Template:Channels on OSN

 * 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) 01:38, 14 November 2017 (UTC) This is the only satellite company that has a navigational template for the channels it carries. If this information is necessary to Wikipedia, it would be better expressed in a list or table. Until recently the template was only used in the satellite company's article until recently when an editor added the template to nine of channels' articles.

Template:Year article header/dom value

 * 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. (non-admin closure) Nihlus  00:11, 13 November 2017 (UTC) As with Template:Year article header/dom below, this sub-template is no longer going to be used in any year articles after my recent removal from Template:Year article header/Julian start; and should be deleted as well. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 19:24, 5 November 2017 (UTC) I created this in order to insert the dominical letter value for the beginning of each year's entry. If someone has fixed the template to no longer need this - and has been checked to confirm it works - then I have no problem with its deletion. My only concern is correct operation; it took me months to figure out how to "trick" Wikipedia into doing the calculations to automatically select all the information and my only concern is "Year article header" and all the subtemplates it calls work correctly.

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Nihlus  00:11, 13 November 2017 (UTC) No longer used in any year articles because Kaldari said in Special:Diff/793905190 that this is trivia.

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Nihlus  00:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC) unused. collapsed tracks templates have been generally deprecated as redundant to the succession links in the infobox and the navbox at the foot of the article. Frietjes (talk) 16:47, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society tracks
 * Delete Since this one is not being used and The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society exists in the same articles this one would be used in, there's no need for the redundancy. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:54, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Strathspey Thistle F.C.

Relisting comment: A lot of ideas, but nothing cohesive.
 * All we know is that it hasn't been used in the past three months. We have no way of knowing if this wasn't used before this template's "shibboleth" was added in July. – Uanfala 10:34, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose (I hadn't checked the page history), but it's also not a very helpful redirect. One would expect it to work similarly to 3~ instead of going to a user warning template. Jc86035 (talk) 14:30, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Its title is confusing, yes. I would expect it to simply return a tilde, like character-substitution templates do. – Uanfala 15:00, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * For almost all of its 10-year history, this was a redirect to uw-tilde. tilde also redirects there, and I guess we would probably need a good reason to make ~ do something else entirely. – Uanfala 15:06, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't most editors use Twinkle/Huggle to add user warnings (or use the actual template title)? If there isn't anyone regularly using the redirect (maybe leave it for a few more months?) it would probably be safe to change it to . Jc86035 (talk) 15:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * seems reasonable to make this do something similar to Template:. Frietjes (talk) 14:06, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nihlus  00:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Fwiw, I think it's probably safest to let that rest for a few months more, and then, provided there are still no signs of use, proceed to boldly turn it into a character-substitution template. – Uanfala 20:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
