The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) &#x222F; WBG converse 12:03, 14 December 2018 (UTC) This subtemplate is no longer used, per this search result and this search result. I found it being used inappropriately in three articles, and I replaced those transclusions with Date, which is much more useful and flexible. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:50, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Template:MOS-TM

 * 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 keep. There seems an overall consensus to keep the current state where the three templates are wrappers. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:24, 14 December 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Template:MOS-TM, Template:MOS-TW, Template:MOS-NB and Template:MOS-TRANS.
 * MOS-TM
 * MOS-TW
 * MOS-NB
 * MOS-TRANS

No reason to have four different templates when content on trans men, trans women and non-binary people are treated the same on Wikipedia. feminist (talk) 05:36, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Tentatively support; the very slight difference in the introductory wording ("...material about one or more trans men", etc) could be handled via a parameter if it is deemed absolutely necessary, but it seems like having a single template say "...one or more trans people" (or even "...one or more trans or non-binary people") would be fine. MOS-TRANS is probably the best name, out of the bunch, to use for the combined template. -sche (talk) 17:39, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I struck my tentative support since apparently the "parameter" solution has already been implemented, as pointed out below. No objection to expanding it ot handle MOS-NB the same way. -sche (talk) 04:01, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Procedural close since there is nothing to merge. The first three are already instances of, and have been since 16 February 2018, when an apparently undiscussed merge was performed by . -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 19:59, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Obviously if this puts anyone out, feel free to revert, it just made sense at the time. TheDragonFire (talk) 22:39, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Neutralish Historically there have been reasons to support small variations in wording in order to provide more explicit guidance, that can be implemented with few templates (which we have now, with three of them calling the fourth) or one single parameterized template, and I don't see strong policy reasons to prefer one vs. the other. --joe deckertalk 21:01, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Speaking as the original creator of Template:MOS-NB I agree with Redrose64; the merge has already been done, leave the templates as-is. Funcrunch (talk) 21:08, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
