Ditto; this one isn't even used –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. At my present, there are no transclusions. It looks like its purpose is navigation, so I'll assess it accordingly. The set of constituents are related only to the extent that they are things that exist in nature. That's not cohesive enough for navigation purposes. --Bsherr (talk) 20:12, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto this one, for the same reasons as the last couple. It's only used in a couple places, but that's a couple places too many. (Now that I'm finding more of these; there may be more to follow. If someone thinks it's appropriate to bundle these all under one section, please feel free to do so). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:15, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For all the same reasons as LocationOfEarth immediately below. But this also has the problem that it's just a completely nonsensical grouping of articles. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:43, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:25, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is some sort of inappropriate gallery/navbox hybrid that's not being used in any sort of sane way in articles. In many cases, it's just stuck at the very bottom of the last section of the article body. As a navbox, it's redundant to {{Earth's location}}. As a gallery, it's inappropriate per the MoS. (Side notes: The template page is also being linked to directly from at least one other navbox; this is yet another instance of this "clickable" nonsense in nav templates) –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete after replacing with {{Message}}. (non-admin closure) --Trialpears (talk) 09:09, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Only 27 transclusions, so lacks community take-up. Used on talk pages, which accept messages by default, so redundant. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:12, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete , after substituting existing usages (as a wrapper of {{Message}}). (non-admin closure) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now only 11 transclusions, three on the pages of users who have not edited this year. Lacks community take-up. Used on talk pages, which accept messages (and display email links where available) by default, in standard locations, so redundant. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:10, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As one of the 11 villains still using it I don't think that there is enough usage to make it worth while keeping. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:05, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unused module. Was used in two places (and in the deleted Module:Language/text) which were replaced with different modules. Gonnym (talk) 08:31, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the sub page Module:Language/name/data should not be deleted and could probably be moved up and take its name. --Gonnym (talk) 08:32, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another redundant categories-by-year navigation template. At some point it may have been quite widely used, but by yesterday it was down to ~800 transclusions of a set of about a dozen sports team establishment category headers (e.g. {{Futsal club estcat}}). I have updated all those templates to use {{Navseasoncats}}, and this template is now unusued. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, and very likely to remain so, as the parent article was merged into Dublin Bus. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:10, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Decline stale

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was keep. If a future discussion determines that this type of unblock decline is no longer acceptable, there is no prejudice against renomination of this template for deletion. Primefac (talk) 00:46, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose to deprecate this template for the following reasons:

  1. It does not encourage admins to review the block - i.e. this encourage admins to be lazy. It also does not encourage discussion or comment in detail (by blocked user or other community members).
  2. The message is obscure for blocked users (In many cases, it is better to point out the issue in the unblock request)
  3. In some times this template is not used properly, e.g. used more than one time by same user regarding the same block, which is not encouraged by Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Unblock_requests. GZWDer (talk) 02:24, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Note that I created this template. Prior to unblock reviewers using this template, unblock requests simply stayed open for weeks or occasionally months at a time. This does nobody any good. Far better to point out to the user that their unblock request was no good and if they wish to be unblocked, they need to rewrite it. Yes, it's better if the reviewing admin specifically makes a decision, but that often does not happen. Right now, for example, Category:Requests for unblock has 51 unblock requests, far beyond the "backlog threshold" of 15, and five of those have been open longer than 14 days. While the template wording could be tweaked, the reality is that this template is necessary to give blocked users a path forward. --Yamla (talk) 11:54, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's challenging, though. I literally don't know why nobody else decided to take action on an unblock request, as they didn't leave any breadcrumbs. What would you have suggested for that particular example? --Yamla (talk) 21:33, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I disagree with the nomination statement that it encourages admins to be lazy. There is a two week period during which most unblock requests are either accepted or declined. This is for the small minority that have probably already been looked at by most admins involved with unblock requests, and therefore unlikely to proceed any further no matter how long they stay open. — O Still Small Voice of Clam 20:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That's what the two week period is for. And yes, that would still be helpful once the unblock request has become stale, but admins were often simply declining to take any action at all, prior to this template. So, this at least offers a path forward. Perhaps, rather than deleting this template, you might want to suggest a few specific ways it could be made more precise? --Yamla (talk) 21:32, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the suggestion of needing more information is a good one, and I've expanded it with text copied from the default decline message. — O Still Small Voice of Clam 08:06, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. I will note there is no prejudice against renomination should the number of links drop. Primefac (talk) 00:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two links here, not enough to justify the existence of a navbox. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:29, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 01:26, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can think of no proper use for this template; it seems to have been added to the top of articles or talk pages by a total of 3 editors. DGG ( talk ) 00:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
