Speedy deletion

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with all the recent renamings of service award templates. However, I note that this template still has things transcluding it. Once I've figured out what's going on, I'll see what I can do about cleaning those up if someone else doesn't beat me to it. In the mean time, I ask that this template is not deleted while it still has transclusions. Thanks. – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 21:54, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I figured out what happened: Mootros moved this page to the title Template:Lord High Gom Togneme, and updated several other templates to use the new title. They then decided they didn't like this name, and copy-and-pasted the page content to Template:Gom (presumably not using the move function because the target page already existed). Next, Mootros nominated this page for deletion without updating the other templates that used it.

I have declined the deletion nomination on the grounds that deleting this page would lose the attribution history for the content copied to Template:Gom. I have tried to repair the situation as best as I can:

• I updated all the other templates to refer to Template:Gom, so nothing now refers to Template:Lord High Gom Togneme.
• I moved Template:Lord High Gom Togneme back to Template:Lord High Togneme, then re-nominated Template:Lord High Gom Togneme for speedy deletion. This gets rid of the obsolete page title while maintaining the page history here.
• Changed this page into a redirect to Template:Gom, so anything referring to this page will use the new template.

As for merging the page histories, that needs an administrator. I've made a request over at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 01:24, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

QR code

So just curious, does that QR code actually encode anything? I couldn't seem to get my smartphone to read it, possibly because it's skewed but I don't know. -- œ^™ 12:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
