The result of the discussion was Delete; deleted by AnomieBOT ⚡  03:05, 10 November 2020 (UTC) Single-use template with code partially in German. Suggest Subst and delete * Pppery * it has begun... 23:03, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * LDLBerlin
 * Delete. The module invocation should be sorted before substing. Template:LexikonFranken is questionable too. --Izno (talk) 13:48, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It's implicit in a subst and delete result that the template is made to subst cleanly before substing it. By subst and delete, I meant a full reduction to untemplated wikitext in the one article. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:40, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Subst and delete Per nom. Brand-new template that doesn't even work right and doesn't seem useful elsewhere. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Template:Scroll gallery

 * 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. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC) The scroll gallery template is listed as broken however, it appears to just be a gallery set in the "slideshow mode" which can be achived with Gallery and with more functionality with the other template. Scroll gallery also has limited transclusions within articles. Terasail &#91;Talk&#93; 22:55, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Scroll gallery
 * Replace and delete Agree with nom, there is now a very widely used template "Gallery", which is better and more maintained than this template, and this template is only used on 6 articles. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Replace and delete per above. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:03, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Glancing at the documentation for Gallery, it's not very apparent how that would be used to make a scroll gallery. Some documentation improvements may be in order. (Whether or not scroll galleries are a good idea is a separate question that it might be good to discuss as well.) &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 23:37, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see what this gains us above and beyond relying on MediaWiki-native MediaGallery (aka Lightbox). --Izno (talk) 13:52, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Template:Wrapper

 * 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 merge to Template:Wrapper. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Wrapper with Template:Wrapper template.
 * Wrapper
 * Wrapper template

Wrapper and Wrapper template are both templates that provide documentation for wrapper templates. The main difference is that the former does so through a message box, whereas the latter does so through text. We should choose one format and stick with it. Wrapper template is far more used (260 transclusions vs. just 19), so it seems to be the preferred approach. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 22:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Agree, this sort of meta issue should definitely be standardised and also the first box is more easy to see. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge There should definitely be only one template for this. No opinion on which. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:03, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Wrapper template to Wrapper since the message box version is more natural (see Wraps infobox, Uses Infobox person). --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 06:24, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Wrapper. While the other one might be more used, from a quick glance, it's usage is for subset templates like Template:WikiProject Kentucky. Having this message as a line of text in an actual template, will cause the text to be harder to read. --Gonnym (talk) 11:50, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 11:10, 10 November 2020 (UTC) Small navbox that links to only 5 pages: the main article, Rockall; its corresponding category, Category:Rockall; 2 overly general topics, United Kingdom and Scotland; and Island of Rockall Act 1972, which is the only article that actually uses this navbox. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 13:30, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
