• Template:WikiProject Pedophilia Article Watch (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The project behind this template has been inactive for years it seems. I'd have suggested redirecting it to the Sexuality and Sexology WP banner if it weren't for the fact that most articles (all?) this is on appear to already have that banner too. Thus I think deleting it and removing all transclusions would probably be the best option. Ipatrol (talk) 19:46, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep unless Wikipedia:WikiProject Pedophilia Article Watch is deleted, considering that several inactive and/or defunct WikiProjects still have in-use talk page banner templates such as this one. Steel1943 (talk) 19:48, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Ltp (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Seems that the "Topic:" namespace was removed from the English Wikipedia a couple of years ago, rendering this template useless. (I could have tagged this redirect for {{Db-g7}}, but I’m bringing it here just in case.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:43, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Navboxes were made up nearly entirely of duplicate links to main article, and inappropriate category WP:EGGs. Nothing left to navigate with these removed. --woodensuperman 13:45, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the same fashion as Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2018 November 21#Template:Brief, these templates were created in 2006, and are fan sites that provide no new information that cannot be gained from other more reliable "external link" websites (e.g. the BBC itself), making them unnecessary. Nor would using these websites directly in an article as a source satisfy WP:RS. Per WP:ELNO: one should generally avoid providing external links to: Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites (negative ones included), except those written by a recognized authority. Some sites can provide further information, yes, as long as they're considered a reliable source. These are not. These are fan sites, not written by a recognized authority, and hence do not conform with WP:ELNO #11. It fails WP:ELYES #3, because they cannot they fail WP:ELMAYBE #4, because of the amount of uncertainty as to who these sources are. -- Alex^TW 12:17, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This is a discussion about templates not links. Consensus here can decide to delete the templates, but not to remove the links, so the former should be substituted if not kept. Absent consensus, in a more appropriate forum, to remove the links, it's better to Keep the templates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:09, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • So, your only reason to keep is for the links, with no backing guidelines or policies? My beginning of this discussion was to deleted both the templates and the links. Why would I nominate the deleting of just the wrapper? -- Alex^TW 00:18, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:WNBA Playoffs summary (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

These articles should just use {{Infobox basketball tournament season}}. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 02:16, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Rnd (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Round (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Decimals (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Rnd, Template:Round and Template:Decimals.

All redundant to each other. We should move {{rnd}} to {{round}} as Template:Round is the better name, but {{rnd}} has more features when compared to {{round}} and {{decimals}} such as adding trailing zeros (expected behavior), adding commas (makes it easier to read) and removing decimals by default (expected behavior of a template of this type).

I added transclusion count and module to the first table. Johnuniq (talk) 08:57, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge: I changed the example value in the first group to exhibit the rounding feature, and tried to describe the behaviour more precisely. I ask for adding as grouping separators spaces instead of commata, because they are easier on the eye for those being accustomed to "comma" as decimal separator (pro domo).
