Unused template. Gonnym (talk) 23:52, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment the template name doesn't make sense, If kept this needs to be renamed. Suggest {{Ifexist subpage then transclude}} -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:02, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions. Superseded by {{Afroasiatic languages}}, which contains all of these navboxes and a few more. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:09, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've added the template to Chadic languages, though I don't think it makes sense to use it on any other articles. {{Afroasiatic languages}} in its current form is a monstrosity that should only be used on Afroasiatic languages. – Uanfala (talk) 16:36, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - Can't we just add {{Chadic languages}} to {{Afroasiatic languages}} instead of the 4 templates there relating to Chadic languages and then we wouldn't have the current undesirable duplication and {{Afroasiatic languages}} wouldn't be such a monstrosity either. Nigej (talk) 16:58, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 23:48, 13 January 2022 (UTC)- Delete as a pointless wrapper. If the intention is to only have those 4 navboxes on Chadic languages, then use those 4 templates. We don't need a template that holds those templates for that. Gonnym (talk) 23:48, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per Gonnym. In fact a wrapper for navboxes is nearly always counterproductive. Having to open a wrapper before opening a second template is all going to discourage users from using these for their actual purpose, navigation. Nigej (talk) 06:36, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

- Template:PartofWPIran (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:PartofWPMAURITIUS (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
No transclusions, no incoming links. If we ever tagged WikiProject pages in this non-obvious way, we no longer do so; categories work just fine. See previous TFD (December 2020) about a similar template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Also note that there are at least a dozen or so similar templates that have a few transclusions but that are probably similarly inappropriate. Since they are transcluded, they should not be added to this nomination, but a separate nomination would be fine. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've never noticed these but these are really bad. Template:PartofWPLDS for example is used directly on articles. Gonnym (talk) 22:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment The solution obtained from the TfD for "PartofWPPUNJAB" was to move it into projectspace as a subpage. This could be carried out for all of these that were discovered. Wikipedia:WikiProject Punjab/PartofWPPUNJAB (2017 TfD) -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:19, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment These are all formatted the same way. A MetaTemplate should be built, instead of each of these coding their own divs. That would standardize the look and the templates could all then be traced back to the metatemplate. These all look akin to {{topicon}} ; perhaps that could be used as a solution to standardizing these. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:30, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. We have WikiProject banners that go on talk pages. There is no reason for another tag on the non-talk page. Gonnym (talk) 22:39, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment looks like {{PartofWPIran}} was replaced by {{PartofWPIran2}} -- therefore REDIRECT {{PartofWPIran}} to {{PartofWPIran2}} -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:24, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete All completely unnecessary. eg Wikipedia:WikiProject Iran/Open Tasks (tagged with {{PartofWPIran2}}) doesn't need to be so tagged, its clearly part of the project from its name and the banner on the talk page. So the template simply provides a clickable flag which takes you to the project page. If the article is in the right place (as here) it's very easy to get there anyway and if it's not, it needs moving. Worse, some of these "PartofWP..." templates are now in user talk pages.

No transclusions, incoming links, documentation, or categories. The only substantive edits were creation in 2005. This may have been used at one time, but its utility appears to have diminished to zero. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:50, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions. Sidebar with no main article and only four linked articles. Category:Parks and commons in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury is probably sufficient to link these articles together. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:36, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links. Only substantive edits were creation in 2007. Template:Parameter footer: searching for the name of this template in template space turns up nothing, so it does not appear to be called by any other templates.

Used on two articles (one after I remove it in a moment), with a half-dozen links to the main page and little else. Basically, there isn't enough here to merit a sidebar. Primefac (talk) 19:57, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Used in one portal but does the same exact thing as Template:Purge link portals just resizing it a little. I don't think that the resize is helpful, but even if it were, a resize parameter could have been added. No need for another template. To be clear though, I propose a replacement and deletion, not a merge, as 489 portals work fine with the standard size compared to this one usage. Gonnym (talk) 17:05, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Unused in actual portals and only used in two archived talk pages. Should be subst there and deleted. Gonnym (talk) 17:01, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Subst/Delete Part of a proposal from 2005 to add this template to every page: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_I#Add_Categorybrowsebar-like_wikilinks_to_every_wikipage. Seems it was originally called "Eight portals links" then "Ten portals links" and now has nine portals. Clearly the links to {{Eight portals links}} need sorting out too before that is deleted too.

No transclusions. Replaced by {{EstcatCountryDecade|Myanmar}}
in Category:1980s establishments in Myanmar. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Superseded by the generic template noted. Nigej (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- The above claims are inaccurate. This template was never used on the 1980s decade category, but on year categories within that range, namely Category:1980 establishments in Burma to 1988. It has not been superseded by a generic template. Rather, as part of the roll-out of {{navseasoncats}} two years ago, user:BrownHairedGirl replaced it with nine lines of tailored code. I suggest that it would be better to insert more instances of {{resolve category redirect}} within {{EstcatCountry}}, for the parent categories that are generated by that template, and then replace the nine lines of code with that. Once that has been done, a few more category redirects between old and new country names in anachronistic years & decades will make EstcatCountry suitable to replace the nominated template's siblings: {{Namibia 1910s estab by year}}, {{Thailand 1930s estab by year}}, and perhaps {{Russia 1910s estab by year}} – which is a little different as it has separate lines for Russian Empire and Russia. – Fayenatic London 20:01, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. However eg Category:1982 establishments in Burma seems to work ok without it. We don't have a {{Myanmar 1970s estab by year}} but Category:1972 establishments in Burma also seems to work well, so I still don't see the point of retaining the highly specific template we're discussing. Nigej (talk) 20:36, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Fayenatic london, thanks for that explanation. Is this template still useful in some way? It sounds like it has been superseded by BrownHairedGirl's useful code updates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:41, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- No, this can go. Its purpose was to bridge the change of name in categories from Burma to Myanmar in 1989 – that's why there was no need for e.g. a 1970s template. It is now no longer needed since Tom.Reding put the "resolve category redirect" functionality into Navseasoncats. As for sibling templates, there are also {{Russia 1720s estab by year}}, {{Russia 1720s disestab by year}} and {{Russia 1910s disestab by year}}. – Fayenatic London 08:11, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

- Fix {{EstcatCountry}} and use it per Fayenatic. Fix EstcatCountry either by using {{Resolve category redirect}} or by placing a specific Burma check for years 1980-1988. In categories it is better to use one of the category templates than use manual categories as changes to the template will be missed by those not using it. Gonnym (talk) 21:47, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

I am new to TfD so this might not be the best phrased argument, but this seems like a version of CROSSCAT for templates. I do understand all of these counties are Majority-minority counties, but that seems like not enough of a notable piece of information about these counties to group them together in a template. Maybe this might work a bit better as a category? TartarTorte 01:48, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per above. Clearly {{Midwestern U.S. majority-minority counties}}, {{Northeastern U.S. majority-minority counties}} and {{Southern U.S. majority-minority counties}} should be covered in the same discussion. We have articles like Majority minority in the United States, List of majority-Black counties in the United States, List of majority-Hispanic or Latino counties in the United States etc, which cover the topic in a better way. For a good navbox "The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent" and that's not the case here, simply because they're only connected by being majority-minority.
