Template:Infobox benefit concert

Wasn't used in any articles until today. It was added to one article but that article should be using {{Infobox song}}. The infobox appears to be an abandoned attempt at an infobox based on {{Infobox television}}. The code used is straight from Infobox television with only minor, incomplete changes. The error tracking was still that from Infobox television, which put articles using this inforbox into television categories. AussieLegend (✉) 16:41, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as the editor that used the template without realizing how out-of-date it was... I would also be okay with redirecting the page to {{Infobox television}} so that old revisions of pages that used this template don't look wonky. - PaulT+/C 17:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hit FM Top 10 Albums of the Year

This is the type of Navbox that is probably better served as a list then a template. However, many of these albums don't even have articles and the ones that do don't mention its top ten placement nor does the Hit FM article mention anything about albums at all.

Template:Nenhum de Nós

This band's navigational template consists of one valid link: the band's article. The template has a lot of redlinks, two albums redirected back to the band's article for being non-notable and a related band article that does not include this template. This navigational template navigates nowhere, is unnecessary and WP:NENAN. Aspects (talk) 04:27, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dangerous

This template was only relevant when {{High-use}} and {{High-risk}} were two separate templates, but they have been merged in this TfD.

This survived a previous TfD as no consensus, but the circumstances are different now. eπi (talk | contribs) 21:24, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can't this simply be turned into a redirect to Template:High-use, so that editors who are used to it can continue to use it? There could be a downside due to the generic name, but are there other templates that this could be confused with? – Uanfala (talk) 12:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict × Gonnym) @Uanfala: The thing about subst-only templates is that there's probably not too many editors even aware of it, and those that are probably know it was merged. The only reason to be aware of such a template is if one was aware that high-use and high-risk were separate template; I certainly was not aware of the distinction when it existed, so most editors probably weren't either. Even if one did accidentally transclude it in that knowledge, the red-link links to this TfD, and it could be fixed (I think the probability of that is low though, which is part of the reason I'm proposing deletion).
    More broadly, the name is not particularly connected to the concepts of "high-use" or "high-risk". It's a rather generic, general title, so I don't see a reason to redirect it to this set of templates in particular (even considering its prior history).
    As for are there other templates that this could be confused with?, I just crafted a quick query to check it out. There are currently 12 other distinct non-subpage templates that contain the phrase "danger":
  • None of these have some unambiguous connection to the generic name "Dangerous". I suppose one could argue the album navbox could use that as a redirect, but I'm in favor of encouraging the "(album)" suffix. If a valid redirect use-case arises in the future, it could certainly be recreated, but I don't see an obvious one at present. Retro (talk | contribs) 11:39, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Austrian district

Replace and delete

District commission-specific wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions, on pretty stable sets of articles. 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.

Note: Despite being named "Infobox settlement" the template is not only used for settlements. Per its documentation, Infobox settlement is "used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country".

Other entities (states, court districts, cities, villages ...) already transclude {{Infobox settlement}} directly.

Template:Roster maintenance

Propose merging Template:Roster maintenance with Template:Squad maintenance.
Same exact template with the difference being the hardcoded word "Roster" or "Squad" for display (not for any internal processing). These should have a more generic name anyways, as it's not used only for sports-related templates. The tool is named "Template linking and transclusion check" so something similar can be used to name the combined template. Gonnym (talk) 09:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am not opposing. --Leyo 21:57, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Northern Arizona Elite

Propose merging Template:Northern Arizona Elite with Template:Footer Northern Arizona Elite.
{{Northern Arizona Elite}} is an older, unused duplicate of {{Footer Northern Arizona Elite}}. It has no transclusions and all of the information and functionality in the former (which is now outdated anyways) is available in the latter. Habst (talk) 07:40, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Are either of those even valid templates? Northern Arizona Elite is not an article. I can't see how if the group itself isn't notable there needs to be a navigation template for its members. --Gonnym (talk) 09:13, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • They definitely are, NAZ Elite has received a lot of mainsteam media coverage and has been deserving of an article for a while now in my opinion (like at [1] [2]). Wikipedia just takes time to catch up sometimes as there aren't many active athletics editors. --Habst (talk) 16:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
