 * Tending to keep. Rather the other Navbox, which presents a huge but incomplete selection of characters, should be deleted. PanchoS (talk) 07:58, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * delete, the combined navbox works fine, and doesn't try to provide extraneous non-navigational information. Frietjes (talk) 17:02, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep. Withdrawn by nom, as it was a technical issue (which has since been fixed). (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 17:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC) Delete this template, unless it can be fixed in such a way that it cannot be put on a talk page unsubstituted. At present, if an editor ignores the instruction to substitute it, a misleading message "Xyz has smiled at you" appears on the talk page when Xyz was the last editor to edit it. This can be extremely misleading, misrepresenting the views of editor Xyz. Pam D  10:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Smile
 * Keep Useful and used template. Of course, if there is a technical problem it should be fixed.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:10, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep for same reasoning as User:7&amp;6=thirteen. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * User:PamD, I fixed this technical problem with this edit. Frietjes (talk) 14:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * That looks just what I was asking for. Thank you very much! Pam  D  15:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination, now that the "...unless..." clause has been satisfied. Thanks. Pam  D  15:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * User:PamD, we should probably get a bot to fix all the transclusions. unless it is easy to figure out who left the message, we should just replace the REVISIONUSER with 'a user' or something generic (in the old unsubstituted transclusions). Frietjes (talk) 15:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was relisted on December 12. Opabinia regalis (talk) 06:18, 12 December 2015 (UTC) This template is completely redundant with Template:YouTube. 117Avenue (talk) 04:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * YouTube user
 * Redirect to YouTube after converting existing instances to use the target template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:32, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete There's no need for redundant templates. Jimp 05:48, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not redundant. It's already a wrapper of YouTube. Also, 1000+ transclusions. PanchoS (talk) 07:52, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Because it's a wrapper it's not redundant? YouTube user does not have less parameters. 117Avenue (talk) 01:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong keep It is a very useful template, why is this even under discussion? Close this debate now. Neptune&#39;s Trident (talk) 16:34, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * This is under discussion because YouTube user is redundant to another template, a template that is more useful than YouTube user. Why do you think YouTube user is useful enough for a standalone template? 117Avenue (talk) 03:47, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
