Unused, user-specific test templates and modules, created in 2019. Gonnym (talk) 18:42, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Simple single use table. Subst into article and delete template. Gonnym (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Riskofspam created VisionOS version history too which is a redirect now. As there are only two versions of VisionOS there is no need for a separate article or template. Killarnee (talk) 21:06, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions or incoming links. Created in 2011. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:22, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links. Created in June 2024. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navbox template. There are too many sports injuries, for example most of the pages in Category:Overuse injuries and in Category:Dislocations, sprains and strains, for a navbox like this to be comprehensive and useful. Categories work better. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:18, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This infobox is used on a single event page, which could use Template:Infobox recurring event without needing any change to it. Gonnym (talk) 18:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are a few more untranscluded COVID-related templates. They should either be incorporated into articles, moved to Project space, or deleted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:30, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was tagged for G6 speedy deletion by Awesome Aasim with the following rationale: A single standardized template now provides the messages, also phab:T229992. The G6 tag sat in the queue for over a week and no admin was comfortable acting on it, so I'm sending it here as a procedural nomination. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article content on template space. Only used on two articles. All information on this template can be found on respective articles. This template is not giving any information that requires a template to do so or better of in template space. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:08, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The years can be added to the tables at States and federal territories of Malaysia. Also, this is an inproper use of navbox to store article content in the middle of an article. Navbox are hidden in mobile. Gonnym (talk) 09:18, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and only one link. No navigation. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unhelpful navigation template. Gonnym (talk) 09:19, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused map. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and only one article linked. This is a new award and it happened for the first time this year. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:58, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and no information can be displayed for use as it uses graphs and graphs are not working for the time. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:57, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused with no mainspace article. Nothing connects other than the similarities of these laws. No real unifying topic presented. All articles are under Category:Freedom of information legislation in the United States. But no main article exists for this category so a navbox isn't necessary or needed. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contains only one link to any article of relevance outside the main article. No navigation. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:50, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. Navigation templates without navigation both confuses readers, and makes the encyclopedia look incompetent. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Had been deleted before for not having any links. Now has only one link to an article of relevance. No navigation. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:50, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and all links are redirected to the main article. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, documentation, categories, or incoming links. Created in April 2024. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Object as the creator. This is a template that largely exposes the Shindo module in a manner that can be used by casual users. We can use it as a placeholder to redirect users to more appropriate templates. Awesome Aasim 15:59, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What's the purpose of this specific template? If it's only use is documentation, it does not belong there. Gonnym (talk) 18:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If a new scale is added to the module, but that scale's template cannot exist for some reason because the template already exists, then this can be used instead to invoke that seismic intensity scale. Awesome Aasim 19:37, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the templates like Template:JMA and Template:CWA I actually think those should be deleted. {{Shindo|JMA|1}} works and that is much better than needing to create a new template for each scale when there is no real reason for it. So I support the opposite, replace the various scales with this. Gonnym (talk) 20:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome Aasim, thank you for adding basic documentation and a category. This template appears to do most of what {{CSIS}} and similar templates do. Would you be open to a merge to single template? It looks like someone might have to add a few features/parameters to {{Shindo}} to make the merge easy to perform. If you think a merge is possible, I'll be happy to add relevant templates to this TFD. A complete list of those templates would be helpful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am terrible at documenting my code, sorry. I make the individual scales invocable for ease of template creation. I have no objections to a merge, but be aware that a lot of the work I did for the module was to ensure backwards compatibility with the previous template code.
I do think there are some useful areas like templatestyles and the like to make the coloring more uniform and dark mode compatible, which currently this module isn't. But that will require a bit of testing, and I do not want to break a thousand pages to attempt to make dark mode work. Awesome Aasim 22:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
