{{WikiProject Libertarianism}} is not a WikiProject, but a taskforce of {{WikiProject Politics}} @ Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics/Libertarianism. {{WikiProject Politics}} already has parameters |libertarianism= & |libertarianism-importance=, so replace all ~1100 transclusions of {{WikiProject Libertarianism}} with equivalent transclusions of {{WikiProject Politics|libertarianism=yes|...}}, then delete {{WikiProject Libertarianism}}.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  19:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions or incoming links. Created in 2021. People have probably replaced it with the more standard {{flag|Ukraine|1991}} where it was used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused other than in two very old talk pages. Subst there and delete template. Gonnym (talk) 12:33, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Glass

[edit]

Propose merging Template:WikiProject Glass with Template:WikiProject Physics.
{{WikiProject Glass}} is not a WikiProject, but a taskforce of {{WikiProject Physics}} @ Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Taskforces/Glass. Taskforce-ify {{WikiProject Glass}} into {{WikiProject Physics}}, then replace all ~1900 transclusions with {{WikiProject Physics|glass=yes|...}}.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  01:24, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but I would recommended leaving it a wrapper template as that makes it easier to find when assessing. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:34, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I personally would support complete deletion. I found that the wrappers are more trouble than they are worth. Editors adding these with, or without tools, do not even care they are adding duplicate templates so we will end up with both the Glass wrapper (which would be subst by a bot) and the Physics one. Gonnym (talk) 08:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Quite a few of the tagged articles are more to do with art rather than physics and merging the banners would add the physics banner to a number of pages that are not relevant to the physics project. Maybe the glass project should not be a taskforce or maybe they need to tidy up the tagging to be just physics related first? -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:48, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics/Taskforces/Glass & Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics notified.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  19:56, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support or delete glass WikiProject is dead.--ReyHahn (talk) 16:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem here is that while "WikiProject Glass" is actually a physics taskforce, it's been used and perceived as it's own thing (because the banner is separate). So, (as said above), some are WP Physics, some are WP Materials (and sometimes maybe also WP Physics), and some are WP Visual Arts. So, absent reclassifying 1900 articles, how can the correct WikiProjects be set?
The scope says "The project is listed as a taskforce of WikiProject Physics, but since the scope is larger than only the physical aspect of glass (chemistry, history of glass, glass art, ...), it is set up independently of WikiProject Physics." So, I wonder why it got set up as a taskforce anyway?
From a look at the task force page (Wikipedia:WikiProject_Physics/Taskforces/Glass), the taskforce is slightly active (last post -- 1 year ago). And the project page itself has some really good resources and a great scope writeup.
Based on that, Oppose: WikiProject Glass should be made its own WikiProject, as long as the people who work on it are OK with that (if they don't exist, just mark the new WikiProject inactive) because it de-facto is its own WikiProject anyway, and it's useful if the article are also labeled "WikiProject Physics" because not all WikiProject Glass articles are physics-focused. Mrfoogles (talk) 03:52, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recognize it seems pointless to make it its own WikiProject if its inactive, but it's not like we delete WikiProjects for being inactive anyway, and this basically is already its own WikiProject. It's just set up in the wrong place, as far as I can tell (if anyone here knows why it's set up a Physics taskforce, that would probably be useful). Mrfoogles (talk) 03:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree in that Glass should have been set up as its own WikiProject, but it is what it is.
Glass & Physics were both notified 11 days ago, and the only respondent from either appears to be ReyHahn.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  14:36, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
