 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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. ✗ plicit  11:12, 11 November 2021 (UTC) Purposeless, as there is only one of two templates used that exist. Having this adds pointless and more confusing options, and contributes to maintenance burden. I propose deletion. Tom (LT) (talk) 07:45, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Uw-attack1-rand
 * Delete Unused. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:25, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Relist. Appears to have been part of an A/B-testing experiment done about ten years ago to improve editor notifications using tools like Huggle, Twinkle, etc. See User talk:Quiddity (WMF)/Archive 1, WikiProject User warnings/Testing, and m:Research:Template A/B testing. I think that we should relist this discussion on today's page and add the following (apparently?) unused templates, along with their subpages, that appear to have been part of that experiment:


 * Proposed deletion notify-rand
 * Uw-attack1-short
 * Uw-bio1-default
 * Uw-bio1-rand
 * Uw-bio1-short
 * uw-blank1-default
 * Uw-blank1-rand
 * uw-blank1-short
 * Uw-delete1-default
 * Uw-delete1-rand
 * Uw-delete1-short
 * Uw-error1-default
 * Uw-error1-rand
 * Uw-error1-short
 * Uw-npov1-default
 * Uw-npov1-rand
 * Uw-npov1-short
 * Uw-spam1-bot
 * Uw-spam1-default
 * Uw-spam1-rand
 * Uw-spam1-short
 * Uw-spam2-bot
 * Uw-spam3-bot
 * Uw-spam4-bot
 * Uw-test-rand1
 * Uw-test1-default
 * Uw-test1-rand
 * Uw-test1-short
 * Uw-unsor1-default
 * Uw-unsor1-rand
 * Uw-unsor1-short
 * Uw-vandal-rand1
 * Uw-warn1-short


 * I think that's the whole list. There may be one or two more. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 02:19, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: A vast majority of these templates have not been tagged for deletion, which I will do shortly. Additionally, some have been discussed in the past and kept (see Templates for discussion/Log/2020 June 2, for example), so additional discussion would be beneficial. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  10:52, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete all Including my individal nominated Template:Uw-attack1-short. Not a single one is being used nor is needed to message users about their edits or behavior. Other widespread substittued messages are used more often. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:00, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete all of the -rand templates - There are plenty of legitimate reasons to have alternate texts (one user may prefer the -short text over the -default text) and those alternate versions should be considered separately on their merits. But having a template randomly selected is pointless and silly. --B (talk) 18:10, 5 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete all. The test was done in 2012 and is documented on meta. If wish to keep the associated templates, they are welcome to import them, but there is no reason to keep unused tests here "just because". Gonnym (talk) 15:18, 8 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete all These template remains of a decade old test are not needed on Wikipedia, as they are unused and serve no purpose. We also don't need another horde of stuff kept "just because". Newshunter12 (talk) 20:56, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  11:15, 11 November 2021 (UTC) There is no need to use this template anymore because the GFDL is no longer used as a copyright license. Did Q28 make a mess today? 09:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
