These are not templates, bottom line. See the deletion discussion for the Template:NJ Atlantic County Commissioners. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 22:08, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • This template is a violation of WP:TG, which says Templates should not normally be used to store article text, as this makes it more difficult to edit the content. Which is exactly why the previous one was correctly deleted, and exactly why these should all be deleted too. Article text should be written in articles not templates, even if similar text is warranted in a number of articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:53, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ugh; there is no policy "violation". This is a rather clear situation as specified by the guideline where the content should be in a template. Your goal appears to be to make editing these articles harder by trying to eliminate templates that make the task much easier. Editing ten templates is far easier than editing 300 articles, one at a time. Thanks so much for making the point even better than I did. Alansohn (talk) 00:12, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is a clear violation of template guidelines, as article text shouldn't be in templates. The point of templates is navigation, these templates don't aid navigation. Not sure what bit of my one-line quote is so difficult to understand? Joseph2302 (talk) 17:49, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Do you want to remove it? It exists since a long time, I have only renamed Miranda IM to Miranda NG. — Neustradamus (✉) 21:28, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No longer necessary as linear gradient is now fully supported by the MediaWiki-supported browsers. Undocumented, so the original intent of the template does not appear to be available. It kind of looks like it meant to be able to shift its color inputs from one format to another, but I don't see that as generally necessary in this kind of template. Also disenables TemplateStyles.

I've made this one use, as in all other locations it was an unneeded template. The majority of remaining uses were for box-sizing: border box and some transform, properties which are no longer necessary for the browsers that MediaWiki supports. It's not a very good template because it assumes the structure of vendor-specific CSS will be the same as the non-vendor-specific, when there are sufficiently many examples in the wild where that was not the case. It otherwise might be a reasonable template for tracking vendor specifics, but we have Special:Search these days to find uses that no longer need to have vendor specific CSS. Izno (talk) 03:10, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the creator of this template, I agree with it should be deleted. There's no longer need for the browser-specific CSS prefixes except for esoteric properties that we likely wouldn't want to rely on anyway. The pace of browser adoption of new features has greatly increased since this template was created, and these days it's best to simply wait for the broad adoption of new CSS properties before using them. --Waldyrious (talk) 03:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see a need for this template any longer. We no longer support any versions of any browsers which require the prefixed versions, meaning the only statement in the template is a pure statement of transform (see [1] versus phab:T266866). Additionally, the way this is implemented makes it fundamentally incompatible with TemplateStyles. This can trivially be added directly into the pages using this template. Subst and delete. (See similar earlier discussions about these kinds of templates at December 2020 and others there, as well as January 2021.) Izno (talk) 01:29, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, clearly taken from some other wiki as it assumes the use of the Variables extension which is not installed here. Others also unused and clearly set up for the one use of the template above. (Deliberately put here as a separate nom.) Izno (talk) 01:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
