is consistently wanted in categories, {{Category series navigation}} can be updated to have that option. However, one needs to show that such a feature is actually in need and not a personal singular preference. Gonnym (talk) 13:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, since it seems to be one of the better alternatives available for depicting these concepts. (I could see it being used in an article about a historical rail incident where signals were implicated, but no contemporary image of that signal aspect exists.) I'd also be interested to know if its creator has concrete plans for it. TheFeds 23:15, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. WP:TFDREASONS says that we an unused template should only be deleted if there is no likelyhood of it being used. That, by necessity requires us to make a prediction. WP:NOTCRYSTAL doesn't apply to templates I'm not saying it doesn't apply to their contents, just not to the templates themselves 15:43, 28 June 2024 (UTC) so that's fine.

Keep Third reason in WP:TFD#REASONS says to delete when a template has no likelihood of being used. Three years is not a long time; similar templates have been populated over time.

Template:Warsaw central stations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused route template. Gonnym (talk) 17:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template was originally intended to provide a reader with detailed scheme of the interchange located in the Warsaw city centre and was inclouded through the "{{Enlarge}}" function in the Template:M1 line (Warsaw Metro). There are other examples on wiki using the same solution, see Template:Railways around London Paddington station RDT linked in e.g. Template:Bakerloo line RDT. — Antoni12345 (talk) 17:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Templates should not be linked to like this as they aren't article content. If they are linked to, that means you are using them as content and they should be an article. Additionally that link itself is an MOS:EGG link, but that is the least of the problem, as links like that will practically never be found as they are hidden away like that. Gonnym (talk) 19:49, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that ship has sailed (train has left the station?) as {{Enlarge}} is now used on over 750 pages and approximately 250 other templates. Useddenim (talk) 20:17, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A local consensus in a very small part of the project does not get to override guidelines like MOS:EGG and WP:CLICKHERE. Gonnym (talk) 04:08, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonnym:

I think you're misinterpreting the use of {{enlarge}} here so that you can justify your POV in order to be able to delete {{Warsaw central stations}}; and
What's your "better" solution?

That

is untrue. Useddenim (talk) 16:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: the obvious solution is to include this RDT in the article infoboxes for the four stations it mentions, which I have done just now. Also, to confirm what Useddenim said, this RDT was not unused prior to this, as it was already linked directly to two other RDTs here: Template:WKD and here: Template:Warsaw Cross-City Line using enlarge templates. We can argue the validity of using enlarge templates in RDTs, but they officially made this RDT used nonetheless. Jackdude101 ^talk ^cont 07:25, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Side note: The enlarge template is purposely designed to link RDTs directly without having to navigate through articles, so including them is perfectly fine. I think what Gonnym is getting at above is that the enlarge template, although useful, is not an acceptable substitute for an RDT not being in the article space, and I agree. If there are no suitable articles in which to include an RDT, it's possible that the RDT's subject has not passed the WP:GNG, which in turn would apply to the RDT itself and make it worthy of deletion. Antoni12345, to prevent this issue from happening in the future with any new RDTs you make, add them to at least one appropriate article. Jackdude101 ^talk ^cont 15:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
