Template:Flow ad

 * 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. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 23:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC) This template is an advertisement for Flow. Flow has been uninstalled from English Wikipedia. Previous TFD discussions have reached consensus to delete all Flow templates. Alsee (talk) 23:48, 21 May 2017 (UTC) to reply to me 11:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Alsee, why didn't you notify me of this discussion? WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:37, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * WhatamIdoing, I use Twinkle. I do have it set to issue notification to a page's creator by default. Were you the page creator? If so, and you didn't get notified, then the script must have failed on that edit for some reason? I definitely did not try to deliberately conceal anything. Alsee (talk) 22:48, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Checking my contribution history, I see no creator-notification was sent. I'm willing to endorse reopening the discussion if you really want, but I don't think the outcome is likely to change. Flow has been uninstalled on EnWiki and Meta, and people here clearly don't want it coming back any time soon. The WMF ran a survey which was WP:VOTESTACKed has hard as possible in favor of Flow. After massively canvassing of Flow enthusiasts, it still only managed to scrape up 38% support for Flow. A majority did not want it. I think the current attempt to revive Flow development is only going to result in more wikis requesting Flow be uninstalled. The WMF seriously should not be diverting money and developers away from the backlog of things we need. Alsee (talk) 23:36, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 17:31, 28 May 2017 (UTC) A navbox holding only redlinks, and of doubtful utility in any case. DES (talk) 17:47, 21 May 2017 (UTC) to reply to me 11:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete; deleted as G2 by AnomieBOT ⚡  20:27, 22 May 2017 (UTC) I can't see this template ever having any useful purpose. It's another bit of promotion by user:PadmanabaReddiar. Not sure if this qualifies for speedy as a test edit, so here we are. Meters (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Template:PBS Alabama

 * 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. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 17:30, 28 May 2017 (UTC) This navbox doesn't actually navigate "PBS member stations in the state of Alabama" like its title says; it just links to TV market templates, cities in Alabama, and TV network templates. Not an appropriate use of a navbox. Maybe other navboxes in Category:Intrastate PBS templates have the same issue; I haven't looked. — This, that and the other (talk) 12:55, 21 May 2017 (UTC) to reply to me 11:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 00:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC) Delete Another woefully incomplete navbox for the species in a genus. Misleading as it only shows blue links, and would be a sea of red links if complete (see List of Omphalodes species for that sea).
