Propose merging Template:Date difference with Template:Age in days.
Template:Age in days accepts the parameters that Template:Date difference does (and more). Simply redirecting Template:Date difference to Template:Age in days should do, but I'm hesitant to do so without consensus. --67.183.136.85 (talk) 21:20, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The rule of thumb at Wikipedia:Not everything needs a navbox is that there should be at least five articles for a navbox. Even that essay acknowledges, of course, that this isn't set in stone, and doesn't preempt common sense… but one article is definitely too few (i.e., even if WZRX-FM were still here this would still be a candidate for deletion, probably), much less the zero now contained here. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:20, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NASCAR movies (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I've tried to clean up this template, but the more I work on it, the more I realize that it is a hopeless navbox. It fails WP:NAVBOX items 2, 3, and 5 (out of 5), and Category:American auto racing films, not to mention the dozens of other articles in Category:Auto racing films, contains many more articles that could easily turn this navbox into a giant mess if all eligible films were included. I recommend deletion of this navbox entirely, leaving the job of connecting these loosely connected articles to the relevant categories. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:46, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If it is a defining feature of such films there ought to be an article like NASCAR movies. It seems there's just a loose connection between them, ie NASCAR, so this is better handled by categories not a navbox. Nigej (talk) 13:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Latn in Unicode (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Latin script in Unicode already displays Latin in Unicode. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:38, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, and Move into a /doc. Keep for being a useful background overview, Move into documentation ~~{{ISO 15924/doc/Latn script in Unicode}}~~ (fitting in the wide Unicode set subpages of {{ISO_15924}}) (* leaving no redirect)

1. The Latin (Latn) script in Unicode is one of the most complicated ones in the Unicode definitions. So if one can handle Latn in templates or in articles, other scripts can easily to follow (maybe Han is another useful pilot).

2. Was created (by me) to get overview of all Unicode angles of the Latn script: ISO15924-, Unicode-, enwiki- and wikidata-ID, plus their various properties: charts, blocks, code points, informal properties (eg chart subsets like 'vulgar fractions', 'math operator'—in Latin), illustrative character features (eg whitespace), non-"Latn script" Latin-like charaters (eg math symbols). To research such topics, this cross-linking overview, to include el's, is useful.

3. Also, the table might be split & developed into a more comprehensive content overview for Latin script in Unicode § Blocks.

Template:Latn in Unicode/row (now a redirect)

Subst to an article or userfy and delete. This isn't a documentation of how to use a template and as such, does not belong in any documentation sub page. This is clearly article content and either belongs in an article and should be subst there or does not belong anywhere and userfied and deleted. Gonnym (talk) 23:46, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is "documentation" as in: background info for templates (while not as a regular green /doc page). The ISO15924 templates have a dozen such documentation pages. -DePiep (talk) 12:46, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if some of those others are also incorrectly placed there. A documentation for a template should be on how to use the template. If the documentation is about ISO 15924, then that is probably either article content that belongs at 15924 or maybe too technical for Wikipedia. Gonnym (talk) 20:15, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See my #2 note about 4 IDs, their properties, and on maintaining them. I don't think the relation between ISO15924 and Unicode &tc. is "too technical" for WP. FYI, we're doing it for twelve years. -DePiep (talk) 20:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see the point and it still does not change my argument. The template in question is Template:ISO 15924 and the documentation there needs to support how to use it. Can you explain exactly how [Template:Latn in Unicode]] explains how to use the template? What parameter in Template:ISO 15924 correlates to that entire page?

This has been taken care of by incorporating it as a documentation subpage, but it is disheartening seeing these kinds of drive-by deletions without ever bringing a concern up at the template talk or the creator, maintainer, and sole editor's user talk page. Nobody does more to maintain Unicode and ISO 15924 information on Wikipedia than DePiep, and this kind of information and documentation of these standards is incredibly important to editors implementing content about writing systems.
