This band's navigational template consists of two articles: the band's and one of its members' articles. These two articles already link to each other, so this navigational template has too few links, is unnecessary and WP:NENAN. Aspects (talk) 02:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Unused article assessment class templates
- Template:AN-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:GAN-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)Template:FAC-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)- Template:FT-class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
All of these templates are unused. I will go into more detail below why they are unlikely to be used, but I will start by noting none of them are recognized on the tables on Template:Grading scheme.
{{AN-Class}} is the only place on Wikipedia that references an assessment class called "AN class"; see the search results for "AN-Class" (mainspace and filespace excluded because they're not discussion namespaces and they're full of unrelated content like AN class). Yes, I do know the hyphens between words in quotation marks make no difference in search results and could be replaced by spaces.
{{GAN-Class}} and {{FAC-Class}} are unlikely to be used because WP:GAN and WP:FAC are nominations to be assessed, not assessments of quality themselves simply by merit of being nominated.
{{FT-class}} has no use case because Featured topics are not applied to individual articles, but a designation given to collection of articles. Assessment classes are only relevant for individual articles. eπi (talk | contribs) 01:49, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- {{GAN-Class}} is used in cases such as User:Iazyges/Kriegsmarine Destroyers when creating worklists. It tends to only be used temporarily while the article is awaiting review, hence why it isn't used as much as others. I still think it's useful. No thoughts on the others. (not watching, please

- Your same argument would also apply to {{FAC-Class}}. I did forgot about the Iazyges subpage transclusion, though I'll note the one transclusion currently there is outdated. eπi (talk | contribs) 02:31, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Czar: I have removed {{GAN-Class}} and {{FAC-Class}} from the nomination based on you pointing out how they can be useful in other contexts I didn't consider. eπi (talk | contribs) 03:04, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

It was deprecated in 2016 by Mr. Stradivarius in Special:Diff/755078860, and is no longer used or needed. DannyS712 (talk) 00:36, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete: Unused templates that have been replaced by a module do not need to be retained. eπi (talk | contribs) 03:12, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
