Invalid template. There is no policy that outright allows for protection from deletion; even if a page isn't vandalism or a blatant hoax, it may still be eligible for deletion under other criteria. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:27, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete agree. Very weird to have a template that promises a page can't be deleted. Would be ignored in any discussion, which would occur on the merits of the article anyway. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Not a valid template for use. There is no policy that allows protection of a page from deletion. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:25, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete agree, as above. Very weird to have a template that states a page can't be deleted. Would be ignored in any discussion, which would occur on the merits of the article anyway. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOT. I'm unclear what this template does as it only links to a single article of election results. We are not a repository of election results. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:24, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
User: Yaffles1981 it was my intention to develop the politics pages for each department. Happy to take guidance but pages on other countries especially UK and US much more detailed and i didn't want to clutter the main department pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaffles1981 (talk • contribs) 09:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Error in Template:Reply to: Username not given.The only reason to delete this template, as I see it, is if the existing categories end up being deleted on "we shouldn't have this" grounds; then we can G8 this template because it's totally dependent on deleted pages.

- PS, it's easy to imagine creating an analogous template for the US. It could be called Template:Lists of National Register of Historic Places in the United States by state (categories), it could be placed atop pages like Category:Lists of National Register of Historic Places in Mississippi, Category:Lists of National Register of Historic Places in California, and Category:Lists of National Register of Historic Places in Wyoming, and it would be used for navigating among list-containing categories. It's a perfectly reasonable idea for a template, and since this template has two bluelinked list-categories so far and the potential for more, why get rid of it?

- Module:Common abbreviations (meta)/data (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Common abbreviations (meta) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Only used 15 times and does not provide a lot of options. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 02:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Discussion that led to the creation of the template. – Uanfala (talk) 10:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete or rename this template defeats its purpose by being extremely long to type, negating the point of having a template automatically insert a common abbreviation's full form. I don't think this is useful and it adds to clutter and complexity of the editing experience. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Hover title (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:H:swl (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Span title (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Hover title, Template:H:swl and Template:Span title.
They are all redundant to each other and provide the same functionality. {{Span title}} is basic and has not additional parameters. {{H:swl}} and {{Hover title}} have the same parameters (|dotted= and |highlighted= are the same). We should keep {{Hover title}} due to the higher usage count. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 02:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
