Module:User contrib/sandbox/testcases

 * 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; deleted by AnomieBOT ⚡  06:04, 19 September 2020 (UTC) No meaningful tests (just compares a broken invocation of this module to the empty string, which always fails. Much more useful tests for Module:User contrib are available at Template:User contrib/testcases, but this title is too obscure to be a useful redirect there. I can't figure out how to tag /testcases pages, so haven't done so here. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:12, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. There's an issue (now being tracked on phab) but if and when that's resolved they'll stop throwing errors. Primefac (talk) 15:21, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Template:Infobox city Japan

 * 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 Replace (subst:) with Infobox settlement and delete. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:23, 19 September 2020 (UTC) Replace (subst:) with Infobox settlement and delete
 * Infobox city Japan

"city Japan"-specific wrapper for Infobox settlement, there is no such wrapper for "city India / China / Korea / Thailand / Vietnam / Pakistan / Canada / United States / Mexico / Colombia / Brazil ... ". Subst:itution will reduce the maintenance overhead, reduce the cognitive burden for editors, and enable articles to benefit more immediately from improvements to the current parent template.

 * Replace (subst:) with Infobox settlement and delete per nom. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:50, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support replacement and deletion. No special functionality. Deletion will enforce consistent parameter nameset, and allow all IS params to be used. Implementation note: please do not blindly subst as someone did with last settlement IB, it will create lots of blank param fields on the 1119 transclusions. Get one of the general TfD bots to do it properly. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:50, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Template:Timeline note

 * 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. (non-admin closure) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 10:29, 18 September 2020 (UTC) Originally nominated for speedy deletion by @Gonnym with the reason "Doc says used in Template:Note row"  F ASTILY   03:28, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Timeline note
 * Pretty much what WP:G8 is. If the parent template is deleted, where would this page, which is dependent on it, be used? --Gonnym (talk) 07:24, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Then could you please cite the exact passage from WP:CSD that permits such templates to be deleted? For the record, I'm not arguing against deletion, but I do think CSD should only be applied to clear-cut cases where specific policy can be cited.  -  F ASTILY   09:42, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page - the template states that it used in Note row. That template was deleted, so this template is dependent on a deleted page. --Gonnym (talk) 10:27, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That's the section heading for G8, which is obviously going to be a general statement. The following line,, clarifies situations where G8 may be applied, and none of the examples match up with the scenario we have here.  I interpret CSD pretty loosely, but even this is a stretch for me.  OTOH, I'd strongly support an RfC amending G8 to include this scenario. -  F ASTILY   22:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete and I would consider it as a G8 as well as a component of a deleted template. --Trialpears (talk) 08:06, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This should, ideally have been included in Templates for discussion/Log/2020 September 1. Delete slowly per the close of that discussion. (I don't think this meets G8, because it is still functional even though Template:Note row no longer exists). * Pppery * it has begun... 22:58, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
