Unused but also something that probably should not exist. The language templates produce proper italics. If a specific template isn't producing the correct style, it should be fixed at the source. Gonnym (talk) 09:57, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies all for not using this upon creation: luckily, I've just gotten around to it. Just like {{langr}}, there are myriad situations where one should set |italics=unset on this template—many proper names that are functionally non-English are an easy class of examples: e.g. {{tlitn|zh|Gwoyeu Romatzyh}}, so a shortcut is well-justified in my view. Sorry again for getting around to it so late. Remsense ‥  16:38, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is that style of not using italics for names supported by the MoS? If so, can you point to it? Gonnym (talk) 09:35, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

This completely non-English template seems to be a duplicate of Template:Interlanguage link, which works fine. Gonnym (talk) 12:47, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated and no transclusions in any related main articles unlike {{Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship}} and {{Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship}}. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 12:29, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only 1 English WP entry. Pointless for a nav box to have 1 entry. LibStar (talk) 10:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All entries were deleted, leaving nothing to navigate. plicit 03:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions in articles. At least one editor argues that it is easier to type the characters. These templates were created in 2006; it appears that other input methods are preferred. Subst and delete. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:38, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
