The result of the debate was KEEP Seriously. It has it uses. (TINC) -- Drini 17:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Template:Sprotect-banneduser
Preventing edits by sockpuppets is not one of the proper uses of semi-protection as given on Semi-protection policy, and Sock puppetry does not list semi-protection among the proper ways to deal with sock puppets. Brian Kendig 21:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not. Delete. Fr e ddie Message? 02:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- ADNghiem501 07:35, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to sprotect, as redundant; but the argument of the nom is wrong. Editing by sockpuppets is treated as vandalism; and vandalism by new accounts, including new sockpuppets, is one of the chief purposes of sprotection. Septentrionalis 20:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Redirecting to that link can cause double redirect, you'd rather say redirect to Template:Sprotected. -- ADNghiem501 00:53, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The template says: This article is currently semi-protected to prevent sockpuppets of banned users from editing it. The purpose of sprotection is not to prevent sockpuppets from editing an article; the purpose is to deal with cases of serious vandalism to an article. Vandalism will either be handled by the sockpuppet rules already in place or by the semi-protection rules already in place - we don't need a separate template for sockpuppet vandalism. - Brian Kendig 02:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree. Any sockpuppet with account used in more than four days can edit semi-protected articles. It's more likely a problem. -- ADNghiem501 02:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - This has nothing to do with sockpuppetry; It has to do with banned users. And I quote: "All edits by a banned user made since their ban, regardless of their merits, may be reverted by any user. As the banned user is not authorised to make those edits, there is no need to discuss them prior to reversion.". It's use is specifically for pages out of the mainspace as a additional measure, and it is mostly used in cases where a template such as   would apply. --Avillia  (Avillia me!) 01:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Note: IP's first edit. --Avillia (Avillia me!) 23:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Template:Sprotected. - brenneman  color="000000" title="Admin actions">{L} 07:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Since the banned user's main account is, ah, blocked indefinitely, then any edit by that user is by definition via a sockpuppet. I'm not sure what's hard about this. Mackensen (talk) 15:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Amorrow, Lir, Rgulerdem, Wik, the Bogdanov brothers, Lightbringer, DickyRobert, etc., they all have their favorite pages which they continue to edit whenever they get the chance. It's important that the reason be made clear in these cases. I would even recommend a separate category for such pages. The problem we have is people who (acting in the best of faith, of course) don't know the story behind the pages that they are unprotecting, and will say, "oh, that's not vandalism... why did you rollback? why did you block? why did you protect the page?" — Jul. 3, '06  [15:53] < [ freak]&#124;[ talk] >
 * Speedy keep: this is not the same as, and cannot be implemented in terms of a meta-template invocation of that template either. Given that semi-protection has come to the attention of more people recently, it is necessary to make certain that the reason for applying it to any given article is explained as clearly and unambiguously as possible.

The result of the debate was Delete These kinds of things should be done directly, and using a template only makes diffucult handling of category (hides it at the edit dialog, confuses bots, etc)-- Drini 17:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Template:Yp
Is there really a need for a template that simply puts articles into a category? It could easily be subst in a few minutes. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. CG 09:15, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep So make it subst-only like afd. I'm not sure the cat is useful, especially since most of these look like fair-use; but that's for CfD; and even so it will shorten the cat typing considerably. Septentrionalis 20:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Template:World Heritage Sites in Scotland
Duplicates Template:World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom, and its use hides the other UK sites for navigation within Scotland. Astrotrain 20:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - redundant. Craigy (talk) 22:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; although if the Scotland template were not already a subset of the UK one (in terms of content), then I'd vote for a merge. Either way, there aren't so many entries as to make the UK template unweildy, and having all the UK sites together may help people who are visiting or researching them. – Kieran T (talk  19:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Template:Free to use
I really don't understand what this template is for. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose (but I might be missing something obvious, I don't know). It's also plain text so doesn't really need template space. I say delete, but if I am missing a really obvious use for this template, someone please tell me ;) —  Fire Fox  16:10, 23 June '06
 * Delete I think it's used to say that the images are not linked to any other pages (i.e. ready for deletion). Delete as you can tell if a image, article, etc is linked to a page by clicking on 'What links here'. - Nick C 19:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
