The result of the discussion was no consensus. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 18:46, 28 April 2018 (UTC) As a list of cast and crew for a TV series it fails WP:PERFNAV. -- wooden superman  13:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

 * week keep, seems no worse than Survivor (U.S. TV series) contestants or any of the numerous others. Frietjes (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The general consensus has been not to include celebrity participants in a navbox for a reality show, only participants who became famous for their appearance on that show, or celebrity winners. This isn't the case here.  And presenters, etc, will always fail WP:PERFNAV.  -- wooden  superman  15:43, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Because that wouldn't be breaking the page in question? As for preference, there's no reason to have a separate distinct template. If it were a well-accepted preference, we would see a whole bunch of other such templates, but it's clear that the community doesn't want them. --Izno (talk) 14:12, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Discuss elsewhere – I think a user option of some kind is probably a better solution than separate templates. Can this get discussed again at Village pump to follow up on Village pump (idea lab)/Archive 3 Daask (talk) 21:56, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. I will work on writing a bot to do the template replacement (hopefully using code provided by Frietjes :)). Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 19:15, 28 April 2018 (UTC) Old, outdated and deprecated template system. There is a long-standing consensus that templates are not meant to replace plain wikicode and wikilinks. There is also consensus on WT:FOOTY and past TfDs is they system should be discontinued and replaced in order to follow better practices/newer styles. (''Note: This discussion is to determine a consensus to eliminate the use of the templates. The templates would first go to WP:TFD/H and later replaced before actually being deleted.'') S.A. Julio (talk) 17:46, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 11,982 templates, full list at Templates for discussion/Log/2018 April 20/Fb team TfD (Given the number of templates and length it takes to display, I listed the templates on a separate page in order to save resources)

 * Delete Finally! Number   5  7  13:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Don't mind these being replaced, but what's the replacement plan? I assume they'll be replaced by Sports Table and Sports Results module, but we'd need a bot for that. Coderzombie (talk) 15:07, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The first step would probably be to replace all template calls with the plain wikilink, and then later a bot hopefully could convert to the module. S.A. Julio (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think it'd be that simple, because a lot of templates are tightly coupled with table and result templates, so the replacement will have to be all or none type of bot job, can't just replace templates with wikilinks. Coderzombie (talk) 10:26, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment Please list a plan for a replacement plan first and get a bot working on it, and update relevant template documentation. Only AFTER that is it okay to delete. --SuperJew (talk) 17:32, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, once the discussion is closed, then a WP:BOTREQ can be filed. As mentioned above, the deletion would take place only after all template calls are substituted. S.A. Julio (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Why not file the BOTREQ already? Why wait for the deletion? My concern is that deletion will be approved and they will be deleted before being dealt with properly and tables will be wrecked as has happened in the past. --SuperJew (talk) 17:45, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * BTW, regarding the tables, some of them list the flag if the club is not the same country as the one whose season page it is. See for example here. --SuperJew (talk) 17:46, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Bot requests can only be made with proof of consensus to make the edits, hence why this discussion needs to be closed first. The closing admin can take this into account and not delete immediately (TBH with this many templates, deletion will also have to be done via a bot anyway). Number   5  7  18:16, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, the TfD administrator instructions state that templates should be deleted only after all instances are removed. In the meantime, the templates will be listed at the holding cell. And though a bit more complicated, a bot should be able to add the flagicon when necessary. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Administrative note - there are two admins with bots that are well-versed in the proper procedures of orphaning and deleting templates, as well as a large number of non-admins who do the same (most without bots). The templates will be deleted only when it is proper to do so. Primefac (talk) 01:00, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * StringReplace
 * 1) escape_pattern shouldn't be necessary at all, just pass true to whatever template you are passing the pattern.
 * 2) replace_all is completely redundant to the replace function in Module:String
 * 3) That just leaves "encode wiki page name", which has the same fault as Module:Qhm: a module that implements a hardcoded set of replacements that should use MultiReplace.
 * Delete Looks like this module is only being used by Commons category, Commons category-inline, Wiki category, and Wikisourcecat inline, and they're all using "encode wiki page name". I've mocked up replacements for all four in their sandboxes that use  instead. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|<span style="color:#FFF;background:#00F;display:inline-block;padding:1px 1px 0;vertical-align:-.3em;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Infobox religious biography. There are the usual caveats about being technically feasible, no parameters will be lost, backwards compatibility until the merge is complete, etc. Primefac (talk) 00:30, 29 April 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Infobox Muslim leader with Template:Infobox religious biography.

 * Oppose There are very important specialized line items that need to be specified in the info box such as creed/school of theology (Athari, Ashari, Maturidi...etc); school of jurisprudence jurisprudence (Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi, Hanafi..etc); and movement (Salafi, Sufi, Deobandi, Barelvi...etc).

 * Infobox religious biography also has these params, see Infobox Muslim leader/testcases. User:Capankajsmilyo(Talk 07:23, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Note: Module:Sports table/WDL is current used in 2018 FIFA World Cup, it serves 8 group stage table, but you can reconsider. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 05:40, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The WDL module is the backbone of all league tables on 1000s of articles for a variety of sports and 100% should not be deleted. Not sure why the module was mentioned, or why this was formatted as a merge discussion, "Fb mls header" itself is hardly transcluded and contains nothing which is not already present in the module. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:20, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete only Fb mls header, the template is not actually being used, and there is nothing valuable to merge into the module. However, the module should definitely not be deleted. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:20, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Templates for discussion (TfD) not only severs deletion but also severs merge discussion. Note that this is a merge discussion in majority. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 11:06, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
