Unused sub-templates of Template:WikiProject Aviation. Gonnym (talk) 08:04, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

{{WikiProject Aviation/Timestamp}}
is a substitution template, per the template coding -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 12:25, 11 March 2022 (UTC)- Find where it is used. Placing the {{Always substitute}} template isn't a free pass to being unused. Gonnym (talk) 14:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't say it was a free pass. However, it is a substitution template, since it includeonly's subst statements. Considering that it doesn't subst in a tag indicating it was substed, and it substs in a timestamp, there's no way to tell if it is used. I have not made a statement saying that we should keep it either. I have said it is a substituted template -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 18:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

exists, so why shouldn't{{WikiProject Aviation/sandbox/class}}
also exist? -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 12:53, 11 March 2022 (UTC)- Keep
{{WikiProject Aviation/sandbox/class}}
it is the sandboxed version of the subtemplate{{WikiProject Aviation/class}}
for the sandbox template{{WikiProject Aviation/sandbox}}
and should exist as long as{{WikiProject Aviation/sandbox}}
and{{WikiProject Aviation/class}}
also exists -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 12:53, 11 March 2022 (UTC)- Comment perhaps it should be renamed to Template:WikiProject Aviation/class/sandbox, while keeping a redirect behind at the current location -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 13:28, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- We could but there really is just no reason to. Project tagging templates are simple wrappers which barely change. If the editors of the template themselves do not use this sub-template old sandbox, then why keep it around? To be clear, I'm against keeping it and would rather delete it. Gonnym (talk) 14:25, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I suggest that you delete
{{WikiProject Aviation/sandbox}}
first then. If that is not deleted, then the classmask should not be deleted either, as I would suppose that people wishing to modify a sandboxed version of the template would wish to modify the template, which would include its classmask. If{{WikiProject Aviation/sandbox}}
is first deleted, then this would simply be a subtemplate dependent on a deleted main template. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 18:51, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep Template:WikiProject Aviation/sandbox/class and rename it to Template:WikiProject Aviation/class/sandbox, as template sandboxes are standard and I don't find the argument against having it convincing. Delete the rest as unused. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:35, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. There is a much better map in the one article that could use this content, International League. (This template survived a previous TFD by being transcluded, but it is not in use at this time, and the map in the article is much better.) – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:29, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
- A little premature, isn't it? We still have separate articles on Triple-A East and International League, since the latter was thought to be defunct and the former to be its successor. Has discussion yet taken place on whether the "new" IL is a continuation of the old one? Even if we so decide, it may be helpful to retain this map as it depicted the club locations as they existed for a long period of time immediately prior to the MiLB takeover.

- No, it's not at all premature. We should not be giving content three chances at life just because it happens to be in a template. Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 19:35, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. The name of the template does not match its contents. {{Nepal topics}} is more comprehensive and used on some of the articles linked from this unused sidebar. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:19, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions, documentation, incoming links, or categories. This was probably set up as a temporary maintenance template (the category was deleted as empty in 2018), but since there is a pretty limited possible set of articles to which this template could apply, it does not appear to be usable any more. {{Infobox time zone}} is transcluded in 72 articles, and the articles in Category:Time zones that don't use it can be gone through manually to see if this infobox would be useful there. It is probably just as easy to insert an infobox as it would be to add this template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:26, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions. Probably updated to Module:Adjacent stations where it was transcluded, like most other NYCS templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
