The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  23:48, 13 April 2022 (UTC) Subpages of Template:See also that violate how the See also template is supposed to be used. The see also functions as a hatnote on the top of a section on an article linking related articles to the one you are reading. These three, however, don't function as hatnotes, but as a list to related articles for the respective subjects. The Lions template is used currently on two subpages of the creator. But it should be substituted in the proper format as a top-down list of related articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:24, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

 * If kept then these all need renaming, as they are incorrectly named. They should move to Leopards, Lions, Tigers (an unused redirect to a sports team... should be deleted if it isn't overwitten by this template) -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:47, 6 April 2022 (UTC)


 * To be honest, these are just template-ified lists that were previously in the See Also section of the different pages. I'm not sure why the creator felt it necessary to make them, as the original lists were just fine. It doesn't change often enough for it to really be saving an effort. SilverTiger12 (talk) 00:18, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Some pages in the See also/lions one don't even exist any more. And the other pages linked in the templates are already part of more templates created by the same user. – BhagyaMani (talk) 07:46, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Unnecessary templates, as these are for domestic level competitions, and so being part of a winning team is not a defining characteristic for navigating between these players. There was consensus from a small number of editors at the Cricket WikiProject to delete them, but obviously a full TfD is needed to delete. All are related competitions, so seems fine to bundle these sets of templates together.

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 00:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC) Template:ConvertAbbrev and all of its sub-templates are all unused. Some are without any transclusions while the others have transclusions in Template:ConvertAbbrev/doc which itself is transcluded into the sub-templates and in two archived discussions. The reason these are no longer in use is probably because they were replaced with Module:ISO 3166 and Module:ISO 639 name and their family of templates. Since those are being highly used (with Module:ISO 3166 itself on over 702,000k pages) there is no reason to keep a secondary system that duplicates it.

 * The template appears to have been copied into a number of other language wikipedias, so it may be necessary to preserve its history for attribution purposes. – Uanfala (talk) 13:58, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Many of these old templates were thusly translated. Wikimedia needs a code repository -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 02:28, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no such requirement. Gonnym (talk) 12:50, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It would help with WP:CWW; And it would also be nicer to other language Wikipedias that may not have sufficient userbase to maintain LUA fluency, since parserfunction versions of templates can be easier to maintain, so they can have fancy templates of their own. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:51, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That isn't the job nor the responsibility of en.wiki. If such a thing is wanted, move it to commons or whatever. Also, seeing as how this isn't used and isn't maintained and is replaced by other modules, any other language Wikipedia should be using those modules and not this one.

The result of the discussion was keep. Primefac (talk) 05:52, 13 April 2022 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Help me-helped with Template:Help me.
 * Help me-helped
 * Help me

Most other templates (e.g protected edit requests) have a parameter that, when equal to "yes", will produce something similar to this template. This template has a whole different template. I feel it would be easier and more consistent to merge these two templates and have "Help me" have a parameter that automatically produces this (and possibly additional text on the template telling people who use the templates about this parameter) instead.  interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 01:37, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose this merger in isolation. These two templates are part of a whole series of request and response templates (see Template:Help me/doc and the related Admin help series); the edit request templates are an entirely different series with different functionality and different response templates. One is not better than the other, they just work differently. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:35, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
