Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 May 8
There is no reason to deprecate a sidebar template. It either is useful and the deprecation template should be removed, or it should be replaced and the template deleted. Gonnym (talk) 22:20, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Election box majority (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Election box margin of victory (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
I recommend redirecting {{Election box majority}} to {{Election box margin of victory}}, which has identical code with one exception: it uses the unambiguous term "margin of victory" instead of the ambiguous (some would say incorrect) term "majority" to indicate the margin of victory between the second-place and first-place candidates, per MOS:COMMONALITY. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:51, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- "Majority" is commonly used and understood, particularly in British English and British political discussion. Would this deletion/replacement cause unnecessary disruption for what is just a difference in a turn of phrase? doktorb wordsdeeds 20:52, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed - majority is invariably used in British politics. Icc27 (talk) 21:10, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:IFL awards (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
All of these links but one are redirects. These awards aren't notable enough for standalone articles. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Template:Police and crime commissioner by-elections (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused new navbox redundant to {{2014 United Kingdom local elections}} and {{2021 United Kingdom local elections}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:02, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Current Frederick County Council (Maryland) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Navbox with no transclusions, no main article, and no blue links in the body. Members of an elected county council for a county with a population of 271,717 are unlikely to be notable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, no main space usage, if it was used it could be replaced by other things. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:25, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Charter school (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
No transclusions or incoming links to explain why it was created. Created in 2021. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:50, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Not gonna lie, I made this with no knowledge of how to make templates. Since I still know nothing about making templates, I am agnostic to the deletion of this template. TheGEICOgecko (talk) 22:13, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
No transclusions. The main article for the 2025 prizes has not been created yet, and the first prize announcements won't be made until 6 October 2025, five months from now. Delete, without prejudice to recreating the template when it is actually useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:02, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep -- what is the purpose of going through a giant bureaucratic timesink to delete the template, then force somebody to recreate the entire thing and all its formatting de novo in a couple months? jp×g🗯️ 19:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- The template appears in a report every day until it is transcluded. That means this unused template would be cluttering up 180 or so versions of the report. If there is a guideline for "templates can be created X time in advance of their need", I haven't seen it. The TFD guidelines say
The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used.
Interpreted strictly, {{2056 Nobel Prize winners}} has a likelihood of being used in 31 years, but no reasonable person would keep it here at TFD. Where is the line, even if it is fuzzy? Editors appear to want to create templates far earlier than their use date, possibly thinking that Wikipedia is some sort of game that you "win" by being "first" at something. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:31, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Template:Wbhoflink (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This was a temporary solution after a change in the format at the wbhof website. It's been over 5 years, so it's safe to say that all articles are using the new format now. Frietjes (talk) 14:24, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
All entries were deleted, nothing to navigate. ✗plicit 14:23, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
This is a random collection of templates and is unused on the pages it links to. Move to user's subpage as their own navbox. Gonnym (talk) 11:06, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Userfy per nomination. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:03, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Userfy, if this is something a user finds useful, they can have it as a subpage. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:16, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Unused another than in one old talk archive. Disable or subst template there and delete template. Gonnym (talk) 10:22, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

This small version while linked as an option from Template:Recent AfDs is not used anywhere. Seems there is no need for this style. Gonnym (talk) 10:16, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Template:Eigo (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This template is seemingly almost never used and only adds confusion to the many Japanese language templates out there. Template:Nihongo krt has replaced this template and is more closely maintained. Alxeedo ゐ talk 06:23, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete unused in mainspace. Vestrian24Bio 11:50, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
