Discussion

 * SporkBot was approved to remove such templates, but Plastikspork agrees that having a second bot might be helpful (since they're not always around to start the process).
 * Quick question: Gen fixes, yes or no?— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 22:50, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Nope. Primefac (talk) 15:19, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

 * This will probably be in drips and drabs, since there aren't currently many templates to delete.
 * - 4 edits (messed up the BRFA link trying to fit it all in, will double-check next time). Note that two of these (1, 2) are currently at AFD.
