Template:Anon vandal (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose redirecting to Template:Uw-vandalism3. In actuality, the only part of this template that is specific to anonymous users is the last paragraph, which is redundant with adding Template:SharedIPAdvice on to a UW-vandalismX template. And the UW-VandalismX templates are superior to this template, because the series has gradations based on the faithfulness shown by the offending user. In contrast, this template assumes bad faith, and does so under the guise that it's the only template that exists to serve anonymous users. It's redundant to the UW templates.

Template:Professional Colleges of North Malabar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't see the purpose of this template. It is not a navigational template, as none of the colleges are actually linked. It seems like WP:NOTDIRECTORY Muhandes (talk) 11:14, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cleanup-now (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant with {{subst:Dated|Cleanup}}. Bsherr (talk) 22:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I suppose this was meant to save some typing. The Cleanup-now template must itself be subst-ed, so it saves one from typing only 3 characters vs. using {{subst:Dated|Cleanup}}, although {{subst:clnd}}, which redirects to this one, saves more.

  • Keep I can't see a strong argument for deleting this typing-aid template. (Never mind that most people write {{cleanup}} and have a bot write the date; it's obviously better to allow or even encourage people to add the date themselves if they can.) The name is potentially a bit long for its purpose, but the redirect avoids that. --ais523 11:45, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. Actually, I recently put in a bot request for a bot that automatically adds dates to undated articles in maintenance categories. As soon as the bot gets up and running this template (as well as others like it) will become obsolete. --vgmddg (look | talk | do) 00:46, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per above. Per ais523, most people just add the template and let a bot do the rest. If a reliable bot is set up to quickly add the date after adding the template that would be great and when vgmddg's proposal is up and running there will be little need for templates like this whose sole purpose is for users (like me) who are too lazy to type out the whole |date= parameter - these users will soon just rely on the bot do the extra work. However I don't think it's a bad idea having a method to do this and I agree with Bsherr we need one convention. That should be the {{dated}} template. This can be used for all templates and if new templates are added at a later date, using {{dated}} means extra templates don't need to be created. We don't want to start a trend of creating an additional template for all of the cleanup templates! Just have the one. Mhiji (talk) 08:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Santa Clause (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Take away the cast, which is not allowed in film navboxen, and you have only three articles to navigate among — the Laura & Neil Miller links point to other people not associated with the film.

Template:Schooldis (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Species Latin name disambiguation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{disambig}}. The {{disambig}} template now has parameters to add a page to a particular category. This has the added benefit that one disambiguation page can be added to multiple categories. Mhiji (talk) 02:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
