The result of the discussion was Withdrawn now that it is no longer an orphan. Plastikspork (talk) 19:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Navigation template with no working links. I suggest creating the parent article first, then start working on the individual article pages, then start a navigation template. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 23:37, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * G8 since there's no parent article, so tagged. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 00:34, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - why make some poor soul put all that together twice (assuming that someone goes to work on those articles at some point in the future)? Leave it (even if it is unused) until someone gets around to making the articles. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  03:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Userfy or projectify to WP:SHIPS projectspace. 76.66.192.73 (talk) 05:40, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - notified WP:SHIPS — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  18:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I've contested the Speedy request. My thoughts were the same as Ed's. A lot of work went into the creation so deleting it because it's full of redlinks is counterproductive. --Brad (talk) 19:01, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Userfy to WikiProject Ships. This template will obviously take some time to populate— keep it in a project incubator until it is ready to hatch. ---— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 19:20, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I found an easier way out of this: parent article Type N3-S ship is now created, and I wonder if DANFS has accounts of the other ships? — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  19:28, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned TOC formating template, which reportedly does not work with IE7. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 23:27, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Unused hatnote template Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 23:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete. Since there is not a clear consensus in this discussion to remove the text entirely, the uses will be substituted, with no prejudice against editors removing the resulting text within the typical WP:BRD cycle. RL0919 (talk) 02:55, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Misuse of template space. Templates should not be used to just generate text, and all this does is create the text "This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions." Large number of transclusions, but isn't it just easier to write that out — preferably with something that specifies what "some regions" are?

 * Looks to have originally been intended as a badge of shame; I don't even see that substituting existing transclusions would be a good idea, as statements like this really demand citation. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The original idea was to gather the related releases into a category, maybe the template was too much. It used to have the copy-control logo, which made it look more like a template. However the logo was removed because it was fair use, and did not fit. The best alternative today would IMO be having a list of formats the release has been done in, and make a distinction between "red book cd" and "copy control cd". However, some people disagree with this, and claim that copy control is not a format because a copy control disc may differ from a red book cd in multiple different ways. So maybe we should go with "cd" and "cd-like medium". Now, the problem is in driving such a change through the whole Wikipedia and explaining it to users. --Easyas12c (talk) 11:04, 31 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete And substitute with text. It would be better to have an individual discussion of the Copy Control (e.g. what type, in which region), or delete it altogether. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
