- Template:Birth name (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Was being used on two articles, Bill Clinton and John E. Arnold. For the former, it created an unnecessary notes section which was redundant given the fact that Clinton's name change is mentioned in the first article section about his early life. For Arnold, just the reference is enough. Really unnecessary to have a template just to make note of a person's name. The same could be said if this was used on articles about women who changed their last names after getting married. Would be pointless considering how many women do change their name after getting married and such transclusions would be overkill. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:14, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: This would be the same case for
{{'s}}
which is used after italics. Once could argue that the characters 's can just be set directly and thus removing the transclusions. Do you have any rough statistics as to how many articles use "ne" directly [and could also be a transclusion? (I'm not suggesting we transclude, but wondering about the numbers.)] — DaxServer (t · c) 21:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- 390 articles use the link to the birth name article with the ne text. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: I created the template in 2019 after a couple of similar route diagrams I also created were moved from the rail transport article to templates by another user, so I proceeded to follow what I thought was the convention for this route, but the other ones have now been deleted, and in the end, the diagram could have been always in the main article because they are not used elsewhere, so I would support deleting this template, but keeping the diagram/contents in the article. Or if now that it has been reused it can be kept as is, that's fine too. --Roqz (talk) 15:42, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Roqz: the settled practice is that route diagrams should be separate templates because even a single mis-typed character can otherwise render an entire page as incomprehensible. Useddenim (talk) 15:10, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete At the moment there are being used by their main template unless someone wants to add them. But we should probably discuss the issue of these COVID data templates with the COVID-19 Project. A lot of these were created for legitimate reasons, but so many have been left unused or were merged within the related articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiCleanerMan Sandboxes are not supposed to be used by their main template. They are a place for experimenting with changes to the main template without affecting pages that use the template. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 19:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)- That I'm aware of. But these haven't been used in terms of edits in over a year or nearly two years. By used by their main templates, I meant being trancluded directing users to test out potential changes without causing major disruption to the main template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- I think your probably right. I've nominated a lot that I think were clearly of no use, so that at some point we hopefully can see "the wood for the trees". Maybe we're getting to that stage now, although when you look at a lot of the articles there's even more "culling" to be done there. Nigej (talk) 21:15, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- WikiCleanerMan and Nigej, please provide a valid TFD reason. Sandbox subpages are nearly always valid and useful, and they are likely to be used, as sandboxes often are, for template testing and development. They do not violate any guidelines or policies, and they are not redundant. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions. Content exists in a reasonable form in 2019 Prince Edward Island general election, so these templates are not usable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:07, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep all - the templates are normally transcluded into the articles on the electoral district and any notable candidates, render somewhat different information depending on which article they're in, and are part of a very large system of templates (with about 12,000 transclusions for the base template) ensuring consistency of presentation across Canadian election articles. The table in the main article does not include information on vote swing, vote change from the previous election, and campaign expenditures (which wasn't available when I started making these but should be by now). Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- I have no objection to these templates being kept if they are transcluded in articles at the end of the normal TFD discussion period. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:42, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all The information is already on the respective article as part of the article. No need for more single-use templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:13, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all as they are not transcluded. If they do happen to be transcluded by the end of this TfD in only 1 article, then subst and delete. Gonnym (talk) 08:21, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The fact that the information is already present in the election article doesn't invalidate these templates in and of itself, because the information also has to be present in the articles about each individual electoral district (tracking its historical election results across the entirety of its existence) and the MLA who represented it (tracking his or her electoral record across the duration of his or her career in politics) — and the entire purpose of using templates, instead of hardcoded tables, in each pair of relevant articles, is so that Wikipedians can't mess stuff up by editing the tables in contradictory ways. The lack of transclusions on this batch wasn't because the templates are inherently "useless", it was simply because the process of actually applying them to the relevant articles for their intended purpose was never completed — but that has now been done, and each of these templates now has two transclusions each, on the electoral district and on the MLA who won the vote, exactly as they're meant to be used. Bearcat (talk) 14:42, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Well, it hasn't been completed exactly. The 2019 electoral officer's report has more info on voter turnout and on campaign expenditures and limits, and as is to be expected the official results differ from the initially posted results in a lot of cases. I've updated Stratford-Keppoch just now and will do the other 5 later today, plus there's the other 22 districts (each with at least 2 transclusions, more often 3 since this was a protest vote election and most incumbents were not re-elected) to do. Much easier to do these corrections on 27 templates and transclude to the 54 or more articles than to update each article individually. Plus, the CEO reports are available going back to 1966, if anyone's feeling ambitious. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- I meant "completed" in the sense of "the templates have been added to the pages that they were meant to be added to", not in the sense of "all the information that could possibly be placed in the template is already there". After all, the beauty of templates is that if you change the template after it's been transcluded into articles, the change automatically propagates to the relevant articles through the template.

- Reasons for keeping this route code in separate templates are detailed in my comment above, and in the previous discussions. I welcome a wider discussion about those reasons, but I do not think that a single TFD is a good place to have a discussion about the validity of an approach used by ten thousand templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:24, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a well-established principle that route diagram templates are maintained in the template namespace and that many if not most will be single-use with their parent article. If there needs to be an RfC to reify this outcome (or overturn it) then we should figure that out, but as Jonesy95 said this isn't the place to do it. Mackensen (talk) 02:55, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
