Initially thinking this template had benefits in terms of navigation. However, only one article is linked outside of the main article and the meteorological history article. Fails the necessary amount of links needed for a navbox. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:17, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Only linked to one article within the navbox. Two articles exist about the hurricane. If the navbox had both, the navigational benefit still wouldn't have been met. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:35, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Out of synch with the series of templates used for early Western (genre) film stubs. It is effectively a duplicate of Template:1920s-Western-film-stub. It is unused too because the talkie films in the 1920s Western category have been developed beyond stub class. Other templates in the series are Template:1890s-Western-film-stub, Template:1900s-Western-film-stub, Template:1910s-Western-film-stub, Template:1930s-Western-film-stub, etc. Could probably be speedy deleted.

Unused. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A structure like this would work I believe, fairly trivially (further evaluation at your leisure: 

<div class="historical-affiliations">
<div class="historical-affiliations-title">Historical affiliations</div>
<ul>
  <li style="display: flex">
    <img/>
    <div>Country</div>
  </li>
</ul>
</div>

--Izno (talk) 19:50, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at this further, this won't work either because the text for all the rows should line up, even the ones that don't have an image. Maybe a grid layout could be used, but I don't think that'd be much better than an table. – BrandonXLF (talk) 23:14, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You can wrap the image in its own div and size it directly since you're sizing the image anyway. Then without an image you still have the div hanging out providing that desired padding. --Izno (talk) 14:36, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Module:Sandbox/BrandonXLF/historical affiliations and User:BrandonXLF/historical affiliations since it's still under development. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:46, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete Module:Trunc, redirect Template:Trunc. Izno (talk) 15:50, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Module:Trunc with Module:String.
String-related Lua functions generally get consolidated in one module, not one for each individual template. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 1: Module:String is only for commonly-used basic string functions, while this is an unusual module, used only in {{Trunc}}. The natural target of a possible merge would be Module:String2. This was previously proposed at Module talk:String2#implementing Template:trunc in Lua.
Comment 2: {{Trunc}} was previously used in 4,400 pages, but is now down to ~230 transclusions, apparently all in the Talk namespace, from subst'ing an old version of {{sofixit}}. GKFX was saying they were going to clean up uses of {{Trunc}}, so perhaps things are now better. The tidiest result, I think, would be to clean up the remaining uses of {{trunc}} via WP:AWB (if possible), then delete {{Trunc}} and Module:Trunc. — hike395 (talk) 04:41, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete {{trunc}} and Module:Trunc I eliminated all uses of {{trunc}} and Module:trunc that were subst'ed from {{sofixit}}. There are 62 transclusions left: should we delete? Or just leave those last ones alone? — hike395 (talk) 05:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete {{trunc}} and Module:Trunc, replace with {{#invoke:string|sub}} or {{str left}}. There are a fairly large number of methods of carrying out this operation ({{#invoke:string|sub}}, str sub new, str sub old, str left, {{#invoke:ustring|sub}}, and more!), so “trunc” is certainly a redundant template. Given how few transclusions it now has I would recommend deletion in favour of these other methods. I've advocated cleanup of the substring templates before, which is why I opposed addding this to String2 in the doscussion linked above. My justification is that there are a large number of unclearly named string templates which can and should be replaced by use of Module:String|sub or similar, since that is only one function to learn and can chop bits off both ends of the string at the same time.User:GKFXtalk 06:41, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete trunc per GKFX. Gonnym (talk) 12:29, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect {{trunc}} to {{str left}} GKFX's comment made me refine my !vote. We can largely support the remaining 62 24 uses of {{trunc}} by redirecting it to {{str left}}. (It's not a perfect substitute, but it's good enough for such a small number of uses). In any event, we don't need Module:Trunc any more, so I'm still supporting its deletion. — hike395 (talk) 14:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As nominator I am also fine with deleting Module:Trunc and deleting or redirecting {{trunc}} to {{Str left}} * Pppery * it has begun... 14:46, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
