The result of the discussion was history merged. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 22:48, 14 May 2016 (UTC) This template is essentially a duplicate of Template:NCAA Division I-AA/FCS football champion navbox. While the nominated template is older than its duplicate, the new template contains more specific links, is transcluded on more specifically apt articles, and is in keeping stylistically with other analogous templates like Template:College Football National Champion pre-AP Poll navbox, Template:College Football National Champion navbox, and Template:College football national champion (championship game era) navbox Jweiss11 (talk) 18:17, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * NCAA Division I FCS National Champion navbox
 * Delete They're basically the same thing so no reason to have two of them. Also, maybe we could copy/paste Template:NCAA Division I-AA/FCS football champion navbox over Template:NCAA Division I FCS National Champion navbox and do some sort of history merge so that we can preserve the history. They're the same thing. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 15:02, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) ~ RobTalk 02:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC) Duplicates content that is already covered by the larger and more useful Template:Robin Hobb. All pages that this template is transcluded on also have the Robin Hobb template so nothing will be lost by deleting this. Jenks24 (talk) 10:49, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was subst and delete. While the usage for educational projects is understandable, this template is simply hard-coding the magic word, and as mentioned in the discussion is very rarely needed. For the sake of any pages I might not have seen that do require the TOC in a specific place, I am subst'ing the current usage. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2016 (UTC) All this template does is place the magic word "TOC" at the specified location. Originally had about 610 transclusions, though I removed the 8 or 9 that were in article space. The rest are either in Wikipedia or User space. The ones in article space simply duplicated the normal placement of the table of contents or, in one case, generated an unneeded table of contents in a very short article. All of the Wikipedia and User space placements seem to be related to Wikipedia coursework by some school. This template just doesn't seem to have any utility and all the placements that I looked at did not require a placement of the TOC magic word at all. While I am not dead set on deletion by any means, I think it does at least bear a look by the community. Safiel (talk) 06:32, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Table of contents
 * Delete as redundant. It requires the typing of more characters than the magic word, for goodness sake! Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:03, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. The purpose of this template was to make the markup of automatically-generated course page more understandable to newcomers. The TOC magic word is something that often confuses people looking at markup who are just getting started, so the course pages used a template that more clearly indicates just what it does: adds a table of contents. For new Wiki Ed course pages, that template was not being used directly, but instead transcluded as part of start of course timeline. I switched it out for the magic word, so that should remove the majority of uses, and avoid adding new uses of it. I still think a template like this makes sense for making markup as user-friendly as possible, but it shouldn't be a big deal to subst it everywhere and delete it if that's what the consensus is.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:36, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Convert to a substitution template -- 70.51.46.195 (talk) 12:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * delete, WP already does a great job of automatically figuring out where to put the TOC and this just encourages breaking WP:ACCESSIBILITY by misplacing it. Frietjes (talk) 16:39, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * We have many TOC templates. The default kind would seem to be something that should be accessible through a template, as compact TOC and list TOC etc exist -- 70.51.46.195 (talk) 06:54, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
