Portal:Trinidad and Tobago/On this day subpages


This nomination is for the dozens of empty, boilerplate sub-pages rather than the main calendar page. Unused boilerplate that has never been touched since creation. Sub-pages for dates and months should be created as and when there is content for them, rather than being created in advance. The existence of these pages means that all the supporting template code needs to be kept around and maintained when there is no evidence it'll ever get used, and clogs up the PrefixIndex listing for the project when maintaining the parts which are actually used.

 * We are still improving the Portal and also we getting some infromation about the Two Islands History on that day. (Kylekieran (talk) 14:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)}
 * That's irrelevant. There is still no need to have empty boilerplate pages for dates or months in which there is no data. All that does is make it more difficult to navigate or maintain what (little) content there actually is. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 21:52, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * So specifically which pages are you nominating? It seems to me that an empty page is no bad thing, since otherwise we use expensive "ifexists" parser functions, or have redlinks. Rich Farmbrough, 16:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC).

Let me get this straight: because there is a nomination for the deletion of empty boilerplate pages, Rich Farmbrough starts creating dozens more of such empty pages, blatantly against his own WP:Editing restrictions (and with completely incorrect edit summaries "Fix refs and minor fixes using AWB" to boot)? How WP:POINTy can you get? Fram (talk) 06:57, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Everything under special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Trinidad and Tobago/On this day with the exception of the root page itself. Maintaining nearly 400 pages for the sake of what appears to be less than 400 words' worth of content (last updated fifteen months ago) is not a productive activity. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 08:21, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: I have added noinclude tags to the MfD template, as it was nominating Portal:Trinidad and Tobago for deletion. I hope that was not the intent. Monty  845  22:04, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete all the pages at Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Trinidad and Tobago/On this day for being empty boilerplate pages. Cunard (talk) 22:56, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
