Template:Asian Americans 2007 metro estimates (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template, has been substituted into the page. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:41, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Mars crater

Template:Infobox Mercury crater (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unneeded wrapper templates. All transclusions can simply use {{Infobox crater data}} directly. Precedent already established with Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2019_February_11#Template:Infobox_Venus_crater Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:31, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Fb overall competition

Template:Fb overall competition (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template which seems to be part of the set of other Fb templates which are being deleted. Gonnym (talk) 17:37, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:England conurbations

Template:England conurbations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

One transclusion. Per the template's introduction, it was created to separate the template from the article England to protect it from vandalism. However, this template has not been edited since 2010, and it is not even transcluded in England; it is transcluded in Geography of England. If vandalism ever becomes a problem again, the page where this information is can be protected, especially considering that vandals can still affect whether a template is transcluded or not. Per this information, substitute and delete as unnecessary to be a template. Steel1943 (talk) 23:11, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete per nom. --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:01, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and completely repurpose. (I'm happy to do the work.) I agree with what's said above, but at the moment I believe we don't have any navboxes linking these largest-conurbation articles, and a navbox linking the metro areas currently on this template would be useful. Nyttend (talk) 02:28, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Module:URLWD

Module:URLWD (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, but even if it were used I would nominate it for merging with Module:URL {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:57, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion (and sub-templates) - Unused and seems to be replaced by Module:Celestial object quadrangle. Gonnym (talk) 14:29, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote list modules

Module:About-distinguish (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Module:Distinguish (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Module:Main list (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Module:About-distinguish, Module:Distinguish and Module:Main list.

Nearly duplicate modules, sharing the core component of taking an unlimited number of parameters from template arguments and converting them into a list using Module:Hatnote list. All of the other features are frills that could easily be implemented in Wikitext. I've written a merged module at Module:Sandbox/pppery/sentence list hatnote (distinguishing this from the previous TfD, when no merged module was available), and written templates that use it in Template:About-distinguish/sandbox, Template:Distinguish/sandbox and Template:Main list/sandbox. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 05:34, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging participants from previous discussions: @Nihiltres, SMcCandlish, and GreenC: {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 05:35, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Module:Cat main is intentionally excluded from this nomination, because (a) it has several unique features like bolding the title and (b) there was some talk about making it not a hatnote at all. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 05:38, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds reasonable. I'm in favor of consolidating code like this whenever practical to do so. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 06:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support merger in principle, ~~oppose current implementation~~ - instead of writing the the actual text hatnote in the template and having all templates access the same module entry point, create a different entry point for each different style (then continue the code as normal, with all entry points accessing the list() function). As I've commented in a previous discussion, if we go with a module design pattern, then keep all the code there. --Gonnym (talk) 08:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I deliberately modeled my code in Module:Sandbox/pppery/sentence list hatnote after Module:Labelled list hatnote, which similarly takes all its arguments from wikitext. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 14:25, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If that is indeed the already used practice, then I don't oppose that anymore. Question, I looked at the code in Module:Labelled list hatnote and am wondering why does your module code copy so much of that code, instead of letting the Labelled list module handle it? Is there a reason I'm missing why it can't handle it? --Gonnym (talk) 14:49, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because Nihiltres opposed merging with Module:Labelled list hatnote in the July 5 TfD. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 15:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Amazing. Well, in that case there is not a lot to do. It's very silly to duplicate over 90% of a module, but it seems that there is no other way. --Gonnym (talk) 18:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to propose a merge of the two modules after this discussion concludes (I would support it). {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Module:WikiProject Central America/convert (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The bot task that once used this module finished running a year ago. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: You can just userfy this to my userspace, if you like. I prefer to retain it because I may run future bot tasks based off of this code, if I'm asked to. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 03:00, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: Done, to Module:Sandbox/BU Rob13 (the de facto equivalent of userspace for modules). Off to tfd the next module ... {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:02, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Wikipedia Requests

Module:Wikipedia Requests (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Given that no Template:Wikipedia Requests subtemplates exist that could be reached by passing more than one parameter (and furthermore, doing so is unreliable because named parameters have an undefined order), this is an unnecessary lua module that could be implemented in Wikitext. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:44, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unfinished module, which in its current state returns nothing. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:35, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't remember what I was doing with the module, so I support deletion. — Eru·tuon 03:01, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:AVN Best New Starlet

Template:AVN Best New Starlet (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

An unnecessary cross categorisation. The award is minor and lacks a stand-alone article. Compare with Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 9#Template:Pink Grand Prix: 1989. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:29, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Utility

Module:Utility (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 00:41, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I originally created this module (translated from fr:Module:Utilitaire) as one of the necessary supporting components for translating fr:Modèle:Bibliographie. The latter has been supplanted by {{cite Q}}, so this module is no longer necessary. I suppose if it becomes useful for something else, an admin can always undelete it.
