Timeline of Microsoft Office

 * 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 subst and delete. Both templates should be modeled after Template:Timeline of Microsoft Office for Windows/sandbox and then directly placed into their respective articles. (non-admin closure) Nihlus  08:33, 12 March 2018 (UTC) These contents-only templates are used in one article only. I don't see why their content should not be on that article, where any editor can edit them. I propose we substitute and delete them.

 * Subst and delete per nom. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 03:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The code for this is quite long and complex, so that substituting could confuse article editors. If there is not a way to shorten this code I'm leaning toward keeping the template. Mamyles (talk) 18:53, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * ... and yet the article itself is maintaining long and complex code for the infobox for its one table.
 * In addition, the article is under PC protection, which means this long and complex code is better preserved there.
 * Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 09:25, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * comment, I made a new version in Template:Timeline of Microsoft Office for Windows/sandbox using simple Horizontal timeline. the code is very slightly reduced (could probably be reduced more).  not sure if this is an improvement. Frietjes (talk) 19:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

 * subst and delete sandbox version is reasonably simpler (doesn't use whatever that syntax is but normal syntax) and isn't much more complicated than say the table above it in the article.. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:37, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Infobox lunar eclipse
 * Please keep. I've not worked on lunar eclipses for a while, but this stat table will be useful in the future for a more general solution for stats on each event. Tom Ruen (talk) 06:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Tom Ruen, is the idea to create something like Template:Infobox solar eclipse for lunar eclipses? if so, I am happy to help. Frietjes (talk) 13:35, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, definitely. I've just not got around to looking to do this. Tom Ruen (talk) 00:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Tom Ruen, okay, I started module:Lunar eclipse, but still need to construct the data modules. Frietjes (talk) 19:53, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
