Template:Editnotices/Page/ATV

 * 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. Primefac (talk) 13:53, 20 January 2017 (UTC) It is proposed to delete per CSD T3 "Templates that are substantial duplications of another template" ..of the standard dab page editnotice which is shown at the same time when editing ATV. If any improvement to the standard dab editnotice is needed, this second duplicate and currently incorrect editnotice is not the place, but the standard one is. Widefox ; talk 23:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Editnotices/Page/ATV
 * The template "isn't correct about redlinks - they are allowed per WP:MOSDAB, and duplicates the normal dab editnotice which links to the do's and don't and MOS. The template warns "Attention editors! No red links." which is not correct per WP:DABRED. The template isn't even needed as it duplicates the correct dab editnotice which does correctly say red links are allowed iff ..(link to DDD) "Don't include red links that aren't used elsewhere. ... An entry with a redlink must also include a blue link that mentions the term being disambiguated."" Widefox ; talk 09:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep: why would you delete? It says that entries in the list require an article first. Lists with redlinks are worthless as they do not point readers to the articles they are seeking. (baffled) -- Alexf(talk) 00:35, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment see also discussion at Talk:ATV, (excerpt put at top by nom). Widefox ; talk 09:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: this is just an ordinary dab page, and the rules for entries are the same as for every dab page; we don't need a shouted "Attention Editors", and "No Red Links" is incorrect. Red links are perfectly OK on a dab page as long as there is a blue link in the entry to a page where the topic is discussed. The edit notice also refers to the dab page as a "list", incorrectly, and seems to suggest that sources are needed in the dab page, incorrectly. Altogether likely to cause stress and confusion, and not to help the progress of this dab page. Pam  D  10:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, as confused and unnecessary fork. older ≠ wiser 11:32, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete; it's wrong and adds unnecessary clutter to the edit page. People are confused enough about dab pages as it is. — Gorthian (talk) 01:27, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Template for a non-notable season award that isn't even notable enough for its own article Joseph2302 (talk) 22:24, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Delete all (including below related) Even the team is notable, per WP:Footy the squad template was for current squad only, it is not intended to create template for historical season. If someone is one club man then the article would flooded with 10 or more templates. Matthew_hk  t  c  06:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all - if there is no article then a corresponding template shouldn't exist. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 15:09, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 09:56, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Playing devil's advocate here - what makes this award template any different than e.g. 2015–16 Premier League PFA Team of the Year, other than a missing corresponding article, which can be easily rectified? GiantSnowman 10:10, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment forget what agreement on Template: XYZ league Team of the Year, as a honour but already shown in other section, thus delete? ( I don't remember but the argument on keeping youth national team template or not) Matthew_hk   t  c  10:14, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Template:Shared IP 1

 * 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 no consensus. Primefac (talk) 18:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC) Useless, redundant, fully-protected template. Redirect to shared IP and downgrade to template protection. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 01:13, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Shared IP 1
 * Reduced to TE protection already. — xaosflux  Talk 02:32, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * My reason for creating this was as follows. The original version of shared IP was replaced by one which said "Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account!" in large print. 99% of the time that is much better, as it is more friendly. However, there are times when although an IP address is potentially a shared one, it has clearly bee used substantially by one person over a long time, and that person is a persistently disruptive editor who has been blocked repeatedly, and very often one who is evading blocks. In that situation, it is not helpful to encourage the editor to create an account to evade blocks again: indeed, to do so would be contrary to policy. I therefore thought that for such occasions it would be helpful to still have the older version of the template available. When I first created it, I used it with low but significant frequency. More recently I have rarely used it, so I would not be terribly upset if it were deleted, but I don't agree that it is "useless". Even if KATMAKROFAN doesn't see any use for it, does its existence do any harm? Is there any reason that it can't be left in existence for occasions when it could be useful, even if they are rare?

The result of the discussion was keep. I have removed the redlinks, but see there are a bunch of pages up for deletion. NPASR if those pages end up being deleted.

It's a very useful map for showing the team locations. Links aren't necessary since it's adjacent to a list of teams and the teams are too dense to show the names at this scale.
