The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 17:17, 16 December 2015 (UTC) unused and redundant to. Frietjes (talk) 21:32, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Convert/getunit
 * Convert/getu2
 *  Keep and don't bother Delete. There are some 2800 old idle Template:Convert/... subtemplates like this, since we have module:Convert (Dec 2013). The only old wikicode templates that matter today are in -- cat name says it. So: unless an old Convert/... thing is invading mainspace, we leave them alone (and maybe we'll mass-delete those 2800 later on). -DePiep (talk) 22:40, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Convinced by below @18:07. Keyword is: "forward". re IP to keep them for studying: better not, they are not live any more and so not maintained (neither is their /documentation). -DePiep (talk) 19:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep if these are needed to make sure that old convert works properly (And as we are not deleting parserfunction CONVERT, the subtemplates needed to make it work properly should be kept) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:56, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment This one is not required to make old convert work; nonetheless, I can't see the point. Old convert has been superseded by the Lua version.  My version is as much worth keeping as Drum Guy's.  Jimp 18:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * COMMENT I will make a strong suggestion that all the parserfunction CONVERT templates be moved to templates.wikia.com and something like GitHub to preserve the coding for use by the wider MediaWiki community in the world at large, such as like what happens when we use GitHub to register our open source projects, the parserfunction codings are open source code for MediaWiki, and the CONVERT set is useful for those who do not deploy LUA, as well as good complex code examples. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:58, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * comment, I should have been more clear. these are not used by convert/old.  these were only used by forks of convert, like convert/text2, convert/text3, .... Frietjes (talk) 15:17, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete It's an unnecessary part of a tangled web of unused muddle affectionately addressed as the convert wrapper template system which deals with obscure cases in an ad hoc fashion instead of taking a standardised approach to the development of the likes of which is responsible for much of the illogical syntax of the template in its current form.  The first step towards tidying  up is to get rid of this muck.  Sorry, Wikid, you mean well but this wrapper business just adds confusion.  It really isn't the ideal way forward and, as you know, we've got a way to go.  Jimp 18:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: I speedy nominated this article under CSD T2 before I found that it had been listed here. From the list of contributors it looks like a misplaced classroom project. -- &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  19:11, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. There is some dissent about an e-mail parameter on Attribution, so I will start a discussion there. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 17:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC) Unused image license template. Essentially redundant to Attribution. Kelly hi! 06:50, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge add a switch for email notification -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:49, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not needed, we're not going to add an e-mail switch to all the various license templates. Anyone who wants e-mail notification (and very few do, in my experience) can put a request for it in the "Permission" field of the Information template. Kelly  hi! 15:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
