Infobox settlement wrappers

Unnecessary wrappers for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions. Subst:itution will reduce the maintenance overhead, reduce the cognitive burden for editors, and enable articles to benefit more immediately from improvements to the current parent template.

Unused and won't ever be used because the Mediation Committee has shut down. The three templates which this template is being used on have all been nominated for deletion as unused. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:27, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unused.

All the pages on which it was used were deleted at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 February 18#Category:Roads_by_year_of_opening. This template should have been deleted at the same time, BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:29, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

9 transclusions total, including those outside of mainspace. All articles on which it is transcluded consist of perpetual motion hoaxes, except for MOS-failing one about psychoanalysis in which the stated controversy is "Para-Freudian" without any further content about it.

In fact, the template seems design primarily for pseudoscientific inventions (that no one ever sees in person). But the name (IMO) suggests that it is for inventions that were indisputably created, but either its efficacy is questioned (many hoax inventions) or inventions that actually accomplish the intended goal, but there are people with moral concerns, safety concerns, etc (nuclear reactor, sex toy, peer-to-peer, selfie stick). But how would we determine to determine which inventions are controversial enough? And is it even necessary? Delete.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:30, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

15 transclusions, and I'm sure there better Infoboxes for this.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:38, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BLP special enforcement templates

An Arbitration Committee remedy allowed administrators to take broad measures to enforce the BLP policy, known as special enforcement, but was later superseded by motion providing for general discretionary sanctions instead. The current user warning templates (BLP and defamation series) are adequate to address the new discretionary sanctions remedy. As a result, the template scheme for enforcing the superseded special enforcement remedy became deprecated. These templates, some of which have already been redirected or soft redirected, can now be deleted, as a reinstatement of this remedy is unlikely and there is little historical value in retaining them. --Bsherr (talk) 04:58, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Only 43 transclusions. We have multiple beverage infoboxes. Why not one of those?  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  07:06, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
