Template:TaxonIds

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete after converting the articles to use Taxonbar as discussed. ~ Rob 13 Talk 01:03, 23 December 2016 (UTC) Per the discussion at Template talk:TaxonIds, this template is redundant to taxonbar, and in many cases, both are being employed on the same page. To fix the duplication, I suggest we replace taxonIds with taxonbar. Of course, I don't suggest deleting this template until the migration is complete. Frietjes (talk) 22:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

 * support migration/deletion – it's redundant to taxonbar, as noted. (Personally I'd get rid of that template too, but I suspect this is a minority view.) Peter coxhead (talk) 07:57, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * support deletion after migration, as stated on Template talk:TaxonIds. Is anyone actively working on the migration to taxonbar? MichaK (talk) 09:39, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Support migration/deletion. Note that TaxonIDs sometimes has links that aren't yet in Wikidata (and thus won't show up in taxonbar); the migration process should probably include getting these IDs into Wikidata (creating a maintenance category along the lines of Category:Encyclopedia of Life ID not in Wikidata might facilitate this).

 * Support migration/deletion. There are about 7,075 transclusions of this template right now, though, so the migration sounds pretty painful, but it'd be great to have all that data safely in Wikidata. It looks like the fastest way there would be to (1) add WikidataCheck to identify data that Wikidata doesn't have yet (I tried this just now), (2) to put in a request at User:JJMC89 bot/Wikidata external link template parameter removal to automatically move the data over, and then (3) to delete all instances of this template. I'd love to put some time into this, but I'm completely swamped for the next couple of months --- but if it's not done by then, feel free to ping me and see if I have more time available then! -- Gaurav (talk) 19:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * delete. I does not contain useful data. It is possible to replace TaxonIds with taxonbar in all gastropod articles immediately. --Snek01 (talk) 21:16, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

There is no reason for a 2nd template Zackmann08  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:11, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Completely unrelated templates. Infobox storm small is for hurricanes, while Infobox storm is for tornadoes, tornadoes themselves, winter storms and such. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 17:57, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * are you sure? Because Infobox storm small has 1 article transclusion... -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:37, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

 * delete, infobox storm small has apparently been orphaned during this discussion so must not be needed. Frietjes (talk) 14:39, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
