The old anti-vandalism bot user warning templates are no longer used by any bot or user that I know of. I believe that those templates were last used by the original ClueBot (which has been deactivated in 2010 in favour for ClueBot NG). Further, all four templates contain wording that is not typically seen in the other standardised user warning templates. For all of these reasons, this template is deprecated and unnecessary. Please delete it. Train of Knowledge (Talk|Contribs) 20:35, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The linked pages were redirected about a year ago (see related discussion at Talk:Terrier), and this navbox is not appropriate for placement on the target articles. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:01, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 16:49, 20 December 2019 (UTC) While this provides a link to the Steam storefront for a game, we do not want people to link to storefronts for video games. If there is an odd occasion to link to Steam it should be done as a reference link, not an external link. M asem (t) 03:31, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - linking to sales sites is not in ine with WP:EL. Making such inks into a template is not a good thing. -- Whpq (talk) 03:11, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

“yam” is apparently an alleged name for Black Country dialect in the English Midlands. This set of templates was created by a user who was briefly active in 2009. Another editor has added one to her user page along with all other national varieties of English, so that instance need not be taken seriously. The templates are otherwise unused. No other regional dialects have user templates or categories. See also Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_December_1. – Fayenatic  L ondon 01:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Move user en-yam to User:UBX/User en-yam to avoid modifying user pages. Delete the rest since these do not aid collaboration which all userboxes in the template namespace should. For future reference the correct venue for userboxes is MFD, but just keeping it here per WP:NOTBURO would be simpler. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 00:27, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Move Template:User en-yam per Trialpears, but I suggest a more descriptive name such as User:UBX/Black Country dialect and to update transclusions on the 2 user pages. Delete all others per nom. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Speedy keep per WP:SK; The nomination statement appears to be written as if this were a "this article is too short" maintenance tag, which it is not. (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 20:59, 13 December 2019 (UTC) Any human being can see for him/her self if an article is short or long. But most of all, this template is against the principle of Wikipedia of NPOV. There is no need that persons are tagging articles all over the place with it. There are yet too many tags in articles on English Wikipedia. We don't need it. Please delete it and remove it from all articles. Ymnes (talk) 08:10, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedy close. Not the venue as this is a tool that implements a WMF design feature and template wasn't tagged. --Gonnym (talk) 12:07, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
